In this follow-up to his best-selling novel The Harbinger, Jonathan Cahn reveals more of the mysteries of God as he explains in earnest detail how God's judgment of ancient Israel provides the template for the shakings that are taking place now in America.
Is the window closing for American to turn back to God?
What Topics Does The Harbinger II: The Return Cover?
The entire book is presented as an engaging narrative, but the truths each chapter contains are explosive! The mysteries are unlocked one-by-one as a mysterious character called "the prophet" gives them to Nouriel, the man God has selected to be "the watchman."
The overarching theme of the book is how a nation that once knew God yet turns away, positions itself for national judgment. Cahn uses ancient Israel as an example to explain what the progression of judgment looks like. God shakes a nation through invasions, decrease in military strength, economic collapse, plagues, and more to call His people to return to Him, but the window of time for the nation to respond is limited. Ultimately, if a people refuse to respond and repent, the nation is nation is judged and the blessings of God are removed.
America was founded as a city on a hill. With targeted historical accuracy, Cahn traces our nation's roots, including striking details about the roles played by John Winthrop, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln. He shares mysteries that relate to 9/11, Boston, the Statue of Liberty, the Western Terrace, and more significant American landmarks. Cahn even draws a startling look at how the shedding of innocent blood through abortion created the impetus for judgment via a global pandemic.
Cahn shares insights on America's woes through the lens of ancient Israel. As the reader shifts back and forth between Israel's behaviors and repercussions to modern day America, it couldn't be clearer that our nation is in peril. Judgment is aligning for us with shocking accuracy just as it did for Israel. Despite all the shakings that have already occurred, as a nation, we continue to fall further away from God.
The Harbinger II: The Return is yet another call from the Watchman to change course before our nation goes past the point of no return.
The Book Nerd's Thoughts on The Harbinger II: The Return
Jonathan Cahn is a strong prophetic voice. The book was published in 2020, and the downward spiral of America has accelerated since then.
Readers can extrapolate the spiritual principles in this book to the present time. For example, Cahn explains that Israel was invaded by its enemies. In 2024, America has experienced an invasion of millions of illegal aliens from all the nations of the world, many of whom are terrorists, drug and human traffickers, gangs, enemy spies, and other bad actors. With record-high inflation, our economy is in a shambles. Our military is more focused on DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) than increasing in strength and might.
American exceptionalism is founded in our nation's faith in the Word of God. As a nation, we are drifting far away from our founding values, and the disastrous results are reaching epic levels.
The Harbinger II: The Return is so profound and revelatory that it's not a book you can read quickly. It's a book you must chew on, process, and digest in small doses, but it is a powerful must-read to help us understand the events we're seeing unfold before our eyes.
