The Avatar by Jonathan Cahn

Do avatars exist? Are they in our midst today? Is it possible that one of them is right now a public figure on the American political stage?

An avatar is a person or being who manifests, represents, or acts as vessel of a spirit or entity. They appear throughout the pagan world. The ancient pharaohs of Egypt, the kings of Babylon, and rulers of Asia were seen as living manifestations of the gods. But could they return? Could they seek to take control of culture, a civilization, a nation, even America?

The Mystery Continues

Three years ago, I released The Return of the Gods. It begins with the warning given by Messiah Jesus about the man who is delivered from a demonic spirit but then, remaining devoid and empty of God’s presence, is repossessed by the original spirit and seven others. The warning is not only to individuals but generations and more. For any culture, nation, or civilization that has been delivered or exorcised of the spirits—or gods—and then empties itself of God’s presence, its house will not remain empty. The spirits of which it was delivered will return to repossess it. We see this transformation now taking place in America—as we have emptied ourselves of God’s presence, others have come in to repossess.

The mystery has not stopped unfolding. In fact, it’s accelerated. The gods or spirits have almost impelled America to the point of no return. The mystery has affected everything from our presidential elections to our children’s future. My latest book, The Avatar, takes the mystery to realms and beyond thresholds it has never before crossed. And so it is likely going to be the most explosive book I’ve ever written.

My Encounters with the Gods

I was led to open it up by revealing something I’ve never before revealed, my encounters with the “gods” or “shedim,” in other lands—the trickster god in India, the crowned goddess in Cuba, and a man hailed as “lord of the universe” in Nigeria. What was revealed in the nations has everything to do with us in the modern world, in the West, and, specifically in America. The mystery was on full display in living color at the most recent Olympics, where Jesus was exchanged before the world for an ancient pagan Greek god. How ominous that exchange was is borne out by the fact that the same exchange led to Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich.

The Ancient Mystery of Trump

The mystery involves not only gods but kings, and how modern leaders are being used by ancient forces. The Avatar reveals that behind virtually every major American leader of our generation lies an ancient prototype, an ancient king, queen, or leader that serves as the mystery behind everything they do. It even holds the mystery of Donald Trump, his rise to power, his return to power, and his future—even an ancient object, hidden in the sands of the Middle East.

Even the assassination attempt on his life was part of a mystery that went back over three thousand years to an ancient priesthood—the way it happened, the place in which it happened, and the specific day on which it happened. In fact, it was that event that sealed Trump’s return to the White House. And the mystery goes even deeper. It was there on the very day of his birth with a Scripture appointed from ages past that contained the reason for his life. Even the year in which he was first raised up to the presidency is part of an ancient mystery, in this case, one that begins in the Book of Leviticus. And could a prophetic act, performed on the National Mall one month before the election, have determined his return to the presidency?

The Mystery of His Return

In order to understand the phenomenon of Donald Trump, and of his return to power, one must understand the ancient king named Jehu. Jehu was wild, unpredictable, a fighter, a man of drama and controversy. So is Trump. Jehu came to power by defeating a woman with an anti-biblical agenda. So did Trump—not once—but twice. When Jehu came to power he set out to purge the government. And so Trump, in his return to power, has embarked on a campaign to purge the government.

Jehu was a dismantler. He pulled down, dismantled, the evil Temple of Baal. And so Trump, in his return to the White House, set out to dismantle the realm of government he saw as being harmful to the nation’s future—just as did Jehu. The Bible speaks of the “Sword of Jehu.” And so it is no accident that on the night of his election, Trump was actually presented with a sword. He took the sword and did something no president has ever done—he began to dance with it! What is the meaning of Trump’s rise and return to power? How will it end? The ancient template gives us a clue, and a warning.

The Mystery of Kings and Queens

The template reveals the mystery of other leaders as well—an ancient king who fell away from the ways of God and whose reign saw the weakening of the nation, a disastrous withdrawal, unstopped border incursions, and more. The ancient king is the prototype of President Joe Biden. The king even ended his reign in physical infirmity, enfeeblement.

The Avatar reveals an ancient queen, written of in Scripture and yet little known to most believers who serves as the prototype for Kamala Harris. She served with the above weakened king as the number two ruler in the land. So Harris served as vice president to a weakened president. The ancient queen began a war against children, even to the shedding of their blood. Even Harris’ defeat was foreshadowed by the defeat and end of the ancient queen.
