Sid: We want everyone that is a true believer not to have a big fuzzy mystery about where the United States of America is at this moment; where we are at relationship to end times. If you understand the pattern of ancient Israel and even the dates and times; if you only could understand that and have a great understanding of the Old Covenant and have a prophetic revelation you could clearly see where we’re at. And that’s why I’m so excited to be interviewing my friend Rabbi Jonathan Cahn because as a Messianic Jewish Rabbi he has this insight. He was on the ground at 9/11 to examine right after it happened. He lived in Jersey, right a few minutes away and it all was put together for him. I have personally Jonathan I have never heard this revelation before it came out of your mouth; I assume you haven’t either.
Jonathan: No, no!
Sid: Now, I’ve known you for years and you have a prophetic understanding of the scriptures, but I have to think everything you ever done was for this moment right now.
Jonathan: Well, I think well, I thing that there is something too. I don’t believe I just came up with something, you’ve asked me this and you know and it’s interesting because, you know the puzzle pieces just started coming it was being lead; I mean I didn’t even know it was all going to come together. It was like I was being led on a path on a mystery that ended up whoa at the end. I had no idea; I have no question that that’s part of that is the thing here. And this is you know really, you’ve for years was a new believer spoke about sounding the trumpet and the trumpet means a thing here. And that this is really you know you’ve for years; I mean when I was a new believer you spoke about sounding the trumpet and the trumpet means a number of things. One of them is the alarm and a watchman and that’s one of the things that we are doing and I have no question this is what we are appointed to do.
Sid: You know I’ll tell you what the presence of God is so strong in this studio right now because of what Jonathan did yesterday is he showed there were warnings to Israel before destruction and it was; destruction came. And he calls these harbingers or warnings and there are nine of them. And you talked about one yesterday; how it was the stone that was at 9/11 and the ceremony and the defiant attitude of Israel; that same thing happened right in New York City with, was it the governor of New York? What was his statement?
Jonathan: The Governor of Kentucky and the Governor of New Jersey was there, the Major of New York was there and they were all there.
Sid: And tell me one of them; their statement.
Jonathan: Ones up; they basically they said that, you know that “This is the stone, I’m paraphrasing is a manifestation of our defiance, American defiance, “We’re going to come back stronger than ever.” Which is exactly what Isaiah 9:10 is all about; exactly what the constitution…
Sid: What Israel did?
Jonathan: Yes, yes in ancient times; instead of repenting, after the calamity they get harder and this is one of the signs; and there is nine of them.
Sid: Alright, well tell me a couple more signs.
Jonathan: Okay, the attack happens in ancient Israel and as in it it’s happening the Assyrians who invade the land of ancient of Israel, the warning from God they cut down the trees of Israel and they cut down one specifically one specific tree, which is the sycamore. So Isaiah opens up on it and he says the people are saying, “The sycamores have fallen.” Okay, the next harbinger of judgment is a sycamore tree has to fall or be struck down; it has to be linked to this breach of the nation’s borders. It has to somehow for this to appear in America it has to be linked to somehow 9/11 or linked in some way to ground zero. But here’s the problem, the tree of Isaiah 9:10, that ancient harbinger doesn’t naturally grow in New York; it can’t even survive in the North East. And the sycamore in Hebrew is called the schaucm; it can’t survive the winters. So this harbinger is pretty would look pretty much impossible to be fulfilled. Beyond that the fields of Israel, that’s where these fields grew, and in you know New York City, you know lower Manhattan financial district, that’s not exactly conducive to trees. So it would seem pretty impossible, but something strange happened. On September 11, 2011; as the last or the North Tower was falling to the ground; it hurls and object into the air. The force of that object and the cataclysm strikes a nearby object at the corner of ground zero. That object, that struck is a tree; on 9/11 the tower strikes a tree; sends it crashing to the earth; what kind of a tree is it? It’s a sycamore; it’s the sycamore tree; the same thing that is spoken of in Isaiah, the sixth harbinger. But you might say, “Wait a second you said the Hebrew doesn’t grow you know in New York.”
Sid: That’s what I was thinking, how did that happen?
Jonathan: It doesn’t, but the American or English version does; so the ancient harbinger of judgment is translated into the appropriate land; it is the sycamore. So the sycamore, the same sign to America; the American sycamore is manifested at the corner of ground zero. It’s amazing what happened. The sycamore, what they did they didn’t realize what they were doing, and that’s the pattern you see throughout this. It is like eerie; they without realizing they transform this fallen sycamore into a symbol; they call it the sycamore of ground zero. They lift it up, they move it, and they put it on display as a symbol and New Yorkers gather around the fallen sycamore. They make it into a sign not realizing that it already is a Biblical sign, but not of you know encouragement, but it’s a sign of warning that is given to a nation heading for judgment. It is interesting that in Isaiah 9:10 you actually see two objects that are struck; we have one is that the bricks are fallen, they sycamore have fallen as well. Well, interesting if you looked in that cut off fallen sycamore tree on display the roots are wrapped around an object and the object is a brick; the actually sycamore and the brick together on display.
