Does an ancient mystery hold the secret to the events of our times, and the future of America and the world?
Is this mystery even behind the shakings that have now overtaken the world and America?
How much time do we have left?
In 2012, Jonathan Cahn caused a worldwide sensation with the release of his first book and massive bestseller The Harbinger. It was hailed as ‘stunning,’ ‘prophetic’ ‘mind-blowing,’ and ‘astonishing.’ Cahn followed it with bestseller after bestseller but he has always held off on writing a sequel. But now, for the first time, Cahn opens up what could not be unlocked before - the mysteries that couldn’t be revealed until the present time, the manifestations that have taken place since The Harbinger came out and up to the present hour, and the mysteries of what is yet to come.
Ever since The Harbinger was released, people have been asking…
Is an ancient mystery determining America’s future?
Have the harbingers of judgment continued to manifest on American soil?
Is America closer now than ever before to judgment and what lies ahead for America and the world?
The Harbinger ended by speaking of what was yet to come. That which was written is now coming true. After years of holding back, because he believed it wasn’t yet the time, Jonathan Cahn has now written the sequel. The Harbinger II is being hailed as “a prophetic masterpiece” even more powerful and stunning than the first book and will take the mystery to new dimensions and disclose what could not be revealed in The Harbinger or until now. The Harbinger II will open up the mysteries of the Gate, the Watchmen, the Mystery Ship, the Word in the Ruins, the Book of Days, the Image, the Judgment Tree, the Children of the Ruins, the Convergence, the Handwriting on the Wall, and much more. It will ultimately reveal the mystery of what is yet to come, including the Shakings, the Plague, the Western Terrace, the Island, the Day of the Watchman, and more.
As in the first book, the mysteries and revelations of The Harbinger II are completely real and are determining the course of world events to this day. And the mysteries are, likewise, revealed through a narrative. In The Harbinger II, the reader will witness the return of Nouriel, Ana Goren, and the mysterious figure known as ‘the prophet.’ The prophet will now continue the revelation from where it left off and open up mysteries as stunning and mind-blowing as the first. As in the prophet’s first appearance, the revelations will be unlocked, one by one, through the giving of ancient seals, but also through dreams, and a little girl as mysterious as the prophet. In The Harbinger II the reader will be taken on a mysterious and epic journey to uncover the new revelations: from an island in the waters of New England, to the steps of the Supreme Court, to the top of the tower at Ground Zero, to a primeval forest, to the House of Faces, to the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. The Harbinger II will also reveal the answer and the keys we each need to have for the days that lie ahead.
After reading The Harbinger II, you will never see the world the same way again. Prepare to be blown away!

I received an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
You will not be able to put this book down! If you are a believer you need this book. If you’re not a believer.... you need this book.
I have researched the dates as I try to do with all books I read. All the dates written about events in history are real and true. But I’ll leave that up to you to do the research. As the accounts are so out of this world you will almost be in denial that they could be true. But the dates are real and God is perfect!
With that being said the Harbinger 2, written by Jonathan, but in my opinion most definitely inspired by a messenger of God, should wake up the sleeper in all of us. The mysteries revealed in this book Will blow your mind. Jonathan shows us the correlation of happened to ancient Israel when they fell away from God, in similarity and foreshadowing of what is happening today in the good old USA. The patterns are uncanny.
Jonathan never date sets the coming of Yeshua,Jesus. That is clear. Through discernment, wisdom, and prophecy, Jonathan is keenly award and shows us the season we are in, and how imminent the return of Jesus is.
You cannot go unscathed with the knowledge you will receive from this book. We all have to get our houses in order. We are supposed to live like Jesus is coming today, and now more than ever. And if you weren’t sure of the times we are in, you will surely be aware once you’ve read this book.
If you want to know more about 9/11 and what it means in the spiritual realm, you will get an eyeful from the Harbinger 2. Much of the book centers on the United States history, and Israel’s history.
The moral of the story is, it’s time to repent as a nation just like Nineveh did. The door is closing, and the time for true repentance is at hand. Teshuvah. It’s time for the church to Teshuvah. It’s time for USA to repent. Repent! For The kingdom of heaven is at hand....
And thank you Jonathan for being the watchman on the wall. Thank you for this book! For sounding the Shofar! May we all have the courage and boldness to bring forth the warning!

