Jonathan Cahn constantly lists a series of signs and warnings, that were the cause of ancient Israel's destruction. The way Cahn does this is by portraying harbingers that ties into ancient Israel’s final destruction.The author makes similarities to the Assyrians and and the events of 9/11.
Jonathan Cahn believes that the first Harbinger is of the breach of the covenant. The author believes that the United States is similar to ancient Israel in the way that they both breached the covenant it made with God. Both of the nations apparently broke their covenant when the countries were founded. Cahn believes that the protection God provided around the United States was broken on 9/11. The way Cahn ties in the similarities about how the protection around ancient Israel was broken Is very creepy. The second Harbinger Cahn describes is the terrorist or the enemy

Earlier in ancient Israel the country had to replace all of its sycamore trees with cedar trees. This is significant to modern day because after 9/11 attacks, a shock wave was created that destroyed lots of buildings in the area. One building was not harmed by the shock wave and that was the St. Paul's Chapel, this building had a sycamore tree next to it. The next significant tree and Harbinger was the Erez tree. The Next Harbinger is similar to the last because, just like ancient Israel replaced all of its sycamores with cedars. The United States tried planting a new tree next to the old tree. This tree however failed to grow and mature this is significant because, just like the cedars were never able to replace the beauty of the

    To me this shows God separating his people at that moment from the people of the world but also letting them know that even though I do not want you following the ways of the land , he also expected you to obtain and respect laws of the world that did not conflict with his and to still have personal relationships and worship him. The covenant with israel related to the christian worldview because as christians we like israel sometimes complain and whine when we dont know Gods plans for us but like the israelites we soon see they he has brought us out of the wilderness and into the promised…

    In this set of materials, the reading passage states the reasons for the decline of the yellow cedar tree and provides three reasons of support. While in listening, the professor opposes the reading passage and says that the reasons are inadequate. He also refutes each of the author’s reasons. First of all, the reading passage claims that the decline of the cedar trees is due to the infestation with the cedar bark beetle, since the larva can eat the tree wood. However, the professor counters this and explains that the beetle can’t infest the healthy tree.…

    Many modern scholars are stating that some of the events that marked the end of the Roman Empire can also be seen in modern America. This is true in excessive military spending to defend the empire. This isn’t true when it comes to declining in morals and values because there aren’t colosseums that have people battling it off with each other. Also, the US doesn’t have a connection when it comes to political corruption. The Roman Empire and The US also have the Rise of Christianity.…

    Author’s use multiple tactics in order to portray many different ideas and layer to their audience. 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. In his novel The Prince of Mist, author Carlos Ruiz-Zafron uses things such as imagery, locations, and symbolism to emphasize on the events of the second world war which took place in 1939- 1945. Ruiz-Zafron uses things such as location and events in order to display the setting of the book. One prime example of this method would be in chapter one : “we are moving” he announced, “To a beach house in a small town on the coast.…

    Of all the civilizations in history, there is perhaps none as influential (to the Western world at least) as that of Rome. From its earliest roots as a small kingdom, through its era as a republic, to the dominance and decline of its empire, the Roman civilization stood for over two millennia, nearly half of recorded history. Since its fall, countless nations attempted to emulate Rome, attempting to recapture even a hint of its former glory. It can be argued, however, that of all these imitators none came as close in spirit as the United States of America. But while America’s adoption of Roman ideologies helped it mirror the latter’s rise to power, disturbing parallels are coming to light between the state the Roman Republic was in before its fall and United States today.…
