Jonathan Cahn: The Jewish people they pray for Messiah to come.
0:16
Jonathan Cahn: The Messiah is only gonna come to save his people.
0:20
Jonathan Cahn: So he will come in the day when Israel needs to be saved.
0:28
Jonathan Cahn: And they will fall.
0:30
Jonathan Cahn: This is Messiah speaking.
0:31
Jonathan Cahn: What's gonna happen?
0:32
Jonathan Cahn: They will fall by the edge of the sword and will be led captive into all the nations.
0:37
Jonathan Cahn: And Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles or nations until the time of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
0:46
Jonathan Cahn: 58 years ago today.
0:49
Jonathan Cahn: Events in the Middle East were setting the world on fire, which has already happened in every one of our lifetimes that has happened, where the whole world was focusing on what's happening in the Middle East, particularly leading to Israel.
1:02
Jonathan Cahn: And it would all lead to the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, the restoration of Jerusalem.
1:07
Jonathan Cahn: Without that, the end cannot come.
1:09
Jonathan Cahn: The end times cannot be fulfilled.
1:11
Jonathan Cahn: Prophecy, Messiah cannot come.
1:14
Jonathan Cahn: Jerusalem, the holy city.
1:16
Jonathan Cahn: Tonight I want to open up the realm of Jerusalem of end time prophecy.
1:21
Jonathan Cahn: Jerusalem and linking to the book of Revelation and the end of the age.
1:25
Jonathan Cahn: Of Jerusalem, it is written in Psalm 87: the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
1:33
Jonathan Cahn: That's Jerusalem.
1:34
Jonathan Cahn: Psalm 132, it says, For the Lord has chosen Zion.
1:37
Jonathan Cahn: Zion is Jerusalem.
1:38
Jonathan Cahn: It became the name of the whole land, but it's first Jerusalem, Mount Zion.
1:43
Jonathan Cahn: Zion, he chose it, he desired it for his dwelling place.
1:46
Jonathan Cahn: This is my resting place forever.
1:48
Jonathan Cahn: Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
1:52
Jonathan Cahn: So it was mentioned early on in the Bible by name when he said to Moses, the place where I will put my name, that's Jerusalem.
2:01
Jonathan Cahn: It is the holy city, the place of God's dwelling, called the Beit Mikdash or the Holy House, the temple.
2:09
Jonathan Cahn: Jerusalem, if you're born again, you were born again wherever you received the Lord, but you're also born again in Jerusalem because that's where you were saved.
2:16
Jonathan Cahn: You were saved there, and then when you received it, resurrection, Jerusalem.
2:20
Jonathan Cahn: Holy Spirit, Pentecost, Jerusalem.
2:23
Jonathan Cahn: Jerusalem is mentioned more than any other city in scripture over 800 times in the Bible.
2:28
Jonathan Cahn: In the New Testament, 142 times.
2:31
Jonathan Cahn: In the Hebrew scriptures, for some reason, 666, whatever that is.
2:36
Jonathan Cahn: Half of the books of the New Testament contain Jerusalem in it.
2:39
Jonathan Cahn: Two-thirds of the Hebrew scriptures contain Jerusalem, Zion.
2:44
Jonathan Cahn: It's called the city of God.
2:46
Jonathan Cahn: The city they're called Salem, Shalem.
2:49
Jonathan Cahn: It's called Ariel or the Lion.
2:51
Jonathan Cahn: It's about lions.
2:52
Jonathan Cahn: What about prophecy?
2:53
Jonathan Cahn: Jerusalem is the physical geographical key to end time prophecy.
2:59
Jonathan Cahn: And that's what we're going to open up tonight.
3:01
Jonathan Cahn: Luke 21, 24, he said, they will fall by the edge of the sword.
3:05
Jonathan Cahn: And the Lord is talking about the Jewish people.
3:07
Jonathan Cahn: They'll be led captive into all the nations.
3:09
Jonathan Cahn: And Jerusalem, when they're captive in the nations, Jerusalem will be trampled down underfoot until the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled.
3:18
Jonathan Cahn: All right, what does that mean?
3:19
Jonathan Cahn: What is the time of the Gentiles?
3:21
Jonathan Cahn: It's undoubtedly speaking of the days or the ages when the Gentile world powers rule the world, which is basically much or pretty much all of history so far.
