Jonathan Cahn's The Mystery Of The Shemitah

Improved Essays
In Rabbi Jonathan Cahn’s book, The Mystery of the Shemitah, he expounds upon the idea of history repeating itself in America according to the seven-year cycle of Israel’s history. He explains several signs and prophecies that are shown from the Bible that came to pass in Israel, and are coming to pass now in America, such as the Bible passages that correspond to 9/11 and the keys to the prophecies that tell just how close God’s judgment is. I enjoyed the book because it gives gripping and compelling theories that seem to truly explain tragedies that have befallen America and how they relate to the Shemitah years and Israel’s very own history, although I had a small problem with some of the theories in the book and how they related to the Bible. …show more content…
The Shemitah year was where God commanded Israel to observe the Sabbath day, and also the Sabbath year, every seventh year. During the Shemitah, they were not to sow the fields or gather from them; instead, thye were to be left to rest and if anything grew in them, the poor were allowed to come and gather for their own needs. The author also explains prophesies such as the Harbingers and also prophesies that have recently come to pass, such as eclipses and the “Blood Moons.” The book goes over several more prophecies; one for each chapter that spells out the meaning and correlation of the Shemitah years, and also what each Shemitah year would mean to

    While I was reading the touching and true story of the life of Ishmael Beah, a child soldier in the Sierra Leonean war, I was able to understand how much hope Ishmael had in order to survive.

    In this day and age, it is all too easy to view nature through the megapixels of a photo on an iPhone, or have over one hundred million images of any animal or plant appear in less than a second via Google Images. It is an astonishing accomplishment in technology, and its attributes to human welfare cannot be dismissed, but it does have its faults. Subsequently, these faults reflect concepts that philosophers have conferred for centuries. Many philosophers believe that technology, along with other entities and beliefs in Western culture, is pulling Americans away from having a strong connection with nature. One of the more contemporary philosophers, David Abram, expresses the importance of having a sense of unity with the natural world in his…

Things such as themes and symbols help the readers focus on the central idea of the story that relates to a specific event in history.
