I think this is the third book by Jonathan Cahn I have read. All of them have a lot in common: he looks for patterns in modern events, and draws parallels between those and Biblical events, often coming down to patterns in numerical calendar dates to show that one is a "type" of the others. Some of the correlations he draws are jaw-dropping; others seem like a stretch. This book was no different, but it's even more prescient than the others, because it involves the Hamas attacks upon Israel on Oct 7, 2023, and how this is actually the resurrection of an ancient enemy of Israel, following a predictable pattern drawn from both biblical accounts.

As in his other books, Cahn focuses a great deal on the pattern of the Jubilee--how many things concerning Israel occur on 50-year cycles. We don't actually know when the ancient Jubilees were before Israel was dispersed, because those records are lost, and I'd never seen him admit that in previous books, but he does in this one. However, I do have to admit that the 50-year cycles he's identified since Israel regained its land, and even 50 years before that, is quite eerie.

This book also ventures into the subject of end times, though he makes no predictions regarding timing. He does imply that this attack of Hamas upon Israel is shaping up such that it *might* prefigure, or might even become, Ezekiel 38-39. Then he treats Revelation, describing Israel's foretold fate (and how it too follows the ancient pattern) right on through to the New Heaven and the New Earth.

Absolutely compelling, and very timely!

The Dragons Prophecy


Jonathan Chan continues to expand on his previous books by drawing parallels between events in the Bible and their modern-day counterparts. He delves into biblical prophecies and explores the meanings of Hebrew words, showing how they are relevant in today's world.

One of the main takeaways from the book is the idea that for every good ordained by the Lord, the devil has an evil and inverted counterfeit.

Chan also takes time to point out the similarity with previous wars in Israel and the most recent counterparts

I wholeheartedly recommend this book. It's a fast-paced and attention-grabbing read.

Jonathan Cahn by the grace of God continues to wake each of us up that God's word and promises are true, real, and that we sometimes get caught up in life and don't recognize God's hand moving today as it always has.

The book is outstanding, easy to read, simple to understand. I highly recommend it to everyone. I pray that everyone will wake up to the fact that we wrestle not against flesh but against principalities and powers in high places. This book lets you know who your fight is against.

Looked forward to this only to have paid for a Pro-Isreal, anti-Palestine poorly written propaganda piece! Why poorly written? 1) Why are scriptures only noted in end-notes? Everybody knows you place chapter/verse immediately after use. 2) Most chapters are 1-2 pages long. End notes arranged by chapter, noted on one page only. In other words, difficult/cumbersome to find that one chapter page. 3) Entire book is written in short quips with large headlines. Quick read

I thought this would be an eschatological work, i.e. return of Sea People. Who are they? Well brace yourselves folks for this amazing deduction. They are the Phillistines - yes, that term used to describe the uncouth, the poorly civilized, boorish fools. They were originally a seafaring people - and they are baaaack! How do we know? Because on Oct 7 Hamas attacked Israel. Think I'm joking - he'll remind you of that every other page. Basically, anything that is anti-Israel (geo-political land mass not 'the people of God'.)is deemed to be devised of the Anti-Christ.

Apparently, the only lesson the Israeli's have learned the past 5800 yrs of poor treatment is - 'make sure you do the same thing to your enemies!' 'eye for an eye'! Mind you Cahn is supposedly a Christian. For example, Chapter 21, pg 75:

Beating Plowshares into Swords
"In order to prevent Gazans from producing weapons to used against Israeli citizens, a ban was put into effect on the import of iron and the iron alloy steel. In ancient times the Phillistines kept the Israelites from making weapons of iron. In modern times the saga continued, as Israel sough to keep the Filastin people of Gaza from, likewise, producing weapons of iron."

He goes on to say that the Israelites made weapons anyway -just like the 'Phillistine' Palestinians are doing now. How? They have misappropriated humanitarian aid to buy and forge weapons to be used on Israelis.

In toto: Anyone who is Pro-Palestine is an enemy of Israel and an advocate of the Anti-Christ. The ENTIRE BOOK is founded around the current political environment of Israel's current conflict.

