What books and speeches list Jonathan Cahn's specific prophetic predictions and dates?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Jonathan Cahn publishes a string of books and delivers public speeches that frame modern events as fulfillment of biblical patterns; his best-known titles that present these prophetic linkages include The Harbinger, The Mystery of the Shemitah and The Paradigm, while multimedia projects such as The Dragon’s Prophecy extend those claims into documentary-style teachings [1] [2]. Yet reporting shows a split: some critics say his work advances concrete dated predictions about economic and political events [1], while defenders — and Cahn in some public messages reported by Charisma — explicitly caution against rigid date-setting even as they point to specific calendar correspondences [3] [4].
1. Books that present prophetic patterns and implied dates
Cahn’s mainstream books are repeatedly described as unveiling “hidden mysteries” and prophetic patterns that link biblical texts to modern national events; Monergism identifies The Harbinger, The Mystery of the Shemitah and The Paradigm as the core works in which he claims to reveal secret codes and prophetic insights tied to America’s fate [1], and Charisma’s coverage treats later books and messages (for example The Avatar and thematic works on Israel and the end times) as continuing that pattern of connecting feast days, anniversaries and historical years to prophetic meaning [5] [4].
2. Multimedia and speech projects that assert specific date linkages
Beyond print, Cahn’s Dragon’s Prophecy is packaged with an 8-DVD companion that, according to promotional text, interprets ancient mysteries as foretelling contemporary events “right down to the year and date,” specifically claiming correspondences with events such as the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack in some presentations [2] [6]. Charisma’s reportage of Cahn’s public addresses — including his “Prophecy for Washington DC” speech and other recent prophetic warnings — documents him applying biblical typology to modern political milestones and national anniversaries, often pointing to particular years as the fulfillment of patterns [7] [6].
3. Public statements and an explicit caution against setting dates
Despite the pattern-matching, Charisma also records Cahn explicitly warning against “date setting,” especially around end-times events: in coverage about the Rapture and the Feast of Trumpets he is quoted urging Christians to “be very careful about date setting” and rejecting assigning a specific day or hour [4]. That public caution complicates claims that he routinely issues hard forecasts with fixed calendar dates, even while other materials associated with him present specific year-and-date correspondences [4] [2].
4. How critics and defenders frame whether Cahn lists specific prophetic dates
Critics documented by Monergism argue Cahn’s method traffics in sensational, speculative prophecy and accuse him of prophesying economic collapse and political events that “have not come to pass” [1], while defenders like Lamb & Lion stress that the biblical definition of a false prophet requires an asserted specific-date forecast failing to occur and argue Cahn “has done no such thing” — a direct counternarrative that frames many of his claims as pattern interpretation rather than machine-like date predictions [3].
5. Direct answer and reporting limitations
Based on the provided reporting, the books and speech projects that most clearly present Jonathan Cahn’s prophetic linkages — and in some cases calendar correspondences or claimed year/date fulfillments — are The Harbinger, The Mystery of the Shemitah, The Paradigm and Dragon’s Prophecy (including its 8-DVD companion), along with a series of high-profile speeches and messages documented by Charisma (e.g., “Prophecy for Washington DC,” Hanukkah/Temple Mount addresses, and end-times lectures) that tie biblical feasts and anniversaries to current events [1] [2] [7] [6] [5]. However, the record in these sources is internally conflicted: promotional material and some teachings assert precise year-and-date correspondences [2] [6], while other published reports quote Cahn warning against setting specific dates for eschatological events [4] and defenders deny he has made concrete failed date forecasts [3]. The sources cited here do not provide a definitive, itemized list of every prediction-plus-date phrase-for-phrase; confirming such a list would require direct citations from the texts and transcripts themselves rather than summaries and commentary.
