Gifts of Blessing: The Harbinger of The Fall of America

Jonathan Cahn, a messianic Rabbi wrote the book the Harbinger years ago now. When the book outlining the fall of America based on Biblical curses the United States leadership has called down upon us, many of the harbingers Cahn referred to were just being set up.

Now, we can see how the judgement of God is unfolding on America in ever increasing calamities.

Most of us remember September 11, 2001 -- "a day of destruction" in America. The two hijacked planes that crashed into the Twin Towers had unhindered access, since our usually alert air defense system had apparently assigned its pilots elsewhere on that particular morning.

The next day, September 12, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle gave a verbal response to the terrorist attacks. "We will rebuild…” he told the anxious crowd. He continued,

"I know that there is only the smallest measure of inspiration that can be taken from this devastation. But there is a passage in the Bible from Isaiah that I think speaks to us all at times like this: ‘The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig [or sycamore] trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars.'" [Isaiah 9:10] [p.117]

Perhaps Mr. Daschle actually searched the Bible for a short encouraging Scripture that would bring hope to his listeners. Perhaps he didn't notice the Biblical context for that particular verse. In any case, his chosen words were heard across America, and few questioned the message.

But to Jonathan Cahn and his fictional "prophet" those were dangerous words.

The Old Testament prophecy in Isaiah 9:10-11 links America's fate to the destruction of ancient Israel. Cahn suggests that the troubles on Wall Street, our sinking economy, and the 9-11 destruction of the Twin Towers are all rooted in these ancient words:

"The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild ..." Isaiah 9:10

And rebuild we did!

Cahn based his message on the dubious theory that Daschle's words "we will rebuild" were a prideful vow.

"Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, who say in pride and arrogance of heart:
'The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with hewn stones;
The sycamores are cut down, but we will replace them with cedars.”
Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him,
And spur his enemies on, the Syrians before and the Philistines behind;
And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth." Isaiah 9:9-12

The Israelites who heard Isaiah's words still had time to repent, yet they chose to honor their pagan idols rather than our sovereign God. Their sins were pride, rebellion [against God], and idolatry. Stubborn and willful, they refused to repent.

Since that vow was made:

“...the prophecy was proclaimed on the day after 9/11. Here the nation vowed the vow to emerge stronger than before. Seven years later the vow would be undone.”

“With the collapse of the economy.”

“Yes.... And what event, more than any other, would bring about that collapse?”

“The fall of Lehman Brothers.”...

“So the economic collapse was triggered on the seventh anniversary of the proclaiming of the ancient vow.”

“Just as in ancient times the same vow would ultimately lead to the collapse of ancient Israel.”

"A very dangerous vow." [pp.179-181]

We are now at the brink of an economic collapse in full in America. Most economists, not just the tin foil hat crowd, believe that we will see some sort of economic reset in 2015. Is this based on God's judgement?

Time will tell. But in a world where we do not value human life, where we callously talk about selling parts of murdered babies for profit and yet think a man who kills a lion is deserving of death, where we call good evil and evil good, how good a kind and loving God, not avenge such horrors?