I was hoping to be reading something on par with the likes of Michael Heiser's Unseen Realm. Nothing could have been further removed from that excellent work.

I always feel like I have sat through a year of college when I read a book from Jonathan Cahn. Eyes are definitely opened more since reading The Dragon’s Prophecy. I encourage everyone to read this latest release from Jonathan Cahn. Trust me. You won’t be so confused about what is happening all around us.

An amplification of Christian and Jewish traditions and doctrine

The book explains clearly and in detail the characteristics of the latter days, the end of the age, and profound things stated simply but expanded. The information is available all over the world 🌎 but connected coherently in the book. Christianity needs the background of the Jewish culture. The ✡ Jews need their Messiah. The Dragon 🐉 must die because it fights the Lamb of Life and Life. The Dragon cannot exist without the Lamb. The Lamb creates. ✡

Rabbi Cahn was moved by the Holy Spirit to write this book in response to the horrific Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, a Jewish holy day and the day when the plans for the Temple's dedication were celebrated. So, in essence this book was co-written by the author and the Holy Spirit. It is an inspired literary and spiritual response to the heinous attack.

In this book, Rabbi Cahn tackles the topics of the 'dragon' figure, dark resurrection of evil incarnate, the role of the strengthened Jewish people, antisemitism and the role it will have in the "End of Days" (the last Days), the non-believers' fate, and the holy warriors. I believe this may be his most hard-hitting book. The author once again, demonstrates his blessed ability to tie in historical and prophetic occurrences. I was also touched with his forthright honesty and concern for the people (believers, Jewish, and non-believers) of this earth.

The author sends considerable time and space writing about the character of the Devil, including his once high-ranking position in heaven. The Devil whose name was Lucifer before he fell for his jealousy, rebellion, and boast. He claimed he would replace God which created the enmity between God and Lucifer. There is also a connection between the Devil's return and the rise of the Antichrist. The author lays out that the Devil or the Dragon will return accompanied by little dragons (peoples and leaders). One of these "little dragons" are the descendants of the ancient Philistines, the age-old enemy state of Israel. The historical enmity between them and the Jewish people is based on faith and territory. It is from here that Rabbi Cahn launches the main theme of his book.

This book conveys that the Palestinians claim their heritage from the ancient Philistines who occupy the ancient site of Gaza, one of the five principal cities of Philistia. Their hatred and rage against Israel who they label a usurper is cultural as is their commitment to war against them. Like their ancestors, they launch missiles, attacks, and taunts from their land position. The Palestinians base their claim on the land because they once had a kingdom in the area and once outnumbered the Jewish people. they want to return to the days of old. This anger is fomented by the Devil who wants to destroy Israel, the beloved of God.

Rabbi Cahn details his short chapters with facts and historical events such as the capture of Samson, the slaughter of King Saul and his sons, the attacks on the Jewish towns to the events of October 2023. He shows the historical connection between the Nazis and the Palestinians (inheritors of the Philistine view) by way the Grand Mufti (Mohammed Amin al-Husseini) who admired German Chancellor Adolf Hilter and worked with the Nazis and brought that ideology home to the Middle East is alarming. The author and historian continues the chain by showing that the Mufti mentored Yasser Arafat and indoctrinated him in a hatred for the Jewish state and people through his brainchild organization, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). Another agent of the Dragon's (Devil's) was of darkness was Hasan Al-Banna, leader of The Muslim Brotherhood. This organization was funded by Hitler and was the purveyor of anti-Semitism and violence against the Jewish settlers. From it sprung the Islamic Resistance (now known as Hamas). Hamas was formed in Gaza as the arm of annihilation of Israel. The term, 'hamas" means "men of violence" and is found in the Bible. The organization was created out of hate and fueled lies spun by the Dragon (the Devil). Even the names of Iron Dome and David's Sling, Israel's defense and offense systems have historical connections to the days of old. These revealed truths show the ability and talent of pointing out historical precedents and undeniable prophetic fulfillments that set Rabbi Cahn's book apart from other prophetic books.

