(Isaiah 9:11-12a). Nevertheless, we must apply the command of 1 Thessalonians 5:21 to Cahn’s claims. But it was not simply a matter of bright, believing minds creating a nation and dedicating it to God; Israel was a nation created by God Himself, who entered into a covenant with them at His own initiative. The key to decoding the harbingers, he says, is found in understanding the seemingly innocuous words of Isaiah 9:10 (King James Version), what it meant to Israel and how the history seems to be repeating itself in America today. The Terrorist. This harbinger is also verbal, but it is not about what is, but what is to come; a prophecy. But if it is the Isaiah 9:10 effect, how come the “second shaking” came before the “initial breach”? The key to decoding the harbingers, hesays, is found in understanding the seemingly innocuouswords of Isaiah 9:10 (King James Version), what it meant toIsrael and how the history seems to be repeating itself inAmerica today. The Norway spruce may indeed be an erez tree, but it is not enough simply to have an erez tree; the harbinger was an erez tree replacing a shaqam tree. Ridiculous; defiance by definition requires intent. (Isaiah 10:5,6) “O, Assyrian, the rod of Mine anger, and the staff in their hand is Mine indignation. The only new thing that has to be said is in regard to Cahn’s new introductory spin, in which he has again misunderstood the Bible. holds the key to the timing of the judgment on a nation. THE HARBINGERS Based on Isaiah 9:10, – “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycamores are cut down, but we will plant cedars in their place,” the northern 10 Tribes of Israel refused to repent after they were struck by the Assyrians – which was a warning from the Lord. Again, he is wrong, as the following chart[19] shows: As can be seen from the chart, oil prices did not skyrocket after 9/11; in fact, they did not duplicate the historic high of 1981 until 2005 (and, in real terms, not until 2008). The mystery of ancient Israel is now gonna replay in modern America. If it can said at all that there is an “Isaiah 9:10 effect” it must be determined by what Isaiah 9 actually says, and that is that lack of repentance is followed by one and only one result: Destruction. The entire nation was involved in this existential struggle, through, inter alia, conscription and rationing. That is what we will do. The ninth harbinger is the vow in the form of prophecy or “The Prophecy” … the vow, the ancient vow, is to be proclaimed in America by an American leader in the capital city, and it’s proclaimed prophetically in advance of what is about to happen. The law of witnesses concerned judicial inquiries to discover the truth about what had happened in a past event; it had nothing to do with three people speaking in order to make something true. : Does Isaiah 9:10 Really Contain an Ancient Mystery That Holds the Secret to America's Future? The United States is no more special in God's eyes that any other country. The choice is to be with or without God for eternity and is only a heartbeat away. At this point one is reminded of 1 Thessalonians 5:21 (“Test all things; hold fast what is good”) and one has to wonder at the widespread enthusiastic reception of Cahn’s case in light of the fact that it is so obviously without merit. The terrorists that attacked America on 9/11 comprised fifteen Saudi Arabians, two from the United Arab Emirates, and one each from Egypt and Lebanon – nary an “Assyrian” (read Iraqi) among them! Who say in pride and arrogance of heart: It happened because it had to happen. How could this possibly become our response? It is about presenting the nine harbingers of Isaiah 9:10 and showing that these are now being manifested to America, who needs to repent while there is still time. (Mary Lake, Florida: Front Line, Charisma Media/Charisma House Book Group), 2011, [4] Brown’s claims to this effect are documented, for example, in Abanes, Richard. He utters the words of ancient Israel and he closes the speech with these words; he says this: “That is what we will do. But there is a passage in the Bible from Isaiah that I think speaks to all of us at times such as this: The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars.

Cahn states that “In Israel’s history, the people would be driven from the land, and the land would rest, and God said, ‘Now the land is gonna keep its Sabbaths, or Shemitahs,” though in point of fact this happened only once, when the people of Judah were exiled to Babylon; it was not a pattern or a principle. Clearly, Cahn believes that the harbingers he sees in Isaiah 9:10 are genuine and constitute a crucial message for his nation. All these things manifesting, the sixth and seventh harbinger together, and nobody is planning this out, nobody is, is figuring it out, nobody’s saying, “Let’s do this with this”; it’s just happening. America was dedicated to God on the corner of Ground Zero … America’s consecration ground is Ground Zero. Sycamores are not mentioned.

What was ancient Israel’s ground of consecration? God is necessary only as a First Cause, and after that is studiously ignored. The Americans suffered seven killed and 2,493 captured, whereas the total Canadian casualties were two wounded. The only possible conclusion here is that Cahn has utterly failed to make his tendentious claim. Having sketched out in detail what he sees as a clear warning from God, he urges his fellow Americans to heed the warning, citing the promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14: “… if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”, “He is calling America,” says Cahn, “just as He called Nineveh.”.
