OK.

The principles which motivated Paul to write 2 Timothy 3 were also alive and well in Genesis as they were in Paul's time and will be at the times of Revelation.

But wait, 2 Timothy 3 says "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come..." Doesn't that mean that the teaching applies only during the last days and therefore is not always true?

God's the real master at appropriating imagery to move people. That is His style when people don't just receive what He says. Re: The Prophets

In so far as God speaks in nature that is true. I have seen moving sunsets that took my breath away. And in an analogical sense God can use people to create moving imagery. OK

Maybe Cahn is referring to the simplest and truest meaning of repentance. Maybe he's sincere. Maybe his words are true to God's.

I didn't mean to suggest that Cahn wasn't sincere. He seemed to be. I'm just saying that his sermon implied a particular political ideology. Apparently he combines Christian fundamentalism with a kind orthodox Jewish fundamentalism and you find that appealing. It's a free country. Go for it, I say. That position seems to entail judging everybody that doesn't take the same route. Which means being in conflict with everybody who is not on the same path.
But, hey, you're on God's chosen path so it's worth it right?
