What Does the Dragon on the Empire State Building Mean Prophetically?

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,040
Today, I woke up to a news story that a dragon had descended on the New York City and was

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,740
on top of the Empire State Building.

3
00:00:08,740 --> 00:00:13,560
There is a 270-foot inflatable dragon.

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:19,440
It had something to do with a new season of HBO's House of the Dragon.

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,840
Now it's a program I haven't seen, but it's a prequel to Game of Thrones.

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:33,000
For many, many people, alarm bells are starting to go off about what are the spiritual ramifications

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,840
and how does this lead in to maybe being a sign that God is giving us regarding Jonathan

8
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:47,200
Cahn's new book called The Dragon's Prophecy, which is about the end of time.

9
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,800
It's coming out the day after Labor Day.

10
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,800
Then we get this sign, a dragon at the top of the Empire State Building.

11
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,440
What does that mean?

12
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,080
My friend Todd Coconado sent out a Facebook post.

13
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,200
We picked it up for Charisma News.

14
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,840
By the way, if you don't get Charisma News on a regular basis, you need to because we

15
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,920
cover the news from a spiritual perspective.

16
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,960
So here's the deal.

17
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:13,400
It's a movie promotion.

18
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,080
There's all kinds of promotions that are done on the Empire State Building from time to

19
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,080
time.

20
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,240
It gets everybody's attention.

21
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,760
People like me are talking about it because of it.

22
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,800
But you know what?

23
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:32,360
This is more than just a new season on an HBO program that's coming up.

24
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,160
There's something spiritual about it.

25
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:42,800
The first thing I did was I texted it to Rabbi Jonathan Cahn because I've just finished reading

26
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,280
his book, The Dragon's Prophecy.

27
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,680
As the publisher, I'm one of the first people to get to read it, to give feedback.

28
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,280
I always love it.

29
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,160
This book, I believe, is one of his strongest books.

30
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,600
But he said to me, is this a sign?

31
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,000
And so it got my attention.

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,160
I actually decided that I was going to do a podcast about it because I believe that

33
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,120
the Lord does give us signs.

34
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,920
When he wrote this book, he had no idea.

35
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:11,920
In fact, he doesn't really follow TV very much.

36
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:14,000
He barely knew about this TV series.

37
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,240
But it is interesting that when something happens in New York City, there seems to be

38
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,000
spiritual significance.

39
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,680
And more and more, New York City is becoming pagan.

40
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:33,160
In fact, they built a couple of years ago a reproduction of the Temple of Baal.

41
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:39,720
There was a promotion with the face of a Hindu god that was kind of beamed on the Empire

42
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,720
State Building.

43
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,480
It was really kind of spooky.

44
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,960
I don't know if you saw anything in the news about it at all.

45
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:52,600
And here in this new season, they are supposedly honoring and pledging allegiance to a fictional

46
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,760
king over dragons.

47
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:02,760
And it was just after the Empire State Building pledged its allegiance to this king that Vegard

48
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,600
descended in the heart of New York City and claimed the mast of the world's most famous

49
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,400
building as her perch.

50
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:16,240
And this was a statement by Empire State Realty Trust Chairman and CEO Tony Malkin in a public

51
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,240
statement.

52
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,240
They're proud of it.

53
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,880
But is there something spiritual about it?

54
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:26,560
Because in the book of Revelation, the dragon is a symbol of Satan.

55
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,120
And this is what Jonathan Cahn deals with in the dragon's prophecy.

56
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:37,680
In fact, in just a few minutes, I'm going to play the trailer and a little bit of the

57
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:43,240
reveal that Jonathan Cahn did about the dragon's prophecy.

58
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:48,120
And I want to tee it up a little bit and just let you know that he goes into great depth

59
00:03:48,120 --> 00:04:00,140
about the Israel Hamas war and about the ancient rivalry between the Jewish people, the Israelites,

60
00:04:00,140 --> 00:04:02,040
and the Philistines.

61
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:08,040
And Palestinian is kind of a corruption of the word Philistine in the way that we would

62
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,600
say, Indian is a corruption of the word Indian.

63
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,840
Words kind of morph over time.

64
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,760
But this is an ancient rivalry that goes back to Samson.

65
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,480
He fought the Philistines.

66
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,420
Goliath was a Philistine.

67
00:04:25,420 --> 00:04:27,360
Remember the story of David and Goliath?

68
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,740
It's an ancient rivalry, and here it is exploded on the world scene.

69
00:04:32,740 --> 00:04:38,400
And he says that it's actually tied in to the dragon in the book of prophecy.

70
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:44,040
Never before has Jonathan Cahn dealt with end time prophecy like it has.

71
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:50,360
But you know, so much is happening that it's almost like we're speeding toward the end

72
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,360
of time.

73
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:57,480
I believe that Jonathan Cahn is a prophet in our day, not in a way of predicting who's

74
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,960
going to win the Super Bowl or some of the silliness that some prophets do.

75
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,320
Not many, but a few.

76
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,560
You understand what I'm saying.

77
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,980
I'm being a little bit tongue in cheek.

78
00:05:07,980 --> 00:05:12,880
Or even predicting the outcome of elections or other things that people seriously want

79
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:13,880
to know.

80
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:19,400
But he's prophetic in the way that an Old Testament prophet is prophetic of speaking

81
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:25,140
the word of the Lord and then helping us to understand what God is saying in the scripture.

82
00:05:25,140 --> 00:05:33,100
You know, he in his book, he even predicts down to the month and the day of when the

83
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:36,560
Israel Hamas war would begin.

84
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,000
The month and the day.

85
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,420
The night before October 7th, which was a Saturday.

86
00:05:44,420 --> 00:05:53,200
So the night before is October 6th, the day the Shabbat begins on Friday evening.

