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?
What does it mean to our lives now? How can we apply it?
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.
