"HAS AMERICA BECOME AN 'END-TIMES' CIVILIZATION?"

The author of America¹s hottest book on faith and prophecy says the spiritual polarization of the U.S. is exactly what you would expect from an ³end-times civilization.²

Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, author of New York Times best-seller
³The Harbinger² and the star of 2012¢s No.1 Christian documentary ³The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment,² was speaking with WND¹s Kevin DeAnna at the 2012 BookExpo America in New York City, when the conversation turned to why the mainstream media hasn¹t covered the phenomenal success and message of his work.

Cahn¹s book and subsequent documentary detail how in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks on America, the nation¹s leaders repeatedly stood and cited the words of Isaiah 9:10, promising the U.S. would rebuild bigger and stronger.

But as Cahn points out, those very boasts spoken by America¹s and ancient Israel¹s leaders were the words God used, not to inspire the Israelites, but to condemn them for their pride. Cahn¹s works then show the startling parallel between the warnings of judgment that fell on Israel and events in America today.

Yet while many Americans are making
³The Harbinger² and ³The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment² national best-sellers, the mainstream media has largely ignored their meteoric popularity.

³Do you think there¹s an increasing divide between Americans who [recognize these eerie harbingers of judgment] and Americans who don¹t attribute any significance to these types of things?² DeAnna asked Cahn.

³Absolutely,² the author replied. ³We¹re watching a polarization ­ and this is a dynamic of end-times civilization ­ that the dark gets darker, the light gets lighter.²

³Yet,² Cahn says, ³ŒThe Harbinger¹ is such that you can be an atheist Š and still say, ŒWow. There¹s something happening, there¹s something going on.¹ And I think there¹s an underlying sense in America that there is something wrong, that we are in a critical period, and ŒThe Harbinger¹ is connecting the dots in way that, again, if you are a total skeptic, it¹s still hard to avoid.²

Despite the near silence from the mainstream media and traditional pushers of publishing success, ³The Harbinger² has surged up best-seller lists for 22 weeks straight.
³Why do you think that is?² DeAnna asked Cahn.

³I think because God is behind it,² the author answered. ³He loves doing things the anti-mainstream way.²

When asked why the mainstream seems so reluctant to cover this publishing phenomenon, Cahn suggested the world will naturally resist proclaiming dire news from on high.

³There has to be a wall,² Cahn said. ³It¹s a prophetic message. If we were back in Israel in ancient times and there was a prophetic message going forth, I don¹t know if we could expect the media to say, ŒGreat! Let¹s go with this [message] of judgment!¹²

³If it¹s God behind it, He still will get it out. He¹s the publicist,² Cahn said. ³He will have His way with this.²
