In a new prophetic message, Jonathan Cahn unpacked what he believes the Lord was saying through the New Year’s Eve lightning strikes on major U.S. buildings in New York and Washington D.C.

Cahn first points out that it was the Washington Monument, the Capitol, the Empire State building and the One World Trade Center that were all hit with the lightning. The odds of lightning hitting all of these buildings on the same day, right before the start of the new year is not likely at all. It is quite plausible that this event was indeed a message, a warning from the Lord.
“What does the Bible say about this phenomenon?” Cahn asks. “The Bible speaks of God sending fire from heaven, and lightning, literally…it says that God directs the lightning bolt. The lightning is His arrow. The Lord, it says, shall be seen over them and His arrow shall go forth as lightning.”
Cahn says that while many supporters of Trump were noted for seeing this sign as a positive one because of the president-elect’s soon arrival into D.C., he believes the lightning bolts were not necessarily a positive occurrence.
“Now we do hope for great things in the days ahead. Was the victory of Donald Trump against the woke, anti-biblical agenda a great victory? Yes, it was. Was God in it? I have no doubt. Was it the answer to the prayers of His people? I have no doubt it was…but, there is another side, and we have to be vigilant,” says Cahn.
Cahn says that while D.C. is known for government, New York City is a symbol of more than just government, but also of our culture too.
The lightning struck all four American icons. And more than that, each is a symbol. The Washington Monument was made in honor of the nation’s first president, and it’s also a symbol of America. The Capitol building is called the people’s temple, the temple of democracy, the seat of the American government, another symbol representing America. The Empire State building was for a long time the tallest building on earth, and it was at a time when American civilization and power had reached its pinnacle. It symbolized the grandeur, the ascendancy of America over the rest of the nations. And the tower at Ground Zero, the tallest building in America, another symbol of American power, of its ascendancy, of its greatness and more.
Cahn points out that these two cities represent the political and economic power of the United States. He also makes the point that the first president, George Washington, was inaugurated in New York City, not in Washington D.C. He further draws the connection that the 9/11 attacks hit both cities.
“Could God be reminding us? Could God be seeking to wake us up? Could God be warning us that is has not stopped, and that if we do not turn back there is more to come?”
He says the number four, for the four buildings hit with the lightning, is also significant, as this number represents a foundation, the number of corners in a building. Four also could represent the number of years of the incoming presidential administration as well.
“The striking this now is literally on the verge of 2025. We have something that just happened we need to take very seriously as a warning, a reminder [of] just how high the stakes are for our future.”