What stood out for me was Hamas' decision to attack on the holy day of Shemini Atzeret and the Sabbath converting it to a Black Sabbath (HaShabbat HashHorah) and the violent acts committed against the Jewish people (especially women and children) followed the ancient script of the Dragon's hatred of woman (the Virgin Mary and Jesus). The evil manner of the Dragon has not changed in that he strikes in violence and hatred. This predictable behavior illustrates that the Dragon only wants to bring sorrow to Israel. The Dragon - Devil seeks to replace all this holy and sacred with the profane and evil. Hamas 'flood' of violence is also in keeping with the Dragon's plan to change what God uses for good to evil. The flood of cleansing water that God used to purify the earth, Hamas (the Devil's own) used a flood of violence to stain the land of Israel. The vile joy that spread among Hamas and the Palestinian people after the October 7th massacre and abductions is another evil sign of the Dragon. In truth, the Palestinians made October 7th a Palestinian worldwide Islamic holiday by expressing joy and claiming it was a patriotic attack. This evil belief was spread worldwide and in the US by foolish and deceived college students who sang praises over the Hamas' attack. They called the profane attack a patriotic act. The call for Jewish hate was pawned by the Dragon/Devil. His minions led the attack on Israel in the Yom Kippur War of 1973 and then 50 years to the date, the Shabbat War of 2023 began. The period of 50 years which is the length of God's Jubilee Year was selected by the Dragon/Devil to mock God's covenant of restoration and renewal at the 50-year Jubilee. In truth, Rabbi Cahn Cahn lays out many purposeful evil acts that are carried out against Israel. There is no doubt in the reader's mind that the Dragon is following a script that leads up to the End of Days.

All believers in the Lord Jesus know that He wins and the Dragon/Devil/Satan loses. The Dragon also knows this but is married to his hatred and madness. The Hamas' shoah' (storm) mimics the Nazi storm that led to holocaust ('shoah'). All of this plays into the coming Apocalypse replete with the four horseman (global afflictions) represented by the colors (red, black, green, and white)of the flags of the enemies of Israel. Rabbi Cahn points to the players in this biblical drama and showdown gathering now against Israel. This book encapsulates the Book of Revelation, Daniel, Ezekiel, and others.

The author's revelation of the prophetic signs that mark the End of Days show that this is the biblical event that could only happen now. Rabbi Cahn also writes about the main characters who play major roles in the End of Days. Of those, the Dragon (the Devil) who opposes God has one who will serve as his vessel (a counterfeit leader), the Beast. The Beast will exist as the Dragon's personification and manifestation on earth. The Beast will claim to be the Messiah but is actually the Anti-Messiah, a counterfeit of Jesus the true Messiah. The Beast will pollute the earth and act the opposite of Jesus. He will defile the pure, debase creation, pervert the holy, and satanize the godly. His ultimate desecration was the desecration of the Temple of God. The days of the Beast are getting closer as predicted in the Holy Scriptures. The downward slide of culture, the abandoning of faith, and sliding morals all are signs of the Anti-Christ spirit. The Anti-Christ spurns the biblical standards of honoring God has birthed anti-Semitism. This last attitude is key to the Dragon's plan to strike at Israel.

The author lays out the Dragon's plan to position Palestine as the rightful claimant to the land of Israel. He uses deception, lies, and re-writes history to back this ploy. The terrorists who operate around Israel have embraced this and now infect the whole world with their false claims and untruths. They still are committed to striking Israel from the ancient land of Palestine. This is an ancient plan that now has new life. As the violence builds, the path to Armageddon is being set. This final battle which the Bible predicts is getting more verification with each modern event is mirrored in the ancient prophetic record. The influence of the Dragon, the deceiver of nations is evident. The spirit of the Dragon has gone out into the world and spread its poison. Once is an enmity against Israel. The author refers to the Book of Zechariah which speaks of a multi-national alliance against Israel which has happened. Rabbi Cahn speaks of the ancient prophecy in Leviticus that predicts an ordained attack against Israel on a Holy Day that was fulfilled on October 7, 2024. This celestial and earthly chess game was played out as the author wrote the book and continues to be played out. More events continue to be revealed even as I read this prophetic fulfilled book. For example, 2024 is the Year of the Dragon and a comet called the 'Mother of Dragons' will be visible for the first time in 70 years. The anti-Semitic chants of "Death to Jews", an alliance between Russia and several Islamic nations, the support of several Islamic nations for the attacks on Israel, and a worldwide criticism of Israel are all parts of t Dragon's planned attack on Israel. I cannot argue that we are nt in the End of Days.

