Jonathan Cahn: The Shemitah That Was and the Shaking to Come

My great and true friend Rabbi Jonathan Cahn and I agree that it is time for an update on the Shemitah and it’s impact on this world.  In my heart there is still an urgency to prepare for what is to come.

We have spent hundreds of hours studying the signs of the times, reading God’s word and looking at the events that are right in front of us. We have warned of financial repercussions and have seen incredible signs of the falling apart of our financial system.  But there is no one that can speak about the Shemitah that was and the Shaking that is to come better than Rabbi himself. I urge you to take the time to read this message and pray for discernment.

“Know that in all things, God remains absolutely on the throne. And the one who lives in His will, lives and stands on the winning side. Now is not the time to be silent, fearful, or compromised, but to be all the more strong and all the more bold.”  ~ Rabbi Jonathan Cahn

Jonathan Cahn: The Shemitah That Was and the Shaking to Come

I believe it is important to give an update.

I have given warning concerning judgment. I have said that I believe America is rapidly advancing toward calamity—that we have crossed the line in our apostasy and defiance of God. I’ve warned that if America continues in its present course, if there’s no return to God, its crown as head of nations will be removed and that I believe a great shaking is coming to this nation and the world.

As for when these things are to take place, I have from the beginning always issued a strong caution, in spoken word and in writing, from The Mystery of the Shemitah itself onward—specifically that we cannot be dogmatic about timing, and that nothing has to take place on a particular date or season, or according to any set calendar, or even as God has done before.

I have ministered that it is wise to be aware of the signs and seasons of the times, and that though such things can take place on biblically relevant times or dates, nothing has to happen on any particular date, whether within the parameters of the Shemitah or in its wake. Our focus must be not on dates but on God and getting right with Him.

At the same time, we remain in a dangerous period—and one of the reasons I’ve always cautioned regarding dates is that I never wanted such focus to obscure or minimize the larger picture: that regardless of what does or does not happen a particular date, America is racing toward judgment.

In The Mystery of the Shemitah, I share of biblical patterns which, at times, have had stunningly precise manifestations. Each of the last two Shemitahs has climaxed with the greatest stock market point crashes in history on the same exact biblical daya once-in-seven-year day that happens to be appointed in the Bible for the effecting of financial remission and nullification. It remains a stunningly and eerily precise historical reality.

And precisely because it is so precise and because it happened in the last two of the Shemitah’s cyclesmany saw it as an absolute that a massive stock market day crash had to take place on the next such day, September 13. Thus we have cautioned repeatedly that this particular manifestation and any particular manifestation does not have to occur in every or any one of the Shemitah’s cycles.

 At the same time … having said and having said again all these things—there are a number of very large and significant facts to be noted: 

The Shemitah of 2015 has, in fact, followed the most prevalent of the Shemitah’s templates. 

What was missed by most in focusing on only one day, was that the largest and most prevalent of the Shemitah’s templates has, in fact, manifested. The Elul 29 day crash is only one of several manifestations, an exception and a minority template. In each of the last seven of the Shemitahs there has been a collapse—but only two of those seven collapses have involved an Elul 29 day crash. The majority have taken place according to a much larger template.

The larger and, by far, the predominant of the Shemitah’s templates is that of a long-term collapse, a collapse taking place over the course of several months, or one in which a rising stock market comes to an end, peaks within the Shemitah year, reverses its momentum, and begins a continuous descent. This descent may, at times, involve increasing volatility and dramatic day crashes, particularly in proximity to the Shemitah climax. And this is exactly what occurred in the Shemitah of 2015. 

*The 2015 Shemitah has followed this larger and predominant of the Shemitah’s patterns, a template that appears in the book repeatedly.

Following the Shemitah’s pattern… 

– The Shemitah of 2015 ended a rising stock market on May 19, a market that then reversed its overall momentum and began a long-term descent for the rest of the Shemitah year.

– As it approached its final phase, the stock market and its descent grew increasingly and dramatically volatile.

– Nearing its conclusion in late August, the Shemitah produced some of the most dramatic days in stock market history—most notably what would be called Black Monday—and which would trigger the collapse of stock markets throughout the world.

