This Ancient Artifact Has A Disturbing Pattern Across History | 700 Club Israel

Summary of Main Arguments and Reports

1) Jonathan Kahn’s thesis: an ancient altar as a recurring “spiritual pattern” in world history

The segment centers on Jonathan Kahn’s new thriller, The Altar of Pergamon, which claims that an ancient monument associated with spiritual evil (referred to as “the throne of Satan”) resurfaces through history and influences major atrocities.

Kahn argues that the Pergamon altar—linked to Revelation and to sacrificial worship—is repeatedly associated with periods of extreme violence, including:

• First and Second World Wars
• The rise of Hitler and the Third Reich
• The Holocaust

He ties specific historical developments to a proposed timeline:

• The altar is said to be abandoned/fall into the ground after early Christian influence, then uncovered in Germany by Karl Humann.
• Kahn claims that the period when the altar’s fragments arrive/are assembled in Germany coincides with the emergence of modern ideologies, especially anti-Semitism.
• He connects architectural and symbolic choices in Nazi Germany—particularly at Nuremberg—to the altar’s form, portraying Hitler as standing on a “throne” of evil.

2) Nazi symbolism and ideology described as occult/spiritual warfare

The speakers (including Kahn and the host) suggest Nazi practices involved satanic occult activity, presented as historical fact within the discussion.

A key claim is that Hitler needed a mass platform for power, and that Nazi architecture—described as inspired by the Pergamon altar—helped transform political rallies into spiritualized spectacle.

The segment further argues that Nazi language and imagery repurpose religious concepts:

• It claims the Nazis “appropriated Christianity”
• It portrays Nazi aims as targeting Jews and attempting to undermine Christianity, even if indirectly

3) Expansion of the “altar’s control” to communism and Cold War events

The speakers argue the altar’s influence “passes” from one geopolitical power to another:

• From Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union/communism

They frame Berlin’s division after WWII as meaningful within this worldview (with Berlin as the altar’s location, and the enemy as a “divider”).

They also connect this theme to major 20th-century milestones:

• The Cold War
• Nuclear escalation (they argue nuclear conflict’s origin links back to the Berlin-era “splitting the atom” moment)
• The Cuban Missile Crisis
• The eventual end of communist control when the Berlin Wall fell (1989)

4) Internet, European unity, and end-times parallels

The discussion claims the “enemy” seeks to:

• Divide the world (matching “Berlin” and the postwar split)
• Then unify it into a single order (linked to European Union formation in the early 1990s)

It also claims the internet parallels the same timeline/transfer-of-control concept.

A numerology argument is included:

• “666” symbolism is tied to letter-number mapping (W → vav → 6)
• The segment further claims a major American political figure visited/connected with the Berlin “Satan’s throne” context before taking office

The overall conclusion presented is that these events align with biblical prophecy.

5) Book purpose and call to faith and prayer

Kahn’s stated takeaway emphasizes the spiritual reality of God versus the devil as central.

The book is framed as a thriller designed to reach skeptics (“non-believers”) and draw them toward salvation.

The episode presents the message as:

• A warning about deception and spiritual conflict
• A call to prayer, with Israel and the Church described as enduring victories of God

It closes with the claim that, although evil may seem powerful, the “defeated enemy” ensures God’s ultimate victory.

Additional Jerusalem News Story + Humanitarian/Faith Programming

6) “Wild but true” Jerusalem ceasefire story from 1954

CBN Middle East correspondent Paul Poteet reports an anecdote set in divided Jerusalem (1948–1967):

• Israel controlled West Jerusalem
• Jordan controlled East Jerusalem
• Borders were dangerous, with snipers and restrictions limiting access to sensitive religious sites

The 1954 story described:

• A woman at a French hospital drops her false teeth into “no man’s land.”
• The hospital (run by nuns) contacts the Catholic Church, which contacts the United Nations, which then contacts Jordan and Israel to arrange a ceasefire.
• Under a ceasefire signaled by a white flag, the teeth are recovered and returned.
• The episode claims this incident helped resume security along the fragile border.

7) CBN Israel donation appeal: Central Bank of Israel support + aftermath of Oct. 7

A personal testimony is shared from Lyuba, a single mother (immigrated from Ukraine), describing hardship after:

• Her husband’s drug addiction
• Aggression
• Job loss
• Being abandoned

She receives assistance through Israel’s Central Bank support efforts (as described in the video), including food and household support such as a dryer during winter.

The segment also appeals for continued support for:

• People evacuated after October 7 (particularly Gaza-related needs)
• Holocaust survivors, especially those who lived in the former Soviet Union
• Victims of war trauma through a trauma center
• Anti-propaganda work via news/documentary production

The program closes with a biblical reassurance from Nehemiah:

“Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