The author lays out the End of Days beginning with an event on the Temple Mount happening. The abomination of the new Jewish Temple will be the start of the End of Days. The Temple is the heart of God in Israel so he will respond to any attack on his Temple. This piece of land is called 'the mountain of the Lord.' The fact that no current house of worship exits on this sacred piece of land and no Jewish worship acts allowed there reflects the Dragon's disrespect for God. The Dragon will attack any intent or plan to hold a Jewish faith service on the captured mount. When Jewish leaders announced a desire to observe a Jewish holiday in the spring of 2023, a clash broke out and calls for an act of revenge spread throughout the Islamic world. The anger grew into the Islamic Operation Al-Aqsa (the Flood) against Israel of October 7, 2024. The October 7th attack was like the 911 Attack which was a response to supposed Jewish plans fro the Temple Mount. This "ground zero" of prophecy will again be what sparks the final battle between God and the Dragon. The author speaks at length about this final conflict which will be initiated by the Dragon and his vessel, the Anti-Christ. Remember, Israel's final trial will likely begin and end on a holy day because that is the Dragon's modus operandi - to usurp the worship of the lamb (the Lord). But, evil cannot last because God created the Devil, a creation is NOT stronger than the creator.

Rabbi Cahn points out that the Dragon is behind all this evil. He has used gullible and deluded people, organizations, and countries to push his evil agenda. It is clear from this book and the Bible, that this is a war between two entities. All believers worldwide, the Jewish people, & Israel stand with the Lord against the Dragon & his minion non-believers, terrorist organizations, and Islamic nations with an enmity against Israel. The Dragon's hatred of these people is based on his hatred of the Lamb (Israel) and "the woman (the church) and her children (believers)". But, scripture speaks of a falling away of a nation that once was Christian who will ally with the Beast. The author points out that there is another sign of the End of Days, fascist dictators who will persecute believers. These will ally with the Beast according to the holy scriptures. The church must also divest itself from the world to stand with the Lord against the fallen forces of the Dragon. The Christians and Israel are targeted by the Dragon for different reasons. Israel, the divinely-assigned homeland of the Jewish people is a reminder that God has a country of holy warriors which he (the Dragon) helped form through the constant attacks by the Dragon's minions. The world is allied with the Dragon against Israel. In spite of this, the Dragon will meet his defeat.

The author wraps up his book by refocusing on Jesus the Messiah. It is He, the Lamb who stands above the Dragon. Jesus who was declared the King of the Jews WILL defeat the Dragon. Rabbi Cahn points out the irony that the one named the Lamb and the Shepherd will thrash the Dragon. The author reminds the reader that while the Dragon (the Devil), the opposer of God's works and peoples may seem imposing he is subservient to the Lamb of God. Jesus, the Lord is the Son of God and He is here to vanquish the Devil (Dragon) and reclaim all that is His - the church and people. it is we, the people who are the believers who will help fight the onslaught of the minions of the Dragon. We follow the Messiah who overcomes all. History shows that the end is inevitable because try as he may, the people of God always rebound regardless of the Dragon's plans and evil acts. All the past usurpers of Israel have been vanquished. It will be the same with Islamic terrorists. The Lamb of God has provided the power to overcomes the Dragon. We must hold into the promise of victory. God is real and He is in charge, not the Dragon (the Devil).

As I finished reading this book by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, I can appreciate that I am blessed by God and the target of hate by the Dragon. By the power of the Lamb, we will overcome the enemy. We must stand with God, knowing that the Dragon's Prophecy includes his defeat. In the end, the Dragon and his world will be removed.

I highly recommend this book for it is a script of this drama in which we find ourselves.

I truly feel bad giving this book 2/5 stars, but since Goodreads absolutely refuses to make a 2.5 rating possible, here we are. I have a lot of conflicting thoughts after reading “The Dragon’s Prophecy”. To break this down, it must be understood what Jonathan Cahn’s book is and is not trying to be.