– The Shemitah of 2015 produced the greatest stock market intraday collapse in world historya crash of over 1000 points.

– It would usher in the dramatic financial collapse of the world’s new economic engine—China.

– The collapse of China’s financial realm alone constituted one of the greatest long-term stock market crashes in history and, by itself, would make 2015 one of the most significant of Shemitahs.

– The amount wiped out from the Shanghai Exchange, in the space of just a few months was over 40 percent.

– The amount wiped out by the Shemitah of 2015, from the U.S. market, from its peak to Elul 29, would approach 2 trillion dollars!

– The amount wiped out from international markets in the same period would exceed 5 trillion dollars!

In many of the Shemitah years, the turbulence and collapse continue and may intensify past Elul 29, into the period of the Shemitah’s wake. In others, they do not. But whatever happens from this point forward, the Shemitah has already and again powerfully manifested.

Other key manifestations that have marked 2015 as an especially significant Shemitah year:

The Mystery of the Shemitah chronicles how the Shemitah has marked the shifting of world power. So it was again. The American Age began in 1871, when it became the strongest economic power on earth. Within the parameters of the Shemitah of 2015, that era has officially come to its end.

– The Shemitah of 1973 became a milestone in America’s moral and spiritual collapse as the Supreme Court legalized the killing of the unborn. The Shemitah of 2015 was no less a milestone in this fall—as it was the year that the nation’s hedges protecting the biblical definition of marriage collapsed across the land, and were then, by the Supreme Court, conclusively struck down.

I have said that I believe it is wisdom to be prepared and that regardless of what happens, it is always wise to have essentials on hand—and yet that each needs to be led by the Lord in such things. For you who have done so, I believe you’ve been wise and are prepared and better off than you would have been otherwise. Regardless of what the future holds, it is a wise insurance that can always be used. And of course the most important preparation one can do is to be right with God.

I have said and repeat now that we stand as a nation in danger of judgment. The Shemitah is one template by which judgment may be manifested. Whether or not what is yet to come will be joined to what has happened in the most recent Shemitah, I believe that this nation is in and approaches days both critical and perilous. I see ahead, apart from the hand of God, days of apostasy and persecution, and, by the hand of God, a great shaking.

At the same time, God’s heart is salvation. And the purpose of shaking is to bring to repentance, salvation, and revival to those who will come. At this point I believe it is only through shaking that a true and great revival can come.

For you who would seek safety, the word for safety in Hebrew is Yeshua. And Yeshua is the name of Jesus. Thus the only way to be safe is to be in Jesus, Yeshua. As for you who are in Yeshua, the safest place to be is in the will of God. Make sure that’s where you are.

Know that in all things, God remains absolutely on the throne. And the one who lives in His will, lives and stands on the winning side. Now is not the time to be silent, fearful, or compromised, but to be all the more strong and all the more bold. When the night comes and the dark grows even darker, it is then time, for the lights of God to shine even more brightly. Be strong and of good courage. Proclaim the good news of Messiah. And pray for revival but don’t only pray for revival—Live in revival.

And as the apostasy progresses, as America races to judgment, as the biblical signs, principles, and harbingers of judgment continue to manifest, and as the events of the last days continue to unfold, I will, and we must, continue to sound the trumpet and the alarm, to call to repentance those who will come, and to draw the lost to Messiah Jesus, Yeshua, who remains the same yesterday, today, and forever and the only answer, the only way, and the only hope America has and all have, to be saved.

26 thoughts on “Jonathan Cahn: The Shemitah That Was and the Shaking to Come

  1. As we listened to Rabbi detail the moving of the Altar of Satan from Perganum, to Berlin, to Russia we were amazed at God’s allowance of the evil that spilled out of Germany, Russia over the earth. Where os the Altar today? Where was it move after Stalin’s death?