Sid: The two ingredients in Isaiah 9:10.
Jonathan: Exactly, exactly and nobody realized. The amazing thing that we’re going to see is that it is just like reenacting an ancient drama of judgment. And then; but that doesn’t stop there; the ancient prophecy says; “The sycamores have been cut down, but we will plant cedars in their place.” The same thing the same principal; they you think, “You are going to humble us God, we’re going to come back stronger tree; the sycamore is weak; we are going to come back with a stronger tree and it’s going to be a symbol of our National Resurgence.” So something else has to happen; it’s again; you know it’s the spirit of defiance and the thing is that, “We will plant cedars.” So what has to happen for now the seventh harbinger is at, well this is what they do; the ancient Israel clears out the fallen sycamores and they plant cedars and they focus their vows of defiance on the cedar; it’s a symbol of their strength. So now here’s the thing, the seventh harbinger is the cedar tree, but in Hebrew it doesn’t say that, it says “The ares tree.” Which is not only a cedar, but it refers most accurately to a evergreen to coniferest or a conifer a comb bearing. And most specifically is pin pointed as the pinachia tree; which is probably the most accurate way of translating that word. It includes the cedar, but it’s called the pinachia tree. Now the seventh harbinger has to be this for that to manifest in America this fallen sycamore has to be removed and another tree has to be planted in its place and it has to be this specific tree. Now this would also seem nearly impossible because again I mean, you know New York is not known for its tree planting, at least outside of Central Park, but could this happen? And you think, you know you if you had a sycamore falling you would probably replace it with a new sycamore, but it happened. It happened on November 2003, the fallen sycamore of ground zero has been removed and now at the corner of ground zero. Now an object appears in the sky; it’s lowered on a crane; the object is a tree; it’s lowered into the exact spot where the fallen sycamore had stood. Now and it’s not a sycamore, it’s a different tree. What kind of tree? It’s a conifer, just as in Isaiah 9:10, it’s an evergreen and not only that it’s a specifically a pinachia tree the precise definition of Isaiah 9:10; “We will replace the sycamore with this tree. It was actually the sister tree of the cedar of Lebanon; the seventh harbinger replaces the sixth harbinger and like with the stone; as with the stone they have the ceremony around the tree and there they transform the tree into a symbol of defiance. They said “It represents the abominable nature of our hope.” But the seventh harbinger is fulfilled; they reenact the ancient mystery of judgment specifically replacing the exact tree, they don’t know what they’re doing, they don’t know why they are doing it, but the ancient harbinger has to be manifest. They’re saying without realizing it they’re reenacting that we are going to come back stronger than ever; God is saying, “No, if you don’t turn back to me you are going to fall.”
Sid: At what point, I’m just kind of curious, looking back, at what point did you see these patterns happening and you said, “No, no, this is more than a coincidence? Was it the first harbinger, the second, the third? When did you realize that God was giving a message that you had to shofar blast around the world?
Jonathan: I well when 9/11 happened, you know I knew this was something major and I didn’t even realize it the time when I was going to look; I was in prayer and I actually got Isaiah 9 without realizing a thing; I only realized it back after the fact. I knew that this was a serious, that this was a warning from God and there was much that started at that time. But then I started seeing the overall, and then I was walking the ground of ground zero as we were talking right on the corner, and then see that’s; when I first see that tree; that cut down tree and something says; “There is something here.” And I didn’t realize it; I look up sycamore and all of a sudden I start seeing the connection and actually the fallen sycamore is a sign in the Bible of judgment. And then it starts, and it keeps on folding and unfolding and you know I realize that something happened; I didn’t realize the full thing. In fact, you know the next time when we talk it’s going to go into something that just blew me away when I saw it; I had no idea, but clearly the reading was there. And I’ll tell you something you know of course, a great man, David Wilkerson, he didn’t go through all these things and realize it, but the scripture that he thought at the time of 9/11 was in Isaiah was the warning to Israel when a first strike of judgment comes, same thing. He didn’t realize the details, but he was led, you know the Spirit was leading that this is the word.
Sid: Well, Mishpochah consider that this bisharet moment, that means it’s a destiny moment, it’s a meant to be moment in your life; because as you understand this ancient prophecy and how it played out with Israel, you’re going to have your eyes opened and you’re going to be prepared for what is coming. And I have to tell you that no matter what happens to America if you are walking a holy life before God; standing on His promises a thousand may fall at your left hand; ten thousand at your right; but nothing will come near you; you’re going to be walking in supernatural protection. But this is the prophetic mentoring of understanding the times and seasons. We’ve never had this revelation before that’s being presented to you right now.
