The Shemitah Has Arrived, The Stock Market Tumbles

Regardless of what happens in the days ahead, if we only look at what has happened up through today we can officially confirm that the Shemitah has arrived.  Nothing else has to happen but we can rest assured much will happen.

As of today the stock markets of the world have been rocked, this time the US equity markets were included.  Today marks the 9th largest drop in Dow Jones history and nobody expects we have completed the drop yet.  What is more, the stock market/equity markets of the world are not the primary targets of this Shemitah cycle, the bond markets are.

What is happening right now according to legendary trader Martin Armstrong is the stock market corrections around the world are pushing money into bonds to complete the bond bubble.  Once bonds have been sufficiently over inflated (helped along nicely by worldwide equity markets), the bond market will pop and we will see the real correction unfold.

As of today, brother Cahn is vindicated in warning the world of a possible Shemitah correction, it has officially arrived. 

The Lord has a time for everything:

Ecc 3:1There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:

Now it is time for the Shemitah and Jubilee.  What is interesting about the timing of this Shemitah is, Sunday 8/16/2015 was Elul 1.  Did you see brother Cahns latest video that was posted  a few days ago?  Elul 1 was this past Sunday, today is Elul 6 and we are well underway for this cycle's Shemitah and Jubilee which culminate on Elul 29, 9/13/2015 about 3 weeks from now.

Our God is very great.  His hand is unmistakably on the financial markets of this world.  In a backslidden anti-Christ world that is all about mammon, there is no better way to get people's attention then to strike at the heart of financial markets.  In fact, isn't that what the Shemitah year, and Jubilee year are all about?  It is a time to turn from worldly things to focus on spiritual, Godly, Jehovah and Jesus Christ things.

This time, during this Shemitah no one unless they have been living under a rock can say they had not heard about what was coming.  So what?  Whats the point?

The point is this:  the entire tribulation period is the Lord using over the top extremes to get people's attention.  The world and its people have become so normalized, so detached from everything that it will take these extremes to actually get their attention.  It has started.  This major drop in world equity markets was the first salvo in a spiritual artillery barrage that will last for years.  Amazingly, most people will shrug it all off.  Absolutely amazing.  The point in these extremes (financial, natural, supernatural, societal, political etc) is to get our attention.

Does the Lord have our attention?  He certainly has mine.  I told Him a long time ago that He does not have to kick me in the teeth to get my attention.  Just whisper to me and if the command is "jump!" my only question will be "how high?"  We are to be the broken hearted, the lowly and contrite who tremble at His Word.  We are to be those servants who only need a whispered command to swiftly move into action to do our Master's bidding.

His hand is at work and the world is trembling....can you see it?  Glory to God.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

September 23, 2015 Part 2

I have been asking the Lord about September, 2015.  I asked Him about this September 23, 2015 date "is anything going to happen?"  I do not think I received a direct answer but what He did share left me in amazement.

Bottom line up front:  There is a link between the day of atonement, Jubilee and the tribulation.

Today I stumbled across a brother Jonathan video from 3 years (roughly) ago.  Thanks to brother Jonathan and some commentary from the Spirit of the Lord during and after watching that video I believe I have more of an answer than I had before about this September.

What are the pieces of the puzzle we need to put together to get the big picture?

The Jubilee year begins on the day of atonement.  Why does a festive year like Jubilee start with the most solemn day of the Hebrew calendar?  You cannot get to the joy and celebration without going through the atonement and reconciliation for sin.  Sin must be dealt with first, then when we are right with the Lord we can all celebrate but first things first.

So here is what brother Cahn did, he typed in the words associated with day of atonement/Jubilee and searched the Bible for those words.  The words are "sin, iniquity, transgression" from Leviticus 16 (the scapegoat and the day of atonement."  When he typed those words into the search there was only one return.  Here it is:

Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place."

And there it is, a direct link between the day of atonement, the Jubilee year and the tribulation (Daniel's seventieth week).  But the Lord was not finished with this, there is more.....

What do we know about the Shemitah?

Leviticus 25 teaches there is a Shemitah year, a sabbath year of rest after every 6 years.  Israel stopped observing the Lord's command to rest the land every 7th year so what resulted was the Babylonian captivity.  Israel was to remain captive in Babylon for 70 years, 1 year for every Shemitah year that was not observed.


