Bestselling rabbi warns America of God’s 7-year judgments<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

This article was first published on September 21st, 2014. However, it becomes more relevant with each passing month during this<\/p>\n

Mark your calendars and hold on to your hats, the next 12 months could be a wild ride for America and the world.<\/p>\n

The biblical Feast of Trumpets, also known as the Jewish New Year, begins at sundown on Wednesday, Sept. 24, which also marks the appearing of a new moon.<\/p>\n

But this New Year on the Hebrew calendar is not just any new year. It is the Sabbath year or \u201cShemitah\u201d year. Just as the seventh day was laid out by God as a day of rest in the Hebrew Old Testament, every seventh year was designated as a Sabbath year. The word \u201cShemitah\u201d is most often translated as \u201cthe release\u201d or \u201cthe remission\u201d and applied to the wiping away of debts as well as the resting of the land.<\/p>\n

Messianic Jewish Rabbi Jonathan Cahn believes he has unlocked the mystery of the Shemitah\u2019s meaning as it applies to modern-day nations. In his new book, \u201cThe \u201cMystery of the Shemitah,\u201d he explains that nearly every major U.S. stock market collapse since the early 1900s has occurred during a Shemitah year, as did the terrorist attack and stock market collapse of September 2001 and the financial collapse of 2008. The next Shemitah year begins Wednesday and runs through Sept. 13, 2015.<\/p>\n

But what if the \u201cShemitah\u201d contains an ominous warning about a wider collapse of not just stock markets or housing markets but potentially America\u2019s very existence as leader of the free world? If the nation does not pull back from its current course and repent, it could be in for some rough times as this next Shemitah year plays out, according to Cahn.<\/p>\n

Why? Because in \u201cThe Mystery of the Shemitah\u201d Cahn explains that empires see their fortunes rise and fall in accordance with the Shemitah. Germany, for instance, began its Third Reich with the annexation of Austria in 1938, a Shemitah year, and it ended seven years later when Adolph Hitler committed suicide in April 1945, another Shemitah year. Cahn points out in his book that the Russian, Japanese, Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires also fell in accordance with the Shemitah.<\/p>\n

Cahn has also found patterns of special importance in cycles of 28-year periods or four Shemitah years in succession.<\/p>\n

In 1945, a Shemitah year, America emerged as the uncontested leader of the free world following the surrender of Germany and Japan in World War II. And 28 years later, in another Shemitah year in 1973, America lost its first war, Vietnam, fell victim to the Arab oil embargo and saw its dollar weaken as a result of President Nixon\u2019s decision to remove it from the gold standard two years earlier.<\/p>\n

Spring forward another 28 years, and that brought the attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, and a historic stock market collapse a few days later, followed by another historic market collapse seven years later in the Shemitah year of 2008.<\/p>\n

\"Jonathan<\/a>

Jonathan Cahn<\/p><\/div>\n

These are the warning signs or \u201charbingers,\u201d to which Cahn has been pointing, starting with his first book, \u201cThe Harbinger.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t read \u201cThe Harbinger\u201d or seen \u201cThe Isaiah 9:10 Judgment\u201d yet, now is the time to catch up on the groundbreaking spiritual detective work of Jonathan Cahn.<\/p>\n

Now comes the start of another Shemitah year, 2014-2015, and America still has not responded to the increasing signs of judgment.<\/p>\n

For instance, the five greatest economic crashes of the last 40 years \u2013 1973, 1980, 1987, 2001 and 2008 \u2013 all occurred in Shemitah years \u2013 those God set apart as Sabbath years.<\/p>\n

As he pointed out in his earlier book, in 2001 and 2008 they coincided precisely with the exact end of the Shemitah year on the Hebrew calendar day of Elul 29.<\/p>\n

