The Mystery of the Shemitah Updated Edition: The 3,000-Year-Old Mystery That Holds the Secret of America’s Future, the World’s Future...and Your Future!

Before starting my review, I strongly suggest reading 'The Harbinger' by the same author. It will help prepare you for the explanations given in "The Mystery of the Shemitah." "The Mystery of the Shemitah" is probably the most exciting, deep, thorough and informative of any prophetic book I have ever had the pleasure to read. I must warn you that this is not an easy read. The facts and figures contained are absolutely mind boggling. You must read this with no distractions. You must concentrate on every word. This work will also lead you back to your Bible. Jonathon Cahn has done an incredible study of ancient Israel and its relationship to God. The overwhelming theme is that of a nation blessed by God, and then turning away from Him. The Shemitah is a series of Sabbath Years that begin in 586 BC and continue up to the time we are now living in. Some have asked, "Where is the United States in bible prophecy?" No one knows for sure but this book will give you some direction toward that question. The author compares the U.S today with the nation of Israel throughout ancient history, up to modern times and how the Shemitah appears in these time periods. Are we as a nation still following the One that has blessed us so much or have we turned our back on Him? What might we expect in the future? Blessings, judgement, pride, redemption and restoration are all covered here. Where does the Shemitah fit in? Can we change our destiny? Only if you are serious about the condition of the world and the United states, should you read this very, very important work.

Having purchased both of Jonathan Cahn`s book's, The Harbinger and The Harbinger Study Guide, both of which are eye opening, amazingly stunning, work's of enlightenment and knowledge, by Jonathan Cahn. Even going so far as to be called prophetic and frightening, pertaining to our nation and where she, as well as, where we as her citizen's, stand in the eyes of our Almighty God, at this precise point in time even as I attempt to write a review regarding, Jonathan Cahn`s additional work. The Mystery of the Shemitah, follows up the mention of it's occurrence, within a chapter of The Harbinger. Taking the reader on a more detailed description of the timing of, and the results of the Shemitahs occurrence, at specific times and dates of years within God's ordained calendar, as was dictated by God himself, in the first five books of information and instructions to his first chosen, the Nation of Israel. Is God's Shemitah still in effect? Does it still appear at it's appointed time? Does God's Shemitah affect our modern world? Does it just occur within the borders of Israel, or can mankind nail down it's appointed occurrence in other nations, such as within the borders of America and other countries? I will not ruin the mystery, for my fellow reader's, as I have witnessed others writing these book reviews can do. But what I will say is, upon finishing the last page, I spent a very restless night in bed, and an extremely thoughtful day after, asking for forgiveness and humbling my own self before our LORD God Almighty.

This was very interesting. Things I never knew ! So glad to know it now! I hope everyone will read it !

This is an excellent book. Rabbi Cahn shares very well thought out and knowledgeable information. There were times near the end of the book where I was in such a hurry to finish it that I was getting impatient. There are several places that he repeats an idea in a different way, which is good for remembering and understanding but not for hurrying to complete the book. Because of this, by the time I was near the end of the book, I skipped over some areas that I thought were repeating a previous idea.The content of the book did not surprise me because I have heard Rabbi Cahn state some of these things on YouTube several times. One thing for me as a Messianic believer, though, is that I thought the year of the Shemitah was intended to let the land rest as well as to reset the economy and free people from debt. Rabbi Cahn said the actual resting of the land is tied to the land of Israel and not to every other place on earth. The reason this surprised me is that I had taken a year off from gardening this year. It was hard for me to do it because I love gardening, but I was trying to do what I thought God wanted me to do to let the land rest. Every time I saw gardening things in the stores it was hard for me this spring, and when the garden administrator gave our pea patch to another gardener, it really was hard for me. I realized I do not have the ability to let the land rest for our pea patch because I don't own the land. I was the one who rested from gardening. However, this year I really needed that rest because I discovered I had cancer at the end of April. The process of getting well probably would have made it hard to be gardening this year.What I learned from this book is that the Shemitah is designed to remind us to release everything we have to God and it applies to a lot more than just gardening and farming.

This book explains Gods patterns of monetary things and how things should be done according to the Bible and because we don’t follow it the Lord with still have His way.

As I read, my eyes and understanding were opened to understand the Scriptures more broadly, and at the same time accurate. Very prophetic and current! I recommend!

This is a mind blowing magnificent book. It shows how God has used the Shemitah (the 7 year cycle) to keep the Jewish people close and dependent on God alone to supply their needs. The 7 year Jewish cycle was for the Jews to trust God and depend on Him as they were to rest on the 7th year and not work the fields and all debts where to be canceled in the last month of the 7th year. But the Jewish people never did it as they thought it was as crazy as we would if He asked us to do it too.So God forced a 70 year Shemitah on them against their will and they were taken to Babylon in fact Johnathon points out that the Babylonian Empire was raised solely for this purpose to take the Jews away and when the 70 year cycle was finished the Babylonian Empire crashed and was taken over by the Mede's and Persians for the sole purpose of sending the Jews back.Johnathon shows how God has judged the world on these 7 year cycles and that the majority of Financial Wall Street Crashes happened in the Shemitah year and even the majority of the worst ever ones where in the last month of the Shemitah year which is impossible if it was some random thing. If it was random the crashes would only be 1 in every 7 years. Johnathon even shows how God judged the British Empire and raised up America in the 7 year Shemitah especially in 4x7 = 28 year period and what happened in an amazing way in Americas favor and then 28 years later in judgement against America. This book will amaze you as it did me. Get it!

In his books, Jonathan Cahn opens our eyes to modern events and their role in God's prophecies as does no other author or prophet that I have ever read. I highly recommend the Mystery of the Shemitah and all other Jonathan Cahn's works to those interested in end-time events and America's role in them.

It is a very well researched book and underpins Various events in world history to the Jewish tradition of the Shemitah. One cannot help but be amazed at the extent of correlation to the timeline of the Shemitah.A great read and a very accurate assessment of the kingdoms mentioned and a great reminder to all that God is sovereign and all blessings are from him. This is something we as mortals need to constantly remind ourselves off.

Once again, Jonathan Cahn shares amazing revelation with his readers. This book follows and in some ways, complements his book "The Harbinger", a New York times best seller. I found this book to be fascinating and sobering at the same time, as Cahn explores a mystery called the Shemitah, taken from the Old Testament, where God commands His people to allow the land to rest every seven years. To quote the comment on the cover of the book, this is "The book you can't afford NOT to read. It is already affecting your life...and it WILL affect your future!" And, this book "reveals a new realm of astonishing mysteries so big they lie behind everything from world wars, the rise and fall of nations, economic recession and financial collapse, and your future."I highly recommend this book for those who are interested in how God's Word guides and affects our lives now and in the future. Even if we're not aware.
