Anyone interested in Bible prophecy unfolding around us in current events is probably aware of two books by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn – The Harbinger – and – The Shemitah. The Harbinger is a fictional story of a warning to America with parallels to ancient Israel. In the Harbinger, Cahn didn’t clearly suggest financial disaster in mid-September 2015 – but readers could have followed the progression of the pattern of divine warnings and assumed as much. In The Shemitah, Cahn very clearly analyzed the financial collapses America has experienced in seven year cycles, with major stock market crashes on the last day of the Hebrew calendar year (Elul 29) every seven years. If these events were divine warnings to America (for abandoning biblical morality; for piling on ever-increasing debt instead of addressing it every seven years as ancient Israel did) that Cahn argued that perhaps we should expect the greatest financial chastisement yet around September 13, 2015. That being a Sunday, maybe the next day. Even non-religious people paying no heed to prophecies thought it might be self-fulfilling, because so many readers expecting a crash could sell stocks ahead of the anticipated date. But we still hear crickets. The stock markets had an uneventful week. Epic fail?
Did God lose interest? Is He not going to bother chastising America? Is the whole idea of a seven year Shemitah cycle just a bunch of BS?
It is impressive to look at the crashes on the exact date of Elul 29 in 2008 and 2001 and even further back. And not just in percentage terms, but the DJIA even fell 777.7 points last time, which is symbolic given the biblical meaning of completion for the number seven. But how could anyone reconcile the meaningfulness of the past crashes on the final day of the cycle with this year’s – nothing happening?
Israel Ben Barzle and Yehoshua Ben Barzle just addressed this issue in an article titled: “The Shemitah Did Not Happen As Expected…Why?” at Beforeitsnews.com
They write:
let’s put this into proper legal perspective. The past Shemitahs in which we have seen the precise seven year pattern at work have been ultimately “corrective”. The point losses on Wall Street and the result to the economy has CORRECTED the incorrect financial imbalances of improper gains made by improper debt. The losses incurred by the date of Elul 29 every seventh year made things judicially correct. In essence, the price of not clearing the debt at the Shemitah was ultimately cleared by the Creator.
In other words, G-d has used the past Shemitah economic hits as warnings; but He has also “corrected” the transgression by forcing financial loss on the transgressor and balancing the scales. This is the ultimate goal of the Shemitah concept in the first place. The whole point of the Shemitah is to make things financially right for everyone.
So the crashes we have seen in 2008, 2001, and those prior, have had much to do with a certain legal satisfaction. America’s debt cup was full at the end of these Shemitah cycles. Naturally, we would view these crashes as punishment…and in some ways that is not too far off. But what we are missing is the fact that “technically” the Shemitah WAS satisfied by the resulting losses. Literally, the greed gains of the debt cup were emptied, zeroed, in large measure by the losses that occurred at the end of these Shemitah’s. Thus, America was given another seven year cycle with another chance to redeem itself.
Sadly, America has not learned from its many chances. And as Elul 29 has come and gone, we now find ourselves in a whole new ball game.
The pattern has changed. Elul 29, 2015 was a no show.
Folks, this is EXACTLY how the Creator did it with the Kingdom of Judah before the final fall of Jerusalem in the Prophet Jeremiah’s time. The narrative parts of the Book of Jeremiah, in essence, really revolve around two main Shemitah issues: the land Sabbath of the land of Israel; and financial debt release. Read it and see. The Old Testament spells it out clearly.
During the last years of the Kingdom of Judah, roughly around 600 BC, at the end of the seventh year Shemitah cycle, the Powers-That-Be in Judah refused to financially release the debt servants of their debt obligation, as was to happen at the time of the end of the Shemitah. On top of this, the Leadership of Judah also refused to Sabbath the Land during the Shemitah year, as was required.
So what did the Creator do? He intervened by taking a portion of the royal house of Judah and putting them into continual slavery (this is where we see the story of Daniel); and He took a portion of the Land of Israel and made it “Sabbath” through desolation—a Hebrew term meaning “not worked agriculturally”. These two aspects of Shemitah consequences were all done PRIOR to the final judgment of the destruction of Jerusalem. Literally, these acted as a corporate warning to the nation of Judah, and, more precisely, it was a temporary corrective measure to put things back in proper judicial balance according to the Laws of the Torah.
By making perpetual slaves of some of the members of the royal house of Judah, and by creating a scenario where an exterior portion of the Land of Israel was laid to desolation by the conquering Babylonians, we see that the Creator connects the consequence to the violation:
No Sabbath of the Land during the Shemitah = Land desolation, the Land rests
No financial release of the Debt Servants by the Leadership during the Shemitah = Leadership put into slavery
This exact measurement of a well-defined consequence perfectly fulfilled the judicial outlines of Torah Law, and it temporarily “corrected”, brought into balance, the corporate Shemitah transgression of the House of Judah.
Eventually, when it was clear that the Kingdom of Judah would not heed the warnings nor the consequences, the Creator had the Kingdom of Judah “judged with completion”, and this is exactly what we see in the Book of Jeremiah. We historically see the ultimate judgment of Jerusalem by a complete land desolation; and all the powers that be in the royal house of Judah and any in leadership were killed or put into permanent slavery—just like what they were perpetrating against those who were supposed to be released.
Thus, we see the Creator in the Scriptures use warning; then very definable correction; and ultimately we see a final judgment—a destruction of the violator….
And so, here now is the terrifying part….
The Creator did not “correct” it for us this Shemitah….
