Sid: I have Rabbi Jonathan Cahn on the telephone and he is revealing the mystery of the Shemitah, a Biblical mystery that’s been affecting our world, our lives. It’s actually been affecting us from the very beginning of our lives. We’ve seen how it’s determined the rise and fall of the economy, the stock market, the crash on Wall Street even 9/11 but Jonathan says it’s even bigger than that. Tell us about it Jonathan.
Jonathan: Yeah, this mystery its not only now in the economic realm has been affecting that, but just as in the Bible that this thing actually was manifested in the year 586 BC that during the Prophet Jeremiah when Jerusalem was wiped out; the cities are wiped out you know all of this happens. Because the Bible says that it is linked to this mystery of the Shemitah. And we’re going to see today, we’ll look at one mystery of that which is called the mystery of the towers. And this is it goes back to the tower of Babel and that is that Genesis 11 they say “Let’s build this tower and make our name great!” And in Hebrew the word for tower is Micdoul and that comes from a Hebrew word Godoul which literally means greatness. So towers are linked to greatness, their linked to power and so they’re actually linked to pride as well. But the connection the Bible is that towers are about man trying to be great but they can actually mark the rising of a nation or a power and it can mark the falling of a nation or power. And now could this apply to America this mystery of the towers? And could it be linked to the Shemitah? Well here’s the thing up until the…in the 18 century up until you know the latter part the tallest buildings, towers of the world were all in Europe. But there was a change, in the year 1870 comes the greatest, the tallest tower in the world that is it is the first sky scraper. It is built on America soil literally built in New York City. This is the first time America built the highest tower in the world 1870. Well, could that be linked to the rising of America? Well the amazing this is that same year is marked as the beginning of America’s rise as the great industrial tower in the world. And the very next year which is the year 1871America over takes the British Empire and becomes the greatest economy on earth which it really has changed history up to this day. And so it all begins so the ancient mystery in the Bible is that tower is linked to greatness or power. So it actually marked the rising of America. Now if you go on from there what happens is that America from then on is building the highest towers on earth. And it goes on as America gets powerful and more and more powerful in the 20th century it builds higher and higher towers. And when you get to the year 1930 and 31 you got this explorsion of towers; in this little period you have 4 towers that have the crown of the world’s largest, you know tallest building all in America. And the last one is the Empire State Building built in 1931. Well, here you have that going on as America is getting more powerful but at the same time the time that this happens is the year of the Shemitah. Now here it’s going to combine, you got the towers which are saying we’re getting higher and stronger it speaks about rising. And then you’ve got the Shemitah which speaks about humbling man, you know we’re not about pride, humbling and it speaks about falling and collapsing. Well, this mystery is going to go all the way up until our day because what happens is America after the war the Second World War it’s going to become the strongest, the greatest superpower on earth. And then in the same year that that happens 1945 they have an idea to build another tower. And this tower is going to represent America as the center of the world, it’s called the World Trade Center. 1945 is also the year of the Shemitah so here the world trade center, the towers are begun their conceived in the year of the Shemitah. They begin building it in 1966 it’s beginning, it happens to be the year of the Shemitah. It’s finished in 1973 which is the year of the Shemitah. It was built for 7 years, the 7 year cycle that’s the years of the Shemitah, the Biblical Shemitah which is about collapsing. And then finally moves forward and you get to 2001 and the tower is destroyed in the year of the Shemitah. What is the mystery of this thing? Well here is the thing is that again towers, now think about 911, towers are speaking of you know the nation is great, we are great we made a name for ourselves we are rising. But the Shemitah is humbling the nation, it’s speaking of collapse. In fact when you read in the Bible about the days of judgment you read again and again it speaks about the judgment about the high towers because God is humbling a nation. And so you have September 11th the tower collapse and at the same time Wall Street collapses. This is the 2 interesting mysteries of the Shemitah that not only are you collapsing the economic realm it’s literally collapsed towers. And so you have this happening at the same time and at the same moment the era where America was building the highest towers on earth comes to an end in the year 2000. And we have so far been eclipsed. So here now get to the prophetic, what does this mean. If the rising of the highest towers on earth speak of the rising of a power, a great power America’s rise what does the falling of the tower represent. Well what it would represent prophetically it’s a warning of the fall of America. And it’s a warning of not only the fall of the economy but of the American age as we know it. And on top of that all after 9/11 America said “We’re going to build yeah another tower and this time we’re going to rise higher and higher and this other tower that is still going up Sid and this is also linked to the mystery of the Shemitah, this tower is one of the harbingers of judgment. And it most likely will be finished in the Shemitah that’s coming upon us very soon.
Sid: Now what is happening at ground zero right now?
