PART II
While Jonathan Cahn's  The Harbinger  has been a massive commercial success, it has faced significant theological and hermeneutical controversies, primarily from Christian scholars and theologians.  Major areas of controversy include: 1. Misinterpretation of Scripture (Eisegesis)  Critics argue that Cahn uses eisegesis—reading his own ideas into the text—rather than exegesis.  Isaiah 9:10 Misapplication: The central claim of the book is that  Isaiah 9:10  contains a "mystery" that applies to modern America. Biblical scholars argue this prophecy was specifically for the ancient Northern Kingdom of Israel and was fulfilled historically when they were destroyed by Assyria. Ignoring Context: The broader context of  Isaiah 9  describes devastating judgment, not a "warning" or "harbingers" meant to lead to repentance, which critics say Cahn ignores to fit his narrative.  2. The "America as the New Israel" Fallacy A core point of contention is the implication that the United States is in a covenant relationship with God similar to ancient Israel.  Theological Error: Most orthodox theologians maintain that God only has one covenant nation, Israel, and that America has no such biblical standing. Nationalism: Critics argue this approach promotes a form of Christian nationalism that detracts from the universal gospel message of salvation through Christ.  3. Allegorical and Mystical Interpretation Cahn’s method of finding "hidden mysteries" and "ancient blueprints" in the Bible has been heavily criticized.  Biblical Sufficiency: Critics claim this treats the Bible as a "mystical codebook" rather than a clear, authoritative revelation. Kabbalistic Influence: Some critics allege that Cahn’s "mystery-seeking" approach is influenced by Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah) rather than traditional biblical scholarship.   For example, Jewish mystical hermeneutics is the esoteric practice of interpreting sacred texts, primarily the Torah/O.T. to uncover hidden divine secrets, spiritual realities, and deeper meanings beyond the literal words, using methods like analyzing letter combinations, word breaks, numerology(Gematria) and symbolic structures to reveal God's hidden knowledge and influence over the spiritual realms. It's rooted in Kabbalah, viewing the Torah as a divine blueprint filled with infinite layers of meaning accessible through deep, symbolic reading and meditative techniques, not just legal or historical understanding.  4. Sensationalism and "Selling Fear" Many critics view the book's promotional style and claims as sensationalist.  Speculative Prophecy: Critics point out that several of Cahn's specific predictions (such as those regarding economic collapses related to the "Shemitah" cycle) have not manifested as described. Profit Motive: Some high-profile critics have described the book as "selling fear" for financial gain.  5. Historical and Factual Stretching Researchers have challenged the "empirical" facts Cahn uses to link 9/11 to ancient Israel.  Stretching Facts: For example, Cahn identifies a "cedar" replacing a "sycamore" at Ground Zero as a harbinger; however, critics note the tree was actually a Norway Spruce, which is not a cedar. Selective History: Critics argue Cahn ignores other devastating events in U.S. history (like the Civil War or Pearl Harbor) that do not fit his specific nine harbinger patterns. PART III JOSE J. BERNAL 6. And now for JOSE J. BERNAL;   A  BIBLICAL INSTRUCTOR UNDER THE PASTORAL LEADERSHIP OF JONATHAN CAHN WHO BELIEVES IT'S OKAY FOR CHRISTIAN BIBLE SCHOLARS(INCLUDING HIMSELF & JONATHAN CAHN) TO USE THE ZOHAR, A JEWISH MYSTICAL SATANIC BOOK TO SUPPLEMENT THEIR APOLOGETICS. Jose J. Bernal said: "Isn't it amazing how God uses Paul in Acts 17 to teach the pagans from their own writings on Mar's Hill and how in Apologetics even the Book of Zohar unwittingly supports the Gospel because it has been used by faithful witness Apologists as a "hostile witness" of the Gospel? Only God can do such things; turn something like the Book of Zohar into a tool that bears witness that Jesus is the Messiah! Thank you." "The only thing that I would use the Zohar for and the Baybylonian Talmud would be for the same use that eminent Messianic Jews such as Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, Dr. Michael Rygelnik, Dr. Michael Brown, Dr. Mitch Glazer, and many more, such as Pastor and Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn would use such works for; to affirm from them the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is called in Apologetics "the fair use of a hostile witness" to affirm a specific matter". This statement made by Jose J. Bernal with his own words in writing is nothing more than a UNHOLY ALLIANCE with Secret Knowledge i.e. Seeking hidden, esoteric wisdom/knowledge for the purpose of decoding Ancient Mysteries from the ZOHAR OR THE BABYLONIAN TALMUD. It is not based on SOUND  BIBLICAL HERMENUETICS and has absolutely nothing to do with the WRITTEN WORD OF GOD. They are extra-biblical sources written by New Age Rabbinical Sages. These sages are the posterity of the Pharisees and Sadducees spoken of in the 4 Gospels.  