“The Dragon’s Prophecy” IS attempting to explain the Christian premillennial view of the End Times by drawing direct connections from the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks on Israel. Cahn portays the events of October 7 as a microcosm of what will take place in the End Times, not as the subject of biblical prophecy itself. I believe he succeeds in this respect, even if some of the connections he draws between ancient and modern events may not be as consequential as he purports them to be.

“The Dragon’s Prophecy” is NOT in any way attempting to explore the pragmatic/secular reasons behind the Israel-Palestine conflict. It is framed as God’s People under attack from pawns of the devil. While I don’t disagree with this characterization as a Christian, I must admit that it was difficult for me to view the conflict with Israel being COMPLETELY blameless for how all of this has unfolded. I do not doubt the spiritual war unfolding above the Israel-Palestine conflict, but God’s People are not free from sinful manipulation, and surely a long history of Israeli AND Palestinian actions are responsible for the reality of October 7 as influenced by Satan.

Beyond this point, there were several formatting choices throughout “The Dragon Prophecy” that I grew quite frustrated with, leading to a lower rating. The book is 266 pages long without its bibliography, but it probably only had 150-200 pages of material; I mean that literally, because the author dissected the book into so many chapters, headings and sub-sections (some spanning a single sentence) that it all became completely redundant. Maybe Cahn hoped readers could go back and reference specific sections more easily, but this was impeded by the ridiculous titles for all of them. Many sound like a cheesy fantasy novel. My favorite was “Part IV: The Return of the Sea Peoples”. . . . Otherwise known as the Palestinians! It just reinforces the notion of an “End Time prophecy book” being a thinly-veiled money grab (which many people surely WILL interpret it as).

Despite my disappointments with “The Dragon Prophecy”, I did find genuine value in reading it. I guess what you get out of the book is really up to you to decide.

Disappointing

I don't know why but I expected more. The entire book was a biblical history of the Evil One's war on Jews and how we Christians are Israeli by extension, in spirit. In the end there's no revelation, I should have known, we are not to know His plan. The conclusion is ' have faith, fight the fight, don't give up and all will be wondrous beyond comprehension in the end. Basically, nothing here that wasn't taught in childhood Sunday school.

Promises far more than it delivers and *desperately* needs editing. Sews things together that probably weren't meant to be together, in the plan of making a cohesive picture. Interesting, but I'm not sure why this is a best seller.

This was an interesting book.

Weaving Biblical prophecies with a "word," Cahn got from the Lord and delivered the night before the October 2023 Gaza horrors. This was an eye-opener as he contrasted Jewish traditions and history, not to mention Biblical passages, with what actually happened.

Like his last book, this book made me sit up straight and really wonder.

Is God behind all this?

Well, why wouldn't he be?

A modern day prophet

I have read every book Jonathan Cahn has written. I believe he is a modern day prophet of the Lord. His knowledge of ancient Israel and his God given insight of how it relates to world events is amazing. The only critique I have is he tends to repeat himself over and over. It is his style of writing and speaking, I assume because he gets very passionate about his topic. I will continue to read and watch everything he speaks on because his teachings are fascinating and directly related to world events unfolding now.

Jonathan Cahn brings the history and future of Israel and the world into focus in his newest release, “The Dragon’s Prophecy: Israel, the Dark Resurrection, and the End of Days. The timing could not be better as we breathless wait to see how Israel’s wars with Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi will end.

Being very familiar with most of the topics of the book, it started a little slow for me - though necessary for new students - so I was concerned the book would not add much that was new. My fears were alleviated, however, with a deluge of new information and important connections that I was not aware of.

Like all of Cahn’s books, he may go a little far sometimes to make a connection, nevertheless, it is all great food for consideration. The writing of this book is better than some in the past, where the author’s style was a little too redundant for my taste. There is certainly less of the “could it be…” that began to bother me two or three books in. Still, I would not call this one a page turner. It took some effort to push through all the information. Certainly not “Harbinger”, but better in other ways.

In the end, I would read it again, and will certainly use my highlights and notes as I continue to study this topic. If you want to know more about Israel and its place in Bible Prophecy, and only have time for one book, I don’t know of any better than this one.