Another masterpiece from Cahn that will keep you engaged until you finish the last note on the book. I want to scream at the top of my lungs let them who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying!
The first book Cahn wrote, The Harbinger, laid out the ancient mystery that tells the story and destiny of the people of Israel based on their defiance to God and their turn away from God’s statuses. The mystery shows how its patterns have aligned perfectly with the story of America and the attacks on 9/11. The Harbinger II goes even deeper to show how the patterns continue, deepen and the imminent fate of a nation who continues to defy God.
The book is written with a sense of urgency; as a watchman sounding the alarm and screaming to an entire nation to return to God before it too late. This nation, America, not only holds the fate of its own people, but the entire world in its hands. The great America nation, who once emanated the glory of God to the nations, has now fallen so far from God that has lost its shining light and its purpose. And because of that falling away, has brought judgement upon itself.
A nation that “wars against the will God” stands in danger of judgement says Cahn. “Judgement is His necessity. But redemption is His heart. He wills that none should perish and longs to save, to grant mercy and forgiveness, to heal and restore. It is the necessity of good to bring evil to an end, that judgement must come – but it is the heart of God to bring salvation, to call back, to warn, and to even allow the shaking of nations that those who would hear His calling would come back and be saved.
Cahn, by intertwining fiction and non-fiction, brings the story alive through Nouriel and the Prophet. It immediately draws you in and you can easily find yourself diving into the story until it feels you’re there with the characters. But don’t be fooled, if you research every detail Cahn mentions in the book, it is all real and true as day. It’s just his genius way to write and capture our attention. The suspense, the drama, and the mystery are all there to keep you interested, but the message is serious, real and urgent.
We have all been witnesses to the spiritual decline of America and how far we’ve come in the past couple of decades. Cahn points out that “when a nation turns away from God and the foundation on which is was established, the turning of spirit will inevitably lead to a turning of values, the changing of standards, laws, and precepts. It will rewrite the tablets. It will alter the underpinnings on which it stands. That which it had long upheld as right, it will now judge as evil, and what it had long opposed as wrong, it now champions.”
The Harbinger II is an eye-opening book to show you how far and close to judgement America and the world is. Its pages will walk you through what has been and what will be if America don’t repent. As Cahn states, repentance is the only thing missing after 9/11. “America never returned because America never repented. And without repentance, there can be no return. And without return, there can be no revival and no restoration.”
But the ultimate message of The Harbinger II is the love, grace, and mercy of God will always be there for you when you return to Him. “God is love, and the greatest love is that which gives itself, puts itself in our place, bears our pain and sorrows, takes our hell and judgement, that we would never know it, that we would be saved. That’s the heart of God.” Because of God’s love for you and me He reveals these mysteries, so we know what’s to come and get a chance to get it right with Him before it’s too late. He loves us so much that He will always give us the chance to repent and return to Him.
My friend, “don’t put it off for tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes. All these things are reminders of how short, how fragile, and fleeting this life is. We live our lives just one heartbeat away from death. Every moment we have is separated from eternity by a single heartbeat. Every breath is borrowed, a gift from Him who gave us life and the only One who can give us life again. And no one knows when that last heartbeat and last breath will be. And then comes one of two eternities. But then it’s too late to choose. The only time we have to choose is now. As long as we have the heartbeat, we can choose. So He calls out to all of us and says, choose life.”
My friend choose life. Choose to repent. Choose to return.
God bless you.

Rabbi Jonathan Cahn continues the prophet saga that connects Israel's history and future with America. His knowledge of history gives a credible argument. And his knowledge of Scripture ties everything together. Sometimes too neatly. But no doubt he has given us much to think about.

Wow... What a bunch a baloney. I've only read a quarter of it, but I had enough, so my review is based on that.
It's like a Dan Brown (DaVinci Code) novel for Christians. Finds small insignificant historical details that happened on 9/11 (before 2001) then makes a quantum leap from there and concludes everything significant in US history happened on 9/11. It's not hard to find interesting details in US history on any date (just try to look a random date in history) and then artificially inflate the significance of that event by excluding other more significant events that don't match your favorite date. It's actually a fun exercise to try, assuming you don't take yourself too seriously and start writing a numerology book about it.
But worse than that, Cahn takes biblical prophecy pertaining strictly to Israel and applies it to the US with no credible justification to do so - l guess one can find a justification if one holds a very narrow view of space and time, centered around the 21st century, centered around America and around New York in particular. I guess it's believable for people who never traveled outside of US and who never seriously studied ancient and medieval history.
But yes, unfortunately I've heard all of that before, and I was half expecting it, so the part that really got to me was when he started to take biblical prophecy meant for Israel in FIGURATIVE language (sky of bronze for drought, eagles for swiftness) and applied it to America LITERALLY (copper particles in the 9/11 smoke, airborne attack)... So that's when I closed the book. Maybe the story gets a lot more interesting later and I'm missing out, but I doubt it.
To be clear, I do believe in the Bible. And I believe lessons from Israel's history are useful for us today. And I believe this moment in American history does require a spiritual reformation and repentance. But I don't believe the Bible has a secret code for America that nobody was able to figure out until after it happened. Period.
It gets one extra star from me though for not claiming 9/11 was an inside job or that moon landings were fake. Lol, the bar is low, I know. And for the fact the he has the decency to (thinly) veil all of this into a "fiction" story - just like Dan Brown I mentioned earlier - where the characters are fictional, but all the facts are supposedly real, so readers are expected to take it as non-fiction. I personally know people who do. And that's the part that really bugs me.

