Harbingers From The Ancient Hebrew Scriptures

Long before Jonathan Cahn came out with his New York Times best seller "The Harbinger"  I have been giving warnings about God's anger with America. We are a nation that was founded upon Biblical principles, by men who were deeply devoted to seeking God's guidance and favor for this nation. I understand there are people who try to deny this fact, but they are just simply ignorant of real history. Yes there was a freemason influence among our Founding Fathers, but the majority were men of the cloth, teaching and believing sound Biblical principles. There are too many documents from our founding fathers own pens remaining today, to refute those who wish to rewrite history. In order to advance their evil agenda, they have been working  hard to bring America into ignorance about our past. They write books about our history with no footnotes. Who needs footnotes, they say. They say this because they have nothing to support their lies. Give me footnotes. Give me the source from where your information is coming. The truth is readily available to anyone who is honest enough to seek for it. If you cannot give it to me, I will assume the reason is, because it is fictitious. This nation was brought about by men who believed in God. They humbled themselves before Him, sought His guidance and believed in His Providence. 

Soon after America gained their independence from England, Haiti was seeking independence  from France and turned their attention to Satan for their help. In 1804, Haiti gained their independence. The results are obvious. America has been the most blessed nation on earth, as long as we were following after God's ways. Haiti on the other hand is one of the most poverty stricken and cursed nations on earth. The nation to this day is heavily into voodoo and witchcraft. The evidence is right before your eyes, if you will only see it.

While reading the Book of Deuteronomy soon after the 9/11/2001 attack on America, I had a revelation to something I had not previously noticed. I came across the Scriptures concerning the blessings and curses God had given to His people Israel in chapter 28. I believe the words of Almighty God to be eternal. If, He says these things to His Israel, the natural bloodline of Abraham, He also intends for them to apply to Abraham's seed by faith. I do not believe in a natural and a spiritual Israel. I do not believe the Scriptures teach that. We are Abraham's seed, by faith. It's supernatural. One people, one God.

While reading this chapter, I could only wonder in agreement with all the blessings God had promised to His people, as long as they were following His ways. It was very easy to apply these blessings to America. When I was a child, there could have been no doubt.  We were the most God fearing nation on earth. We were also, without a doubt, the most blessed nation on earth. There had never been a successful attack upon American soil. We had God's protection. Then I came to verse 15 and it stood apart from the previous 14 verses. It said this;

"But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee."  (KJV)

I thought on that verse for quite some time. I thought about how we kicked prayer and Bible reading out of our schools. I thought about how abortion kills countless unborn ever year and how we pass out condoms to school children. I thought about the normalization of the gay lifestyle and how God calls it an abomination. As I continued reading, more verses started to stick out like the proverbial sore thumb. There are many, but for the sake of brevity, I shall only point to the ones that should be perfectly clear to any thinking person. Verses 49 & 50 says this:

"The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; A nation of  fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young." (KJV)

Ask yourself a few questions about the above verses. Who were the people that attacked us? Where did they come from? They were Saudi people, or descendants of the ancient Assyrians. They are the exact same people who attacked ancient Israel to breach their defenses and later defeat them. They came from the other side of the earth. How did they attack us?  They attacked us as swift as the eagle flies and exactly in the same manner an eagle attacks its prey. They attacked from the sky upon an unsuspecting prey. Who would have thought we were about to be attacked? I had never given it a moment's thought. What about you? How many Americans are familiar with, or speak Arabic? Did any of the people on the planes used in the attack understand what the hijackers were saying? If they did, perhaps, they may have been able to stop them. Many people today look upon the appearance of radical Islamists and view them as a fierce looking people. Many understand that they don't care whom they kill. Young, or old, it does not matter to them, as long as it's in the name of Allah. Those who died in these attacks ranged from infants to the very aged. Now notice the words in the first half of verse 52 where it says this;

" And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land;"  (KJV)

I don't think God could be any more clear about what He is saying. Think about this. Ponder it in your mind. Chew on it. What do the high and fenced walls represent in this passage of Scripture? The high walls represent the World Trade Center. Both buildings fell. Both our economy and the economies of the world were attacked. What about the fenced walls? The fenced walls speak of the walled cities in ancient times. Their walls represented the first line of defense a city had against an attack. A city with strong walls was difficult to breach. The other building attacked was the Pentagon. The Pentagon is a representation of our nations defense. Its walls were breached. This was not a random incident, or an accident. It was the direct fulfillment of prophesy given by God, thirty five hundred years ago. It was a warning. It was a harbinger. Those who perpetrated this attack, had no idea they were fulfilling prophesy.

God is speaking to this nation. I can see it clearly. Oh, that this nation would repent and turn back to God that it might be saved. I fear that it may be too late and we may have gone too far. It is a Biblical principle that if God's people turn from Him and seek after corruption,  He would send corrupt leaders until we are destroyed. We will bear the consequences of going our own way and departing from God's instruction. Proverbs 1: 29 - 32 gives this warning;

"Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of ADONAI, they refused my council and despised my reproof. So they will bear the consequences of their own way and be overfilled with their own schemes. For the aimless wandering of the thoughtless will kill them, and the smug overconfidence of fools will destroy them." (CJB)

 In our turning from God, He is sending us leaders that do not know Him. What does it take for us to come to grips with this truth? When the attacks came upon America, we were unified for about a week. I remember all the flag waving and the expressions of "God Bless America." I had hope that this nation would once again return to God and His ways, but it was short lived. How soon the media removed the reminders of this horrific event from our television screens. How soon, the Muslim religion was called the religion of peace, even though the Muslim nations were at war with every nation at their borders?  How soon did political correctness invade our free speech and freedom to travel?

How did America respond to the attacks? Did we humble ourselves before God and repent? No. We returned right back to our lives and in our arrogance declared, "We will rebuild." This is exactly what was said in ancient Israel when the Assyrians breached their walls and destroyed their cities. Have you ever heard the expression; "History repeats itself?" There is another quote that says; "Those who fail to learn from history, are doomed to relive it." We need to learn from the words God gave to the prophet Isaiah where he says in Chapter 9:8-11;

"The LORD sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. And all the people shall know. even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in their pride and stoutness of heart, The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars. Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together."  (KJV)

When I look back upon our recent history, it is no wonder God is not blessing America. On November 14th, 2003 The state of Alabama removed State Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore. What was his despicable crime? He had the audacity to display the Ten Commandments in his court house. When you add to the mix the number of innocents slaughtered in the abortion mills everyday, is it any wonder, why God is no longer blessing America? This nation was once called the food basket of the world. With the hurricanes, floods, fires, droughts, tornadoes and excess rain we have had in recent years, we can no longer make that claim. There will be food shortages coming and our financial institutions will fail. Just as our stock market failed in 2008, another failure is coming. It is not a matter of  if, but rather a matter of when. I must admit that I would be surprised if America is still a strong nation at the end of the year 2015. That is not meant to be a prediction, and I certainly hope I am wrong. We need to Wake Up America! We need to repent and return to God. If we don't, it will be Game Over.

Shalom,

Barry W. Gaugler