 Jer 25: 8“Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘Because you have not obeyed My words, 9behold, I will send and take all the families of the north,’ declares the LORD, ‘and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and will bring them against this land and against its inhabitants and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them and make them a horror and a hissing, and an everlasting desolation. 10‘Moreover, I will take from them the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp. 11‘This whole land will be a desolation and a horror, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

2 Chroni 36:21to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths. All the days of its desolation it kept sabbath until seventy years were complete.

So?  What does that have to do with today?  The financial markets of the world have been a witness to the re-established Shemitah cycle.  Brother Cahn wrote a best selling book about this cycle.  Why has the Shemitah cycle come back to life?  What happened in June of 1967?  The reunification of Jerusalem after about 2000 years......Add the Shemitah cycles up from 1967 to this year and what do you get?  1967+49=? 2016.  When does 2016 start according to the Hebrew calendar?  This September.  Rosh Hashanah falls on 9/13/15 making Yom Kippur, day of atonement in the new year...2016.

So, if Israel has not been observing the Shemitah for the past 49 years (7 Shemitah cycles), according to the Lords judgement in the Babylonian captivity what could be next?  The Lord will force a sabbath rest (just as He did before) of one year for every Shemitah cycle that has not been observed.   One Shemitah cycle every 7 years divided by the total number of years (49 years-from June 1967, with provable market impacts every 7th year=verification of Shemitah years) not observed gives us a 7 year period of forced observance of the Shemitah cycle.

A 7 year period of forced Shemitah observance?  Daniel's seventieth week...To take all this to the next level we can realize the purpose of the sabbath day of rest and year of rest were to put worldly things aside for that time and focus on our relationship with the Lord.  If they will not do it willingly, it will be forced just as it was before.  Truly amazing.

An interesting fact to add to all this is the Pope will be in Washington DC to make some kind of announcement from the capitol on 9/24.

Time is short.  There will not be another Jubilee year for 50 more years.  There will not be another lunar tetrad on the feast days for hundreds of years (or something like that).  The point is we have every warning sign conceivable staring us in the face right now today.  Whatever happens in the days ahead, we cannot say we were not warned.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

What The Shemitah Has Taught Us

The Shemitah cycle has been alive and well for decades if not longer.  Brother Cahn has proven this extensively in his book and videos.  The most interesting part is, the Shemitah cycle is affecting everyone, not just Israel.  This has been a point of emphasis here for a few days now.  It does not matter if someone things they are exempt because they think they are not "under the law."  It does not matter if they do not believe anything in the Old Testament applies to them.  The cycle and its impacts have affected everyone.  If you have a bank account, or money in any investment account or if you are involved in the world economy in any way, it affects you.


What is coming up this fall is a Jubilee which in essence is a super-Shemitah.  What happens during a Jubilee?  Debts are cancelled and slaves are released.  According to legendary forecaster Martin Armstrong, the next major crisis to hit this world will be a bond (debt) crisis.  Government bonds are in the process of pumping (up) in preparation for a catastrophic dump (down).  All of this is to happen precisely aligned with the coming Jubilee year that begins in Sept 2015.

If I did not know the time of Jacob's trouble was coming I would almost say we should all rejoice.   The world economy is built upon debt and debt is slavery.  The entire world system is built upon economic slavery and this current system is about to be wiped out by the Lord's super-cycles called the Shemitah and Jubilee.

As brother Jonathan Cahn explains in his videos, the Shemitah and Jubilee were designed as a blessing but when the people are disobedient and defiant it becomes are curse.  Are the people of this world living in obedience or disobedience to the Lord's commands?  They are disobedient.  So what is coming?  More of the curse.  Why do I say more?  Because as past Shemitah cycles have shown the economy is being wiped out in pieces.  Moreover, other aspects of the Lord's curse on disobedient children are evident now as well.  Recently we discussed some aspects of the curses laid out in Deuteronomy 28.  Now lets look at some of the curses presented in Leviticus 26.  The curses in Leviticus 26 are laid out progressively from bad to worse.  The curse we are seeing right now (in America) is just the beginning:

Lev 26

Punishments for Disobedience

14“However, if you do not listen to me or obey all these commands, 15and if you break my covenant by rejecting my decrees, treating my regulations with contempt, and refusing to obey my commands, 16I will punish you. I will bring sudden terrors upon you—wasting diseases and burning fevers that will cause your eyes to fail and your life to ebb away. You will plant your crops in vain because your enemies will eat them. 17I will turn against you, and you will be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will run even when no one is chasing you!