There is so much to say about this book. First and foremost, I had several family members who read the first Harbinger when it came out in 2012, and I quickly dismissed it. I thought that it was just another person trying to predict the end times and pretend that the Bible is about America.
Fast forward to 2020, and after some very strong inclinations to me personally from God, that have seemed to be fulfilled as of recent concerning the demise of America, and a very influential read of "Of Plymouth Plantation", I was sent the link to the event of The Return On September 26th. Within the first few minutes of the trailer Chan was putting into words my exact journey since November of 2019. Because of this I decided I should read The Harbinger II.
One of the things that I initially didn't like about the first Harbinger was its style, branding, and marketing. It came across very much like a Davinci Code. I now realize that this is intentional to appeal to a broad audience because the most important part of the book is a very clear and compelling presentation of the gospel. It makes sense why he would want to appeal to those that would not normally read a theological commentary of modern history.
And that is precisely what this book is, it is appraising the events of our world with a view that God's providence stands behind it all and that God is speaking to us. This is of the greatest significance, because indeed many Christians have fallen, either intentionally or unintentionally into a Deism. Cahn is clearly very rooted in the scriptures, and committed to the gospel, but he is doing what most do not dare to do. He is speaking to interpret the times from a theological perspective, and he does so very convincingly.
On a merely historical level, the facts stated are fascinating. For instance, I had no idea that president Lincoln called for a day of humiliation and repentance during the Civil War. I didn’t know Ronald Ragan called the US back to the vision of being a city on a hill. The list could go on and on. The facts alone are worth the read.
Now some would struggle with some of the connections made. Are they all legit? Or is he over interpreting dates and numbers? Probably to some extent. However, I couldn’t agree more with the general conclusion: America is under judgment by God and is being warned and called to repent.
This is what I do not hear many Christians at all being aware of or acknowledging. There is so little prayer and repentance happening, which is why I’m even more convinced of what is presented in the book. Because Chan believes what he is writing enough to call the world to a day of repentance and fasting. A day that cannot be a coincidence, that is 400 years from the departure of the Mayflower to America, 40 days before the election, and also falls in the Jewish calendar day of atonement and repentance. Coincidence? Many will think so, but I’m convinced that God is working through Chan and the events he presents here.
I’m currently living in an academic world where this book will be written off just as I wrote off his first book. But perhaps that’s part of the problem. Because it is not academic it will be seen as not authoritative by many. This is just another reason why the church in America easily misses what the Spirit has to say to the church.