  2. I believe that the Lord revealed to Jonathan Cahn how Gods Harbingers were taking place in AMERICA. He rose him up like another Joshua, to speak to the people, leading us in regard to where we are headed as a nation. The last two seven year cycles were very dramatic. This cycle did not exceed the other two. We are now in the year of Jubilee which means restoration. Could the warnings to AMERICA have changed to judgment instead of warning.. Warnings will end sometime and switch to judgment . Would the year of Jubilee be a reasonable time to look for the change. If so, does Americas deal with Iran and the 150 billion dollars we are going to give them mark the start of our judgment? The deal was not stopped by congress during ALUL 29. We know that the outcome of conflict with Iran and the world will lead to Israel being restored to her God. Maybe Restoration and judgment are perfectly timed to happen together! God help us if warnings are slowing and judgment is replacing them. However, the end result will be perfect restoration forever more through our Lord Jesus Christ!
    .

  3. I think Rabbi Cahn was correct and in the year of Jubillee the Harbingers are over and restoration has begun for America and Israel. The start can be seen with the Iran deal and the 150 billion dollars we are giving to our enemy!

  4. Jesus physically fulfilled the 1st 4 Biblical Feasts in His first coming. He will physically fulfill the last 3 Biblical Feasts at His second coming. Some of the previous opinions are based on replacement theology. Antisemitism is a sin.

  5. I agree with John Shorey, except for what the falling away is. I’m in total agreement with him. I think the woman of Revelation 12 is real. She starts a reformation of the church cause the church fell away. The church will see a real reformation, we are in the reformation now. Maybe the Year of Jubliee has something to do with some truth coming out for the true church. I think the woman’s real and she will be eventually taken for 3 1/2 half years to people that have food because it says they will feed her. I think we need to do what Micah 7:5 says to do, especially when it comes to following guides and having confidence in guides (people we follow). We need to especially becareful of people who are not doing the Word of God because that is a talltale sign of a false Christian. I don’t use NIV bible, so I notice that when TV shows do. We are at the very end of the falling away now, the very very very end of it. I do not believe the Nation of Israel is the woman of Revelation 12, I see no sign of that whatsoever. I see nothing that supports that teaching, which that teaching comes out of the false churches anyway. I’m not sure when the rapture happens but if the woman is taken somewhere for 3 1/2 years then John Shorey may be right, might be mid trib. It doesn’t really matter. God really doesn’t want us to know when it is or else He would have made it plain to us. I think that what we are seeing happen in the Middle East right now will usher in the antichrist. I think we are there.

  6. I believe the great shaking is happening now at this time. People are so self absorbed they don’t see the truth that is right in front of them at this moment in time.I know of people that are suffering very hard times right now. God has mercy on others, when people do not have mercy on other people. Their own family members have no compassion for them, and relishes in their own families defeat. Thank goodness God is the judge and Jury. God is so merciful. I think the people that are turning toward God with their hearts having nothing to worry about he will protect them. The others that are doing it alone in life, I hope they return to God very soon. Judgement is coming!!!!!!!!!!

  7. Thankful for Rabbi Jonathon Cahn. The LORD is using him in miraculous ways. His amazing stand to the Supreme Court Justice’s. After he prophesied warning to them, they went ahead and did what they wanted. His cry to the Church, to repent and turn to GOD.
    Shaking and judgement are coming, may it turn the Church back to GOD, to Our first love, with all our heart. To be true witnesses of Jesus Christ, and help in the end time gathering.
    I stand with the Rabbi. GOD BLESS HIM AND AMERICA AGAIN.

    Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, may those that love thee be made secure.
    Psalm 122:6

  8. I don’t know what is going to happen to America. Our churches are demon possessed, that’s the worst thing of all. Even above homosexuality and abortion. So repentance needs to start at the false churches and I doubt it will. I don’t see any of these churches or church people or pastors even remotely interested in repenting. People just aren’t interested in it. I can tell you my opinion about America is probably different than a lot of people’s opinion. I see it that one person did repent in the USA, that was me. I see one person did come to the total truth. I did humble myself, pray, seek God’s face, and turn from my wicked ways. And God promises if I do that, He will heal my land. The bible says that God will spare a city for just one righteous person. So my opinion about what could happen to America is a lot different than most opinions. I have hope for America. I hope God spares it. I hope in God’s mercy, graciousness, and loving kindness toward us. I hope that some people can still be reached yet.

