In the April 4 discussion, as well as in email correspondence, the author has stated that he does not believe that America is the âNew Israelâ or has replaced Israel in Godâs program. If I missed three words that had the potential to gave the wrong impression out of over 200 pages, I think that is very good. Without the saints of God in this country, this place would be tore up from the floor up. Another significant issue is that in The Harbinger, the distinct impression is that Israel was *permanently* destroyed by God’s judgment – because the book moves from Israel being destroyed and then jumps to America and her impending destruction – with no mention of the promise of their future restoration in Isaiah 9:6-7 and no mention of modern-day Israel anywhere in the book.

My point was never to argue facts in the Bible or what people have written to refute the bible which you know are out there. 'The Harbinger' and Biblical Discernment Here it is :”..with all my respect to anyone else’ opinion but to me it is an abomination to listen to someone who makes the main character of his book consult a man who specializes in “mystical Hebrew writings”. I apologize for the Greek logic comment but I believe that to be at the heart of what is holding people back from seeing truth. Now, for coming against him for that, I believe, places you in danger of the chastisement of God. All Cahn did was notice that this verse describes America’s attitude after 9/11, that various American politicians even quoted it in connection with 9/11, thereby declaring the same attitude of nonrepentance it describes of Israel, and that certain physical “harbingers” also appeared in America that emphasize the same message: That America is in defiance of God, refusing to acknowledge that we are under judgment and that 9/11 was judgment, a first warning judgment so that if the nation doesn’t turn back to Him there is to be more to come.

What you fail to understand is everything you have stated is based upon your cessationist perspective that makes null and void Acts 2:39 “For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himselfâ which makes it necessary for you to go on the defensive whenever discussing anything of God beyond the issue of one’s salvation. Take a look at his chapter that is supposed to be about salvation – it does not mention faith, belief or trust even one time – and neither does it mention the resurrection of Christ apart from which there is no gospel. I do believe that the rapture will very likely cause the collapse of America economically, politically and militarily – which will leave Israel unprotected – and that the ensuing worldwide chaos will precipitate the rise of the Antichrist as the protector of Israel with the confirmation of the 7-year peace treaty (Daniel ch.

One who goes before a prince to declare his coming and provide entertainment; a harbinger; a pursuivant.

(v. t.) To usher in; to be a harbinger of. This is why so called Christians know when they lie, deceive, and do so many other sinful things, but think its okay since they always hear in their place of worship…”We Are All Sinners”.

I do not know enough about Hebrew culture or its mysticism to make a contribution to whether or not this book is “valid”, but I do know enough about the Bible to know that it [Bible] was inspired by God Himself and can be applied to many circumstances in our daily lives, that is one reason we have the Bible. No country(Kingdom), according to the Bible was set up by God, only allowed. Would it not be more wise to conclude that Pentecost was the power given them [Church] as it was given to Jesus before He began His ministry which kept Him faithful to the end in His allegiance to His Father? I’m reminded of when Jesus was in the synagogue and read Isaiah 61:1-2. ] The original purpose of the nine seals was to warn the Northern Kingdom of Israel of progressive stages in Godâs judgment as prophesied in Isaiah 9:10.

With this particular way of being “revealing” Scripture for years, he finally touched sensitive American issues, like 9/11, American history and the increase of ungodliness, in his best-selling book, with an intriguing title, as expected from this “mystery man”. I fully understand that my response to any given “harbinger” may be more or less convincing – and I do realize that some arguments are stronger than others. There is nothing wrong with calling a nation back to repentance – but the book doesn’t even explain how to do that.
