Browsing the Internet on additional articles about The Harbinger, I came across the following article by someone named Sharon K. Gilbert on a web blog called PID News, where its motto is the Scripture of the watchman in Isaiah 21:6, where it says the following:
“For the Lord says to me, ‘Go station the lookout (or watchman), and let him report what he sees.’”
But what followed in the article, part of a much broader article now lost to us, was startling because it was as though one were reading a page from Pastor and Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn’s book, The Harbinger. I quote the small article:
May 31, 2009 (By SUE BRADLEY/Raiders News) — /SNIP/
“The events of September 11, 2001 have been thoroughly documented. The bricks were fallen down, but the rebuilding began with hewn stone on July 4, 2004 when the granite cornerstone for the building of The Freedom Tower was set.
“The sycamore tree outside St. Paul’s Chapel had fallen, but the cedar was lowered into place on November 22, 2003. It was named, the Tree of Hope.
From The Watchmen, 911 and The Harbingers:
“The next day [when] the people returned to ground zero, they found a tree lying on the ground, pierced by the beam of a falling Tower.
“There, at Ground Zero was a sycamore tree – struck town…after the tree of Isaiah 9…a harbinger of judgment…’the sycamore has fallen’…
…and strange, eerily, the people made a display of it, not realizing what it was in the Bible… and put it on display, its roots exposed…not realizing, as if to draw more attention to the sign. And a sculptor was commissioned to make a cast of it. He poured metal into the cast: he cast it into bronze, the Biblical metal of judgment…an image of the fallen sycamore to be displayed on Wall Street.”
On the PID News Web Site appears a picture of the gnarled roots of the sycamore tree that had protected St. Paul's Chapel from being struck by the falling debris when the Twin Towers fell and a steel beam had pierced and fell the tree right out of its roots on that fateful Tuesday morning in the month of September, the eleventh day of 2001.
You may ask yourselves what possible significance does this small article (part of a larger one now lost to us) has to Rabbi Cahn’s best selling book, The Harbinger? There are four that stand immediately out to the reader, and they are the following:
1.) The host of the PID News site (Sharon Gilbert), quoting another author (Sue Bradley of Raiders News), both make the connection between the events of 9/11 and Isaiah 9:10.
2.) The author of the Raiders News article (Sue Bradley’s) titles her article The Watchmen, 911 and The Harbingers.
3.) The author makes every other connection Rabbi Cahn makes in his book, as though she had read his book from cover to cover.
4.) All of this is well and good, except that the author to this amazing article wrote her article at least two and a half years before Rabbi Cahn published his book, The Harbinger!
This is amazing! This little gem of an article was written by someone other than Pastor and Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn by someone named Sharon L. Gilbert, who posted the article she wrote on June 1st, 2009, and it was quoting an earlier article written by someone named Sue Bradley who had written and posted her article the previous day, on May 31st, 2009!
What is amazing is that these two ladies, obviously students of Scripture, could make these startling connections along the same pattern as that of Rabbi Cahn which he makes in his best-seller, The Harbinger, and yet some at this late hour, do not see the connections, and even contest at great length and in the form of a published book of their own titled The Harbinger: Fact or Fiction? (author David James, commissioned by T.A. McMahon of the Berean Call). Startling. Simply startling.
And the connections are there for the serious Bible student who is willing to spend the hours and labor to find them when making a diligent study of The Harbinger, as I am have done and am currently at work in. For those who wish to see something other than what Rabbi Cahn posits in his book, it is allowed as well, because since Rabbi Cahn’s book is a work of fiction addressing a historic fact, it will lend itself to the most outrageous counter-claims by those who willfully deny any voice other than their own with regard to prophecy and eschatology, and are very jealous and zealous assuring their public following from where they obtain their support, that theirs is “the correct hermeneutic.” NOT!
