It’s a shocking revelation that could transform the way both Jews and Christians view their faith: Jewish rabbis alive at the time of Christ inadvertently proved Jesus was the Messiah with their writings at the time of the crucifixion.
Messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn, an expert in the ancient writings of the Jewish religious leaders and the leader of the largest messianic congregation in the world, made the sensational claim in a recent appearance on Sid Roth’s “It’s Supernatural.” It’s just one of the many Scriptural secrets contained within Cahn’s bestselling new title, “The Book of Mysteries.”
“In ‘The Book of Mysteries,’ the Teacher takes the disciple into a room with old books and takes out the Talmud of the rabbis,” Cahn said, describing this section of the book. “Here’s the thing – hidden in their writings, in the book called Yoma, in that, the rabbis recorded that all of a sudden strange signs and supernatural things started happening in the Temple of Jerusalem. Particularly, the doors at the Temple opened by themselves. They would close them, the doors would open by themselves. It says they rebuked the doors. They opened by themselves.
“They give the year and say it happened about forty years before the destruction of the Temple. 70 A.D. minus 40 years equals just about 30 A.D., the time of Messiah on the cross! And so when Messiah’s on the cross, the rabbis are recording that all these supernatural cosmic changes took place in the Temple!”
That’s not all. Cahn said there are more writings from the Jewish spiritual leaders which inadvertently buttress the case the Jewish Messiah has already arrived.
“In fact, in one of the books called Sanhedrin of all things, they give the timing of when Messiah had to come by and it comes out to about 30 A.D.,” Cahn claimed. “This is in the rabbinic writings. There’s nothing like this in history. It’s actually proving Messiah beyond anything.”
There were even supernatural occurrences at the time, dutifully recorded by the rabbis, which make it hard to deny something extraordinary was occurring in the Holy Land at the time of Jesus’ first coming.
“It actually talks about the scarlet cord that stopped turning white in about 30 A.D.,” Cahn stated. He explained the cord would turn white to signify God accepted the sacrifice of Yom Kippur. “But all of a sudden, something cosmic happened on Yom Kippur. When? Just about the time Jesus, Yeshua, died for our sins.”
“How can we have all those coincidences and call them coincidences?” asked Roth in astonishment.
“When you’ve got a hostile witness,” Cahn said, referring to the rabbis, “that’s the most powerful witness.”
Revelations like this are helping to propel “The Book of Mysteries” up the bestseller charts. “The Book of Mysteries” hit the No. 4 spot on the New York Times Bestseller list in the category of “Religion, Spirituality and Faith.”
According to the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association, “The Book of Mysteries” is the No. 2 bestselling Christian book in the country and the No. 1 bestseller in the category of Fiction.
The powerful story contained within the book is riveting readers, taking them on an exciting journey over the course of the year. Cahn described the story to a clearly impressed Sid Roth.
“It begins with a man traveling in the desert,” Cahn explained. “He meets a man called The Teacher. The Teacher takes him on a one year odyssey around mountaintops, caves, secret chambers, desert dwellers, and every day he opens up some of the greatest mysteries of God. He opens up a mystery of every day. So it’s an odyssey and yet the one who reads this is really taken on that odyssey. If ‘The Harbinger’ was a mystery, this is hundreds of mysteries. And I would say really the greatest mysteries of the ages – of prophecy, of God, of heaven.”
Cahn also gave a sneak peek of the opening of the book and the first mystery.
“This is an opening for both believers and unbelievers,” he said. “The Teacher comes to the disciple carrying a jar and poses the question, ‘Is it possible for something that is small to contain something that is large?’ And the traveler says, ‘No it is not possible.’ And the teacher responds: ‘Yes it is. If the vessel is open, it can contain everything. It’s unlimited. This jar can contain a river. If you put it in a river, the river can flow right through it.'”

Cahn explains this is a lesson about the nature of God.
“How can you contain God?” Cahn asked rhetorically. “The Bible says, Paul says, ‘I pray that you would have the fullness of God.’ How can you be filled up with the fullness of God? An open vessel, an open life, an open mind, an open heart will be filled by God continuously. There’s no limitations on that life.”
“Which is bigger – which we know or which we don’t know?” Cahn asked. “With all that we know, we don’t know the little finger of God yet. There’s so much more. If Paul could write ‘that I may know Him,’ and he wrote most of the books of the New Testament, think of us. We have to never stop seeking. That’s what the mysteries are. There’s no end to the revelations of God. There’s no end to the awesomeness of God. We just have to not get tired. We just have to keep seeking him and we’ll find.”
Cahn conceded tough times are ahead for believers and for Western Civilization, as he believes the last days are drawing near. He argues the faith of Christians will be put to the test, and says “The Book of Mysteries” is partially designed to help fortify Christians for the struggles ahead.
“One is we know in the end times there will be a great falling away,” he said. “And we know that. But the word in Greek is apostasia. It means a falling away from the faith, but it doesn’t just mean that. What people don’t realize is the other meaning which holds the whole other mystery. The other meaning of apostasia is not just to fall away from the faith, but to fall away from the state of being.
“If a civilization falls away from faith in God, it falls away from the state of being. Man falls away from the state of manhood. Woman falls away from the state of womanhood. Family falls away from the state of family. Marriage falls away from the state of marriage. There is no accident that we are witnessing this all around, it is part of the end times.”
But Cahn said there are many reasons for hope. He predicted great events in the near future comparable to those described in the Bible, specifically one akin to that which descended on the world during the time of the apostles.
“The way God will finish the age is the way He began the age,” the messianic rabbi said. “What was in the beginning will be in the end. That’s the way God does it.
“So you have Israel in the world in the beginning, you have Israel at the end. You have Jerusalem, you have Jerusalem back. You have Jewish believers [in Jesus at the beginning of the Christian faith] at the beginning, you have Jewish believers at the end. You have persecution at the beginning, you will have persecution at the end. But you have the Book of Acts at the beginning, you will have the Book of Acts at the end.
“You’ll see an outpouring of the spirit.”