Our debt to others, to our creditors, is STILL OUTSTANDING this Shemitah, and our ill-gotten gains via unjust debt were not balanced out by major losses as in the past….
Nor was the personal debt cleared at the end of the seven years, the populace as a whole is still in perpetual debt servitude this Shemitah, more than ever….
Understand, the Creator has not JUDGED us in the past seven-year cycles because He has CORRECTED it mathematically for us without us even really understanding what He was doing. The past Shemitah economic hits were mercy hits. They cleared our slate to an extent and balanced the scales enough to allow us to keep going.
Now, we stand with no real meaningful mathematical correction as this Shemitah has concluded, and now we can be JUDGED. A massive debt is still owed. The debt has not been cleared. It has not even truly been balanced out as it was at the end of prior Shemitahs. We are today guilty as a corporate people.
Does this mean we won’t see future economic hits?
No way—we most certainly will—and soon. Our financial slate was not cleared and our financial issues are still hanging. But this time there will be a permanent slide down, not a correction like in the past. You see, what this means is we have gone from a “corrective” phase to an ultimate “judgment” phase. And judgment will take its final course just like it did with the ancient Kingdom of Judah.
Here Come the Debt Collectors
To put this into real-world terms, in the Creator’s eyes, China, Russia, and many other enemies of America have a legal claim over us because of outstanding debt we owe and have not paid at the Shemitah’s end. America has lived an extravagant lifestyle it could not afford. America issued various debt instruments to continue to live this extravagant lifestyle; and then created fiat money out of thin air to cover that debt—in essence, more debt to cover more debt. Out of pure lunacy, America has borrowed this ever growing debt in large part from its enemies just to keep their greed driven “good life” going at all costs. America does not pay off this legitimate debt with just payment for goods and services received; nor can it mathematically pay off this monolithic debt; nor does it ever intend to rightly pay off this debt in any real way.
America and its criminal bankers in the West, on the other hand, have continually exacted payment from the masses. Whether from another country being bullied into debt submission (like Greece), or down to the family being thrown to the streets for late payment, the western banking industry and its political establishment has two sets of rules—one for itself, and another for everyone else. It absolutely demands to be paid what it is owed, on time and with interest; and yet, at the same time, America and its western elite continue to pile on debt it can never repay.
Please, please understand—this will not stand with the Creator. He is a G-d of Justice.
The Creator has rules. The rules have been disregarded. The Creator has warned. The warnings have been disregarded. The Creator has shown mercy. The mercy given has been mocked.
The Creator will now intervene in ways much more catastrophic than any mere economic correction.
The Prophet Habakkuk talks about just such an occasion. The prophet in the original Hebrew language clearly outlines a national entity in the End Times that operates EXACTLY as America has operated. Here is what the Prophet Habakkuk has to say about it:
Habakkuk 2:5-8
Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay (means incredible debt load in the Hebrew)!
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
What this clearly states in this passage, especially when read in the ancient Hebrew, is that there is an End-time nation spoken of that has a massive amount of debt that they have used to live an extravagant lifestyle way beyond their means. This particular nation in the Last Days has defrauded other nations using an international debt scheme in order to keep underwriting its insatiable desire for more. These nations who have been defrauded will rise up in war and take booty as financial compensation for what they are owed. It will be violent. All the inhabitants of this perpetrating nation will feel the impact firsthand. Most will die.
And, dear reader, this is EXACTLY what happened to the Kingdom of Judah. They received their warnings, their times of intervened correction, their mercy—but they did not heed it—and their fate was an unspeakable judgment. They were beset by war, a deadly siege of their homeland, and a famine so bad they ate their own children.
America, the Creator has spoken, or more accurately stated, has not spoken this Elul 29, 2015. He did not intervene on your behalf this Shemitah. America, your fate is now sealed.
For those of us reading this please understand it is time to get your house in order once and for all. A war is coming. America will be invaded by its creditors—China, Russia, and others. This is the inescapable biblical scenario….
And America will fall…”

So in their article, the idea is that America’s trangressions, financial and otherwise, have led us to a final judgment and destruction. We have removed God and religion from our schools and from our legal institutions. The words “under God” have been removed from the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. The ten commandments have been removed from state houses. We have legalized gay marriage, elected a president who is hostile to Christianity and to Israel, and massively increased trillions of dollars in fraudulent debt which can never be paid back.
The premise of the Shemitah cycle for America assumes that America was blessed under another covenant with God, that America was founded with God’s help and grew with the blessings of an agreement between God and the American nation. And that having abandoned God and America’s Constitution and founding covenants, divine punishments will end those blessings of wealth and prosperity. According to the article cited at length above, God’s likely reaction at this point will be to repeat the type of punishment received by Israel and Judah thousands of years ago with the destruction of the trangressors during the current Hebrew calendar year. Something that will bring the financial institutions based in New York and the politicians in Washington to their knees – an ultimate judgment and punishment on the scale of removing them from power and laying their cities waste.
I don’t know if we should assume that the actions of America’s founding fathers could have found favor with God to the point where He would have chosen to bless the nation as if He had formally offered a covenant with America. But America did seem to be blessed, and America does seem to have abandoned God.
For what it’s worth – divine punishment, treating America as if the financiers of New York are the corrupt whores of Babylon in the end times land of Mystery Babylon – this is exactly what I predicted (for many other reasons) would happen in this Hebrew calendar year 5776 (by mid 2016 in our western calendar) in my last book: Antichrist 2016-2019: Mystery Babylon, Barack Obama & the Islamic Caliphate
