And Cahn is a master at appropriating Bible imagery to move people in service of his ideological agenda. I appreciate his prophetic imagination. I wonder if he himself believes that the images in his head have the weight of absoluteness. Be that as it may, in Cahn's case I think true "repentance" would entail not only buying into his onstage histrionics but getting in line with his right-wing ideology. Don't you think?
