Rabbi Johnathan Cahn's 'Spiritual Warfare' on the Temple Mount

Rabbi Johnathan Cahn and 400 other Christians were thrown off the Temple Mount in Jerusalem's Old City after marking its connection to the Bible and to the Jewish people. 

In early November, Cahn took a group of believers on a tour of the Temple Mount. During the tour, he began discussing the history of the site.

"We made our way past the Dome of the Rock to the open area just to the north of it, by the Dome of the Spirits. There, our different groups gathered together. As I spoke, one of the Muslim authorities came in back of me, listening to my words," Cahn told Charisma News. 

The New York Times bestselling author shared how the Temple once stood on the site before it was destroyed by Roman armies in 70 A.D. He then explained the connection between the Temple Mount and Eden. 

"The Muslim authority pulled me aside — as hundreds looked on, some praying," he recounted. "They told me I had committed a major transgression: I had spoken of the Temple on the Temple Mount!" 

"They said the Temple Mount is a Muslim holy site," he explained. "They deny that there was ever a Temple on the Temple Mount." 

"As I spoke, more of the Muslim authorities converged on me and told me that I and the group had to leave the site immediately," Cahn said. 

Later he was told by contacts in the Muslim community that authorities were specifically tasked with following him. 

Cahn told Charisma News that e went back to the Temple Mount to pray the following day. 

When I reached the top, I turned around to the people below, put on the tallit, the prayer shawl, and gave the blessing of God, from Numbers 6, in Hebrew and English, the blessings my ancestors would have given from that same place," he "said. 

What happened next shocked a few people. 

"Onlookers could see Muslims looking out from the windows on the Temple Mount shouting down at us in anger. As I gave the blessing, loudspeakers began blasting Islamic chants in Arabic," Cahn said. "The sense of spiritual warfare was palpable."

"The blasting of the loudspeakers didn't cause me to stop or pause in the giving of the blessing, but rather to proclaim it more strongly," he said.  "In the end, nothing stops the purposes or the blessings of God."