3:32
Jonathan Cahn: So here is the age of the Gentiles, and it's an amazing thing because it's saying that the age of the Gentiles or the nations is all linked to a single city, Jerusalem.
3:42
Jonathan Cahn: On Jerusalem hangs the entire age, the age of the Gentiles and the age of the kingdom.
3:48
Jonathan Cahn: Now Messiah is giving a prophecy of the destruction of Jerusalem and the leading captive of the Jewish people into all nations.
3:54
Jonathan Cahn: That happened dramatically in 70 AD.
3:57
Jonathan Cahn: When the armies of Rome came in and destroyed Jerusalem and Israel and took the Jewish people captive into the nations, beginning the most massive dispersion of the Jewish people.
4:08
Jonathan Cahn: They had already been dispersed, but this was the most massive up to this day.
4:12
Jonathan Cahn: That's why Jewish people are in America, because of what happened.
4:15
Jonathan Cahn: Rome came in and trampled Jerusalem underfoot.
4:18
Jonathan Cahn: And as far as the Jewish people were concerned, their holy city, Jerusalem, was trampled underfoot by one power of the nations after the next, after the next, after the next, for nearly 2,000 years.
4:30
Jonathan Cahn: First the Romans, then the Eastern Romans called Byzantines, then the Muslim Arabs, then the Muslim Turks, until the First World War, when the British entered the land under General Alan B.
4:43
Jonathan Cahn: A Christian, and came into the land and the Turks fled.
4:48
Jonathan Cahn: And so Jerusalem was still trampled down by the nations up until what happened 58 years ago.
4:57
Jonathan Cahn: June 7th, 1967.
5:00
Jonathan Cahn: Messiah himself prophesied, Jerusalem was set free, given to Israel, no longer trampled underfoot.
5:08
Jonathan Cahn: Now there are those who see that as the ending of the times of the Gentiles.
5:12
Jonathan Cahn: Jerusalem will be trampled down until that time is over.
5:17
Jonathan Cahn: Well, it can't ultimately be so, since according to end time prophecy, Jerusalem is going to be trampled down at least one more time, as by the Antichrist.
5:27
Jonathan Cahn: Jerusalem is the capital, it's the holy city.
5:31
Jonathan Cahn: Israel is more connected to that city than any nation is connected to any city.
5:36
Jonathan Cahn: And yet the world refuses, it's the only capital the world refuses to recognize.
5:42
Jonathan Cahn: They are prophesied to come back to Zion.
5:45
Jonathan Cahn: Zion, again, land of Israel, but also is first Jerusalem.
5:48
Jonathan Cahn: In the prophecies of Messiah himself concerning the end of the age, he speaks of Jewish disciples being in Jerusalem.
5:56
Jonathan Cahn: He gives them advice.
5:57
Jonathan Cahn: When you hear this, when you see this, flee here, pray it's not on the Sabbath.
6:01
Jonathan Cahn: The Jewish people, according to Bible prophecy, have to be in Jerusalem before Messiah can come or come again.
6:09
Jonathan Cahn: So that happened June 7th.
6:12
Jonathan Cahn: So this is talking about redemption.
6:15
Jonathan Cahn: He's going to come to die for sins in Jerusalem.
6:17
Jonathan Cahn: The focus on Jerusalem, but he's going to die for our sins there, make an end of sin.
6:22
Jonathan Cahn: Then it talks about prophecy, all prophecy to be fulfilled.
6:25
Jonathan Cahn: Focus on Jerusalem.
6:26
Jonathan Cahn: Salvation came from Jerusalem.
6:29
Jonathan Cahn: It will go back to Jerusalem.
6:31
Jonathan Cahn: Again, the death, the resurrection, the Holy Spirit, all came from Jerusalem to your life.
6:37
Jonathan Cahn: You are linked to Jerusalem.
6:39
Jonathan Cahn: And that brings us to the next verse.
6:42
Jonathan Cahn: Verse 27, Daniel.
6:44
Jonathan Cahn: He shall confirm the covenant with many for one seven, one week, one seven.
6:49
Jonathan Cahn: In the midst of that seven, seven years, he will cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease.
6:55
Jonathan Cahn: And for the overspreading of abominations, he shall make it desolate until the consummation that determines, he shall pour out on desolation.
