The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Flew down to Charlotte to do a site inspection on a new potential acquisition. Rented a car from Avis, hit the scan button to find a decent radio station (car didn't have Bluetooth or none of this would have happened). Caught a snippet of ..."the Shemitah" and thought how unusual that was for NC.
Listened for about 15 minutes and made a note to myself to buy the book on Amazon. At the airport on the way back home, bought a water and staring right at me on the book display "The Mystery of the Shemitah" by Johnathan Cahn. Started reading and could not put the book down.
God reveals himself to a nation and a people. When they understand that blessings come from God, they are blessed and prosper. When they turn away and respond with arrogance, they soon discover that arrogance and ego are forces that cannot sustain a nation. In the years before 586 BC the Israelite refused to follow God's laws, refused to honor the Sabbath of Years and turned away in arrogance. They were given plenty of opportunity to turn back to Source, instead they greeted the warnings with arrogance, contempt and ego. They would rebuilt! In 586 BC the nation was leveled and lay fallow for the 70 years of rest they thought they could ignore.
Without providing spoilers, the authors draws several stark, irrefutable comparisons between the judgement that fell on Israel and what is befalling the formerly great nation known as America.