18“And if, in spite of all this, you still disobey me, I will punish you seven times over for your sins. 19I will break your proud spirit by making the skies as unyielding as iron and the earth as hard as bronze. 20All your work will be for nothing, for your land will yield no crops, and your trees will bear no fruit.

Just look at the few underlined places in the scripture above:

1.  What do we live in today?  An age of what?  Terrorism.  That would be verse 16.

2.  It has been written here many times in the past that people do not get who they vote for, they get who they deserve.  What do the people of America and this world deserve right now?  To be ruled over by people who hate them.  That would be verse 17.

3.  What is one of the Lord's signature judgements throughout the Bible?  Drought.  Look at the entire American west and in particular California today.  That would be verse 19.

Only God Almighty could have predicted what is happening with such startling accuracy thousands of years in advance.  His Shemitah cycle and Jubilee super-cycle are hitting precisely at a time of super disobedience, wickedness and corruption.

Speaking of cycles and super-cycles we are also seeing a transition from a Gentile cycle into a Jewish one.

Luke 21.24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.


All of this business of a Shemitah and Jubilee has a decidedly Jewish flavor to it.  We have been unknowingly witnessing minor cycles bloom into a major cycle.  We are witnessing the end of a Gentile cycle and the emergence of a Jewish cycle.  Thus the prominence today of the Shemitah cycle that has become so obvious that even worldly commentators and making note of it.

 We are entering the time of Jacob's trouble. 

As with the emergence of any major cycle it does not show up one day unannounced.  No, major cycles announce themselves well in advance and they take time to transition.  Unfortunately most people do not pay attention until they are punched squarely in the face by the arrival of the new cycle then they say "who saw this coming?"

Few would debate the fact that Matt 24 is an "end times" chapter of the Bible.  When we look at that chapter what do we see?  Verse 1 Chapter 24 talks about the destruction of the temple.  The temple-decidedly Jewish (not Church centric).  Verse 15-the abomination, where?  The temple, decidedly Jewish (not Church centric).  What are the final 7 years called?  The time of Jacob's trouble-decidedly Jewish (not Church centric).  What are we witnessing this very day?  The transition out of the Gentile cycle into the Jewish cycle as evidenced by among other things the return to prominence of the Shemitah and Jubilee.

Do we see this reflected in the book of Revelation?  You bet we do.  Revelation has 22 chapters.  The church is specifically mentioned by name in Rev 2-3 then it is specifically mentioned no more.

 By the time we reach chapter 7 of 22 chapters the Lord is calling out entirely, completely, wholly Jewish members and tribes.  Again the wave or cycle shifts from Gentile to Jew.

Will there be Christians participating in the time of Jacob's trouble?  Sure but it was not meant for them.  We have the entire New Testament that includes the Words of our Lord Jesus Himself along with all the apostles and nowhere in there do we read about "the time of the Church's trouble?"  No?  Why not?  Because the entire Church age has been the time of the Church's trouble starting with Christians being fed to lions to all the martyr's and saints of Christ being subjected to the most vile treatment known to man up to the present day persecution of Christians throughout the world in every country of the world including America.

We were told to pray for escape because there is an escape from what is coming.

Luke 21:34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

We were given Noah and Lot as examples:

Luke 17:26And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Did Noah escape all that was about to happen to him?  Yes
Did Lot escape all that was about to happen to him?  Yes

(And they both did it with their families by the way)

So too we are told to pray for escape.  Those who preach and teach that there is no escape from all that is coming are probably right concerning themselves, but not us.  They preach that somebody has to be in the tribulation to convert others etc.  What better people to do it than those who preach it!  (this is just my opinion) but what is not opinion is the Lord blesses and rewards people according to their faith and/or belief.  What we believe or do not believe matters!

Matt 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.


The time of transition is upon us, it is right at the door.  Starting this year the economy will begin its final descent into oblivion.  What will arise out of the economic ashes will be a system that includes the mark of the beast to be able to buy or sell anything.

We have a hope based on the New Testament promise of Old Testament fact.  Noah and Lot escaped all of what was about to happen to them.  Let us pray as obedient children in accordance with the command given to us by our Lord through the Holy Spirit:

36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
