In a recent video update, bestselling author and prophetic voice Jonathan Cahn shared a double portion of excitement: new compelling evidence pointing to the possible discovery of Noah’s Ark, and a forthcoming book he promises will be “explosive.”
Examining this incredible archaeological discovery, Cahn addressed a question that has fascinated believers and skeptics alike: Has Noah’s Ark actually been found?

“It’s a mystery that has spanned the ages,” he said. “Some believe it’s now on the verge of being solved.”
According to the Bible, Noah’s ark came to rest on Mount Ararat, in what is now modern-day Turkey. Near this mountain lies a curious formation known as the Durupınar site—a 538-foot-long mound in the shape of a boat.
Even more intriguing, recent geological and radar-based studies have revealed characteristics consistent with an ancient, man-made vessel.
“The most striking thing… is that the samples that were taken outside the mound were different from those taken within the mound,” Cahn explained. “The mound had lower pH levels and higher organic matter as well as more potassium than the soil around it.”
What does that mean? According to Cahn, these signs suggest rotting wood, exactly what one might expect in the remains of an ancient ark. “If it was just a thing of dirt, a natural formation, that wouldn’t have been,” he said.
Even the vegetation is acting strangely. “The grass inside the boat-shaped site turns yellow and fades earlier in the season than the grass of the surrounding area,” he noted, suggesting a man-made structure lies beneath the surface.
Using advanced ground-penetrating radar (GPR), researchers detected rectangular shapes about 22 feet underground—potentially chambers or construction elements consistent with the biblical description of the ark. A full-scale excavation is planned for the coming years.
Yet Cahn reminds viewers that faith doesn’t rest on artifacts. “Our faith rests on the word of God regardless of anything else. But it’s an added blessing to watch as modern archaeology has continually borne witness to the truth of God’s word.”
He reminded viewers that just as the ark served to protect Noah and his family from evil, we now are called to run to the Lord as our place of refuge.
“Evil will be judged. The day of judgment is coming. So get right with God… Messiah Yeshua, Jesus—that’s the ark. Get into the ark.”

Cahn also shared a major teaser with his audience. “I’ve been writing the newest book and I just finished it. It is just now being sent to the printer.”
While he kept the title under wraps, he added, “It’s going to be explosive. I don’t know what’s going to happen when it comes out.” Followers of his ministry won’t have to wait long to hear more. “You will be the first to get it or to be able to get it… It’ll be the announcement that will be coming. So stay tuned to this channel.”
As Cahn prepares to unveil his new book and the world waits to see what the Durupınar site will reveal, his message remains the same: “Stay strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.”