    • One thing I can say is that we are still here yet and God’s wrath hasn’t fallen yet. This is a VERY GOOD THING! We had a normal day today! I’m thankful for every normal day we have still. Here are some good things that America has going for it. Without many people knowing it a revival has taken place across our land. Many people over the years have left the Laodicean churches and done things like homechurch. Voices, like my own, have spoken out for years about the Laodicean churches. It may have taken me years to figure out exactly what it meant to have demons in my church, but one thing I knew from the first day I saw them. I knew something was dreadfully wrong! It took me 31 years to put all the puzzle pieces together while that dragon tried to do everything in his power to basically kill me for what I saw. America is the land of freedom where people like myself have been able to come into the real truth and be murdered for it. And America has let me live here. I know of no other nation in the world that does that. America has been kind to the Jewish people, at least we will not suffer what Russia is going to suffer because of how they have treated the Jewish people.

      I stand on one promise “THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST THE CHURCH”

    • I agree that one of the main reasons God’s judgment wasn’t poured out in a more dramatic way this last Shemitah year, is that thousands of unseen Believers stood in the gap and prayed for mercy on this nation, thanks to prophets like Jonathan Cahn and all the discussion on the Jewish biblical cycles..

  9. Jim and all who might be interested, on the Oct 8th , todays comments there is an explanation of what
    could be a reason to explain about the Shemitah–go to Z3news headline—NDAA 2016 Now headed
    to Pres. OB for Approval–go down to comment section under Patrick, Oct. 13th-14th!! See what you think.

  10. aight no we are not under the law but GOD has chosen Israel and their feasts as a time table and as a sign of Biblical events of which the shemitah is one of those cycles…so is every 7th 7 years called the jubilee which is significant. God also made the moon and stars as lights in the heavens for signs and times and seasons. Those of us who study the whole Bible as in the Old testament is Jesus concealed and the New Testament as Jesus revealed. Another FYI during the 1000 year reign of Jesus from the throne of David in Jerusalem….we will all observe these seasons and feasts and high holy days or there will be no rain on their fields if they do not…so don’t be so quick to throw the baby out with the bath water or be so narrow minded that you miss a move of God just because it doesn’t happen on your time table or the way you think it should look.

  11. I see people with little knowledge correcting spiritual leaders and it aches my heart. Rabbi Jonathan Cahn was surely called to warn God’s people. Yet their are those who still with little knowledge crucify with their mouths. Stop and learn, we live in difficult tine, and God has chosen a humble leader to help those who have ears to hear. Truth is john 8:31-32

    Revelation is now …you should get a good bible teacher!!!!

  12. Jesus said He didn’t come to do away with the law but to fulfill it. Yes, Jesus died for our sins but there are still consequences for our sins. If we fail to repent, then judgment comes. Billy Graham stated that if America didn’t repent and turn back to God, then God would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. Hermit Mary

  13. Right on Valerie Bible Teacher…you don’t have to believe in the Shemita…and it is OK if others do!
    Someday you may realize there is a connection between prophecy in the Old Testament and the New Testament. When you do see these things unfolding maybe you will remember the warnings that were once given to the public. Thank our Lord for His graces. Only the Father knows the times but He has allowed us to know the season. We are to be prepared…HE SAID SO! and thank God for people like Rabbi Cahn who keep us updated. Should we be in fear? NO! Should we be prepared? YES! spiritually and physically!!!!!!!

  14. Jonathan is warning the world and the country that is away from God that judgment is coming in the hopes that they will repent. When people are not in God, the law is the schoolmaster to bring them to Christ. He is sounding the alarm that God has given him to sound, and he is not under the law as you insinuate. He is warning people to get right with God. America was dedicated to God by our first president, and America is following the same path that Israel did in departing from God and judgment is definitely coming. America needs to be warned, and this man of God has been asked to speak to both houses of Congress, the world leaders at the UN and the presidential prayer breakfast which he did. His warning was given in each speech. He is a watchman on the wall, and I thank God for this man’s courage.

