Attacked in Mid-Flight – UnderDog Report #123
Jonathan Cahn Recounts His Harrowing Ordeal
Commercial Airline Makes an Emergency Landing
His Attacker Remembers Nothing
Ā Who is Jonathan Cahn?
Jonathan Cahnis is an American Messianic Rabbi, author, and novelist known for his debut novel, which, I believe, sold over a million copies. He’s the founder and leader of Beth Israel Worship Center in Wayne, New Jersey, and what I love about what he does is that he talks about American politics.
Jonathan came to the Lord when his Ford Pinto got stuck on some railroad tracks, and his car was completely destroyed. He was actually driving the worst car you can imagine, a Ford Pinto that was famous for exploding during accidents. He called out to God just as the train smashed into his car, which was totally destroyed. He did not get a scratch, and that is what led him to believe in Jesus. He says it was not for God saving him from that train accident; he does not know if he would have come to the Lord.
Jonathan leads a worldwide ministry his church and website HopeOfTheWorld DOT org.
Attacked at 30,000 Feet
Jonathan and the man sitting next to him spoke on friendly terms for two hours. Cahn then start sharing about the power and reality of God, and his new book The Altar of Pergamon. His face then changed, everything changed, including his voice.
A SPIRITUAL ATTACK
It was a spiritual attack. He whispers something Cahn, it’s a profanity, and then he tell says:
āIām going to punch your *@#$ Jewish face in”
The devil doesn’t like Jews. Then he starts cursing God on the plane, heās blasphemy, cursing Jesus, and causing disturbances. People on the plane were looking at them and were aware there was a disturbance.
Strange things were happening all week. His computer had a black mark that appeared.
THE DEVIL WAS AFTER HIS BOOK ON HIS COMPUTER Ā
The man then taps his computer screen, Ā 2 or 3 times, and the blackness spreads across, over most of the screen. Then, he starts putting his hands around Cahn in a chokehold. This went on for half an hour, way too long.Ā The man was laughing,Ā joking, but then, he saw the image on the side of the screen of my book,Ā The Altar of Pergam,Ā and started shouting,Ā āWhat did you do?Ā What did you do?ā Ā Like, he shouldn’t have written that book.
It was all of a sudden, he’d be friendly, then it would go back, and he’d attack Cahn. At this point, Ā he starts hitting Johnathan, lightly, to provoke a fight. Johnathan felt that the man wanted to destroy his computer that had his book on it, so he closed his laptop, took his cell phone, and tried to get out of his seat. That is when the man lunged at him and his computer.
Theyāre wrestling on the plane, with the computer at 30,000 feet! What appears to be a possessed man wants to Ā destroy Johnathanās computer, and heās thinking at the beginning of the week, he was preaching at his congregation, Ā Beth Israel in Garfield, New Jersey:
“We Wrestle not with Flesh and Blood, but Principalities in High Places.ā Ephesian 6:12
So he is wrestling with principalities in high places at 30,000 feet. Then the pilot is radioing down and making the announcement, they’re making an emergency landing, and two men, the owner of a Gun Range and his employee, who was also a retired police officer, come and restrain the man who is attacking Cahn.
A BIBLICAL DEMONIC ATTACK
The whole plane was shocked, and the attacker starts being violent with the ones trying to restrain him. He is making unintelligible noises, trying to bite them. It was a Biblical demonic attack.
UPDATE: His Attacker “Remembers Nothing”
Now, reported by multiple media sites, the attacker, in an unbelievable admission, says he remembers nothing! Ā From The Baltimore Banner, which had audio of his court appearance in Annapolis, Maryland:
āI donāt remember any of what happened,ā Layne Lundeen, 67, said as court proceedings i got underway.
āI assaulted a police officer? Is that what it says?ā he reportedly said. āI donāt have my glasses.ā AndĀ āOh my God. What a mess. I donāt remember any of it.ā


All other articles state "man duct taped to seat; makes emergency landing". Thank you for this detailed article.
The "other reports" were "cleansed" – OK, censored.
This is definitely a spiritual attack from Satan. Read the Bible, more and more of this is starting to happen. Why? We're in the latter days and the in Tribulation this incident will look like child's play. This kind of warfare will be worse and daily then, the last days. Prayers for Jonathan Cahnis and praise for the Lord for His protection and the people the Lord had ready to come to his rescue. Peace
No. It's assault and battery. Jail is required for the perp.
Get saved, start a relationship with our creator God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and you'll understand. Yes, the perp should be prosecuted and pay the earthly penalty, I do not dispute this and wonder why you come back with this observation. Peace and Godspeed.
Keep dreaming. BTW, I was an altar boy at age 23 (two years out of the USN, in college – EE), because none of the regulars showed up – snow. My noteriaty improved.
Sounds more like an anti-semitic attack. Did the the assailant know of the book, or previously read it?? The attack did not (apparently) begin until the subject of "God" came up. Was Lundeen an Atheist??
PS a plea of temporary insanity often begins with the phrase, "I don't remember"!
