Here I again revisited Rabbi Jonathan Cahn’s book from 2011, “The Harbinger: The Ancient Mystery that Holds the Secret of America's Future.” When the Assyrians attacked the Northern Kingdom, Israel, it was “a shaking” that they ignored just as 911 was a shaking for America. Israel was later conquered and dispersed never to be regathered. Did we in America ignore our shaking?
Although the terrorist attack of 911 did not destroy the United States, it had at initial effect like the bombing of Pearl Harbor, it woke up a sleeping giant, the citizens of the United States. People came together, and many gathered in churches to pray for our country. As with Israel, our leaders didn’t repent, rather boasting that we would rebuild even better. It didn’t take long for any move towards repentance to cease to exist on the part of America.
After 911 then POTUS Bush referred to Islam as a religion of peace, really. Instead of going after Saudi Arabia, home of most of the 911 terrorists, we attacked Iraq, a country where terrorists were pretty much controlled by a ruthless dictator. The claim was made that there were WMD in Iraq which were not found, however, it’s my long-held opinion they were taken to Syria. A possible second possible reason for going after Iraq, did President Bush perhaps still held a grudge against Iraqi president Saddam Hussein for a plot to assassinate Bush Sr. years before.
THE BUSH ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
“The United States sent various personnel to Kuwait to investigate the alleged assassination attempt. Based on interviews of the alleged co-conspirators, forensic examinations of the explosive devices, and intelligence reports, the United States Government concluded that Iraq was behind the attempted car bombing. In response, on June 26, 1993, President Clinton ordered a cruise missile strike against an Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) building in Baghdad. A Kuwaiti court later convicted all but one of the defendants charged with crimes arising from the assassination attempt.”
The Bush Jr. years brought destruction to some terrorists, however, not with a millstone to the head. Then during the Obama years ISIS grew to become the threat it is today. President Trump is our Cyrus, our Jehu who must prevail against both external and internal threats. I often pray for the safety of President Trump, his family, and his administration.
I also pray for revival in America, a return to God while there is still time. The Northern Kingdom was dispersed and assimilated into other lands. Judah also fell more than a century later but never lost their allegiance to their covenant land. Nevertheless, the fate of Judah should be a lesson to America, an America that seems to have forgotten/ ignored the shaking of 911. God told the prophet Jeremiah, “Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.” Jeremiah 7:16.