Anyone who is seeking this kind of esoteric knowledge in essence is shaking hands with the devil. This theological perspective which Jose J. Bernal and his associates which he named above with regards to the Zohar has a close resemblance to what Christian  Kabbalist believe in with their mystical hermeneutics with regards to Jesus Christ. More about this later as you continue reading below.  Also at the bottom of this page in part 4 I have inserted 2 links exposing the Babylonian Talmud and 5 videos diving deeper into the Zohar for your convenience and further study. MY REBUTTAL TO JOSE J. BERNAL'S FALLACIES I MAKE THE FOLLOWING QUOTATION FROM TED W. PIKE'S BOOK "ISRAEL OUR DUTY OUR DELIMMA" FROM PAGE 103: " The Kabbalah at this time was a Babylonian brew which included such occult features as REINCARNATION, NECROMANCY, CONJURATION, ASTRAL PROJECTION, COOPERATION WITH DEMONS, ASTROLOGY, NUMEROLOGY, AND A VAST SYSTEM FOR THE USE OF CHARMS, AMULETS & INCANTATIONS". In short, most of what was distinctive of BABYLONIAN & EGYPTIAN SORCERY WAS INCLUDED IN THE ZOHAR! Even today virtually all occult systems (especially THEOSOPHICAL ONES) and practices, including WITCHCRAFT & SATANISM, borrow heavily from the KABBALAH(AS PRESERVED IN THE ZOHAR) in their rituals and symbolism". Zohar: means RADIANCE OR SPLENDOR. It is the PREMIER TEXT OF OCCULTIC KNOWLEDGE within the KABBALAH & a basis for laws instituted by NEW AGE RABBINICAL SAGES. AUTHORSHIP attributed in legend to NEW AGE RABBI SHIMON BEN YOHAI 2nd century A.D.. The Zohar is the SYNTHESIS OF THE OCCULT GNOSIS of PHARAONIC EGYPT & ANCIENT BABYLON. The Lord God NEVER INSPIRED these new age rabbinical sages to write this OCCULTIC BOOK UNWITTINGLY OR OTHERWISE as Mr. JOSE J. BERNAL EMPHATICALLY IS CLAIMING. This  clearly reveals that Mr. Cahn author of the book The HARBINGER  and Jose J. Bernal are using OCCULTIC WRITINGS  to SUPPLEMENT THEIR SERMONS, TEACHINGS AND APOLOGETICS. Rabbi Simeon Ben Yochai author of the Zohar: The Roman Emperor of the 2nd century of the C.E. placed a death sentence upon the head of Rabbi Yochai for fear of his power & great influence. In order to escape the Roman Soldiers, the great kabbalist together with his son Rabbi Elazar took refuge in a cave in Pequi"in, Israel. There for 13 years they buried themselves in the ground up to their necks in order to subjugate the distractions of their bodies. It was during this time that they SUPPOSEDLY recieved instructions in the deepest mysteries of the Torah from ELIJAH THE PROPHET. These teachings would later become the foundation of THE ZOHAR. .IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FURTHER BACKGROUND INTO THE CORRUPT DOCTRINES AND MORAL DECAY OF RABBI SIMEON BEN YOHAI, I MAKE THE FOLLOWING QUOTATION WITH REGARDS TO HIS APPROVAL & LEGALIZATION OF CHILD SEX WITH 3 YEAR OLD GIRLS AS FOLLOWS YEBAMOTH 60b: IT WAS TAUGHT: RABBI SIMEON BEN YOHAI STATED: A PROSOLYTE WHO IS UNDER THE AGE OF 3 YEARS AND ONE DAY IS PERMITTED TO MARRY A PRIEST. FOR IT IS SAID, BUT ALL THE WOMEN CHILDREN THAT HAVE NOT KNOWN MAN BY LYING WITH HIM, KEEP ALIVE FOR YOURSELVES, AND PHINEAS WHO WAS A PRIEST, SURELY WAS WITH THEM. As Christians are being misled by their Judaizing preachers & popes who are increasingly consulting Jewish rabbinical sources for a "PURER" understanding of the Old Testament, they are unknowningly consulting the OCCULT. Judaism is the religion of the Pharisees and the patrimony of Babylon from where the Talmudic & Kabbalistic traditions of Judaism ultimately derive. Orthodox Judaism's other sacred book, the Kabbalah( THE ZOHAR BEING IT'S PREMIER TEXT OF OCCULT KNOWLEDGE) is filled with astrological teachings, fortune telling, gematria, necromancy & DEMONOLOGY. Orthodox Rabbis place curses, cast spells & imagine they have powers greater than God, derived from their study of the Sefer Yezriah(a book of Kabbalistic Magic). Christians are TRAFFICKING in Babylonian Paganism when they DEFER to the the Rabbis of Judaism "Michael Hoffman". 7.  The Zohar does not explicitly identify Jesus (Yeshua) as the "Son of God" in the Christian sense of the term, as traditional Judaism does not consider Jesus to be the Messiah or divine. However, the Zohar does contain passages that refer to a metaphysical "Son" and "Messiah" using language that some Christian and Messianic Jewish scholars see as paralleling New Testament descriptions of Jesus.  