7:03
Jonathan Cahn: So it's talking about he is the one who was just mentioned before.
7:05
Jonathan Cahn: It said, the people of the prince who will come will destroy the city.
7:09
Jonathan Cahn: Well, who destroyed the city?
7:10
Jonathan Cahn: The Romans.
7:11
Jonathan Cahn: So the people of the prince who will come, the prince who will come will in some way be Roman.
7:16
Jonathan Cahn: It's talking about the Antichrist.
7:17
Jonathan Cahn: First clear mention of the Antichrist.
7:19
Jonathan Cahn: It says, He will make now a covenant with Israel in the midst of that seven, that last missing seven or week of Daniel.
7:29
Jonathan Cahn: That's seven years.
7:30
Jonathan Cahn: That is therefore the tribulation.
7:32
Jonathan Cahn: That's one that you filled up to Jesus.
7:35
Jonathan Cahn: Then there's one missing week.
7:36
Jonathan Cahn: That's the tribulation.
7:37
Jonathan Cahn: That's the book of Revelation.
7:39
Jonathan Cahn: And then it says, in the midst of that seven, divide seven by half, and you get three and a half years.
7:46
Jonathan Cahn: That goes throughout the book of Revelation.
7:48
Jonathan Cahn: The Antichrist will stop the sacrifice of the temple.
7:52
Jonathan Cahn: That means there will be a temple, and he will desecrate it.
7:56
Jonathan Cahn: He will, it says abomination, desolation.
7:59
Jonathan Cahn: The whole prophecy of the Antichrist and revelation is centered on Jerusalem.
8:04
Jonathan Cahn: What he's going to do in Jerusalem, and you have to have Jewish people there, or this doesn't work.
8:09
Jonathan Cahn: There's going to be a temple in Jerusalem.
8:11
Jonathan Cahn: It's yet to come.
8:12
Jonathan Cahn: The holy city will be trampled down.
8:14
Jonathan Cahn: Jerusalem, holy city.
8:16
Jonathan Cahn: Again, that goes with what Messiah said.
8:18
Jonathan Cahn: It will be trampled down until the end.
8:21
Jonathan Cahn: 42 months, three and a half years.
8:23
Jonathan Cahn: It says, During that time period, you will have two witnesses.
8:26
Jonathan Cahn: Where?
8:27
Jonathan Cahn: In Jerusalem.
8:28
Jonathan Cahn: And they will prophesy until the end.
8:30
Jonathan Cahn: And it says their bodies will be killed by the Antichrist.
8:33
Jonathan Cahn: Their bodies will lie in the great city.
8:35
Jonathan Cahn: Which one?
8:35
Jonathan Cahn: That is, it says where the Lord was crucified.
8:37
Jonathan Cahn: Jerusalem.
8:38
Jonathan Cahn: Jerusalem is at the center of end time prophecy.
8:42
Jonathan Cahn: And in order again for this to happen, remember what Messiah said?
8:46
Jonathan Cahn: When you see what Daniel spoke about, the abomination, desolation, talking about the desolation of the temple.
8:52
Jonathan Cahn: Desecration.
8:53
Jonathan Cahn: Where's the temple?
8:54
Jonathan Cahn: Jerusalem.
8:56
Jonathan Cahn: Paul said the man of sin will be revealed.
8:58
Jonathan Cahn: And what will he do?
8:59
Jonathan Cahn: It says he will declare himself God in the temple or holy place of God.
9:03
Jonathan Cahn: Jerusalem.
9:04
Jonathan Cahn: You gotta have Jerusalem.
9:06
Jonathan Cahn: And in Jerusalem, you gotta have a temple.
9:08
Jonathan Cahn: You can't, you're not gonna have a temple unless you have Jewish people who are back in Jerusalem to rebuild the temple.
9:14
Jonathan Cahn: So all of end time prophecy is hanging on Jerusalem and the Jewish people returning there again, June 7th, this weekend, back.
9:24
Jonathan Cahn: The Antichrist is linked to that.
9:27
Jonathan Cahn: The persecution, the abomination, the two witnesses, the tribulation, linked to that date.
9:33
Jonathan Cahn: And that brings us to the center of the battle, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
9:39
Jonathan Cahn: Because the Temple Mount is central in end time prophecy.
9:42
Jonathan Cahn: The enemy wars over that mount.
