I think this is the third book by Jonathan Cahn I have read. All of them have a lot in common: he looks for patterns in modern events, and draws parallels between those and Biblical events, often coming down to patterns in numerical calendar dates to show that one is a “type” of the others. Some of the correlations he draws are jaw-dropping; others seem like a stretch. This book was no different, but it’s even more prescient than the others, because it involves the Hamas attacks upon Israel on Oct 7, 2023, and how this is actually the resurrection of an ancient enemy of Israel, following a predictable pattern drawn from both biblical accounts.
As in his other books, Cahn focuses a great deal on the pattern of the Jubilee–how many things concerning Israel occur on 50-year cycles. We don’t actually know when the ancient Jubilees were before Israel was dispersed, because those records are lost, and I’d never seen him admit that in previous books, but he does in this one. However, I do have to admit that the 50-year cycles he’s identified since Israel regained its land, and even 50 years before that, is quite eerie.
This book also ventures into the subject of end times, though he makes no predictions regarding timing. He does imply that this attack of Hamas upon Israel is shaping up such that it *might* prefigure, or might even become, Ezekiel 38-39. Then he treats Revelation, describing Israel’s foretold fate (and how it too follows the ancient pattern) right on through to the New Heaven and the New Earth.
Absolutely compelling, and very timely!
My rating: *****
Language: none
Sexual content: none
Violence: it’s there, but factual
Political content: has to be. It’s very right-leaning, though; certainly not woke.
