This is from Cahn's "official" facebook site:
SHEMITAH'S FIRST 2 WEEKS BRING OMINOUS SIGNS
Stock market tumbles, Ebola comes to U.S., ISIS on move in Iraq
Blood moons, plummeting stock markets and a growing Ebola pandemic dominated the headlines this past week.

Dave,
Good questions. Here's what I propose. I propose that you have a quiet time with Jesus and ask him the same questions.
Are we in trouble? As awareness has noted, turn on the news. Then draw your own conclusions. If that doesn't drive you to your knees, I don't know what it would take!
Cahn says this:
"
As I wrote at the beginning of this book (The Mystery of the Shemitah), we must be careful with regard to date-setting as to when certain events must come about. The issue is not of dates but of the call to repentance and return. My concern with the focusing on dates is that it can take away from the central matter of repentance. I have warned of a coming judgment, but I have also cautioned against putting the workings of God in a box with regard to the timing of that judgment.
God doesn't have to act in the same way or according to the same timing as He has in the past. Prophetic signs do not generally happen routinely or according to a schedule. There are Shemitah years that dramatically manifest the mystery and others that do not. Nothing has to happen in the next Shemitah.
Having said that, I must also give a second caution: God can work as he has in the past and can bring judgment at the time of the Shemitah. In view of both cautions, it is wise that one should be aware of the Shemitah and its days." ibid. pp. 237-238
I also propose that you forget about Cahn. Forget about any US-Israel connection that may exist. Read his book/s or don't. Is the US a Christian Nation? All I know for sure is that the US is a nation with Christians in it.
I further advise against putting God in a box. I'm pretty sure that whatever box we can find is too small.
Another of Cahn's messages: as long as there is a warning, there is hope. If there is no hope, there would only be judgment.
May God's wisdom and blessings be with us all--
Nell
