Powerful, Poignant, Prophetic

“What you are about to read is presented in the form of a story, but what is contained within the story is real”. Jonathan Cahn. These were the opening words of Cahn’s 2012 book, The Harbinger: The Ancient Mystery That Holds the Secret of America’s Future.

As either a companion or stand alone DVD, The Harbinger Decoded is a must watch for every person in the United States. Jonathan Cahn, a Messianic Rabbi, was led to write the book and “gave it to God” to get it published. It has stayed at the top of many “Best Sellers” lists since it was released. This DVD is powerful, poignant, and prophetic.

The premise of the book and documentary is based on Isaiah 9:10, “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.” Cahn draws a parallel between a prophecy originally intended for Israel, and the events of 9/11 on the United States of America.

The DVD documentary follows the book and explains each of the harbingers (a person or thing that announces the coming of another) of Isaiah 9:10 and how each of them happened starting with the terrorist’s attack of 9/11. The harbingers are warnings from God to this country—America—to repent from our sinful ways. We have forgotten and even turned away from our spiritual foundations. Instead of repenting, we continue to rebel, which, I believe will lead to our (America’s) ultimate downfall.

While the book is a work of “fiction”, it is based on fact. Cahn provides supporting, evidentiary material for each of his points. The book can be a bit hard to follow at times, but the DVD makes it easy. Cahn explains each of the harbingers in an easy to understand manner. I actually wanted more from the DVD, but I understand why he chose not to make it a “bible study”. The DVD does a great job of bringing the pages of the book to “life” with actual images of the events and places detailed in the book.

Whether you are a Christian and want to see tangible examples of God’s inerrant word, or an atheist or even agnostic, this DVD is one you should take the time to watch. If you are not a believer, view this through the perspective of the writings of Nostradamus or some other futurists. Someone nearly 3,000 years ago “foretold” of these events, and now they have “come true”.

The DVD lists and explains each of the Nine Harbingers (1. The Breach 2. The Terrorist 3. The Bricks 4. The Tower 5. The Gazit Stone 6. The Sycamore Tree 7. The Erez Tree 8. The Utterance 9. The Prophecy). It also explains the importance of the Sabbatical year—Shemita (this is an economic judgment of a nation that happens on Elul 29 in Jewish or Hebrew Calendar. This is a significant event. On 17 SEP 01, just six days after 9/11, stocks fell nearly 700 points (681.81) or 7%. On the very next Elul 29, which occurred on 29 SEP 08, the NYSE exchange bell did not ring (watch video); stocks fell 777.7 points or 7%. That’s a lot of 7’s showing up. Incidentally, the next Elul 29 is 13 SEP 15; wonder what will happen then? There are several other extras included in the documentary plus a Bonus Section. This is an excellent DVD and well worth the price.

As I said earlier, every American needs to watch this DVD. I recommend buying the book as well. You might also buy a few copies of each for those on your Christmas list.
