On a Sunday morning at Beth Israel Worship Center in Wayne, N.J., a bearded pastor named Jonathan Cahn stood on an elevated platform, gazing over a full house. Stage lights shifted from blue to white as the backing band played a drifting melody. Two men hoisted curled rams’ horns and let out long blasts.
“Some of you have been saying you want to live in biblical times,” Mr. Cahn said, pacing behind a lectern. Then he spread his hands wide. “Well, you are.”
Sitting at the end of a sleepy drive an hour from Manhattan, Beth Israel may look like any common suburban church. But the center has a highly unusual draw. Every weekend, some 1,000 congregants gather for the idiosyncratic teachings of the church’s celebrity pastor, an entrepreneurial doomsday prophet who claims that President Trump’s rise to power was foretold in the Bible.
Mr. Cahn is tapping into a belief more popular than may appear.

Just a little afternoon humor on a day of heavy handed news.
Of course many speculated that BJ Clinton or Obama were the anti-Christ, or that maybe they were just really good friends with the anti-Christ.
Boy, the demoKKKrats are sure trying to put us on a fast track to the end times.
I have seen a video from 2007 where a pastor did actually predict that Trump would be a trumpet and that he would not be a praying man before he went into the Whitehouse but soon would become one while in power. It wasnt this guy!
I watched a YouTube video involving Mr. Cahn in which Super Bowl LIII was God’s sign of the end of the age was nigh. The reign of the Patriots has passed 17 years, beginning and ending with the destruction of goats (Rams) and that God’s protection of America since 9-11 (symbolized by the Patriots) would end after 17 years.
In the video, it says the end times will begin when Syria is nuked in May.
I don’t know if I buy in to all of this but he was using Biblical references in Old and New Testament to explain this revelation
Everything is possible with God and I am no expert on end time prophecies but I found the dot-connecting quite amazing.
I reads the NY Slimes’ article, and I can’t even find the dots, let alone connect any of them. lol.
bump for later reading

I haven’t been to a place where I could get internet since posting this article. So here’s my take:
I have been to a conference where he spoke, and he’s quite compelling. I really did not find him to be as he is portrayed in this NY Times article at all. He’s much more humble and non-Hollywood. I’ve read a few of his books and he doesn’t say “this will happen”. He mostly says, “This is the pattern of what has happened in the past, you be the judge.”
“Doomsday prophet” — thus, the minister is sullied and dismissed in the headline itself. Clever, dishonest. Shame.