9:44
Jonathan Cahn: Because he knows that all the purposes are going to focus on that mount.
9:48
Jonathan Cahn: The temple, Messiah is going to reign from there.
9:51
Jonathan Cahn: He's finished when that happens.
9:53
Jonathan Cahn: That's why, even to this day, there's a war over that Temple Mount.
9:56
Jonathan Cahn: That's why the Temple Mount right now is in the hands of Israel's enemies, even though Israel has sovereignty, they still allowed it.
10:04
Jonathan Cahn: And that's why Jewish people are not allowed to this day to observe anything of God on that mount.
10:10
Jonathan Cahn: That's where all everything was to be observed.
10:12
Jonathan Cahn: They're not allowed to.
10:14
Jonathan Cahn: That's why even the rumor that Jewish people may go up there to pray or observe something of God can send the whole region, the land, and the world into an uproar, even a world war.
10:23
Jonathan Cahn: Why?
10:24
Jonathan Cahn: Because the enemy is going to go crazy to stop anything happening on that mount that has to do with God, because that's his end.
10:32
Jonathan Cahn: Next key of end time prophecy with Jerusalem.
10:34
Jonathan Cahn: If you have your Bible, Zechariah 12.
10:37
Jonathan Cahn: Very important.
10:38
Jonathan Cahn: Verse 1: the burden of the Lord, the word of the Lord for Israel, thus says the Lord, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, forms the spirit of man inside of him.
10:48
Jonathan Cahn: Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling to all the nations round about.
10:55
Jonathan Cahn: And when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem, I will make it a cup of trembling.
11:01
Jonathan Cahn: In that day I will make Jerusalem an immovable stone, a burdensome stone for all the nations, and all who try to move it, all who burden themselves with it, will be cut, will be injured, they will injure themselves.
11:15
Jonathan Cahn: Even though all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.
11:20
Jonathan Cahn: What is it saying?
11:22
Jonathan Cahn: In the last days, all the nations, well, the Bible says, all the nations will be focused on Jerusalem.
11:30
Jonathan Cahn: Israel, but Jerusalem.
11:32
Jonathan Cahn: The nations will try to move Jerusalem.
11:37
Jonathan Cahn: And those who do so try will be injured by it.
11:41
Jonathan Cahn: Again, Jerusalem, center of end time prophecy.
11:46
Jonathan Cahn: The whole world is going to focus on it.
11:49
Jonathan Cahn: But the Bible says in the last days, the whole world's going to be focused on Jerusalem.
11:53
Jonathan Cahn: And the thing is, as long as the Jewish people weren't there, the world pretty much didn't care about it for most of the time.
11:59
Jonathan Cahn: As soon as the Jewish people started coming back to it, the world all of a sudden started going crazy about Jerusalem.
12:07
Jonathan Cahn: Why?
12:07
Jonathan Cahn: Because it's the enemy behind it.
12:09
Jonathan Cahn: The enemy knows.
12:10
Jonathan Cahn: The enemy knows that when the Jewish people return to Jerusalem, it means somebody else is also going to return to Jerusalem.
12:17
Jonathan Cahn: That is why.
12:21
Jonathan Cahn: How do you move a city?
12:22
Jonathan Cahn: You can't move a city.
12:23
Jonathan Cahn: What it means is you change the borders, you change the sovereignty.
12:26
Jonathan Cahn: We say this is not yours anymore.
12:28
Jonathan Cahn: And that's exactly what this present world is trying to do.
12:33
Jonathan Cahn: This is total the world falling in line with biblical prophecy.
12:39
Jonathan Cahn: Less than a year ago, the United Nations, speaking of the nations, the Bible speaks about it, passed a resolution declaring that much of the land that Israel rests on is illegal and specifically cited Jerusalem.
12:55
Jonathan Cahn: So the United Nations says Israel has no right to Jerusalem.
13:00
Jonathan Cahn: It's illegal.
13:01
Jonathan Cahn: And they passed this resolution declaring Jerusalem illegal and other places, but the vote was something like 124 nations for it.
13:10
Jonathan Cahn: And how many said no?
13:12
Jonathan Cahn: 14.
13:13
Jonathan Cahn: 124 verses 14.
13:15
Jonathan Cahn: The Bible says the nations of the world.