Cahn is a master at correlating Old Testament passages to American events. He writes, “America was founded after the pattern of ancient Israel.” (221) America is falling the same way Israel did, he says. More judgment will come unless we repent.
Cahn proves his ideas with some stunning correlations between America and Israel. Most of them revolve around 9/11. New York has great significance in the role it plays, from the initial relationship to the current virus judgment. I am disappointed more of the information was not documented (I had to look up much to make sure Cahn was accurate). I am also a bit leery of all the correlations Cahn projects. As a student of science and statistics, I know one can find an amazing number of correlations with a specific date if one looks hard enough.
Nonetheless, this book is an important one in discussing the current state of America and the possibilities for its immediate future.
Sometimes I feel Cahn goes beyond the facts and makes broad assumptions. One concerns Winthrop and the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630. Winthrop declared a covenant with God when establishing that colony. Cahn broadens this one colony establishment to the entire American civilization. (108) He writes, “...we do know that America's founders made a covenant with God, based on Israel's covenant with God.” (108) Winthrop's covenant statement is broadened to all the founders without supporting evidence. There were several previous colonies founded, beginning with Jamestown in 1607. I do not think one can expand one man's words about the founding of one colony to the future of the entire nation. I know we want to believe America was founded as a “Christian” nation but one colony does not a nation make.
Cahn later appeals to George Washington's inaugural address, writing, “America's first government committed and consecrated the nation's future to God.” (231) Washington's actual words were, “...that Almighty Being...whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that his benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the People of the United States, a Government...” (See 1 below) Washington asked God to consecrate, or bless, the U. S. To me, that is not the same as dedicating the nation to God. (232) And Cahn says where Washington made his dedication of the nation is St. Paul's Chapel. (232) Not True. Washington's inaugural speech was at Federal Hall (26 Wall Street) not St. Paul's (209 Broadway). Granted, Washington went to services there after his speech but did not give his speech there.
This brings up a thought provoking question. Because Winthrop made a covenant statement, does that mean every American is involved? Because one group of people projected the image of a god on the Empire State Building, does that mean the entire city of New York is under God's judgment?
Sometimes Cahn doesn't give the whole story. The recent change in the abortion law in New York is a case in point. Cahn writes, “...the law legalized the killing of children up to the point of birth.” (191) He fails to notice the conditions required: danger to the mother's life or health or the lack of viability of the child outside the womb. I would rather such declarations by Cahn be more accurate.
And another issue. Cahn says the peek of the seven day average for the infection rate in New York was April 9 and April 10, exactly 50 years to the day New York expanded the abortion law. (229) Actually, the seven day rolling average peeked on April 8 at 5305, April 10 and April 11 rolling figures are 5205 and 5040, according to NYC Health website. (See 2 below) Cahn's source is a newspaper article, not the official state data source. This may be a small issue but Cahn makes a big deal of the “exact date.” It's not. While I verified many of the correlations, it does make me wonder about the others I did not take the time to check.
While I disagree with some of Cahn's information and conclusions, there is still enough amazing information in this book that a skeptic like me would recommend it. It is an important wake up call to the country to repent. Will the future hold more judgment or restoration?
While this is the second book in a series, there is no need to read first one as the basic harbingers revealed in that book are reviewed in this one. It should also be noted that this book is fiction.
I received a complimentary advanced reading copy of this book from the publisher. My comments are an independent and honest review.

Cahn proves his ideas with some stunning correlations between America and Israel. Most of them revolve around 9/11. New York has great significance in the role it plays, from the initial relationship to the current virus judgment. I am disappointed more of the information was not documented (I had to look up much to make sure Cahn was accurate). I am also a bit leery of all the correlations Cahn projects. As a student of science and statistics, I know one can find an amazing number of correlations with a specific date if one looks hard enough.
Nonetheless, this book is an important one in discussing the current state of America and the possibilities for its immediate future.
Sometimes I feel Cahn goes beyond the facts and makes broad assumptions. One concerns Winthrop and the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630. Winthrop declared a covenant with God when establishing that colony. Cahn broadens this one colony establishment to the entire American civilization. (108) He writes, “...we do know that America's founders made a covenant with God, based on Israel's covenant with God.” (108) Winthrop's covenant statement is broadened to all the founders without supporting evidence. There were several previous colonies founded, beginning with Jamestown in 1607. I do not think one can expand one man's words about the founding of one colony to the future of the entire nation. I know we want to believe America was founded as a “Christian” nation but one colony does not a nation make.
Cahn later appeals to George Washington's inaugural address, writing, “America's first government committed and consecrated the nation's future to God.” (231) Washington's actual words were, “...that Almighty Being...whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that his benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the People of the United States, a Government...” (See 1 below) Washington asked God to consecrate, or bless, the U. S. To me, that is not the same as dedicating the nation to God. (232) And Cahn says where Washington made his dedication of the nation is St. Paul's Chapel. (232) Not True. Washington's inaugural speech was at Federal Hall (26 Wall Street) not St. Paul's (209 Broadway). Granted, Washington went to services there after his speech but did not give his speech there.
This brings up a thought provoking question. Because Winthrop made a covenant statement, does that mean every American is involved? Because one group of people projected the image of a god on the Empire State Building, does that mean the entire city of New York is under God's judgment?

I wanted to like this book. My mother gave it to me to read because it means so much to her. The author provides a number of "correlations" between 9/11 and biblical predictions. If I understand the premise of the book, the author believes in a god who rewards nations who follow divine rules and punishes those who don't. As a result of the Roe V Wade ruling, and gay marriage rights, the USA is now being punished (9/11 and Covid). Evidently, stealing land from the original occupants and then practicing genocide was not worthy of punishment. Nor slavery. Nor Jim Crow, or income inequality. And it would seem that the Roe v Wade decision is the key sin rather than abortions themselves as the rate of abortion in the US has been steadily declining since the 1980s. The author confuses correlation with causation and worships a god, that to me seems intolerant and petty. My mother disagrees. She thinks every house in the USA should own a copy. I agree with my mother, that America seems to worship at the altar of money/profit. I disagree that this book charts a way forward. Besides all its other flaws, I found it repetitive with lumbering prose.

