How then shall we live: an interview with Jonathan Cahn about The Oracle
End Times teacher Jonathan Cahn speaks with PneumaReview.com about his life and ministry and his newly released book, The Oracle: The Jubilean Mysteries Unveiled.
PneumaReview.com: Please tell us about your story. Where do you come from? What has your spiritual journey looked like? What has God called you to be doing in this season of life?
Jonathan Cahn: I’m Jewish, was raised in the synagogue. I became an atheist at the age of 8, when I was 12, I started seeking the truth. I picked up a book on biblical end-time prophecy and it changed by worldview. But I only received the Lord and began following him at the age of 20 after I was hit by a locomotive train.
He’s called me to teach the word of God, proclaim His prophetic word to our generation, write books, lead a congregation, lead an outreach ministry of compassion to the world, and more.
PneumaReview.com: You have been teaching and writing about End Times for many years. Please tell us why you came to see the importance of this topic and your own growth in understanding what God has planned.
Jonathan Cahn: It was end-time prophecy that led me to the Lord. And as we live in the end-times we must be aware of it, the signs, the urgency, and the calling. As for growth, I can only say that revelations were given me concerning America and the world that I wrote down in the books – The Harbinger and The Paradigm.
PneumaReview.com: Preaching about Last Days always seems to draw a crowd, but what can church leaders do today to speak on this topic in ways that lift up God’s truth and not tickle ears?
PneumaReview.com: Why did you choose to write The Oracle as a dialog? Could you explain who is having this conversation and why?
Jonathan Cahn: The Oracle is overwhelmingly non-fiction overflowing with connections, mysteries, revelations, facts, and reality. As with The Harbinger, the story (in this case of a man called ‘the Oracle’ on a mountaintop, who reveals the mysteries of God) through seven doors of revelation – is only the delivery system. It makes it easier to receive and takes the reader on an adventure.
PneumaReview.com: As you sift through the tremendous amount of material needed to write a book like The Oracle, how do you discern what is useful? How do you protect yourself from chasing distracting or even damaging research tracks?
Jonathan Cahn: I had about 3000 pages of notes, revelations, research, etc. I obviously couldn’t put that all in a book that’s around 300 pages. I simply had to decide which mysteries, which facts, which revelations were most crucial, central, and right for the book. I ended up making an 8 DVD Album – The Oracle Uncensored – to contain some of the mysteries I couldn’t put in the book.
PneumaReview.com: What do you want readers to take away from your latest book?
Jonathan Cahn: God is amazing. God is awesome. God is in control of every event – in the world and in our lives. God is faithful – When He makes a promise, He will fulfill it – and His Word will come true. We are living in the end times. The return of the Jewish people to Israel is key to all that. And the people of God must live now as witnesses of faith that is radical, revolutionary, and world-changing. And lastly, God is Mind-Blowing!
