Horn’s 2019 book, “The Wormwood Prophecy” shed light on end-times prophecy, explaining the symbolism behind the apostle John’s use of the term “wormwood” in the book of Revelation. The book’s premise came from a supernatural experience, Horn told Charisma’s Stephen Strang in a 2019 podcast.
Horn was hospitalized Oct. 12 when physicians discovered he was in the process of an active heart attack while he was entering the hospital for an angiogram and other tests related to recent health concerns. Although he made more than one miraculous improvement, he remained in ICU until his death. On Oct. 17, bestselling author Jonathan Cahn prayed a special Hebrew blessing over Horn before appearing on SkyWatch TV in conjunction with the current crisis in Israel.