This book was so mixed for me, emotionally-speaking. Part of me was, "WOW!", and the other part of me was, "Really?" BUT, I finished this long enough ago that I probably need to reread it to give it a more accurate review. And I think, on the one hand, it would be worth rereading. It was a compelling read for me (despite the annoying "What if . . . .?" breadcrumbs), on the one hand, but I was still able to put it down and only read it in my spare time. It felt like it moved at a "fast pace", but that might only be because of how short the chapters are - generally 3-5 pages in length.

Why mixed? For example, in his chapter on Ebrahim Raisi (Chapter 58), on page 202 he references Ezekiel 39:2-4 as he sees it relating to Ebrahim Raisi. I am not going to say this "happened often", but this instance stood out to me and gave me bad vibes when I read it, and I still remember it just over three weeks later. Take with it what you will.

No lie, though -

I think the author does a masterful job of interweaving "ancient" history with modern times to create a new story, a new dynamic, a new way of interpreting events. Perhaps it is because I generally do not interpret events in light of the Bible that it makes me more skeptical (and also being "burned" by the various "prophetic books" of the late 80s and early 90s) (it's funny how I feel the need to justify or explain my views at times, hahahah!), but this part of the book was fascinating for me . I also thought it was interesting how he tied in the group of nations involved in the October 7 attack.

He loves his dates, calendars, and seeing patterns that may or may not exist. I sometimes feel he gives too much credit to the enemy and not enough credit to Yahweh (as it feels like he is saying that certain things could only happen on certain dates at certain times in "the modern era" in order for some future event to occur, and this somehow fulfills Biblical prophecy, and if those events in the past had not occurred, then the current event or events could not have occurred. But then it comes across as interpreting events that have happened in such a way as to fit a narrative or view of which one is a proponent or supporter). At the same time, because of the "formula he uses", certain things do have to have had happened on certain dates at certain times for the foundation of some future event to be set up that that future event might occur. It is so weird - part of me feels that he stretches at times to make connections, no matter how tenuous, and other times I feel like he is spot-on with how he sees (or interprets) something (granted, none of which come to mind at this time, sadly, hahahah!). The thing is, though, where I am not convinced, my sister-in-law is 100% convinced of Yahweh truly moving as the author describes, so perhaps I do not have enough faith (or have too much "head knowledge" that it is getting in the way of my faith).

Despite all the enemy of Yahweh's people has thrown at them, Yahweh's people still live and exist because Yahweh lives, exists, and His plans cannot be thwarted.

The best parts of his books are when he turns his focus back to Yahweh and how magnificent and amazing Yahweh and Jesus are. I love those parts best, when he proclaims the goodness of the Lord and reminds us his readers about our final destination in Christ, that in the end, Jesus wins. He reminds us of who we are in Christ and what Christ has done for us and how worthy Yahweh is to be praised and worshipped and adored.

I would rate this between 3 and 3.5 stars, generously rounded up to 4 stars despite my frustrations with the author's writing style. It builds upon his previous books and helped me see the events in the Middle East ("events" - more like "tragedies" and how much we, the human race, need Jesus more and more every day) in a new light. I hope that Yahweh uses it in my life to transform me further and reignite the urgency I used to have regarding the spiritual state of those around me that I might be better about sharing the Gospel and expressing Jesus to those with whom I come into contact. I could see myself rereading it again, on the one hand, but maybe not. We shall see. I am glad that I read it at least this one time.

The Dragon's Prophecy: Israel, the Dark Resurrection, and the End of Days is a provocative and gripping exploration of biblical prophecy, eschatology, and modern geopolitics.

The author intertwines religious themes with contemporary events, focusing primarily on Israel's role in the end-times narrative.

The book draws heavily on Christian prophetic interpretations, particularly from the Book of Revelation, and weaves these prophecies with historical and current Middle Eastern conflicts.

One of the book's strengths is its ability to capture the reader’s attention with a sense of urgency and impending crisis. The detailed references to scripture, combined with geopolitical analysis, make for a thought-provoking read for those interested in eschatology, Christian theology, or world events relating to Israel.

