The Mystery of the Shemitah1 is an important read in today’s age. The author, Jonathan Cahn, is a Messianic Rabbi in New Jersey who also wrote the book The Harbinger. We have spent many hours listening to his sermons and researching the “mysteries” he reveals in The Harbinger, and we feel Pastor Cahn is a very down-to-earth, biblically grounded, cautious preacher who really does have a message from the Lord for America. (It was important to us to make sure he is not one for speculation or date setting.) His message for Believers is simple: stay right with God and stay pure in all your ways, in order to be a bright light in this world that is getting darker and darker. And for America, his message is to turn back to God, or else God will bring judgment on the nation as a loving act to bring us back.
We share this book with you because we believe the Shemitah pattern is biblical and applicable to us today. We believe God is a loving God who sends judgment when it is needed in order to turn people back to Him. Out of His love, He also warns before bringing judgment. If God chooses to bring a national shaking to our country in the years to come, we feel a need to send the warning to be ready.
While reading the book, Pastor Cahn would want you to keep in mind two cautions. First, while the author believes God is calling this nation back to Him, and it would seem that the pattern of every seven years (the Sabbath year, aka Shemitah) could bring a national “shaking”, God does not have to follow the pattern. On the flip side, God certainly could continue the pattern you’ll read about and we should be prepared if this happens in an upcoming Shemitah.
It seems that we have crossed a tipping point in America, and when a tipping point comes, momentum increases. Now is the time to stand strong for the Lord. Now is the time to stay grounded in the Word. Now is the time to rid our lives of anything that keeps us from total dependence on God. And, if our nation increases in boldness against God, we must increase in boldness for the things of God!
We have learned so much about the ancient Hebrew and present-day Jewish cultures from Rabbi Cahn since he was raised Jewish and is also a Believer. We hope this book will open your eyes to new insights that you may not have known before, and that you will prepare for the days ahead however God leads you.