13:17
Jonathan Cahn: The UN then was giving Israel 12 months to get out of Jerusalem.
13:23
Jonathan Cahn: The Bible says the nations rage and the Lord laughs.
13:26
Jonathan Cahn: The UN.
13:28
Jonathan Cahn: It's amazing because the Bible says those nations that try to move Jerusalem are going to injure themselves.
13:35
Jonathan Cahn: The UN in the last period of time has issued more resolutions condemning little tiny Israel more than any other nation in the world.
13:45
Jonathan Cahn: It has passed more resolutions condemning Israel than all the nations on planet earth combined, times two.
13:51
Jonathan Cahn: It makes no sense.
13:53
Jonathan Cahn: Except end time prophecy says it's going to happen.
13:56
Jonathan Cahn: And because there's a spiritual war there, and that is what began.
14:06
Jonathan Cahn: But the prophecy goes further than that.
14:08
Jonathan Cahn: It's not only that the nations of the world are going to seek to move Jerusalem, but they're going to come against Jerusalem, Israel, they'll converge to destroy it.
14:17
Jonathan Cahn: The whole world against Israel, the whole world against Jerusalem.
14:22
Jonathan Cahn: Why?
14:23
Jonathan Cahn: Because Jerusalem is the city of God.
14:25
Jonathan Cahn: It doesn't make any sense any other way.
14:28
Jonathan Cahn: And in America, for the first time across our college campuses, it was the young who were leading this, which says that if they don't get saved or there's not revival, that's the future.
14:40
Jonathan Cahn: Even of America, it says the nations will come against Israel.
14:44
Jonathan Cahn: But more than that will happen.
14:47
Jonathan Cahn: Because the Jewish people, they pray for Messiah to come.
14:50
Jonathan Cahn: But Messiah is only going to come to save his people.
14:55
Jonathan Cahn: So he will come in the day when Israel needs to be saved and the world needs to be saved.
15:01
Jonathan Cahn: He came the first time to save us from sin.
15:03
Jonathan Cahn: That could be any time.
15:04
Jonathan Cahn: But he's coming the second time to save from destruction.
15:07
Jonathan Cahn: And so he will come in that day, but they're just going to be surprised who it turns out to be.
15:13
Jonathan Cahn: It's going to be a big surprise when they realize it's Jesus is their long-awaited Jewish Messiah.
15:20
Jonathan Cahn: Hey, if you're enjoying this video, hit like and share it with others.
15:24
Jonathan Cahn: Little things like hitting like and sharing it will help us reach more people for the Lord.
15:29
Jonathan Cahn: Now back to the message.
15:31
Jonathan Cahn: Which brings us to the next key of the prophecy, Zechariah 12, 10.
15:36
Jonathan Cahn: And I will pour out, Lord speaking, I will pour out the house of David and the those who indwell Jerusalem the spirit of grace and supplication, so that they will look upon me, whom they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as for an only son.
15:58
Jonathan Cahn: They will weep bitterly over him like the bitter weeping of a firstborn.
16:03
Jonathan Cahn: They, what's that?
16:05
Jonathan Cahn: I will pour out my spirit on them in Jerusalem and the house of David, so that they will look upon me whom they have pierced.
16:16
Jonathan Cahn: Wow.
16:17
Jonathan Cahn: The people of Israel are gonna turn to their Messiah when they realize who their Messiah is.
16:25
Jonathan Cahn: They will look upon me whom they have pierced.
16:28
Jonathan Cahn: Who is the one talking?
16:30
Jonathan Cahn: The Lord is talking, he's already identified.
16:32
Jonathan Cahn: The Lord, Yahweh, the I am is talking.
16:36
Jonathan Cahn: And he says, Amazing, I have been pierced by them.
16:41
Jonathan Cahn: Amazing.
16:42
Jonathan Cahn: The Lord in Hebrew, Yahweh, pierced, the eternal God, creator, pierced.
16:48
Jonathan Cahn: They're mourning for the one they pierced.
16:50
Jonathan Cahn: What does that mean?
16:51
Jonathan Cahn: If you mourn for the one you pierced, it means a total change of heart.
16:57
Jonathan Cahn: So now the Jewish people, the one that they saw as an enemy, they're gonna embrace as a loved one, their family.
