In a newly released prophetic message, best-selling author and Messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn drew a stunning parallel between a modern covert strike against Iran’s nuclear program and a divine pattern found in the Book of Esther.
Cahn highlights the operation ordered by President Donald Trump—a joint U.S.–Israeli strike to destroy key parts of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, including advanced centrifuges used to enrich uranium. The operation, he says, had a spiritual target: “the centrifuge—one of the most dangerous devices on Earth.”

“This device is the key to bringing forth nuclear fire,” Cahn explained. “And with it, the power to bring destruction to Israel and much of the world.”
But what stunned Cahn was the exact timing of the strike. He reveals that the operation was launched on June 18–19, which corresponded with Sivan 23 on the Hebrew calendar. That date is uniquely significant in the Book of Esther—it is the very day the king issued the counter-decree allowing the Jewish people to defend themselves against the genocidal plan of Haman.
“According to the biblical mystery, what was done on the 23rd day of Sivan?” Cahn asked. “The king issued a decree to nullify the decree of destruction and to prevent the destruction of the Jewish people. And now on the exact day of that decree, America and Israel go forth to destroy the device of destruction.”
Cahn insists this is no coincidence but a clear prophetic pattern. “Only God could do this. Only God could cause this. And only God could ordain such a mystery that would span thousands of years and yet perfectly ordain a military action to take place on the very day when a new decree was given to stop the destruction of the Jewish people.”
Even the language of Scripture offers clues to the connection. Cahn explains that the Hebrew word used in Esther 9:25 for Haman’s plot is “machashabah,” which can also mean “device” or “invention.” He links it to the nuclear centrifuge: “The word used for the decree of destruction could be translated as a ‘device’ of destruction. What is a nuclear weapon? It is a device of destruction.”

Cahn’s message is clear: “God is alive. His Word is alive. He is in control. And even when world leaders don’t know it, they’re being used to fulfill His purposes.”
In a time marked by upheaval, confusion and moral disintegration, believers are called to discern the times and stand unwavering in truth. The shaking we are witnessing is not random—it is deeply spiritual and prophetic.