87
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,560
He had a Shabbat service at his congregation in Wayne, New Jersey.

88
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,860
New Jersey is called Beth Israel.

89
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:07,600
And he talks about how it was a Jubilee 50 years to the day from the Yom Kippur war.

90
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,320
And he predicted that something would happen.

91
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:18,680
And then the next morning, of course, the rockets started being shot off from Gaza.

92
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:25,260
And they say that more Jews were killed in that one day, that one day than any single

93
00:06:25,260 --> 00:06:28,640
day since the Holocaust.

94
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:37,980
Now, I believe that the dragon is symbolic and it's a representation of the adversary

95
00:06:37,980 --> 00:06:39,600
and the deceiver.

96
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:47,840
And I believe that it's a sign that in the nation's greatest city, New York City is the

97
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,680
financial district.

98
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,920
It's the center of so many things in media and culture.

99
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:59,560
Certainly the news media and even the publishing industry is kind of headquartered there.

100
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,320
And so what happens in New York City, I believe, is very, very significant.

101
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,600
Now, I don't want to give away too much of the book.

102
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:12,560
In fact, what I want to do is let Jonathan Cahn share, and I'm going to share part of

103
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,280
the reveal that he did.

104
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,700
And also, you need to subscribe to his channel if you don't.

105
00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:22,000
He has over a million followers, if you can believe that.

106
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,640
And some of the things he put on his channel are inspired by things in the book.

107
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,040
They're not excerpts from the book, but I could just tell you, having read it, that

108
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,280
some of the things he says, particularly about what's going on in the Middle East, are things

109
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,680
that he touches on.

110
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,320
And it has gotten a response.

111
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,320
I'm his publisher, and we have never...

112
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:49,600
Listen, he has eight New York Times bestsellers in a row, no exceptions.

113
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,680
But this has gotten a bigger response than anything.

114
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,760
He has touched on something that is very, very significant.

115
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,340
Part of it is these videos that he's doing.

116
00:08:00,340 --> 00:08:08,120
Just the other day, he did a video, and we got over 800 pre-orders in a single day.

117
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:17,840
The book I checked on Amazon was number 71 of all books sold on Amazon, which is at least

118
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:23,480
4 million, because one time I checked on a book that was number 4 million something,

119
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,700
so I know there's at least that many.

120
00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:29,360
Number 71, and the book's not out until the day after Labor Day.

121
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,240
Of course, you can order it, and then when that day rolls around, they'll send it out

122
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,880
to you, and people are doing that.

123
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,120
They can wait until it comes out in the bookstores.

124
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:44,560
I hope that after you watch the reveal and the trailer that you'll want to get the book

125
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:45,560
to.

126
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:48,360
So, Jonathan Cahn can describe it a lot better than I can.

127
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,160
So here is the reveal.

128
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:56,220
You can go on YouTube and see the same thing, but I edited it down a little bit for time,

129
00:08:56,220 --> 00:08:58,180
because I wanted you to be able to see it.

130
00:08:58,180 --> 00:09:02,000
And then the fancy trailer, we do a trailer like this for all of his books.

131
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:08,320
There's always a special website, and it's graphic, and it shows some of the highlights

132
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,040
of the book to try to get people's interest.

133
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,460
Jonathan Cahn, I believe, is one of the great writers of our day.

134
00:09:15,460 --> 00:09:16,880
He has such a following.

135
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:22,680
He's brilliant in so many ways, but mostly he's prophetic in that he sees things, and

136
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:29,300
he sees plans and purposes of what God is doing in the Scriptures and how these ancient

137
00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:33,420
Scriptures and ancient mysteries apply to our day.

138
00:09:33,420 --> 00:09:41,000
It helps us to understand what's happening in 2024 as we're speeding towards something.

139
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,360
But I'll tell you, because I've read the book, that he actually ends on a hopeful note.

140
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,480
And so I hope that you'll want the book.

141
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:55,520
By the way, stay tuned, and I will end with a special message right at the end of this

142
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:56,520
podcast.

143
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:01,600
More than any book I've ever written, The Dragon's Prophecy is going to open up the

144
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:07,080
mystery of the end times, end time prophecy, the future as I have never done before, and

145
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,320
how to overcome and prevail in the end of days.

146
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,520
It's going to be explosive, and it could cause a lot of controversy.

147
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,180
There has never been so much warfare over a book.

148
00:10:17,180 --> 00:10:19,160
Every book I've written has had warfare.

149
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,200
And this one happened as I was writing it.

150
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,960
Please keep me in prayer, my family, the ministry, everything else.

151
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,920
And especially pray that God powerfully uses the book.

152
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,960
Apparently, the enemy is not happy at all with The Dragon's Prophecy, which is what

153
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:35,960
we'd expect.

154
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:36,960
This is a great sign.

155
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,360
It's a sign that I believe it's going to be real powerful, because the enemy doesn't

156
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,360
waste his energy.

157
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,840
The more he attacks, the more powerful it's going to be.

158
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,560
And we've never seen anything like it.

159
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:48,780
But something also we've never seen.

160
00:10:48,780 --> 00:10:54,920
You guys, when I announced this book on this channel a little while back, your response

161
00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:02,040
to preorder it was so great that it actually made The Dragon's Prophecy a bestseller before

162
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,760
it was even finished, before it technically existed.

163
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:06,760
Not just that.

164
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:12,440
Your response to preorder it made it one of the top 20 bestselling books on planet Earth.

165
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,360
And we've never seen anything like this.

166
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,920
So we believe God is going to use this powerfully.

167

A dangerous force from ancient times that is now operating in the world and determining

178
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:09,680
the course of world events?

179
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:15,040

180
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,300
year and even the exact date?

keys to victory in light of what's coming and how to overcome the dragon.