17:06
Jonathan Cahn: Jesus of to them, of the Gentiles, is the God where they were persecuted in his name, but they're gonna realize it's Yeshua, their own Messiah, their brother, their redeemer that they've been waiting for.
17:18
Jonathan Cahn: From the books of Moses onward, it says that in the last days, the Jewish people are gonna return to the Lord, turn to the Lord, but nothing can be so dramatic as this picture when they're gonna actually mourn for the one that they pierced.
17:33
Jonathan Cahn: Total turning, total revolutionary turning.
17:36
Jonathan Cahn: The modern messianic revival of Jewish people coming to the Lord was born out of the moving of the spirit and the gospel in the Jesus movement, particularly on the West Coast.
17:48
Jonathan Cahn: The Jesus movement was born out of what was called the summer of love.
17:53
Jonathan Cahn: And many people they started getting saved who came there.
17:56
Jonathan Cahn: Much of that was centered on San Francisco.
17:58
Jonathan Cahn: You know, the Jews for Jesus was born in San Francisco around that time.
18:03
Jonathan Cahn: It's striking because the Bible says the Jewish people will be scattered to the ends of the earth and then they will return to the Lord.
18:10
Jonathan Cahn: Interesting because where's San Francisco, California?
18:13
Jonathan Cahn: That from Jerusalem, it's the end of the earth.
18:15
Jonathan Cahn: It's you keep going, it's the farthest part you can go, west.
18:18
Jonathan Cahn: If you're scattered west, the other side goes to Russia.
18:20
Jonathan Cahn: So here from the ends of the earth, they began.
18:23
Jonathan Cahn: This movement began.
18:25
Jonathan Cahn: Jewish people, the modern messianic revival was born out of the Jesus movement.
18:29
Jonathan Cahn: When was the Jesus movement born?
18:31
Jonathan Cahn: In the late 1960s.
18:33
Jonathan Cahn: When more specifically?
18:35
Jonathan Cahn: The year 1967.
18:39
Jonathan Cahn: Same year that Jerusalem was restored.
18:43
Jonathan Cahn: So as the Jewish people returned to Jerusalem, it set in motion the return of the Jewish people to Messiah.
18:51
Jonathan Cahn: When exactly did the Jesus movement begin?
18:55
Jonathan Cahn: In June 1967, the same month.
18:59
Jonathan Cahn: First came the six-day war at the beginning of the month, then came the summer of love, which gave birth to the Jesus movement.
19:06
Jonathan Cahn: The very same year and month.
19:08
Jonathan Cahn: So the return of the Jewish people is central in the Bible end time prophecy.
19:14
Jonathan Cahn: And that may open up another realm of the times of the Gentiles.
19:18
Jonathan Cahn: It's written in Romans 11, Paul said, I don't want you to be unaware of this, brothers and sisters.
19:23
Jonathan Cahn: I don't want you to be uninformed about this mystery.
19:25
Jonathan Cahn: So you don't become conceited in your own estimation.
19:29
Jonathan Cahn: But a partial hardening has come over Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.
19:36
Jonathan Cahn: And so all Israel will be saved as it is written.
19:38
Jonathan Cahn: The Redeemer will come.
19:40
Jonathan Cahn: Beginning of the age, you had Jewish believers, Jewish apostles, Jewish disciples of the church leading their.
19:45
Jonathan Cahn: Where were they?
19:46
Jonathan Cahn: Jerusalem.
19:46
Jonathan Cahn: That's where it all started.
19:47
Jonathan Cahn: That's where it's all going to end.
19:49
Jonathan Cahn: The Jewish believers were in Jerusalem, but when Jerusalem was destroyed, the Jewish people were scattered, and the Jewish believers started disappearing from the church.
19:57
Jonathan Cahn: So now you have Jerusalem coming back, and you have Jewish people reappearing in the church, and Jew and Gentile together as one in the church.
20:06
Jonathan Cahn: And the church coming back to its roots at the same moment.
20:10
Jonathan Cahn: See if everything else is returning, then there's got to be another return.
20:14
Jonathan Cahn: Zechariah 12, continuing, says, In that day, the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
20:22
Jonathan Cahn: Verse 9, it will come to pass in that day, I will seek to destroy the nations that come against Jerusalem.
20:28
Jonathan Cahn: The final war, final showdown is going to center where?
20:32
Jonathan Cahn: On Jerusalem in the end.
20:34
