Jonathan Cahn - The Harbinger Companion with Study Guide

And just as ominously, since The Harbinger came out, what the book foreshadowed is actually coming true. The harbingers are continuing. There is not here space to go into it, but suffice it to say, the mystery, the pattern, and the progression are continuing.

Given the overall direction of American culture before and after 9/11, people have asked me if there is any hope for the nation. In view of the message of The Harbinger , how can there be any hope? It’s just the opposite. Only if there were no harbingers, no signs, and no warnings, would there be no hope. A warning implies the possibility of response, of heeding the warning. If the harbingers are signs, then so is the fact that what was deemed “the miracle of 9/11,” the saving of St. Paul’s Chapel, happened through the Sycamore of Ground Zero, one of the Nine Harbingers. This underscores a point—the purpose of the harbingers, and the purpose of The Harbinger , is not to consign a nation to judgment but to warn it, to wake it up, that it might not be judged.

The doctor who tells his patient he is fine, when he has a potential disease, is giving the patient no hope. But the doctor who reveals the disease warns the man and tells him what he must do if he wants to live is the one who gives hope. In the same way, the purpose of an alarm is not to bring danger to the one hearing it but to save the one hearing it from danger. The Harbinger is this, not only the revealing of ancient mysteries, the uncovering of a biblical template of judgment, and not a trumpet call, the sounding of an alarm, but a book of hope. As with the harbingers themselves, that is the purpose.

What is the hope? For the one who doesn’t know the Lord, the hope is salvation. For America, the call is to return. And for those who do know the Lord, it is the hope to come to God in humility, prayer, intercession, and repentance, and to rise to the call of being lights to the world, even lights to America. The hope is revival. How much is needed to turn the course of a nation or to avert judgment? In the case of Sodom, it was only ten people. We don’t know the answer. So all the more, we must turn and seek.

Because of the massive response and interest surrounding The Harbinger and the demand for more concerning it, I have been asked to write and help put together a companion to the book as well as a study guide. The following work is the result. It consists of a full thirteen-week course of deeper study designed for individuals, for groups, and for classes and congregations. It is constructed to guide those who want more into deeper exploration into the mysteries of The Harbinger and the biblical foundations of those mysteries, deeper insight into current events and what is happening before our eyes, and the application of the message and call of The Harbinger into a deeper relationship with God, repentance, consecration, anointing, and revival.

In addition to deeper study are special features and articles for those who want more—including:

• A guided tour of The Harbinger

• The most often asked questions about The Harbinger

• How the message went forth to the nation

• The key biblical figures

• Who is the prophet?

• The seals and the seal behind the seals

• Signs of the end

• Where is America in end-time prophecy?

• And more

For you who are now reading this, I pray it will be a blessing to you.

And most of all I pray that God’s will for your life will be fulfilled and, through your reading and studying this book, that God will strengthen you, encourage you, edify you, consecrate you, appoint you, and empower you for all that He has called for your life; that the word will spread and the trumpet will sound through your life; and that He will have His appointed will fulfilled for such a time as this. I thank the Lord for your prayers as well.

May the Lord bless and keep you!

In His love and service,