can you believe this took me like 3 years to read?? i started this in 2022...
this definitely starts as interesting stuff - the coincidences are too incredible to be true - but failed to retain my interest bc:
1. it's so repetitive. everything circles back to 9/11 and the same couple scriptures; the sequence of the scenes are the same: examine clue → find place → find prophet → Q&A interview with the prophet.
2. the coincidences are too incredible to be true
3. i'm from a Buddhist family + not from the US so the urgency basically failed to hit me...
i feel like this just didn't hit as hard as book 1 bc the repetitiveness was slowly building up? idk :/
oh, also, i strongly disagree with the view of abortion the author took so

Rabbi Cahn is a scholar of the scriptures and a gifted writer. His sequel to his best-selling first book, "The Harbinger" does not disappoint. He has focused on the events of 911 and delved deeply into new knowledge, lessons, and symbolic events. Approaching this book as a biblical and historical scholar, Rabbi Cahn unearths many truths and events. This book is a tribute to this scholar's ability to research and write.
His main characters from "The Harbinger," Nouriel and the mysterious Prophet return and are joined by Ana Goren. The book is fluid and the interplay between the characters is strong and heartfelt. After explaining the reason for the return of the prophet and the prophetic visions, we learn of many revelations about the symbolic and real truths that were realized on 911. They are stunning and troubling at times. Among the best chapters are: "The Gate" (chapter 4), "The Towers" (chapter 5), "The Wall" (chapter 6), "The Birds of Prey" (chapter 13), "The Hidden" (chapter 21), "The Image" (chapter 22), "Tophet" (chapter 25), "The Plague (chapter 29), and .
Next, come the manifestations which lay the groundwork for what will come next - the judgement of God. The arrogant boast, "We remember, we rebuild, we come back stronger," uttered first by Israel and later by the USA is revealed to be a terrible slant of God. The author clearly states that this country has ignored the warnings of God and will soon pay for its arrogance.
The author spends the last two chapters reminding believers that God always has revealed coming calamity through prophetic acts and events. Like a watchman of old, Rabbi Cahn he warns us of coming disaster and a spiritual re-awakening. The country must re-apply itself for the purposes of God and His kingdom. The author ends by urging all to be ready for 'the Day of Judgement" approaches.
This was a well-documented book and in spite of its redundancy, it informed and intrigued me.

This book is organized in 4 parts with a total of 35 chapters and talks about revelations, signs and warnings for a nation in danger. The author shares stories through the dreams with a combination of history and supporting Biblical scriptures. Chapter 11 titled The Mystery Ship, piqued my interest as the author ties it in with the event of September 11th at the end of the chapter. Chapter 12 titled "The Parasha," also piqued my interest because the setting takes place in a library discussing scrolls and "The book of days". Published in September 2020, the author weaves in the event of September 11 throughout the book along with everything about America that he can squeeze into the chapters while also including Covid-19 and the manifestations of this period of history. Overall, I'm glad I borrowed this book from the library and did not purchase the book.

A Must Read for Everyone!
I highly recommend this book to everyone. This will open your eyes to what is really going on! It all started twenty years ago.

Not a bad book of prophecy. It was very interesting how so many things in this tied together and really makes me think of how coincidental things seem. It was also a good history lesson that linked events from the Bible to other events in more recent history together. All in all I think this was a pretty good duology. However, this book seemed a bit repetitive of the first. It did drag out some, but glad I took the time and didn’t give up on it.