Jonathan: Right now this tower has eclipsed the tower that they’re building which and remember for those that know the harbinger or those that don’t this tower corresponds with what happened in the last days of Israel when Israel said “We’re going to rebuild higher and stronger after this attack.” And it ended up sealing their destruction. Well this tower at ground zero, this tower is being finished and it’s the same thing it said “We will rebuild, we’re going to grow stronger and bigger and higher.” And what’s happening is this is…it’s eclipsed the Empire State Building and it actually eclipsed the building on the date that was written in the Harbinger before it happened. So it’s really fulfilling this thing and that tower at that tower things have continued to happen some of the harbingers we spoke about that have continued since the book have happened concerning that harbinger. In a sense that’s the last of the 9 harbingers. It came into existence when America’s leaders on Capitol Hill actually pronounced this ancient vow of judgment, this is Isaiah 9:10 “That we will rebuild…” Well, it’s actually the epitome of this vow of defiance. And nobody know exactly when it will be finished but it could very likely be finished within this coming year which will mean that it will be the year of the Shemitah. I would…we were going to talk about the future I would keep my eyes on that because this is a tower of defiance and with Israel it actually brought destruction.
Sid: I have a question for you Jonathan. Do you feel almost like an Old Covenant prophet with the mystery of the Shemitah as you proclaim it?
Jonathan: Well, I feel…I just feel humbled by…
Sid: I know the humble business and I understand that but I feel you’re being just like an Old…you’re being like a Jeremiah. I mean the revelation you have no human could get that it has to come from God.
Jonathan: Well, I wasn’t looking for it Sid and I was literally standing at the corner of ground zero and when I saw one of these harbingers I didn’t know what it was and something said there’s a mystery there. And from that moment it was like everything was…I was led to see and find everything. I mean when I needed something the next thing was to happen somebody would say the word or something would appear. So I know…feel that this thing was being led and at every moment it was like when I started writing literally Sid the book wrote itself. I’d never written a book the Harbinger wrote itself. And now the Shemitah, by the way the Shemitahs just finished in a month and a half of doing it on the road it just happened the same way as “The Harbinger” it just came right through and I hardly had to do anything.
Sid: I really believe and if people don’t understand the message that you have “The Mystery of the Shemitah” and especially the combination of the teaching seminar that you did and we have an exclusive on it this is only place you can get these 7 CD series called “The Mystery of the Shemitah” it’s covering material not in the book. But you need the book so therefore we’re going to give it to you free. We’re going to give the book free to you if you buy this 7 CD’s teaching series which we have an exclusive on… Let me tell you the things that are not in the book that are in the series that are vital, you really need both of these. That’s why we’re bonusing the book to you. The sign and sealing of God’s judgment against America very precise the mystery of what’s coming to the world. The Elijah strategy, in order to stand in view of what’s coming; I mean you don’t even have to be a prophet to see how quickly America is deteriorating; I mean it’s deterioration right before our very eyes it’s so scary. I just read in the newspaper one of the largest mangers of a mutual fund in America said “What is going on with our Federal Reserve the decisions they’re making we were coming out of our recovery but now it seems that every decision is forcing us to go lower and lower we’re headed towards a big depression.” Everything is talking about this right now….
Sid: Jonathan in a nutshell what is the mystery of the Shemitah?
Jonathan: The Shemitah is a…was a 7th year that God gave to Israel and He said “You’re going to rest and it was just a Sabbath year on the last day of that year called Elul 29 if the Shemitah builds up to it’s climax and all financial counsel wipes away it’s like the great day of nullification Elul 29 everything is wiped away. Well, it’s to be a blessing but when Israel turned away from God what happens is the Shemitah becomes a key sign of judgment that is turned away from God. And what we are seeing is that this pattern that God gave has been actually or this mystery actually has been operating in all of our lives from the day that you were born and has affected our pocketbooks, it affected the economy, it has affected the stock market and has affected as we said “the rise and the fall of towers.” And we’re going to see in this one that it’s so big it’s affected the entire world and even has determined the rise and fall of towers, kingdoms, empires and is affecting the rise and fall of America.
Sid: Okay, give me some specifics.
Jonathan: Okay, well remember Sid to that in the Bible that we use the word, I mentioned the year 586 BC and that’s the year when this Shemitah comes as a judgment to Israel wipes away everything a time of Jeremiah. Well in order for that to happen it was Babylon that came and wiped the city away, Babylon had to rise as a empire. And then the Bible says that it’s going to last until Persia rises, because when Persia they take over Babylon and then the Jewish people return back to the land. So the Shemitah get what this means it’s even back then is affecting the rising of empires, the falling of empires. Now we’re going to just look at the last few in the modern time here’s the Shemitah. We are at the year 1917; now remember one of the things that it means is falling and it means shaking and it means collapse. And it could mean the collapse of nations; 1917 is a year of one of the greatest falls or shaking of the world, shaking of nations in world history it’s the first World War and the Shemitah means collapse like a power. What happens in that war the cause of the war you have the collapse of the German Empire the Second Rite, you have the collapse of the Austria-Hungarian Empire, you have the collapse of the Ottoman-Turkish Empire. That had been for centuries old and you have the collapse of the Russian Empire all of that happening in this same period and some of them are century old powers all collapse. And the key that really caused the war to end the way that it did and with at least 3 of the 4 collapses were 1917. Because that was the year that America enters the war and so 1917 is the year of the Shemitah. Not only is it the year of the fall of all of these powers but in a shaking of a world but it’s also a beginning of America’s rise to a world super power. When you look at the historian they’ll sight the year 1917 not because they know it’s a Shemitah but because that’s what it is. But because that’s the beginning that’s when America got on the stage and ended up from that war it became the greatest creditor our nation in the earth; it became the financial center in the world, shifted from Britain to America to New York City, it begins the America’s rise. So you got the falling of the nations with the Shemitah and you have the rising of the nations in the deal. So that’s 1. Now what happens if you go 4 Shemitah’s forward and I’ll tell you whenever it’s a 4 is the number 4 is linked to kingdoms, empires, the 4 kingdoms of Daniel, the 4 horns of Zachariah. If you go…
Sid: Then now, now excuse me when you say you’re going 4 Shemitahs forward that means 7 years 4 times is that what you’re saying?
