Elul 29 & The End Of The Age

Tomorrow is Elul 29 on the Hebrew calendar, the last day of the Jewish year 5774.  Starting Thursday (actually at sunset tomorrow), a new Sabbatical year, the Jewish "Shemitah", will begin.  Is this the 'End of the Age'?

THE MYSTERY OF THE SHEMITAH

Pastor Jonathan Cahn, a messianic Jewish Rabbi who leads Hope of the World ministries in New Jersey, just released a new book, The Mystery of the Shemitah, which focuses on the historical relationships between the Jewish "Shemitah", the Sabbatical year of rest that recurs every seven years on the Hebrew calendar, and economic and geopolitical crises.
Of particular note were the last two Shemitahs from September 30, 2000 to September 17, 2001 and from September 13, 2007 to September 29, 2008 (the Hebrew calendar year is based upon a lunar year).  Both of these periods saw substantial reversals in the stock market and economy that were capped by major crashes on the very last day of the Jewish year, Elul 29.
Elul 29 has special significance to Jewish believers in the Sabbatical year:

At the end of seven years you will make a release. And this is the manner of the release: to release the hand of every creditor from what he lent his friend; he shall not exact from his friend or his brother, because the time of the release for the Lord has arrived. (Deuteronomy 15:1–2)

Personal debts are considered forgiven at sunset on the 29th of Elul. Since this aspect of shmita is not dependent on the land, it applies to Jews both in Israel and elsewhere. (Wiki)

As noted in my September 2012 blog on the topic:

....there is an intriguing phenomenon surrounding the date of Elul 29 on the Jewish calendar.  As Rabbi Cahn discovered and spelled out in his book, The Harbinger, on this last day on the Jewish calendar in the last two Sabbatical Years, 2001 and 2008 (Sabbatical Years occur every seven years under Jewish tradition), two of the three largest point drops in the DJIA in stock market history occurred: 

The plunge of just over 7 percent or nearly 700 points on 9/17/01, or 29 Elul 5761 on the Hebrew calendar, occurred in response to the 9/11 attacks.  The drop of 777.7 points or 7 percent on 9/29/08, or 29 Elul 5768 on the Hebrew calendar, took place in reaction to the U.S. Congress failing to approve the first vote for a Wall Street bailout during the financial crisis that year. 

As pointed out in the section of my April (2012) blog dubbed, "The Mystery Of The Shmita & The Septennial Sabbatical Cycle", it's an incredible coincidence that two of the three largest point drops in the Dow struck on the last day of the seven-year Jewish Sabbatical cycle.  In fact, statistically the odds of this occurring are more than a million to one. 

So maybe God's trying to make a point with us.  What point could that be?

The Harbinger & The Assyrians

A ceremony took place Monday at Ground Zero in New York City to mark the hoisting of the final beam to the top of 4 World Trade Center, the first of the main towers to be rebuilt in the wake of 9/11:

NEW YORK (AP) — A final steel beam was lifted Monday atop a new World Trade Center skyscraper — the first expected to open at the site next year since the twin towers were decimated on 9/11.

With BeBe Winans singing "God Bless America," workers raised their hardhats in tribute as the mammoth beam rose slowly into the Manhattan sky, swaying from a steel rope hoisted by a crane.

A U.S. flag attached to the bottom of the beam fluttered above several hundred spectators at the topping-off ceremony.

This topping-off ceremony comes two weeks after a visit to Ground Zero by President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama during which the American leader symbolically inscribing one of the steel beams that will be part of One World Trade Center ("Freedom Tower") - "We remember, we rebuild, we come back stronger!" followed by his signature:


As noted in my June 14th blog, President Obama's inscription eerily buttresses the case made by Jonathan Cahn in his book, The Harbinger, that America is fulfilling a prophecy from the Book of Isaiah that forewarned the destruction of ancient Israel:

“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.”
[Isaiah 9:10]



For the majority of folk who come across Jonathan Cahn's work, one major point of doubt is the notion that the U.S.could be suddenly vanquished like ancient Israel, thus upsetting Americans' all-too lofty pride. After all, the U.S. now stands supreme on the world's geopolitical stage and has by far the most modern and powerful military. So how could we ever be taken down? 

I think, in this regard, it is important to note what world power brought down ancient Israel in fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy in the 8th century BC. Ancient Israel fell victim to the Assyrians, i.e., what is Syria in the modern world.  

Is this somehow prescient given, as noted in my prior blog, that Syria might soon be at war with Israel, America and NATO?

I believe so.

Note that when the Assyrians over ran ancient Israel, they were led by King Shalmaneser V:

This king bears an eerie resemblance to the current ruler of Syria, Bashar Assad:

Given my belief in reincarnation, this is likely not a coincidence.

Keep in mind the prophetic vision I experienced in 1991 connected to the Bible's Book Of Revelation.  It began with seeing a special report of a chemical SCUD missile attack on Haifa, Israel.  It seems rather telling that at the current juncture the nation most likely to unleash such an attack is Syria.  Indeed, there is grave concern in Israel about the threat posed by Syria's chemical weaponry:

Syrian President Bashar Assad, termed by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Joel Brinkley as the “world’s most dangerous man,” could use his chemical weapons in Israel, warns IDF’s Number Two general. 

Assad would "treat us the same way he treats his own people” if he had the chance to do so, IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Yair Naveh said in Jerusalem in a  ceremony Monday in memory of fallen soldiers. [Arutz]

Of course, even if Syria were to lash out at Israel with chemical SCUDs, few see how this could lead to the destruction of America.  Nevertheless, this is what this blog has been seeking to spell out for years, i.e., that the "Old Enemy", i.e., Russia, China and the totalitarian states of the East, are setting the stage to defeat Israel, America and the Western powers in a surprise third world war. I believe Syria is a key part of this strategy.

God's Work?

Last November, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein claimed: "I'm doing 'God's Work.'"



Well, Lloyd, I think God disagrees.

IMHO, God is sick and tired of this world serving money (Mammon) instead of Him, and this misconduct is about to be brought to a prophetic End:



Self-government without moral responsibility misleads to self-destruction.

Figure it out...
