What Would a Shemitah Judgement Look Like? Wiping Away Physical Realities

from TheBlaze.com 
Author Jonathan Cahn, in his book, The Mystery of the Shemitah, at the bottom of page 242, wrote this of a Shemitah should it manifest as judgment in America and beyond:

"The judgment will wipe away physical realities."

The first thing that came to my mind when I read this was, "Like the Twin Towers."

In my previous post I also talked about a possibility I can see happening: the shaking of the U.S. Supreme Court Building because of the judgments this court has made and imposed on the people of the United States, including but not limited to:

  • Legalizing abortion in 1973.
  • And effectively legalizing same-sex marriage across all 50 states this past June 26, 2015.

The author may have meant more than physical buildings, perhaps including the physical realities of money in financial accumulation. But physical buildings is what came to my mind, bringing the image and the example of the World Trade Center twin towers in New York City which were wiped away on September 11, 2001. This led to the financial fall two Shemitahs ago. (Tweet that!)

What other physical realities come to your mind that might be wiped away? (Tweet that!)

There Appears a Crack in the Foundation of America

Federal Hall, New York City

Last week we looked at the actual physical, geographical location of where our nation, the United States of America, was founded and we learned that the very place where America was dedicated to the One True God was a little stone church called St. Paul’s Chapel.

That church, which still stands there today, stands on as well as once owned all the land that has become known as Ground Zero of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. (Tweet that!)

But there’s even more. Look at what happened to the "foundation of America" according to Jonathan Cahn in The Harbinger Companion with Study Guide page 115:

It was in Federal Hall, New York City, that the American nation as we know it came into existence. It was on its balcony where Washington was sworn in as the nation’s first president. It was there in its chamber where Washington gave that prophetic warning. Today, in New York City, on Wall Street, facing the New York Stock Exchange, stands a statue of Washington. The inscription on the pedestal reads as follows:

On this site in Federal Hall, April 30, 1789, George Washington took the Oath as the First President of the United States of America

On that founding day, the two sites, Federal Hall and St. Paul’s Chapel (Ground Zero), were joined together. On September 11, 2001, the two sites were joined together again. When the twin towers fell, a shock wave moved from Ground Zero to Federal Hall, putting a crack in its foundation—in America’s foundation—the place where Washington’s prophetic warning was spoken as to what would happen if the nation ever turned away from God.

Do you believe the crack in the foundation of Federal Hall on September 11, 2001, reveals a crack in the foundation of America? (Tweet that!)

Do you receive this as a message and a warning from God?

The Miracle of September 11, 2001: What Was Left Standing

St. Paul's Chapel after 9/11 attacks.
Image found on internet with no credit.
St. Paul's Chapel, a Christian church, owned all the land now known as Ground Zero. (Tweet that!) But that's not all. Here's more:

All around Ground Zero every building was either destroyed or ruined—all except for one. One was protected. It was called "the miracle of 9/11." What was it? It was St. Paul's Chapel, the little stone building in which America was dedicated to God. And why was it protected? There was an object that absorbed the force of the calamity and protected the church. What was it? It was the harbinger, the Sycamore of Ground Zero, the Sixth Harbinger, that shielded the church both from the force of the implosion and the flying wreckage of the falling towers.

America Was Dedicated to God in 1789 at Today's "Ground Zero"

St. Paul's Chapel, New York City

Last post we looked at the first collective act of the newly formed American government was to gather for prayer.

The location of St. Paul's Chapel? You will find this fascinating! Here's more from Jonathan Cahn in The Harbinger Companion with Study Guide page 114:

They gathered to commit America's future to God at the corner of Ground Zero. In fact, the very ground on which the twin towers stood was church land. They dedicated America's future to God in a little stone building, St. Paul's Chapel, which still stands there to this day.
And it was on there, on America's consecration ground, that the Sixth Harbinger, the Sycamore, had grown. It was into that soil that the Erez [Cedar] Tree was planted in place of the fallen tree.
Thus, on the day that America's foundation was laid and the nation's future committed to God's "holy protection," it happened at precisely the place where, on 9/11, His holy protection was, in part, withdrawn.

Please come back for the next post on Saturday to see what happened to St. Paul's Chapel during the attacks of September 11, 2001.

America's First President's First Act: Leading the New Government to a Christian Church for Prayer

St. Paul's Chapel, New York City
By Farragutful (Own work) via Wikimedia Commons
After the new president, George Washington, finished delivering the first presidential address, his first official act was to lead the Senate and the House of Representatives on foot in a procession through the streets of the capital, which was New York City. (Tweet that!) They walked from Federal Hall, the site of the inauguration, to a little stone church: St. Paul's Chapel. (Tweet that!)

This little chapel still stands to this day, which is amazing in itself because of its location and connection to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. (Tweet that!)

Jonathan Cahn wrote this in The Harbinger (page 206):

It stands now much as it did on April 30, 1789, when America's first government entered through its doors. It was here that the nation's first president, Senate, and House of Representatives bowed together in prayer to consecrate the new nation's future into the hands of God. This is the place where the new nation was committed to the Almighty; this is America's ground of consecration.

Of course all of this took place in the new nation's capital. But in 1789, the capital of the United States of America was not Washington, D.C., as it is now. No, back then America's capital was New York City.

In the next post we'll look at the connection between St. Paul's Chapel and the events of September 11, 2001.

Part of George Washington's speech in the first ever presidential address was this:

"No people can be found to acknowledge and adore the Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of men more than those of the United States. Every step by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency… 
"It would be peculiarly improper to omit in this first official act my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the universe, who presides in the councils of nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that His benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the people of the United States a Government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes."

The Day America's First President Was Inaugurated: A Proclamation to Prayer

"Federal Hall front" by Hu Totya - Own work.

How good is your knowledge of American history?

America declared its independence in the year 1776. However it would be several years before that independence became a reality and even more years before the Constitution was written and put in place. (Tweet that!)

America, as we know it – with a president, a Senate, and a House of Representatives – came into existence on April 30, 1789. (Tweet that!)

Here are some interesting quotes from The Harbinger about that day:

"It was the day that the nation's government was completed as set forth in the Constitution, the day America's first president was inaugurated." (The Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn, page 199.)

This proclamation went forth: (Tweet this!)

"On the morning of the day on which our illustrious President will be invested with his office, the bells will ring at nine o'clock, when the people may go up to the house of God and in a solemn manner commit the new government, with its important train of consequences, to the holy protection and blessing of the Most High. An early hour is prudently fixed for this peculiar act of devotion and is designed wholly for prayer." (The Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn,page 202.) 


And so our nation was bathed in prayer on that first day of its existence. (Tweet that!)

Governor George Pataki Echoes Vow of Defiance Against God

New York Governor George Patacki and other at
ceremony laying the cornerstone for the
Freedom Tower, July 4, 2004
From Landmarks of Prophetic Truth
Last week we looked at the connections between the words spoken by America's national leaders in the days and anniversaries following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on America, and the words spoken by national leaders of Israel in defiance of God quoted in Isaiah 9:10. (Tweet that!

America's leaders have echoed that ancient vow of defiance against God and that's what we've been exploring. (Tweet that!)

But there's more.

Part of America's vow of defiance includes rebuilding the towers that were knocked down. Nearing the third anniversary of the attacks, the cornerstone for the Freedom Tower was laid and celebrated in a ceremony in New York City on July 4, 2004. (Tweet that!)

In his speech, Governor George Pataki reiterated that vow of defiance (Tweet that!) by speaking these words:

"Today, we, the heirs of that revolutionary spirit of defiance, lay this cornerstone…"
(From The Harbinger Companion with Study Guide page 42 as well as The Harbinger page 75, both by Jonathan Cahn.)

U.S. Vice Presidential Candidate John Edwards Quoted Bible Prophecy Verse Isaiah 9:10 in Speech on September 11 Anniversary

John Edwards Pittsburgh 2007" by Mike Murphy (MikeMurphy)
Own work. Licensed under CC BY 3.0 via Wikimedia Commons
This week we've looked at the words American leaders spoke in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. (Tweet that!) Tuesday we saw another comment by then-Senator John Kerry. (Tweet that!) Thursday we witnessed Senate Majority leader Tom Daschle quote Isaiah 9:10 in his speech. (Tweet that!)

