review 1: This was an interesting read but I'm not sure what to make of it. It doesn't really comport with my Christian beliefs. And my scientific mind is suspicious that the author is finding correlations that may not really be cause and effect as he claims. Nevertheless, his assertions are fascinating to think about. The Shemitah refers to the sabbath year every seven years observed by the people of Israel. "The Shemitah was a sign of the nation's covenant with God. Everything they had, the land and all its blessings, was dependent on that covenant and their relationship with God. It was all entrusted to them, but it belonged to God. If they turned away from God, then their blessings would be removed, or rather, they would be removed from their blessings." "Israel's rejection o... moref the Shemitah set in motion a series of far-reaching consequences and repercussions. If God is not sovereign over the land and its people, then the land and its people become cut off from the Creator. A God-centered worldview is replaced by a man-centered and self-centered worldview. So the people of Israel drove God out of their lives to become their own gods, masters of the land, their world, and their destiny. They could now rewrite the law and redefine what was right and wrong, moral and immoral. And then, as did the nations surrounding them, they began to lift up their children as sacrifices on the altars of their new gods." The author asserts that the United States of today has turned away from God much as ancient Israel did. "America's founders prophesied that inasmuch as the new civilization would follow the ways of God, it would be blessed with the blessings given to Israel. And what they foretold came true. America became the most blessed nation on earth. By the twentieth century it had become the most prosperous, the most secure, the most revered, and the most powerful nation on earth.But at the pinnacle of its power and the height of its prosperity relative to the rest of the world, a metamorphosis began. The "Israel of the New World" would reenact the apostasy and fall of the Israel of the ancient world. America now began a progression that would end with the nation's turning away from the God of its foundation.""The metamorphosis was subtle at first but, in time, would grow more and more blatant and brazen. As did ancient Israel, so now America began removing God from its national life, from its culture, its government, and its public squares. It would ban prayer and the reading of Scripture from the instruction of its children. The school system that had come into existence for the purpose of teaching the Word of God would now treat that Word as contraband. And as America eliminated the presence of God from its national life and culture, it filled the void with idols and formed gods out of its desires.As did ancient Israel, America progressively redefined what was right and wrong, adopting a new morality to replace the old. It now called evil 'good,' and good 'evil.' What it had once celebrated, it now condemned, and what it had once worshiped, it now reviled. And on the other hand, what it had once condemned, it now celebrated and what it had once reviled, it now worshiped. American culture grew increasingly carnal, materialistic, coarse, vulgar, and self-indulgent.Instead of being 'a light to the world' as its founders had envisioned, America was now saturating the world with pornography. And while Israel had killed thousands of its children on the altars of its new gods, America killed not thousands but millions of its unborn children on the altars of its pleasures and convenience. Its collective hands were covered in blood."The author notes that the stock market crashes of 1973, 1980, and 1987 followed 7 year cycles as did the crashes of 2000 and 2007. "Behind the rising and falling of America is a mystery of Shemitahs. The key turning points of that rise and fall were each connected to the Shemitah year. Each of these turning points took place during the fourth Shemitah from the last turning point—intervals of twenty-eight years.• The cycle of superpower—America's rise to world power begins in the Year of the Shemitah 1917 with its entrance into the First World War. Moving forward twenty-eight years, we come to the fourth Shemitah in the year 1945. In 1945 America's rise to world superpower is completed.• The cycle of Bretton Woods—At its pinnacle of power America becomes the center of a new world financial and economic order, the Bretton Woods system, at the time of the Shemitah 1945. Moving forward twenty-eight years, we come to the fourth Shemitah in the year 1973—the year that the Bretton Woods system undergoes its final collapse. It begins and ends with the Shemitah.• The cycle of war—On August 15,1945, the empire of Japan surrenders. The Second World War is over. Having won its greatest military victory in history, America stands at the pinnacle of military power. Moving forward twenty-eight years, we come to the fourth Shemitah, in the year 1973—the year America loses its first war in modern history. The war is over on August 15, twenty-eight years after its greatest victory—to the day."The author sees particular significance to the year 1973. The Shemitah of 1972 – 1973 saw the U.S. Supreme Court decision on Roe vs. Wade on January 22, 1973. He also sees prophetic significance in towers such as the twin towers of the World Trade Center. "The towers had been conceived in the Shemitah of 1945 at America's apogee. On the fourth Shemitah, twenty-eight years later in 1973, they were completed. For twenty-eight years they stood. On the fourth Shemitah after their completion, in the year 2001, they were destroyed."
review 2: The Shemitah is the reminder to any nation or civilization that its blessings come from God. And without God those blessings cannot endure. It is a warning to a nation founded on the purposes of God and blessed by God's hand, but now increasingly warring against the God of its blessings. The Shemitah is a warning to America--America has grown so hardened to God's will and so deafened to His voice, that only something of great magnitude has any hope of breaking through. 2 Peter 3:9 says God does not want any to perish but all should come to repentance. God have mercy on America as we've walked away from so many of your decrees. 9/11/2001 was a warning...we must return to God and elect godly leaders that will stop passing immoral laws and cause division and destruction of our country. less
