Jonathan Cahn: ‘Altars Must Be Broken’ for Worldwide Revival to Come

Rabbi Jonathan Cahn says if there is to be worldwide revival in these end times, altars must be broken. He doesn’t mean literal altars—as there are in churches—but metaphorical altars that have infiltrated the lives of believers and non-believers alike and have transformed our culture into a den of iniquity.

It’s part of the reason why he wrote his latest and perhaps his most important book, “Return of the Gods,” which releases today, Sept. 6. In the book, he reveals that the gods of the ancient pagan world have now returned to the modern world, to the West and specifically to America. He reveals the “Dark Trinity” of these gods that are now at work transforming and paganizing American culture. The same ancient gods that reign over the ancient world now lie behind everything from the sexual revolution, abortion, woke-ism, the revival of the occult, the war on gender and the spread of the rainbow throughout our culture. Rabbi Cahn says not only do we need to know what we are dealing with concerning the “gods” or the principalities of the enemy, but we also need to realize that we, as believers, have the power to overcome them.

Rabbi Cahn says in these last days, we are no different than Moses, Elijah, the Maccabees or Jesus’ disciples, who all faced their own challenges in dealing with pagan gods in their own time. We, like those individuals and groups, can look to our Savior to destroy Satan and his army who have brought mass deception to our culture.

“We all know that we are dealing with something very biblical here,” Rabbi Cahn told Stephen Strang in a recent episode of “The Strang Report.”

“These are the last days and this is an end-times template. But we have to remember who we are. We have the power of the One True God. We must live powerfully. The power of God is the only antidote for the spirits of the gods.

“It doesn’t matter if we are in the minority or not. Look at the great people of God and how they stood against all of these things. They would not bow down. The principalities are trying to make God’s people bow down. It’s always been about that. We have to say, ‘No,’ we won’t bow down to Baal, we will not bow down to political correctness, we will not bow down to anything but the One True God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is the God above all.

“We have the power to overcome. But we have to fight. We can’t be silent. We cannot be intimidated by the gods.”

Rabbi Cahn says that in ancient times, the sign of revival was that God dealt with these pagan gods—as is evident by the stories of Moses, Elijah and the Maccabees—as that their “altars were broken.”

One of the biggest altars in our culture today, Rabbi Cahn says, is abortion. He says he doesn’t believe it’s by accident, but the day he finished “Return of the Gods,” June 24, was the same day the Supreme Court overturned the highly controversial Roe v. Wade, which had been a federal law since 1973.

“I believe that God has given us encouragement and given that to us a sign,” Rabbi Cahn says. “That’s a broken altar, and revival is about broken altars. There can be revival, but we have to deal with these things. … We are dealing with what they dealt with, it’s very biblical. What we have to remember is what is the power that drove them (the pagan gods) out. We have that power.”

Rabbi Cahn says individual believers must do their part and rid themselves of anything that could be blocking the power of God in their own lives.

“If there is anything in your life that is linked to this (pagan gods), whether it’s pornography, whether it’s abortion or whether it’s a million other things, get it out of your life,” Rabbi Cahn says. “Do that you so you be a vessel of the power of the Living God. Then you can rise up in power and there can be revival. …

“We are not supposed to be sitting around on the defense and be OK with being quiet. That’s exactly what the principalities want. They want to shut up the gospel. It was the gospel that cast them out (in biblical times). They have a target on the gospel and a target on believers. But we cannot be intimidated and we cannot bow down.” {eoa}
