Dear Friend,

As we begin a new year, it’s a fitting time for an update…

WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE’RE GOING 
Word for the Month & for Fri., Jan. 1
Scripture: Rev. 3:11
See Message: The Tectonic Moment


God’s necessity is to judge evil. His heart is for mercy. He warns before He judges. The Harbinger opens up the biblical template of judgment that manifested in ancient Israel. It revealed that the same 9 harbingers warning of judgment that appeared in Israel’s last days are now reappearing in America. In other words, that America is now the nation in danger of judgment.

The Tipping Point 

The Harbinger first came out in 2012. That year turned out to be a tipping point, when for the first time in American history, the majority of Americans came out in favor of ending the biblical definition of marriage, in effect, God’s order of creation. That same year, America elected for the first time, a president who advocated for ending the biblical definition. America’s fall and apostasy from God has greatly accelerated, deepened, and intensified. And the harbingers have not stopped but have continued to manifest.

The Year Of The Fall 

The Mystery of the Shemitah opens up the ancient seven-year template of the Shemitah, the Sabbath Year that has marked some of the greatest collapses, crashes, and cataclysms in the financial world, the economic world, and world history itself. From the beginning I’ve cautioned believers not to focus on dates and that nothing had to happen on any day, period, or cycle. At the same time, the most predominant of the Shemitah’s templates, that of the long-term descent of the world’s markets has fully manifested, wiping out 2 trillion dollars of the American markets, 11 trillion dollars of world markets, producing two of the top ten greatest crashes in world history including Black Monday, and devastating the new engine of the world economy, China, wiping out nearly half of its financial realm.

At the same time, there was another fall. The Shemitah of 2015 marked a milestone in the moral and spiritual fall of American civilization as the nation’s Supreme Court struck down the biblical definition of marriage. The ramifications of this with regard to apostasy, persecution, and judgment have not yet been fathomed.

Israel And The Abrahamic Covenant 

One of the saving graces in America’s apostasy from God is that it still blessed Israel. The Abrahamic Covenant ordains that those nations that bless Israel will be blessed. But now we are witnessing the deterioration of America’s relationship with Israel and the signing of a covenant with Iran that Israeli leaders say places the Jewish nation in danger. To fall away from God and Israel at the same time is ominous.

The Beginning Of Persecution

When a nation calls what is sin a good thing it will end up calling what is good, evil. This means God, the Bible, and true believers. It means persecution. We are witnessing more and more believers being found guilty by the state, punished, boycotted, even thrown in jail for holding to what God says. In short, we stand in critical days. We need to be watchful and in prayer concerning judgment. At the same time, none of this is a surprise to God. He is still in control and still greater than this world. Let us resolve this month to pray for revival and not just pray for revival, but actually start living in revival. May God greatly bless you as you do.

Your brother and co-laborer
in His love and service,

Jonathan
