## Resource

Responding to Jonathan Cahn: Blessing Israel, Prosperity Gospel, and Genesis 12. In this casual voice-recorded episode of Coffee with Hales, I respond off the cuff to a Jonathan Cahn sermon about Israel, replacement theology, and end-times claims. I critique what I see as a manipulative “prosperity Israel promise,” where financial support for Israel is presented as a way to receive financial blessing, and refusal is framed as bringing a curse. I question what Scripture he’s using and examine Genesis 12, arguing it’s God’s call and promise to Abram, not a command for the church to financially bless modern Israel. I emphasize that the ultimate blessing promised to the nations is Jesus Christ and the gospel, not wealth, and invite you to research and push back as needed. 00:00 Casual Episode Setup00:07 Why Respond to Cahn 00:40 Bless Israel Claim 01:21 Prosperity Gospel Critique 02:54 Manipulation and Curses 07:06 Checking Genesis 1207:46 Christ as the Blessing08:13 Wrap Up and Challenge
