In the Judeo-Christian traditions, THE SHEMITAH is the “Sabbath Year” and it comes every seven years. The Year 5775 in the Jewish calendar happens to be such a Shemitah, and, having started at sundown on Wednesday September 24, 2014, it is well under way.
Perhaps you are asking, “What does this Shemitah have to do with me?” Well, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, a Messianic Jew and author of The New-York Times best-seller, The Harbinger, says the Shemitah is tied to the rising and falling of nations – from ancient Israel to present day America. He has in diverse venues and occasions – like at the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast held on January 21, 2013, where he was the keynote speaker – been contending that the 9/11 attacks came at the end of Shemitah in Sept 2001, and that the economic crash of 2008 also came at the end of a Shemitah. He has been calling the Church in America and the nation at large to repentance, saying that America experienced a “fall” rather than a “rise” on these Shemitah dates because of its sins and unfaithfulness to God.
Now as this present Shemitah ends September 13, 2015, Jonathan Cahn says an even more terrible shaking will take place in America if there is no repentance – a shaking that could cost America its political and economic leadership position in the world. Could this shaking involve the collapse of the US dollar that a number of experts have been predicting? Listen to what Jonathan Cahn said in an interview with Sid Roth on his show, “It’s Supernatural!”:
Please, if you are given to faith and prayer, do #WatchandPray. Pray for God’s mercy to prevail in America and in the world. Pray that whatever shaking comes, whenever it does, God will make a WAY OF ESCAPE for you and your loved ones (1 Corinthians 10:13).
God bless you as you pray so.