If you personally had the power to change the course of world history, would you do so? If you had a prayer to pray every day that changed the history of the United States in 1863, would you pray it? Please do the following:
1. The Harbinger II speaks of President Abraham Lincoln Appointing a Day of National Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer on Thursday, April 30, 1863. The country prayed and fasted and several things happened the next day that changed the course of history. Research Proclamation 97 by Abraham Lincoln. This could almost be written for today. Read this and adapt it to your own daily prayer.
2. Go to https://thereturn.org/ and look at About: Our Board of Advisors. Scroll down to see the list of names. Next, go to the Be A Part tab and choose the category that applies to you. The ten days of Prayer and Repentance are September 18-28, 2020, but the livestream of the main event in Washington D.C. is Saturday, September 26, 2020, .as described on the https://thereturn.org/ website. Jonathan Cahn is a co-sponsor of this event.
3. Order several copies of The Harbinger II book – one for yourself and some for others.
Although I received an Advance Reader Copy of The Harbinger II book for my honest, unbiased review, I have ordered five more copies – one for myself and four for family members who live in other states. I am working with several churches in the area. One church is inviting people from the community to the live stream and I believe they will have books for sale. I am working with another church for a live stream and feel so strongly about everyone reading this book that I have ordered 100 additional copies of The Harbinger II and will give 80 of these to this second church and keep 20 to give out as God leads me. The condition is that they use the proceeds to buy more books until there is no longer anyone who wants a book and then donate the money to the St. Cloud Community Pantry.
Get your church and the community involved. Pray that God will have mercy on our nation. Bring as many people to Christ at this time as possible. If you are not fully committed to Jesus, then now is the time to repent. Since the original Harbinger book, our nation has turned away from God even more. Now we are seeing more severe shakings. I was so emotional that I had to stop reading the book several times. Jonathan Cahn’s revelations in this book are shocking and sensational. This is a must read for everyone before the September event in Washington D.C. Will our nation repent or face the ultimate judgment?

The Harbinger II Bodes Bodacious…
The most compelling aspect of The Harbinger II: The Return by Jonathan Cahn for me as a novelist is how the tale of modern day Old Testament prophecy is configured by the author.
I liken this structure of the novel to my own Rapture Series III work-in-progress that seeks to complete the New Testament Book of Revelation through similar means employed by Cahn in his rather remarkable analogy between divine judgment of Ancient Israel and the rise of America, its ongoing collapse and the promise America holds for triumphant return to supernatural power.
Although the historical detail in the The Harbinger II is Ancient Israel-centric in its parallel to the origins and current condition of New York City, Boston and Washington D.C., the ZEITGEIST captured in the novel is of kindred spirit to that which pervades my own Rapture III, whether it’s the comparison between global COVID-19 lockdown and The Passover decreed by Moses in Ancient Egypt or the biblical 9/11 connection to the formation, destruction and revival of America itself.
Ultimately, Cahn’s Messianic Jewish conclusion of the novel is compelling for its statement of apocalyptic mysticism, which underscores the relevance of the book for me specifically because I, too, find myself empowered to write about the most dynamic and visceral collapse of civilization through the filter of the literature and wisdom traditions that foretell of our demise and resurrection.
I highly recommend The Harbinger II for these reasons, plus the fact that the history upon which Cahn writes about is unfolding all around us even as these words are written and read.

I would describe this book as not very well written. There is a message to it that is kind of nice, and which is best described in one paragraph on the last page. Cahn takes a really long time getting to it, so I'm going to put it here so you don't have to read any further if you don't want to:
"You see, we live our lives in between the trumpets and the Day of Judgement, when we will each stand before Him and eternity. And so the trumpets are sounding even now and calling out to us to say, 'You don't have forever. For your days on earth are numbered and ending. So whatever you would do, you must do it now. If you would ever turn to God, you must turn to Him now; if you would ever repent and come back, you must do it now; if you would ask for forgiveness, you must ask for it now; if you would ever be cleansed and made new, you must be so now; if you would ever make it right, you must make it right now; if you would ever be saved, you must be saved now; and if you would ever live the life you were created and called to live, you must live it now. For we will never pass this way again. And the time we have on earth...these are the Days of Awe."
That is a good message and deserves to be told, but as I said, Cahn takes an awfully long time getting to it. The entire book consists of a conversation between Nouriel and a girl named Ana who we find out very little about. In the first third of the book, Nouriel is describing a series of dreams he had, and every single one points to the fact that the 9-11 terrorist attacks were God's judgement on America. It gets quite repetitive, and even more so in the second third, when Nouriel describes a series of meetings he had with the Prophet in the real world (although at this point I'm not sure he's clear on the difference). The answer to every question comes up 9-11, and every time Nouriel speaks it with an exclamation point, as though shocked to discover yet another link to his obsession. This carries on into the third act, which takes place in 2020 and describes the COVID-19 plague as yet another judgement. I kept waiting for The Prophet to make some pronouncement about the future of our nation, but the above paragraph is the best he does. He tells nothing about the future, but is merely dwelling on the past. The whole thing ends with an "About Jonathan Cahn" section where you can sign up for one of his Israel tours. I don't feel like we would get along, so I'm not going to pursue this author any further, but he's right. Our nation is fallen, and we do need to repent, and if someone has actually been inspired by this book then I'll say it can't be that bad.

This book has some interesting concepts and things that make you think. I do agree that our world is in chaos and it might have started around 9/11.
The writing itself does not really flow and feels stilted.
I have not read the previous book so really wonder why the author is sharing this information through other character names.

