In a recent podcast with Mondo Gonzales of Prophecy Watchers, best-selling author Rabbi Jonathan Cahn explains a profound connection between biblical prophecy and modern events, focusing on what he calls the “Jubilean mystery.”
This mystery, rooted in the celebration of Jubilee—a biblical period occurring every 50 years when God restores what was lost, particularly for Israel—reveals a divine pattern in history. Cahn explains, “Every 50 years, God gives to Israel a year of restoration. If you lost your life [or] land, you get it back.”

According to Cahn, significant historical events in Israel’s restoration align with Jubilee years, such as the 1917 Balfour Declaration and the 1967 Six-Day War. “The next Jubilee… 2017… the Jerusalem Proclamation goes forth… recognizing Jerusalem as the capital,” he notes, referring to the U.S. formally acknowledging Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
However, Cahn warns that the enemy has twisted these divine cycles, referencing the Yom Kippur War of 1973 as a pivotal moment in this counter-Jubilee. “The enemy took this calamity… and he did the Jubilee of it,” he says, explaining that the war’s prophetic significance points to Oct. 7, 2023, 50 years after the conflict. According to Cahn, the date aligns with a Hebrew holy day, following a biblical pattern outlined in Leviticus 25.

One of the most striking revelations in Cahn’s address involves the Palestinian flag. He connects the colors of the flag—white, red, black and green—with the “colors of the Apocalypse” from Revelation 6:1-8, which describes the four horsemen as riding white, red, black and pale (green) horses. Cahn explains, “All this hatred for Israel was done in the name of a flag… the flag of Palestine… white, red, black and green.” He reveals that these colors symbolize the forces of opposition against Israel in the end times, noting that “every nation that has those colors… is an enemy of Israel. It’s no accident; it’s all linked to the end.”
This color scheme is used by several nations hostile to Israel’s very existence, and some who have an uneasy truce with the people of Israel. These countries include: Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Sudan, Syria and the United Arab Emirates.
Cahn’s message carries a sense of urgency for fellow believers, warning those who would listen that we are approaching the end of the age. He urges Christians to recognize the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, referring them to Scriptures that reveal the entire world is going to focus on that little nation of Israel.