Cahn says history shows that as one empire begins its descent, another starts to rise. If America refuses to heed the warnings, repent and turn back to God, he sees possibilities of China becoming the world\u2019s next big financial powerhouse.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the mystery manifested in ancient times, it involved the fall of the Babylonian Empire and the rise of Persia,\u201d Cahn told WND. \u201cIn modern times, it has involved the fall of European powers and the rise of America. What it would point to now is the fall of the American Empire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another mystery in the book, the Mystery of the Towers, would point to Asia, as in China, as the most immediate replacement of America\u2019s role, at least in the realm of economic power, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time this doesn\u2019t rule out other powers such as the European Union, etc. In the biggest picture, both \u2018The Mystery of the Shemitah\u2019 and \u2018The Harbinger\u2019 point to the fall of America\u2019s preeminence among the nations \u2013 and this corresponds with end-time prophecy, which leaves a conspicuous absence with regard to America,\u201d Cahn said.<\/p>\n

There is also something special about the day of Elul 29 on the Jewish calendar. This is the last day of the Hebrew month of Elul, when all debts were canceled and all credit released, and the nation of Israel\u2019s financial accounts were wiped clean. This is the day that ushers in the month of Tishri and the Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah.<\/p>\n

The first shaking was 9\/11 and a stock market crash on Sept. 17, or Elul 29 on the Jewish calendar. The second was in 2008, seven years later to the day. At end of September 2008, the greatest stock market crash in U.S. history, again on Elul 29, touched off the Great Recession.<\/p>\n

So the two worst stock market crashes in U.S. history both happened on Elul 29 to the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it means in Israel the orthodox Jews were canceling out their debts symbolically, while God is cancelling out the debts, there\u2019s this giant Shemitah, across the world, both times, to the day,\u201d Cahn explained in a TV interview with Gary Stearman on \u201cProphecy in the News\u201d last year.<\/p>\n

On Rosh Hashanah it is customary to blow the trumpets once each day as a type of a warning, and the sound of the trumpet is a symbol of alarm and judgment throughout Scripture.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes Elul is all about warning, it\u2019s about trumpets, it\u2019s about getting right with God and it\u2019s about repentance,\u201d Cahn said. \u201cSundown comes and then comes the Feast of Trumpets, the blowing of the trumpet. The day of the judgment, or the day of the warning. All these converging on this exact precise day.\u201d<\/p>\n

America\u2019s days of playing the role of the world\u2019s policeman and of setting the tone as its financial leader all hang in the balance.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because the nation was dedicated to God on April 30, 1789, the day George Washington was sworn in as its first president, according to Cahn\u2019s earlier research for the book, \u201cThe Harbinger.\u201d<\/p>\n

America\u2019s first day as a nation with a full government in place was April 30, 1789. After Washington was sworn in, he left to pray at the little stone chapel in New York on America\u2019s very first day as a nation. That chapel was at the edge of what is today Ground Zero in New York City, America\u2019s first capital.<\/p>\n

Because America was forged as a nation under God, it was blessed beyond that of any other nation to date in terms of its economy, military and international influence.<\/p>\n

While the agricultural concept of Shemitah may no longer be in place, Cahn believes the blessing and judgment aspects of Shemitah still apply, especially for nations founded by people professing Judeo-Christian values. He presents compelling evidence throughout American history that when the nation left its godly moorings, the hand of God\u2019s protection also seemed to leave.<\/p>\n

America\u2019s future as a world leader also has huge implications for modern-day Israel.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica is still Israel\u2019s strongest ally. America is also the home of the largest Jewish population on earth outside Israel,\u201d Cahn told WND. \u201cA great shaking here would affect Israel. It could even play a part in leading American Jews to return (to Israel).\u201d<\/p>\n

But Cahn is careful not to predict what will happen in the coming Shemitah year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe phenomenon may manifest in one cycle and not in another and then again in the next,\u201d he writes. \u201cAnd the focus of the message is not date-setting but the call of God to repentance and return. At the same time, something of significance could take place, and it is wise to note the times.\u201d<\/p>\n