Jonathan: Exactly, okay that brings you to the year 1945. What is that again the Shemitah, year of collapse, of shaking, what happens in 1945? You’re right at the peak of the II World War. The other global cataclysm we’re not just talking economies, we’re not just talking economies because this isn’t just affecting the economy it’s affecting the entire earth. And the thing is here you know and each time you have the wiping away of the powers, the wiping away of the kingdoms at each point. Well here’s the thing Hitler began his conquest of Europe in 1938 with attacking joining Austria to attacking Czechoslovakia. Well 1938 was the year of the Shemitah it goes for 7 years; that period went for 7 years it ends in 1945 so the entire thing begins and ends in the cycle of the Shemitah, the Holocaust. The fateful years is called 1938 the year of crstaloff and the first deportations. That begins in 1938 the year of the Shemitah, ends 1945 at the ending of the Shemitah. As you get to the end of II World War the entire earth is shaking now. Do you get the end it’s the summer of 1945 and the Shemitah is heading to its climatic end. Really speeds up to the end well what happens then is that you know it’s leading up to this day of nullification. Well in the month that it reaches to this day of wiping away the world enters the atomic days. The atomic bomb is dropped, you literally have the greatest power of nullification wiping away and coming to the end of the war. And the year up finally ends actually Japan says that they’re going to surrender August 15 and then they surrender on August 2nd with the very last week of the seven year period of the Shemitah as it builds to its crescendo and the armies the notorious armies have this parade, this precession celebrating the end and the day that they have it you know Russia, America, in Berlin the day is Elul 29 the very end of the Shemitah the 7th year period. In America this Shemitah brings America to the heights of it’s power, I mean it’s the most powerful nation really in history through the Shemitah. The entire world economic order is now begun in 1945 it’s called Britain Woods and it all centers around America. Well, here we have the height, we have the fall of nations and we have another rise of nations. What happens if we go another 4 Shemitahs that would be 7 periods, 4 periods of 7 — 28 years. And we end up in the year 1973. Shemitah means 3, Shemitah can mean the fall of a nation, this is a pivotal year in America because this is the year that America ruled the Supreme Court in January rules to basically to the killing of unborn children. Now for this sin basically Israel was destroyed. Well, it happens in January…
Sid: Now, just so people understand this Jonathan when you say Israel was destroyed they used to sacrifice babies to false gods which in affect wouldn’t the god of convenience be just equivalent to a false god? Which is why most woman have abortions?
Jonathan: Exactly Sid, I mean exactly that’s it. We are one of the Harbingers, one of the Shemitah’s is that we are retracing what Israel did in its days of destruction exactly. And that’s why 1933 is this turning point and also the same year 1933 America loses it’s first war in the year of the Shemitah it all happens it collapses. In Vietnam we lose our first war and by the way the date that we lost the last…Vietnam it was August 15 that was the anniversary of August 15th when we won World War II the same thing. And on the Shemitah and you know the year of the Shemitah.
Sid: Now out of curiosity Jonathan when we took prayer out of school was that connected to the Shemitah?
Jonathan: Yeah, well that was the setting of the stage that was the beginning of our early 60’s and begins this turning away from God step by step absolutely correct. But then when you reach this point that it’s led America to do exactly what Israel did and kill its own babies that becomes exact thing yes. And then that same year of that fall comes the World Trade Center is completed which is supposed to be a monument of how great America is it marks the years that America was killing it’s children. So it’s a shame at the same time it’s supposed to be a glory. And if you move one more cycle forward 28 years 4 Shemitahs you get to the year 2001 when again you have the collapse of that tower, you have this completion you have from America’s height in 1945 to its first defeat and then you have the enemy comes to American soil. These are warnings of what is coming and what’s happening Sid is that this mystery of the Shemitah is getting more and more intense, the last 2 Shemitah’s was 9/11 and the greatest collapse and then 2008 the other greatest collapse. It’s happening more precisely than ever before, it’s happening you know more intensely so therefore what that points to is we are in danger of judgment.
Sid: Okay, so that begs the question just a sentence or two what is the 7th Shemitah?
Jonathan: Okay and I think that we could do it tomorrow but I’ll just mention but there’s a whole other mystery but it’s all from the Shemitah. The 7th Shemitah leads into the Jubilee and so this mystery begins in the destruction of the temple in 70 AD and goes all the way to our day and they even point to what’s coming now.
