Below is an amazing interview with Jonathan Cahn, author of "The Harbinger: The Ancient Mystery That Holds the Secret of America's Future," where Cahn explains in detail, how the 3,000 year old mystery of the Shmita predicted the rise, and more importantly, the possible fall of America in 2015.
Cahn speaks to us about how the Shmita refers to a 7 year cycle which offers blessing to those that adhere to the word of God but for those that have turned their back on God, it is a judgement. He provides dates of some of the most historical world changing events that happened during the year of the Shmita, including the rise of America and by the same token, other events such as the disaster of 9/11 in 2001, the recession of 2008, indicative of the fall of America.
According to Hazon.org the Shmita year started Rosh Hashana 2014, which was September 24, 2014.
It is noteworthy that some trends forcasters, handicappers, economic gurus and investors are predicting another recession for 2015, supposedly worse than the "great recession" of 2007-2008, all basing their predictions on economic indicators, while Cahn, in the interview below bases his on spiritual and biblical indicators....... but is it possible that they are all talking about the same fall of America, just coming to their conclusions from different directions?
Which brings us to the year 2015, and the question of whether the Shmita will bring judgement against America once again.
Via Haaretz:
According to the Bible (e.g. Exodus 23:10-11) every seventh year is to be a shnat shmita. The land may not be worked, and the produce of the land may not be bought or sold. Rather, the land is to be left alone, though people may pick what grows naturally in the fields and orchards as they need. Maintenance work, such as watering and fertilizing to prevent the plants from dying, is permitted.
The rationale is that the earth needs a rest and that God will give plentiful bounty in the other six years if the rules of shmita are kept. (Leviticus 25:1-7, 18-22). In addition, in this year, debts are supposedly to be abrogated (Deuteronomy 15:1-11)...
The video below is outstanding and Cahn presents his case with intricate attention to detail and dates, and presents it all in a comprehensive manner. It is definitely a must-watch interview.
