The crazed plane passenger who was duct-taped and zip-tied on a flight to New Jersey first flipped over a discussion about religion with his seatmate, a controversial Messianic rabbi who’s a best-selling author dubbed a “Doomsday prophet.”
Author Jonathan Cahn said that now-fired Arizona realtor Arthur Layne Lundeen, 67, allegedly started hurling racist and homophobic slurs after first screaming at him that “Jesus is bulls–t.”
“I was the unidentified passenger and I was actually attacked, 30,000 feet in the sky. I was attacked on that plane,” Cahn revealed in a YouTube video Monday.
“I have never seen someone change in a split second from light to dark as I saw then, as if something had taken him over,” Cahn said. “He went from the friendliest guy in the world to this dark person.”
Cahn leads the Beth Israel Worship Center in Wayne, New Jersey, part of the Messianic Jewish movement that believes Jesus is the messiah, making it generally considered a branch of Christianity.
He is also known for his controversial books, especially his debut 2011 novel, “The Harbinger,” which draws parallels between the 9/11 attacks and the destruction of the Kingdom of Israel, linking the events as a divine warning.
Another book, 2015’s “The Mystery of the Shemitah,” suggested a great global catastrophe was imminent, with the New York Times calling him a “Doomsday prophet.”
Cahn claimed it was the cover of his newest novel, “The Altar of Pergamon,” that “triggered” Lundeen after they had been chatting amiably on last Thursday’s Newark-bound American Airlines flight.
Cahn said he referenced “the reality of the real power of god on Earth and in our lives,” leaving Lundeen irate and “cursing Jesus” and “blaspheming Jesus and God.”
He claimed Lundeen then started saying, “It’s all bulls–t. Jesus is bulls–t.”

Duct Tape Man made a mistake. BIG mistake.
God must have planned it for those two to be seat mates.
Maybe be one day D-T-M will see the light.
It would have been so much fun and interesting to have Johnathan Cahn as a seat mate. I have read his books.
If Jonathan C-O-N is what claims he is, he could have cast the demon out of that drunk before it got physical. Look up some of these prophet scorekeepers and you will find they prove C-O-N and others of the NAR to be a slick frauds.
I didn’t say don’t talkk religion or politics…
I said:
‘Or otherwise interact with anyone who might be either demonically possessed or on a cocktail of pharmaceuticals or both
Where is security?
This. And, to be really safe, just don’t talk to people anywhere. Lots of crazies out there.
Why?
Core Beliefs and Practices
Messiah: He teaches that Jesus is the Son of God and the promised Messiah of Hebrew scriptures.
Jewish Roots: His teachings emphasize the Jewish identity of early Christianity, incorporating elements like Jewish holidays, the shofar, and the name Yeshua.
Prophecy and Politics: His writings and sermons often connect current world events and American politics with biblical prophecies.
Views and Perspectives
Mainstream Judaism: Major denominations and national Jewish organizations do not view Messianic Judaism as part of the Jewish faith because its followers accept Jesus as the Messiah.
Torah Observance: Opinions on Reddit are mixed regarding Cahn's exact level of Torah observance, with some followers debating his Sabbath practices and use of specific worship days.
Christian Evaluation: Some mainstream Christian theologians view his teachings as controversial, with critical evaluations such as the Is Jonathan Cahn Biblically Sound? | A Reformed Evaluation arguing that he misinterprets biblical passages to fit modern political and prophetic theories.
Given the man's occupation it would be difficult for the man to have any other kind of conversation.
When any two men who are unacquainted with each other start a conversation it most often will start with what they do for a living.
After the response I am an author most likely next question would be what do you write about or might I have read any of your work?
I am almost surprised that the plane got off the ground before the man exploded.
“”is what claims he is, he could have cast the demon out of that drunk””
He is a Jewish man who has accepted Christ. You have a problem with that? Nothing fraudulent about Jonathan Cahn...
agree. don’t bother people with your views unless you are 100% sure they agree.
I know I don’t want to hear anybody’s religious views.
That violates the direct Command of Jesus Christ: “Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations...”.
But it seems people have a rule of thumb and already duct-taped themselves, just in case.
What’s freedom of speech for, anyhow? Free to speak as long as people agree? Are you are the right forum?
Arthur Layne Lundeen suffered a demonic ensnarement that sent him into a convulsive attack. Not guilty.

In fairness, I’m pretty sure Jesus is the most controversial person of all time.
Keep your mouth shut next to me.
Sounds like.
Depending on my mood, I might not be interested in discussing his particular religious beliefs with him ...
But there are much better ways to end the conversation.
Starting with a polite change of subject.
Putting on headphones also works wonders ...
No kidding - if you actually read his books you wouldn’t assess them as controversial or ‘doomsday’. Real life fills in all those gaps; plus, speaking Truth and trying live our faith is controversial to the world of the unfaithful.
Just another demon possessed lefty.
no, i’m just saying I do not want to hear your or anybody’s religious views unless I ask
I’m okay on this forum. Thanks for your concern.
