Messianic rabbi and Religious Right activist Jonathan Cahn continues to make the rounds promoting his new book, “The Paradigm: The Ancient Blueprint That Holds the Mystery of Our Times,” which claims to reveal how various recent and current events were foretold thousands of years ago in the Bible.

For the last three days, Cahn has been pitching his nonsense on James Dobson’s radio program, asserting today that the Bible even foretold of the death of Osama bin Laden and how it would occur.

Cahn believes that bin Laden was a contemporary version of Ben-Hadad, an ancient king of Aram mentioned in the books of 1 & 2 Kings, based on the fact that they have similar sounding names. As Cahn sees it, the death of Ben-Hadad as told in 2 Kings 8 was “the paradigm” of the death of bin Laden in 2011.

“This is going to sound crazy, but the paradigm actually reveals what would happen [to bin Laden],” Cahn said. “In the paradigm, the guy who brings destruction on the land—in this case, Bin Laden; in the ancient case he was named Ben-Hadad—he is confined to his quarters, he can’t leave, basically, his quarters, so he uses messengers. Well, that is exactly what happened to Bin Laden, he couldn’t leave, he had to do that.”

“When he lies on his bed, an assassination will begin,” Cahn continued. “The paradigm says the nemesis will be assassinated—when he lies on his bed, the assassins draw near. Well, Osama bin Laden was lying on his bed in Pakistan when Navy SEAL assassins came near to the compound. And then, in the paradigm, the nemesis will be executed in his bedroom. Well, what happened to Osama bin Laden? He was literally killed in his own bedroom.”

For what it is worth, the passage from 2 Kings on the death of Ben-Hadad hardly mirrors the death of bin Laden, as Ben-Hadad was murdered by his own deputy so that he could become king:
