Follow up on the Shemitah with Jonathan Cahn - Part 2 (Video)

Jonathan Cahn, Author of The Mystery of the  Shemitah
In my previous post I shared comments from Jonathan Cahn, Messianic Rabbi and author of The Mystery of the Shemitah, following up after last month's Shemitah on Sunday, September 13th. These quotes came in an article at CharismaNews.com.

Today, I'd like to share a recent video with Jonathan Cahn as he gives an answer to those who are wondering why "nothing" happening on the Shemitah September 13, 2015. (Tweet that!) He has an important message to share.

I felt his video contains important answers as well as interesting information. So I hope you'll take just over 10 minutes to hear what he has to say. (Tweet that!)

This video was posted to Youtube by a user called "The Cutting Edge 2." I'm a bit surprised I couldn't find it on Jonathan Cahn's official Youtube channel and I wonder why he wouldn't have it on his own page. Perhaps I'm not using the right search terms and simply didn't find it.

In any case, I hope this video will continue to be available for you to view:

Follow up on the Shemitah with Jonathan Cahn - Part 1

Jonathan Cahn, Author of The Mystery of the  Shemitah
Since the Shemitah on Elul 29 on the Jewish or Biblical calendar took place, which corresponds to Sunday September 13th on our calendar, I've been waiting to hear some commentary from what did -- or did not -- happen. (Tweet that!)

I recently found two items from Jonathan Cahn, author of The Mystery of the Shemitah. One is this article linked below.

The second is a video which I will share in the next post.

Personally I think there was a lot going on in the world connected to the Shemitah -- it just wasn't in the headlines saying anything like, "Stock Market Crashes on the Shemitah"! (Tweet that!) But there were headlines nonetheless, and as the results and realities become visible, I'll share them as I find reputable commentary.

A recent article in CharismaNews.com, "Is the $11 Trillion Market Loss Tied to the Shemitah Cycle?" (October 9, 2015) by Jennifer LeClaire, opens with: 

There's been a lot of talk about the Shemitah. Some say nothing happened, yet $11 trillion in global stock market wealth was wiped out during the third quarter of 2015.

The magazine talked to expert on the Shemitah, Jonathan Cahn, to follow up on the Shemitah:

Cahn says. "As the Shemitah began approaching its last phase in the summer of 2015, the markets of the world began collapsing. In a short space of time, the Shemitah wiped away a stunning 40 percent of the Chinese stock market. Toward the end of August came "Black Monday" and stock market collapses all over the world. In two days, Wall Street had collapsed 888 points."

(Tweet that!)

Please come back for the next post in two day when we'll hear a video message directly from Jonathan Cahn with an update following the 2015 Shemitah.

Follow Up on The Shemitah with Rabbi Jonathan Cahn (Video Post)

Rabbi Jonathan on set with host Sid Roth

A friend shared this video with me and I thought it was a great follow up to the Shemitah. This is Sid Roth's show, "It's Supernatural." His guest for the show is Messianic Rabbi  Johnathan Cahn, author of the The Mystery of the Shemitah.

I thought it was a great conversation and recap of the information we've been exploring here on the blog for the past year regarding the Shemitah. Of course there is a lot more new information, including info on the Jubilee year. (Tweet that!)

I was amazed to hear Jonathan Cahn talking about our future, these coming next few years, and the schedule of the End Times. (Tweet that!)

Whether you've been following this blog for a year or longer, or whether this is all new to you, I think you'll enjoy this video very much. (Tweet that!) There's review and recap for those who have followed these things. There's explanation and teaching for those for whom the Shemitah, Jubilee, and all of this is brand new. Plus there's new information as well. (Tweet that!)

This video is rather long -- it runs 1 hour and 16 minutes. But I'll tell you, the time went by fast! Because it's so interesting. You can probably end after the first hour and not miss much. There's a lot of content in the final 15 minutes that makes me uneasy and I don't really subscribe to.

(Disclaimer: While I'm posting this on my blog, that does not mean I agree with everything Sid Roth teaches, for example that everyone should pray in tongues and, while I do believe God can heal anyone, I think it can be dangerous to imply people will be healed by certain people or by, for example, holding a certain book. I'll leave those parts to your discernment.)

This video was recorded before the Shemitah and was posted on YouTube on September 4, 2015.

Enjoy the video:

What the Shemitah Judgement Would Be FOR

Since August 13, we've been looking at some of what author Jonathan Cahn lists would be manifestations of a Shemitah judgment in America. While we’ve been looking at what might happen, what it would look like in the physical realm, what is the point of all this? Why would God do this? What’s it all FOR?

In his final item on his lengthy list, author and teacher Jonathan Cahn, in his book The Mystery of the Shemitah, writes this (page 243):


"The judgment will call America back to God."

(Tweet that!)

This is what it's all about. This is what it's all for.

The judgment can be avoided if America would do this without the judgment falling. (Tweet that!)

What do you think? Can that happen? Will it? (Tweet that!)

What Would a Shemitah Judgement Look Like? It Would Touch Every Realm of Society & Life


We touched on it in our conversations on July 11 post, What Author Jonathan Cahn says about the Coming Shemitah Falling on a Sunday (Part 4). But the author revisits this topic and lists it as the #21 item on his list (The Mystery of the Shemitah, page 242).

Jonathan Cahn says these judgments will:

"…will touch not only the financial and economic realms but every realm of society and life."

Again, this encapsulates the heart of the Shemitah, what the Shemitah is all about. It's about resetting, about bring a people of God back to God. (Tweet that!) It's about letting things fall if they are not in line with God. It's about setting things right. (Tweet that!)

In the next post we'll talk more about what it's all FOR.

What Would a Shemitah Judgement Look Like? A Sign of Driving God Out of America

In the previous post we were talking about how author Jonathan Cahn writes a Shemitah "judgment will make clear the link between America's physical and material realm and that of the spiritual." We talked about how there is always a connection between the physical and the spiritual.

I find the nineteenth statement on Jonathan Cahn's list (The Mystery of the Shemitah, page 242) to be closely related:

"The judgment will manifest as a sign against a nation that has driven God out of its life, rejected His ways, and pursued material blessings and idols in His place."
In addition to the recent legalization of same-sex marriage and long-ago legalization of abortion, another thought this one brings to mind is America's educational system – from pre-school to the highest levels of our educational system.

I keep hearing about how text books and curriculum have changed American history to teach no mention of God in events such as the first Thanksgiving. Christians in our history are vilified, even though most of our founding fathers were indeed Christians, held God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ in highest regard, and actually formed our nation to honor the One True God of the Bible. (Tweet that!

Of course there are many other areas where America, starting at the top with the leaders, followed by Americans who are strongly influenced by those leaders, have driven God out of our nation.  (Tweet that!

What areas or realms come to your mind?

What Would a Shemitah Judgement Look Like? Turning Things Right Side Up or God's Side Up

In my posts here since August 13, we've been talking about some of the items author Jonathan Cahn listed on pages 240 – 243 in his book, The Mystery of the Shemitah, that would take place in a Shemitah judgment. For me, this item he lists brings it all together. This is what it's all about. This is the heart of it all:

"The judgment will make clear the link between America's physical and material realm and that of the spiritual."

There is always a connection between the physical and the spiritual. (Tweet that!)

For example, when Jesus spoke to Nicodemus about being born spiritually and starting an eternal spiritual life with God, He related it to physical birth. Yet those are two different things: this temporary physical life and the eternal spiritual life.

Another example is the miraculous healings Jesus performed when He walked this earth. These obviously had a physical manifestation for the recipient of the miracle, but it also had a spiritual counterpart. The miracle was intended to bring many people into an eternal, spiritual relationship with God, not merely give a temporary physical healing that would only last until the death of the person.

Therefore, the entire point of the Shemitah is to make clear the link between what happens in the physical world with the spiritual realm. In other words, the choices made in Americas in the physical world have consequences in the spiritual world.

Furthermore, these choices affect many more than the individuals who make them. (Tweet that!) Individual Justices on the Supreme Court have made decisions and put into effect physical realities that affect us all – such as effectively legalizing same-sex marriage. Another example is the legalization of abortion in 1973.

However while the Justices made these decisions, even against the wishes of many if not most Americans, we will all suffer the consequences. (Tweet that!) You may not think there are consequences, but there are. And they are taking place in the spiritual realm and will manifest in the physical realm. (Tweet that!)

In a Shemitah judgement, these will be seen clearly. (Tweet that!)


I find the nineteenth statement on Jonathan Cahn's list to be closely related. We'll look at that one in the next post.

What Would a Shemitah Judgement Look Like? Altering the Landscape

In several posts now, we've been taking a closer look at the list of manifestations author Jonathan Cahn wrote in his book, The Mystery of the Shemitah, that would take place in a Shemitah judgment. On page 243, Jonathan Cahn wrote:

"The judgment will alter the landscape of nations and powers."

The very next manifestation Cahn lists is this:

"The judgment will involve and affect the rise and fall of great powers."

At first the landscapes I thought of were "political landscapes," meaning the political powers we see in the world today. (Tweet that!)  His next statement, the rise and fall of great powers, seems to confirm that.

But upon further thought, I wonder, could it be literal landscape? By that I mean, of the land? Could the landscape actually be altered, as in a large earthquake? (Tweet that!

Nothing says it couldn't be both.

I'm just thinking out loud. What do you think?

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!)

Could a Shemitah Judgment Involve a Shaking of the U.S. Supreme Court?

U. S. Supreme Court Building with facade
Oblique facade 3, US Supreme Court by Daderot -
Own work. Licensed under
Public Domain via Wikimedia Commons
Remember that author Jonathan Cahn wrote his book, The Mystery of the Shemitah, in or prior to 2014. The book was published in 2014 and I know that the publishing process takes a while.

Remember also the things that have transpired in America and the world since then.

The twentieth item (page 242) on Jonathan Cahn's list of manifestations America can expect should a Shemitah judgment take place is this:

"The judgment will cast down the objects of America's pride and glory."

What are objects of America's pride and glory? (Tweet that!

When I read this, I think of: Gay pride.

Since the book has come out, Gay pride is on the rise. The Supreme Court of the United States effectively legalized same-sex marriage across the nation on June 26, 2015.

It was also the Supreme Court of the Untied States that legalized abortion on January 22, 1973.

America has proudly called abortion "a women's right to choose."

But everyone with a brain and a willingness to think even a little knows this is the killing of a human baby. For those who were not willing to think, the recent disclosures via videos of Planned Parenthood officials harvesting, selling, and profiting from human body parts from dismembered babies clearly shows the hideousness of what is going on in the abortion clinics of America and the world.

When a shaking from a Shemitah judgment comes – and don't forget that one of the meanings of the word "shemitah" is "shaking" -- I would not be surprised if it shakes the building of the United States Supreme Court. (Tweet that!) Besides a physical shaking of the actual building, I can imagine a more symbolic shaking as in a "shake up" of  those Justices who sit on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Would not turnabout be fair play? The judgments of the U.S. Supreme Court has certainly shaken America. (Tweet that!

Around the top of the building of the U.S. Supreme Court, etched in its stone, is a mural of Moses holding the tablets of the Ten Commandments which where etched by the finger of God.

If you know the story, when Moses returned from the top of the mountain where God gave him the Ten Commandments written in stone, Moses found the people of Israel engaging in every sinful indulgence. They were breaking God's Law is so many ways. In his complete frustration with unrepentant sinners, Moses threw the tablets down, literally breaking to pieces the stone tables of God's Law.

Perhaps God will throw down the United States Supreme Court Building, or its etched facade, since it has made a mockery of God's Law and allowed the people of the United States to "legally" by man's law, engage in every sinful indulgence. (Tweet that!

Is not America's "freedom" and justice system an object of America's pride and glory? (Tweet that!) I put the word "freedom" in quotation marks because our freedom is not, as many people seem to think today, an ability to do whatever we please. Instead, American freedom was intended to allow people to do whatever is RIGHT – and the standard of "right" is what is right in God's sight, that is, the One True God of the Bible. (Tweet that!)

Finally, if a Shemitah judgment will cast down the objects of America’s pride and glory, do we not call America’s flag "Old Glory"?  (Tweet that!

The Entanglements, Attachments, and Bondages of American Politics

I think many people who hear about the Shemitah view it with much fear. But never forget God is good, kind, and gentle and He only increases the hardship on people when they refuse to acknowledge Him. (Tweet that!) Then He turns up the pressure in order to get their attention and bring them to Himself, which is a further manifestation of His goodness, kindness, and gentleness. (Tweet that!)

Another manifestation of a Shemitah judgment in America author Jonathan Cahn gives in his book, The Mystery of the Shemitah (page 241) is this:
"The judgment will release entanglements, attachments, and bondages within the nation and among the nations."

How might this look in America? The first thing that comes to my mind is our Politics.

In American, politics have become so convoluted they can no longer function. Over the years, some politicians have become so entrench that we will never be able to get them removed. Part of this includes the favors owed to them and the favors they owe. One example is the votes they have promised to give or get on certain issues. This why we can get nothing good done. (Tweet that!)

Many politicians, (dare I say most?) no longer vote for what is good for America or what is best for their constituents. Rather they vote on who owes who favors. It's the trading of "political capital" meaning political power.

What if all this owing and paying was wiped away?  Would this not be a good thing?

Don't misunderstand. I'm not saying it wouldn't be painful for our country. But to wipe clean entanglements, attachments, and bondages within nations would give us a chance to start fresh. And hopefully not make the same mistakes of "borrowing" and "owing" political power. (Tweet that!)

Related to that, at least in my mind, author Jonathan Cahn also notes on page 242 that a Shemitah judgment would...
"…wipe away structure of culture, of systems, of civilization."

I think of our structure of political culture, our political system, and it seems to be to be so entrenched in corruption now that, even though we have good people trying to make inroads, perhaps nothing will be able to make an impact soon enough unless it is wiped clean. (Tweet that!)

What if… God created a hard reset? What if it was time to start over? (Tweet that!)

The Shemitah: When the World Ceases to Function Introduce the Mark of the Beast

In the previous post we looked at  one result author Jonathan Cahn says would happen if the Shemitah manifests as a judgement in America: the leveling of accounts. Another interesting point Jonathan Cahn makes in his book The Mystery of the Shemitah (page 241) is this:

"The judgment will cause a cessation of functioning and an ending within America and the world."

What might this look like? (Tweet that!)

Would our economy come to a stand-still?

Would buying and selling cease? (Tweet that!)

If or when the world economy ceased to function, wouldn't this be an excellent time for world leaders (who are in fact evil, but I would think that fact would be hidden to most people at this time) to introduce the Mark of the Beast? (Tweet that!)

If world economies ceased functioning so that no one could buy or sell anything, no one could pay bills or buy food, I believe this would be the perfect set-up for Mark of the Beast scenario in Revelation 13:16-18:

It [that is, the false prophet] also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. 
This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.

In addition to the quote from author Jonathan Cahn above, he further states (page 242) of a Shemitah judgment in America:

"The judgment will strike America's economic and financial realms, and that of the nations."
We've seen strikes on America's economic and financial realms in the previous two Shemitahs. What might happen on the coming one?

Wouldn't Leveling Imbalances and Erasing Accounts Be a Good Thing?

In his book, The Mystery of the Shemitah  on pages 240 - 243, author and Rabbi Jonathan Cahn gives an amazing list of 26 general, yet quite specific, statements we can expect to take place in America, and the world with America as its leader, if the Shemitah manifests as a judgment from God.

Let's discuss some of his points and what they might look like if played out. (Tweet that!) For example, the eighth item on his list (page 241), should the Shemitah manifest as a judgment from God is this:

"The judgment will level imbalances and erase accounts within the nation and among the nations."
What comes to you mind? Here's what comes to mine:

President Barack Obama has amassed a tremendous debt during his presidency. It is truly mind-boggling. Or beyond mind-boggling even. It's more debt than most of us can comprehend.

Now please don't say all presidents do this. They don't. One way to get a grasp on how much debt the Obama administration has accumulated during his 6 ½ years as president is to see that this president's debt equal as much as ALL U.S. PRESIDENTS COMBINED since the country was founded and the first president, George Washington. This is shameful.

We've seen what is happening in Greece. That is just a preview of what might happen in the U.S.

I believe our biggest debt is owed to China.

So what would it look like if all imbalances were leveled and all accounts erased among the nations? (Tweet that!)

Jonathan Cahn also writes that a Shemitah judgment would ...

"annual, transform, and wipe clean the financial accounts of America and the nations" 

... and the judgment

"will cause credit to go unpaid and debt to be released within America and the world."

The way I see it, for American people this might be a good thing – being released from the tremendous debt our leaders have put us into. (Tweet that!) But what would our country look like afterwards? And what would it mean for the countries that hold our debt? (Tweet that!)


I don't know the answers to those questions.

Nothing HAS to happen on the Shemitah

The Shemitah 
I know many people are wondering just what is going to happen on the Shemitah. Many people, even Christians, are viewing it with fear and trembling. (Tweet that!) All these posts are not intended to scare you. They are intended to prepare you and cause you to examine your faith in Jesus Christ and grow closer to Him. (Tweet that!) Come whatever may come, He is our protector, our peace, our everything.

But it's possible nothing will happen at all. God is not locked in to doing anything. (Tweet that!)

Hear what author Jonathan Cahn has to say on this:

Again, as stated before, we cannot expect prophetic happenings to show up on a regular schedule or to perform on cue. Nothing significant has to happen within the Shemitah of 2014-2015. The phenomenon may manifest in one cycle, and not in another, and then again in the next. And 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.

(The Mystery of the Shemitah, page 40.)

Notice what he says about the focus of this entire exercise God is doing in and through the Shemitah. It is all about calling people back to God. (Tweet that!)

It is about repentance. Repentance is turning away from what you are doing that is sin and turning to God to walk forward in life without that sin. It's about doing better. Repentance is about stopping one behavior and going a different direction. What do you have in your life that you need to repent of? (We all have something.)

Mr. Cahn also says the Shemitah is about "return." It's about returning to God – the One True God, that is. We're talking about Jesus Christ. There is no other God. The Shemitah is about returning to Him.

If individuals and/or nations return to God, disaster can still be averted. (Tweet that!)

If individuals and/or nations refuse to return to God, then God will take the next step to cause us to want to turn back to Him. (Tweet that!)

He's turning up the pressure. You're going to have to make a decision. (Tweet that!)
Are you going to be one of God's people? Or are you going to choose to ignore Him or refuse Him? (Tweet that!)

There's only those two ways to go: Follow Him or refuse.
