Mark your calendars and hold on to your hats, the next 12 months could be a wild ride for America and the world.
The biblical Feast of Trumpets, also known as the Jewish New Year, begins at sundown on Wednesday, Sept. 24, which also marks the appearing of a new moon.
But this New Year on the Hebrew calendar is not just any new year. It is the Sabbath year or "Shemitah" year. Just as the seventh day was laid out by God as a day of rest in the Hebrew Old Testament, every seventh year was designated as a Sabbath year.
The word "Shemitah" is most often translated as "the release" or "the remission" and applied to the wiping away of debts as well as the resting of the land.
Messianic Jewish Rabbi Jonathan Cahn believes he has unlocked the mystery of the Shemitah's meaning as it applies to modern-day nations. In his new book, "The "Mystery of the Shemitah," he explains that nearly every major U.S. stock market collapse since the early 1900s has occurred during a Shemitah year, as did the terrorist attack and stock market collapse of September 2001 and the financial collapse of 2008. The next Shemitah year begins Wednesday and runs through Sept. 13, 2015.
But what if the "Shemitah" contains an ominous warning about a wider collapse of not just stock markets or housing markets but potentially America's very existence as leader of the free world? If the nation does not pull back from its current course and repent, it could be in for some rough times as this next Shemitah year plays out, according to Cahn.
Why? Because in "The Mystery of the Shemitah" Cahn explains that empires see their fortunes rise and fall in accordance with the Shemitah. Germany, for instance, began its Third Reich with the annexation of Austria in 1938, a Shemitah year, and it ended seven years later when Adolph Hitler committed suicide in April 1945, another Shemitah year. Cahn points out in his book that the Russian, Japanese and other empires also fell in accordance with the Shemitah.
Cahn has also found patterns of special importance in cycles of 28-year periods or four Shemitah years in succession.
In 1945, a Shemitah year, America emerged as the uncontested leader of the free world following the surrender of Germany and Japan in World War II. And 28 years later, in another Shemitah year in 1973, America lost its first war, Vietnam, fell victim to the Arab oil embargo and saw its dollar lose prestige as President Nixon announced it was no longer tied to any gold or silver standard.
Spring forward another 28 years, and that brought the attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, and a historic stock market collapse a few days later, followed by another historic market collapse seven years later in the Shemitah year of 2008.
These are the warning signs or "harbingers," to which Cahn has been pointing, starting with his first book, "The Harbinger."
Now comes the start of another Shemitah year, 2014-2015, and America still has not responded to the increasing signs of judgment.
For instance, the five greatest economic crashes of the last 40 years – 1973, 1980, 1987, 2001 and 2008 – all occurred in Shemitah years – those God set apart as Sabbath years.
As he pointed out in his earlier book, in 2001 and 2008 they coincided precisely with the exact end of the Shemitah year on the Hebrew calendar day of Elul 29.