However, some readers may find the book's perspective to be heavily biased towards a specific theological interpretation. The narrative can sometimes feel more like a passionate sermon than an objective analysis. This might appeal to readers who share the author's beliefs but could be off-putting for those seeking a more balanced or academic approach.

Overall, The Dragon's Prophecy is a compelling but polarizing read. It serves as both a spiritual warning and a geopolitical treatise, offering a fascinating—if narrow—view of the end times through the lens of biblical prophecy. For readers invested in these themes, it can be an insightful and engaging journey into the intersection of faith and global events.

This book is similar to the previous book I read of his from 2019 entitled "The Jubilean Mysteries Unveiled". This book is very relevant since he has the horrific attacked by Hamas and the terrorists on Israel back last October 7th, 2023. He uses scripture and prophecy to fit that event into the history of what led up to the invasion, killing and kidnapping of hostages into the description of the Dragon or Satan from the Bible. With his analysis it all makes sense, and we should not have been surprised. This is a good history on how again the nation of Israel came about and what transpired literally at the same time from the evil side of things that have led to where we are today in the Middle East and around the world. It really is common sense to me that there will always be antisemitism (which appears daily in our news) plus the Jews are not going anywhere though many will try to wipe them off the face of the earth. Cahn seems to make his point many times throughout the book, and it appears a little bit redundant to me, but I like that each of his short chapters ends with a question that leads to his next chapter throughout the book. There are plenty of notes to back up what he is saying throughout the book. I thought the connect to Hitler of what has transpired since WWII with the Arab world was something I had not considered before but again makes total sense. Are these the end days? Noone knows, not even our author, but we should be wise and not caught by surprise as the nation of Israel was on 10/7/23.

Wow. This book is not what I expected but instead was a deep dive into how the Middle East got to where they are today! Very well written and tons of cultural insights with Old Testament scriptures to back it up! I really enjoyed this book although unsettling and scary. I found myself saying wow a lot during the book. Because it was so deep I will probably need to read it a few times. It starts at the beginning of everything and I didn’t know where the author was going with the story but he continues to move to current events and ties it all together. It was amazing to see the Old Testament repeating in modern day!

I just finished listening to this book and wow—it left me stirred, challenged, and deeply moved.

Jonathan Cahn brings together Scripture, prophecy, and current events in a way that’s both eye-opening and urgent. Two things hit me hard: God’s covenant with Israel still stands, and we can’t afford to be passive believers anymore. This is a wake-up call to pray, to stand, and to be found faithful in this hour.

If you're sensing the spiritual battle intensifying—this book will speak straight to your spirit.

I will definitely read this book again. There’s so many facts and so many details that make me want to understand all the moving parts even more. I think I need to read through it one more time and really validate a lot of what he mentions, because it makes so much sense. It’s a little scary.

I think we should be like Brett and really be careful to make sure things lineup with the word of God, but there are some powerful inside that I think could help us understand what’s going on in today’s world, especially in light of Israel and Palustrine.

Never have I understood so clearly

I have been a believer all my life, but never before have I understood so clearly the part that we all must play in Gods plan for our salvation. Thank you Rabbi Cahn for explaining all of this so excellently!
Read this! It will change everything!

Another great book by Jonathan Cahn filled with so many notable facts. The link in which he is able to connect events in time is fascinating. Every time I read one of his books, I find myself diving into other books for more information in regard to events he has written about, as well as cross-referencing more scripture in the Bible. The depth of his insight is beyond amazing & I am thankful he puts it together for us to consume!

Wow! This book blew my mind. I just finished a Bible study on the book of Revelation, and many of the issues brought up in the chapters now make more sense. I recommend this book to anyone searching for more information on what's happening now in regards to Israel and what is to come.

A very thorough and easy to understand trip through the prophecies of end times found in various places throughout the Bible, pinpointing days that have corresponding events through the millennia. A hopeful book all in all, but with the overshadowing of the evil befalling Jews such as increased antisemitism when the Jews were attacked on 10/7/2023, not Hamas, Hezbollah, or any of Iran's other proxy terrorist groups. It was written coincidentally as events were unfolding and thus is very contemporary.