Fast forward three years to the third anniversary of the attacks. Again, I'm quoting from The Harbinger Companion with Study Guide by Jonathan Cahn, pages 54-56 (emphasis added):

The date was September 11, 2004. The event was the third anniversary of the 9/11 breach. The speaker was the senator and vice president candidate John Edwards. The place was America's capital city of Washington.

Speaking at a gathering of congressional caucus, Edwards uttered these words:

"Good morning. Today, on this day of remembrance and mourning, we have the Lord's Word to get us through:

The bricks have fallen
But we will rebuild with dressed stones
The sycamores have been cut down
But we will put cedars in their place..."

By quoting Isaiah 9:10, a major American candidate for high office had precisely uttered Israel's ancient vow. He had meant it to be a positive inspiration to the audience. He or presumably his speechwriter didn't read the context. No one realized that in quoting the text, he was unwittingly highlighting America's defiance in response to calamity, following the exact pattern set by Israel’s original defiance revealed in the text. In other words, the utterance joined the Assyrian invasion to 9/11 and America’s post-9/11 defiance to Israel’s defiance in the face of God’s judgment.

Even more amazing, the entire speech delivered that day was built around that same ancient vow. Edwards took the objects of Isaiah 9:10, the sycamore, the cedar or erez tree, and the hewn stone, and used them as figures or symbols of 9/11, America's response to 9/11, and what he believed to be national resurgence…

Intending to deliver an inspiring address, he was unwittingly pronouncing judgment on America.

There is so much more going on here…about the sycamore and cedar (erez) trees, and the hewn stone. If you haven't read one or both books by Jonathan Cahn, I strongly suggest you do so: The Harbinger (presents this material in fiction) and The Harbinger Companion with Study Guide (nonfiction).

Since then…

John Edwards served one six-year term as a Senator from North Carolina. In 2004 he became the Democratic candidate for vice president of the United States with running mate for president Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts. In 2011 Edwards was indicted by a grand jury on six felony charges of violating federal campaign contribution laws to cover up an extramarital affair to which he admitted after his 2008 campaign. He was found not guilty on one count and a mistrial was declared on the remaining charges. Currently John Edwards works at his law firm he started in 2011 with his former partner, David Kirby, and his daughter Cate.

U.S. Senator Tom Daschle Quoted Bible Verse Isaiah 9:10 in Speech on September 12, 2001

Senator Majority Leader tom Daschle
September 12, 2001
Image from YouTube.com
In the previous post we looked at then-Senator John Kerry's words in his speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate the day after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and how his words paralleled the defiance against God echoing from ancient Israel in Isaiah 9:10. But John Kerry was not the only United States leader who made a speech that day. (Tweet that!)

If I may simply quote a short portion of Jonathan Cahn's book The Harbinger Companion with Study Guide, because he explains it so succinctly:

On the morning of September 12, 2001, a day after America's calamity, the al Qaeda breach, the US Senate and House of Representatives, the representative bodies of the entire American nation, issued a joint resolution in response to 9/11. 
After the resolution was read, condemning the attacks, expressing condolences, and calling for unity, a war against the terrorists, and punishment of the guilty parties, the Senate majority Leader, Tom Daschle, the highest representative of the nation's highest legislative body, rose to speak. 
At the end of the speech, Daschle uttered the following: 
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 all of us at times like this… 
The bricks have fallen down,
But we will rebuild with dressed stone;
The fig trees have been felled,
But we will replace them with cedars. 
(The Harbinger Companion with Study Guide by Jonathan Cahn, pp 57-58.)
Could it be clearer? On the day after the terrorist attacks 9/11, on the floor of the very place that represents all the people of America, Isaiah 9:10 was spoken to us and on behalf of us.

However, this Bible verse is not something that pleases God. Rather, it is a statement of defiance against God!

This is not a coincidence. This is not a mistake. This surely was not planned by Tom Daschle. (I'd really really really like to know who the speech writer was. Just curious.) But as I said in my previous post, this is God showing up, whispering to all who will listen, making Himself known, through the leaders He has put in power over us. (Tweet that!) He is using them and guiding their every word.

Is that not a display of the answer to prayer of those who pray for our leaders as we are commanded to do in the Bible? (Tweet that!) Of course it is.