If you live in America, this book is VITAL to read
Remember all those times you read your Bible and thought ‘wow if I was X I would have never been that stubborn and would have listened to God and his prophets!’. Well now God is giving us the chance to make a better decision.
Church, we must wake up and see what God is saying to us!!! It is urgent!!

This book is endless repetitive. Essentially a reprint of the first book with more details. It was a relief when I finished it.

This is a must read, incredible information about the beginning (birth) of our nation with plenty of history through the years and connections to the Old Testament!!!

A rehash although a pleasant enough style of conversation. Nothing really new
January 7, 2023
I read the first book a decade ago and remember being impressed with it. I know these are controversial, but rather than debate on conspiracy theories, the nuances of numerology, or otherwise, I like to approach books with the goal of learning something.
And this book certainly had much to say.
I was most interested in the sequel to see what updates the author would add post 9/11. I didn't really remember much from the first book, but that was fine since he spent the first half of the sequel recapping XD Admittedly, even in the prose itself, I got really tired of the repetitions. Ana would ask a question, Nouriel wouldn't know, then he'd tell about the seal, and a dream he didn't know what meant, speak with the prophet, etc. The pattern got old, but even within the patter, the dialogue was often the exact same. The characters would repeat what one another said. Sometimes it takes more than an exclamation point to convey emotion. So, I actually did end up skimming through some passages when the pattern emerged so I could focus on the point and the revelations themselves, rather than the cheap imitation of someone putting pieces together.
That said, the dates and historical bits and pieces--while I would guess the author took some liberties in the dreams and such--were rather intriguing. Some revelations were honestly spooky. The empire state building one got me. Man, talk about creepy!
But honestly, when I come away from this book, I don't see the writing, the hype, or the strong tug to one side of an argument or other. What I see is a clear call to return to the Father. I hear the rustling in my spirit to be faithful with what He's given me, to live in the way He's called me, and to pray for my leaders, nation, and world. That I think is the true heart behind this book, no matter it's presentation: to remember our beloved Creator and His word. To prepare ourselves for the Day of Judgement and to show Christ's love to our brethren while He gives us breath to do so.
I'd probably only recommend the book to someone who would 1. enjoy the historical connections and consider the spiritual impact or 2. see beyond the superficial conspiracies to a deeper heart. To each their own, and it isn't really for me to decide what you believe or read. This could be an easy rabbit hole to fall down if you're into that kind of thing. But it isn't the height of storytelling and ultimately nothing but the Bible is my holy text (not that this pretends to be a higher authority than it should). In terms of content, there's allusion to violence and some stark accountability to violence our nation has perpetuated, but nothing graphic within the story itself. The book is probably fine for any teenager that would be interested, though I think a parent with whom to discuss some of the revelations and spiritual aspects would be healthy.
And this book certainly had much to say.
I was most interested in the sequel to see what updates the author would add post 9/11. I didn't really remember much from the first book, but that was fine since he spent the first half of the sequel recapping XD Admittedly, even in the prose itself, I got really tired of the repetitions. Ana would ask a question, Nouriel wouldn't know, then he'd tell about the seal, and a dream he didn't know what meant, speak with the prophet, etc. The pattern got old, but even within the patter, the dialogue was often the exact same. The characters would repeat what one another said. Sometimes it takes more than an exclamation point to convey emotion. So, I actually did end up skimming through some passages when the pattern emerged so I could focus on the point and the revelations themselves, rather than the cheap imitation of someone putting pieces together.
That said, the dates and historical bits and pieces--while I would guess the author took some liberties in the dreams and such--were rather intriguing. Some revelations were honestly spooky. The empire state building one got me. Man, talk about creepy!
But honestly, when I come away from this book, I don't see the writing, the hype, or the strong tug to one side of an argument or other. What I see is a clear call to return to the Father. I hear the rustling in my spirit to be faithful with what He's given me, to live in the way He's called me, and to pray for my leaders, nation, and world. That I think is the true heart behind this book, no matter it's presentation: to remember our beloved Creator and His word.

