There is a mystery behind the end of days as it was written long ago in the book of Daniel.
In a sermon message recently posted on YouTube, Jonathan Cahn discussed the biblical prophecies written centuries ago in the Book of Daniel and how we are now seeing them come to pass.
Cahn first starts off by discussing Daniel 12:13 which reads, “But as for you, go your way until the end. Then you shall rest and rise again for your lot at the end of the age.”

Cahn notes how there is a link between the archangel Michael and Israel in this part of Scripture. He also says that this will be a time of great distress for the Jewish people.
“Distress will come as has never occurred. The end days will be a time of distress and it will also be a time when the Jewish people are in the middle of distress,” Cahn says.
“The end times will be a time of polarization,” Cahn continues. “The end times will be a separation, a very dramatic separation between good and evil. The good and the righteous and the evil. It’s a very important principle because we’re watching it.”

Cahn relates these passages to the Great Falling Away, which is guaranteed to happen in the latter days as people turn toward their own wicked ways and far from the truth of God’s Word. The end times also encompass a revival of God pouring out His Spirit on people everywhere.
“You see not just bad, you see also good in the end times,” Cahn says. “It’s not just the trouble, tribulation, it’s also return to the Lord, and it’s also the Spirit pouring out. It’s people falling away but the Spirit pouring out. Two things happen at once. Polarization—good and bad.”
Cahn points out the shifting of morality in today’s culture is one that we see as each year less and less people identify as Christians.
“There’s never been a change of morality this fast, globally, ever. It’s like the undoing of the gospel when it came to this civilization,” Cahn says.
Cahn further says that the fourth beast described in Daniel just may be pointing to the artificial things we have grown accustomed to in our day and age.
“…it’s the only one that has metal in it. It’s like unnatural. It’s artificial. When it’s described in Daniel it says this creature…was diverse or it was altered. In other words, end times civilization will be different from everything before it. The first creatures are all animal forms, but this one is beyond. And so, it’s saying the end times civilization, the last days civilization will be unnatural,” says Cahn.
As we see more evidence that we are living in the last days, this is the time for Christians to stand firm on the Word of God. We have no choice but to make Christ the cornerstone of our lives.