Do not worry. God is at work. We are in His hands. (Tweet that!)

If you think this is the only time one of our leaders quoted the Isaiah 9:10 passage in a speech, it's not. (Tweet that!) Come back on Saturday for another dose of Isaiah 9:10.

Then-Senator John Kerry's Biblical Prophetic Statement the Day After September 11, 2001

2005: "John Kerry senator from MA-2" by Kenneth C. Zirkel
Own work.
Licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0 via Wikimedia Commons 
In last week's posts we explored the important spiritual connections between the words of our leaders and the impact these words have in real ways on our nation.

If John Kerry's words, "If Allah wills it," surprised you, there are many more examples of similar statements by leaders in America that you need to know about. These include incredible spiritual statements made by America's leaders after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. (Tweet that!) We will look at three of these this week, beginning with another statement by John Kerry the day after the 9/11 attacks.

In the hours and days following the terrorists attacks and the fall of the twin World Trade Center towers, many (if not most) Americans held a spirit of defiance – we would not allow this attack to go unanswered. We would respond. For me, that reaction is completely understandable and I was right there among everyone else.

It is important for me to say that I do not blame any U.S. leader for the words they said or in any way think they did anything wrong. They did not even know they were being used by God in those moments. (Tweet that!)  But God was and is using these leaders to communicate, in His often-quite ways, to all who will listen. (Tweet that!)  Here's what happened…

At the time, John Kerry was a senior Senator from Massachusetts. On September 12, 2001, the day after the 9/11 attacks, John Kerry delivered a speech on the floor of the United States Senate in response to the 9/11 attacks. John Kerry said:

"I believe one of the first things we should commit to -- with federal help that underscores our nation's purpose -- is to rebuild the towers of the World Trade Center and show the world we are not afraid. We are defiant!"  
(The Harbinger, page 63, 256; also The Harbinger Companion with Study Guide page 40, both by Jonathan Cahn.)

But who, really, are we defying?

I, John Kerry, and certainly everyone else meant our defiance against the terrorists. But is that what really is taking place?

In the years since, an amazing network of facts have emerged, detailed by the work of Jonathan Cahn in his book The Harbinger (presents this material in fiction) and The Harbinger Companion with Study Guide (nonfiction). If you're not familiar with Jonathan Cahn's work, this is fascinating material. I’m sharing from his work and I highly recommend you read his books if you haven’t yet. If you are familiar, you may, as I am, appreciate a review of these facts and details in history.

Let's suppose for now that this terrorist attack of 9/11/2001 were, in fact, allowed by God in order to get the attention of America, a nation that was founded on His principals and that is straying away from Him. (Tweet that!) Just suppose.

Now, if that were true, then our defiance would not be defiance against terrorists, but rather defiance against God. (Tweet that!)

I don't know how that strikes you. You may react with skepticism, anger, or curiosity. But let's just explore the possibility. Because Jonathan Cahn has uncovered some amazing parallels that support that possibility. I'll be detailing these in future posts.

This possibility is based on a Scripture verse: Isaiah 9:10.

The setting is ancient Israel. Dateline: 732 B.C. At that time in history, the nation of Israel is divided into two kingdoms: Israel in the north and Judah in the south. The brutal Assyrian empire (modern day Iraq), led by Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser III, attacked and sacked the northern kingdom of Israel. This could only happen if there was a breach in the "wall" of God's promised protection of Israel…which occurred because Israel was straying away from its foundation on the One True God.

After this breach, the leaders of Israel refused to see this as a warning from God. Instead, this is what the Bible records Israel's leaders as saying:

"Who say in pride and arrogance of heart: 
"The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with hewn [quarried] stones. The sycamores have been cut down, but we will plant cedars in their place." 
(Jonathan Cahn's translation of Isaiah 9:9b-10 found on page 49 of The Harbinger Companion with Study Guide.)

Fast forward to the day after al Qaeda, based in Iraq which is ancient Assyria, attacked the United States. (Tweet that!) A senior leader in the United States Senate firmly announces:

"[We] should…rebuild the towers of the World Trade Center and show the world we are not afraid. We are defiant!"

Not convinced 9/11 was a parallel warning from God? Then please come back on Thursday for the next post and some amazing evidence of this parallel.