A Voice in the Wilderness!
PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW ON MY BLOG: http://bookreadingtic.com/2020/09/05/... THANK YOU!
Although Harbinger II was written like a narrative, actual facts were used instead of fiction. This book states that we are close to God’s judgement, and if things don't change, He will soon be invoking it. We need to alter how we live, if there is to be any hope for us. An impressive number of harbingers—indicators—bear that out. This volume traces those signs from the beginning of our country, to the present day.
Additionally, many parallels are drawn between our nation and ancient Israel. Both countries, when formed, were dedicated to God. Despite that, both nations turned their backs on God and began calling what was wrong right, and right wrong. As ancient Israel sacrificed their children to idols, our babies today have been sacrificed because they were inconvenient. It stands to reason that the punishments Israel suffered awaits us as well.
Jonathan Cahn makes a very good case that everything said is true. The fact that the present-day world seems to be falling apart around us, only adds to the credibility of his claim. I challenge you to read this book yourself, and decide what you think—but I wouldn’t wait too long. While reading, I suggest using a Bible and a computer to check out the statements made. This 5-star book is recommended to anyone interested in what our future might hold.

This was an eye-popping, jaw-dropping, you-have-got-to-kidding type of book. It goes into deeper mysteries concerning September 11, 2001, the day the changed the world. For those whose eyes are opened, one can't help but believe that day was foretold thousands of years earlier. A nation that once knew God and turns away is bound for destruction. America has followed the exact same template and God used 9-11 as a warning wake up call.
God is also a God of mercy and uses judgment to call His people back to Him. When people and a nation repents He will bless them abundantly. The book revealed a time in American history when a president turned the people back to God. As a result of a national day of prayer, the course of history was turned which eventually effected the entire world. Yes! Prayer and repentance really do make a difference in world history.
This is a modern book which discusses our present day problem of the coronavirus epidemic. This too was prophesied. It very likely is a judgment of all the abortions that have been committed in the past fifty years. God will NOT let sin go unpunished. He still calls people to repentance. It is only through Jesus that we will receive forgiveness and healing.

Any student of Bible prophecy will be interested in this testimony and analysis of the End Days we live in. Jonathan Cahn is a prophet and the Messianic rabbi whose voice was appointed for such a time as this. The prophetic word herein is a warning to America to awake and repent. There are patterns to the universe and God is mathematically precise in His timing and judgment. 9/11 was a shaking--God's call for us to wake up and change. But then we went back to our old ways. And worse. In the nineteen years since that strike, we have not repented. We have fallen deeper into depravity. This book outlines our actions as a nation (through our leaders) and serves as a watchman on the wall. It's all in here--supported with Scripture as well as other thorough research documentation. Ripped from the headlines, Cahn shows us how the Bible is coming alive before our very eyes. Wonder about COVID-19 and what it all means? Wonder why 2020 seems to be the year from hell? Read the Harbinger II. It's all in here.

This is mind boggling to see the parallels between the harbingers over ancient Israel and over the US. MINDBOGGLING! This book is also an opportunity to look at the history of the US to see the cause and effect of humbling ourselves before God, as a nation and honoring the covenant He made with us.
Most importantly, it tells of the lamb that was slain to take away the sins of the world. "The justice of God is found in judgement-but the heart of God you find in the cross, in the lamb. God is love, and the greatest love is that which gives itself, puts itself in our place, bears our pain and sorrows, takes our hell and judgement, that we would never know it, that we would be saved. So when we speak of judgement, remember, God is the One who bears all judgement on Himself that we would never have to. God is the love... and love is the lamb."
We must return. We must repent so that He will heal our land.

( I have been blessed by having been on a pre-release book launch team for this title; having received an advanced copy in exchange for a review. )
Where to start .. I will be honest, I am still a bit new to Jonathan Cahn's writing. Adding that to the strong 9/11 connection in this book, I thought the read was going to be a rough one.
I was wrong.
So many takeaways, historic confirmations, an engaging writing style that never disappointed, and characters that won't be soon forgotten, This book was not just ' a book ', but an experience. One that ended too soon for me.
Somehow though .. I sense there just may be more to come. Until then, prayers continually going up that both of the Harbinger books be made into movies.

We all know 2020 has been an unprecedented year, but do you know why? Jonathan Cahn takes a deeper look at 9/11/2001 and the Harbingers he presented in his first book. He then reveals the Harbingers that have happened since, before explaining what is happening now in 2020. This book lays out so clearly the path America is on, and the many details that comprise the message coming from God that it is undeniable to those who wish to listen. The revelations will leave you stunned. God is calling. Are you ready?

Jonathan Cahn’s writing style is unique but his message is very important and necessary. This is the 4th of his books that I have read and I would highly recommend them to everyone. The prophecy is coming true as we watch and live our lives. There is no time to waste. The time to return to God and humble ourselves is now.

The Subject matter is quite fascinating, intriguing and awe inspiring. The spiritual messages it brings are not to be dismissed. Indeed, the fulfillment of prophesy , what is and is to come, should be taken to heart. However, if you are reading this book as a novel, you'll be grossly disappointed unless you're 12 or under.
