JONATHAN CAHN (GUEST): The warning is this, that first of all, cultures — not just people — can be oppressed and possessed, they can be delivered and they can be repossessed. So the warning is, for America and for the West and for much of the world, modern world, any culture, any civilization that has been delivered of these spirits by God of paganism, by God, if it should ever turn away from God, then the spirits that were cast out of it will come back into it to repossess it.
If you want to understand what's been happening to America for the last half century. We're witnessing a repossession. We're witnessing a turn from a Christian civilization into a pagan one. And this is the beginning.
CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): This is key.
…
KIRK: So that's a really deep and important point that honestly, I don't even have theological clarity on. And I want your take. I want to spend some of our hour on this because I ask pastors and I get different answers, understandably. And you've obviously done some deep thinking on this, which is what does the Bible say? Who is Satan? Does he have lieutenants that we would call demons? And, so walk us through what the Bible says. Outside of folklore or tradition, what specifically does the Bible say who Satan is, what is his jurisdiction, and does he have, you know, lieutenants or demons or helpers?
CAHN: Yeah. Well, number one, you know, Satan in Hebrew, really, it's a Hebrew word that means, satan, means the one who opposes you —
KIRK: Accuser.
CAHN: And becomes the Greek diablos. We get devil from that. It means the opposer. Well, it says, the Bible clearly says that Satan is, was also a spirit, an angelic being, that fell.
…
The Bible says very clearly there is Satan and then there are spirits that are part of this realm. Just like God has angels, there are spirits. Well, what, you know, what would a spirit do more than draw attention — you know, draw the worship of God away from God to itself? So when you look at the pagan world, you know, there's a reason why it's demonic. You know, when you look at pagan worship, it's demonic. It's not just — you know, they have all the signs of possession, shaking and foaming at the mouth and all and after. And a possessed culture is literally, I mean, a pagan culture's literally demonic. So therefore, yes. And the thing is that we've kind of forgotten that, at our peril, to our peril. Because when you take out God, it all comes back.
