WASHINGTON – Wall Street analysts have pondered the mystery
of what appears to be seven-year economic cycles.
They’ve
also wondered why crashes seem to come in September
(6th
Month on Hebrew Calendar)
Jonathan Cahn, author of the book “The Harbinger,”
thinks he has figured it out.
In his sequel, called of “The Mystery of the Shemitah,”
the messianic rabbi reveals the shocking discovery that the five great economic
crashes of the last 40 years – 1973, 1980, 1987, 2001 and 2008 – have all
occurred in Shemitah years – those God set apart as sabbath years.
As he pointed out in his earlier book, in 2001 and 2008
they coincided precisely with the exact end of the Shemitah year on the Hebrew
calendar day of Elul 29(Babylonian name) (Hebrew name = 6th
Month.)
As he did with his previous book, Cahn announced his
findings on Sid Roth’s “It’s Supernatural” TV program – even before the book
was officially released for sale by bookstores.
What does it all
mean?
Cahn summed up his message by saying,
“America is
progressing toward God’s judgment.”
According to the Bible, the Shemitah year was set aside as
a blessing for the nation of Israel.
Like the weekly Sabbath, the Shemitah year would be a time
of rest for the land and for the agricultural society. There would be no sowing
and reaping. Instead, God would provide food miraculously for the people, as He
did during the Exodus from Egypt.
Leviticus 25:4 says:
“But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto
the land, a sabbath for the Lord: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune
thy vineyard.”
However, Cahn points out, if the Shemitah was not observed
by the people, it would become a curse, as described later in Leviticus chapter
25. That’s exactly what happened. In 586 B.C., Cahn says, was a Shemitah year,
when the Temple fell and Judah went into captivity in Babylon for 70 years.
It’s no mystery that of “The Mystery of the Shemitah”
comes out just before the next Shemitah cycle begins Sept. 25, 2014 – ending
Sept. 13, 2015.
The Shemitah can has several meanings Cahn explains. It can
mean a “release” – and in ancient Israel debts were canceled and land
returned to its original owners. But it can also mean “to fall, to collapse,
to shake,” he says.
But the Shemitah seems to be affecting the U.S. economy
throughout much of the nation’s history.
The eight greatest postwar economic crashes are all
mysteriously connected to a biblical Sabbath year pattern known in Hebrew as
“the Shemitah,” that is certain to rock the world of financial speculators,
stock market traders and economists.
Among the stunning findings of the author who found
jaw-dropping links between the 9/11 terrorist attack and an otherwise obscure
biblical passage, Isaiah 9:10, is that 100 percent of the worst U.S. economic
calamities since World War II are all lined to the “Shemitah,” the biblical
Sabbath year, its wake or the biblical 7th month in which the
“Shemitah” falls.
“It has been
affecting everything in our lives,” says Cahn. “There’s no end to it. It’s
amazing. It’s precise. It’s down to the days, the hours, the minutes, even the
seconds.”
In 1931, a solar eclipse took place on Sept. 12 – the end
of a “Shemitah” year. Eight days later, England abandoned the gold standard,
setting off market crashes and bank failures around the world. It also ushered
in the greatest month long stock market percentage crash in Wall Street
history.
In 1987, a solar eclipse took place Sept. 23 – again the
end of a “Shemitah” year. Less than 30 days later came “Black Monday” the
greatest percentage crash in Wall Street history.
Is Cahn predicting doom and gloom on Sept. 13, 2015? He’s
careful to avoid a prediction, saying, “In the past, this ushered in
the worst collapses in Wall Street history. What will it bring this time?
Again, as before, the phenomenon does not have to manifest at the next
convergence. But, at the same time, and again, it is wise to take note.”
To top it off, “Shemitah” years are also grouped in sevens
– with the 50th year being a year of jubilee – or trumpet blast.
“The jubilee was something of a super Shemitah,” writes
Cahn. “It was the Shemitah taken to a new level. In the year of the Shemitah
the land rested – so too in the Year of Jubilee.
In the year of the Shemitah came release. But in the Year
of Jubilee the release took on new meaning. It was not simply the letting go of
land or debt. In the jubilee, slaves and prisoners were set free. It was thus
the year of liberty.”
Cahn also looks at the five greatest financial turning
points of the past 40 years and finds they are connected to the Shemitah cycle.
As he puts it, “From the 40-year period beginning in 1973,
every single one of the five greatest financial and economic peaks and
collapses have converged, clustered and taken place according to the set time
of the Shemitah.”
“Something very much more than natural is indeed going on,”
concludes the understated Cahn.
“And the signs of the phenomenon all point to the same
ancient biblical mystery. If the collapse of the world’s stock markets were an
act of crime, the Shemitah would have long ago been indicted for the evidence
left at the crime scene. In its numbers, its connections, its convergences, its
percentages, its magnitude and its consistency, the amount of fingerprints
covering the financial cataclysms of modern times is overwhelming.”
Likewise, “The Mystery of the Shemitah” is somewhat
overwhelming too. The economic coincidences are only part of the story. The
book also explores the rise and fall of kingdoms and their connections with the
Shemitah cycles – its connections with World War I, World War II and the Cold
War.
But Cahn is careful not to predict what will
happen in the coming Shemitah year.
“The phenomenon may manifest in one cycle and not in
another and then again in the next,” he writes. “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.”