  15. We do not follow a “shemita” !!! We read and study and follow the New Testament. We are under grace and not the law. The shemita is part of the law-we are not under the law or curse . We are in the new covenant-the new testament. The teachings of the new testament say what will happen before the “Day Of The Lord” in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2-that the falling away and the revealing of antichrist will happen before Christ comes. We should be more concerned about these 2 events that are prophesied to actually happen than to a shemita based on the old covenant that we are not under. I cannot read this stuff and remain silent-there are these teachers that always want to put you back under the law-and under a curse but Jesus Christ who hung on that old rugged cross became a curse for us in our place. Read, study and believe what the New Testament teaches us and be set free!!!!!!!

    • Your message echoes a lot of Christians’ thoughts and words that I have heard many times over the years. It is a common misconception to believe that when Jesus died, He ended the Old Law’s authority,
      But, that isn’t why He came in the Flesh in the first place… Jesus Himself said that He did not come to do away with the Law, but to fullfill them…. Matt 5:17 also see Luke 12:49, John 6:38, and there are Paul’s writing of the Epistles that I do not have time to look up, but you can yourself. See, Man was so rebellious and disobedient that God Himself had to manifest Himself in the form of a man and take on all the sins of the World and disease, to save us from ourselves. He never disobeyed God’s Laws, He set Himself as our example to follow.
      With all the proof that the Lord has allowed Men like Rabbi Cahn to present to the World for our own benefit, how can anyone refuse to believe the very truth that is right in front of them?

    • Your reply echoes many other Christians’ beliefs… I have heard many such statements over the years. It’s a common misconception that Jesus’ death made the Old Law nul and void, however that is not why He walked this Earth. The Lord Himself said that He did not come to do away with the law, but to fulfill it… Matt. 5:17… also see Luke 12:49, and many others……
      Mankind was so rebellious, and disobedient to God’s Laws that He Himself created Himself in the form of a man, to not only make a way for us to be redeemed from our own doings, but also as an example to us, because, you see Jesus never acted out against one of God’s Laws. He obeyed every one of them. There is a verse in the Bible that tells us that at the very moment that God died on that cross, the veil was torn from top to bottom… and many misconscrue that to mean that that did away with with the Commandments of God, or the very orders that God gave all of His Creation ( which includes the Shemita laws) But the veil that was torn was our inability to come to the Throne of Grace one on one with God, and not through an intercessor, as the priests were before.
      And how much more now that we have been given this Fullness of Grace, should we not want to ignore God’s wishes upon His own Creation? Who are we to decide when God changes His mind….Which He rarely does, by the way, and never has concerning His Laws.
      With all the obvious proof that the Lord has allowed Folks like Rabbi Cahn, to share with the World, as a benefit to us, that is staring you in the face, how can you choose to ignore the facts, and not believe the Truth?

    • Please don’t be upset, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn is a precious and anointed minister. Please realize he has stepped into uncharted territory and God is leading him. Never before have I seen God move a man of God in such key places to proclaim the truth of what is happening in this country. I am 61yrs old, I have a fantastic memory of yes the “good old days” and they are gone with the wind. Please understand that this Rabbi is not ignoring the New Testament. We can’t throw the baby out with the bath water. We can’t throw the Old Testament out. No, No , No and I have a great respect for the price that Rabbi Cahn is paying to deliver the messages he has and will continue to. I would suggest rightly dividing the Word and please be careful to touch not God’s anointed Psalm 105:15 KJV ” 15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. Please know that this something that God has orchestrated and not Rabbi Cahn.

    • Just saying! Things happened in 7 year cycles before the law was given like Joseph and the 7 years of famine. Seven were good years, seven were famine and that was economic. That was before the law. The book of Romans says Jesus Christ is the end of the law but yet we still will celebrate the some of the feasts in the 1,000 years reign. The book of Romans says who for those who can believe Jesus Christ is the end of the law. The book of Hebrews says that blood of goats and bulls couldn’t not be affective for the law, it wasn’t enough, it had to be the blood of Jesus Christ. God can be God! And evidently He has chosen to do things in 7 year cycles because it is fact that He has the past like 70 years, you can see it! If you can figure out this mystery, you are better than I am, I’ve been trying to figure it out for years! Why when Romans says the law was done away with do we celebrate some feasts in the 1,000 year reign??????? I know the law was done away with, that was the first thing the Holy Spirit taught me.
