Have we decided not to bother fact-checking claims anymore? It should be noted that Cahn rightly does not say that Isaiah 9:10 is a prophecy about America; it is clearly a pronouncement of doom against ancient Israel which came to pass in 721 BC. Therefore it is reasonable to see Israel’s statement in Isaiah 9:10 as intentional defiance, but there is no parallel in modern America or in Daschle’s speech; the very idea is fatuous. (Normally $150). There were more than 405,000 American deaths as a result, and almost 1.1 million total casualties. It is the Constitution that actually defines the “principles” and organization of this nation. founded on the Word of God and dedicated to His purposes. The truth is confirmed; the judgment is confirmed. The conclusion is inescapable: Isaiah 9:10 is not programmatic. The link between America, and the harbingers for ancient Israel, was only discovered in 2005 by Jonathan Cahn! It should be clear, then; Cahn’s attempt to redefine the Shemitah from what it was – the day at the end of the Sabbath year on which the Israelites were required to cancel personal debts – to what it wasn’t – “the exact Biblical day specifically ordained to touch a nation’s financial accounts” – is already illegitimate. Yet again, there are a plethora of problems with Cahn’s putative ninth harbinger. There’s a law in the Bible that for a truth to be established or a judgment to be pronounced, there has to be two or three witnesses testifying. Now, Cahn has correctly said that God gave this command “to Israel.”  It was a faith-based economic policy for Israel alone, and had nothing to do with any other nation, including the United States. However, the magnitude of the stakes makes it of prime importance to, Test all things; hold fast what is good. Second, despite Cahn’s fervent attempt to draw parallels between the OT Shemitah and the 2008 stock market crash, there is no real parallel. We have already shown conclusively that these men did not issue an “ancient vow of defiance,” that there is no such thing as unintentional defiance, and that America is not linked to ancient Israel. It happened because it had to happen; the harbinger had to manifest. And as with ancient Israel, they saw it as in covenant with God.[10]. How is it (The Harbinger) doing in the marketplace? Since the fictional framing device is immaterial to this analysis, we shall look at Cahn’s claims as put forth in his DVD, “The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment: Is there an Ancient Mystery that Foretells America’s Future?”. The Assyrian Empire were a Semitic people in the Middle East, just like the terrorists who planned and carried out 9/11. More amazing claims follow. And it has fallen on Israel. The Isaiah 9:10 effect: there’s gonna be a second shaking … that’s gonna touch America in its economic power, its financial foundation. What has happened to fact checking and critical thinking? The Isaiah 9:10 Effect. cit., p. 19, [11] Cahn, “A National Wake-Up Call.” op. for the eighth harbinger to manifest in America, what has to happen is that an American leader, or prominent American leader, would have to proclaim these words of defiance in a public setting in the capital city. God is calling America back as He did Israel. Yet it happened while, according to Cahn, America was under God’s hedge of protection. Cahn goes on to identify this foundation as the New York Stock Exchange, and goes on to point out that the NY Stock Exchange was originally called the Buttonwood Association, formed by the Buttonwood Agreement, so named because it was signed under a buttonwood tree. the mysteries of the harbingers are gonna continue and they’re gonna produce a second American calamity. Cahn’s sixth and seventh harbingers are linked. It is not clear why Cahn switches from the Hebrew Masoretic text here to the LXX[15]. In "The Harbinger" and "The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment," the focal point of this vow of judgment is the tower rising up out of the ruins of Ground Zero. And, at any rate, the foundational principles of the United States are determined by the Declaration of Independence and especially the Constitution, not by Washington’s inaugural address.
