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.

Having set the dates, Cahn now cautions against date setting. Audacious self contradiction. He's hedging his bet.

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.

God is omnipotent and absolutely free by definition. We didn't need Cahn to tell us that. He's the one who told us about the schedule. He's hedging and contradicting himself again. This guy should be a politician.

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.

God can do what he's done in the past. Who knew? And God can do other things. Brilliant. I'm surprised he let this gem slip out to those who haven't bought his book. This is PH.D. level stuff here.

I also propose that you forget about Cahn. Forget about any US-Israel connection that may exist.

Forgotten.

Read his book/s or don't.

Won't.

Is the US a Christian Nation? All I know for sure is that the US is a nation with Christians in it.

Right.

I further advise against putting God in a box. I'm pretty sure that whatever box we can find is too small.
|
Insofar as Cahn was saying anything, he was putting God in a box.

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.
|
There may or may not be a warning according to Cahn. So, it seems there may or may not be a cause for hope.