The Zohar and the Concept of "Son" The Zohar, a foundational work of Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah), explores the nature of the divine and the Messiah using rich, symbolic language.  A "Son" Figure: Passages in the Zohar describe a "Son" figure who is an emanation within the Godhead, representing God's visible image and majesty. This figure is depicted as a mediator between God and mankind, a balance between judgment and mercy, and is associated with creation and wisdom. Messianic References: The Zohar speaks of a suffering Messiah (Messiah son of Joseph) who atones for sins, and a reigning Messiah (Messiah son of David). It applies biblical verses like Psalm 2:7 ("Thou art My son; this day have I begotten Thee") to the Messiah, a concept found in other ancient rabbinic literature as well.  Interpretations Christian/Messianic Jewish Perspective: Adherents of this view argue that the Zohar's description of a divine "Son" who embodies the fullness of the Godhead, acts as a mediator, and fulfills messianic roles provides a Jewish conceptual framework that aligns with the New Testament's presentation of Jesus. They point out numerous "New Testament references" or affinities in the Zohar, seeing them as evidence that the early Jewish concept of God allowed for a plurality within the divine unity, which was then "confirmed true" in the person of Jesus. Traditional Jewish Perspective: Mainstream Jewish theology rejects the Christian doctrine of the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus, viewing such interpretations as Christian interpolations or misinterpretations of Jewish mystical concepts. Some academic analyses of the Zohar suggest that its discussions on figures like the "blasphemer" (Leviticus 24:10–23) are actually anti-Gospel polemics that use the story to challenge Christian claims about Jesus and Mary.  In summary, the Zohar itself does not "bear witness" in the sense of an explicit endorsement of Christian belief in Jesus as the Son of God, but its complex mystical language has led to ongoing diverse interpretations and debate across different faith traditions.  8.  However, the religious cult known as Christian Kabbalists believe Jesus is referenced and foreshadowed in the Zohar and other Jewish mystical texts, interpreting Zoharic concepts like the Messiah Son of Joseph, Adam Kadmon, and divine names as allusions to Christian theology, though traditional Jewish sources within the Zohar actually contain anti-Christian polemics, making these interpretations a specific Christian reading of Jewish texts. They (THE CHRISTIAN KABBALIST) use parallels in order to find proofs for the Trinity, Holy Spirit, and Jesus's divinity, seeing him as a mystical figure fulfilling prophecies found in these mystical works.  How Christian Kabbalists Interpret the Zohar Finding Christian Concepts: Christian Kabbalists, like Renaissance thinkers and later figures, saw parallels between Zoharic themes (like the Sefirot, divine emanations) and Christian doctrines, believing the Zohar pointed to Jesus as the Messiah. Messiah Son of Joseph: They connect the Zohar's discussion of the suffering Messiah (Messiah Son of Joseph) to Jesus, viewing him as the one who atones for sins, say First Fruits of Zion. Mystical Names: Figures like Johann Reuchlin tried to derive the name of Jesus (Yahshuah) from the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) within Kabbalistic frameworks, as noted in the Wikipedia article on Christian Kabbalah.  The Zohar's Original Jewish Context,. Internal Polemics: The Zohar, a foundational text of Jewish mysticism, actually contains internal anti-Christian polemics, including negative depictions of Jesus and Mary, notes Cambridge University Press. Separate Traditions: Kabbalah developed within Judaism, and traditional Jewish Kabbalah doesn't mention Jesus as the Messiah, as per Quora users.  In essence, Christian Kabbalists interpret the Zohar to find Jesus, while the text itself, written by Jewish mystics, often holds a different, even hostile, view of Jesus, say Quora users and Cambridge University Press.  9. Despite these critiques, supporters like Jose J. Bernal a member of Jonathan Cahn's church and a self proclaimed apologist and historian (who to this day has not provided any credentials from any University or Theological seminary to substantiate his claims View his complete profile by clicking here ) mistakenly argues and believe that Cahn’s work is a vital "prophetic warning" intended to call a drifting nation back to God through repentance.  10. In conclusion, Cahn's claims of unlocking profound new mysteries or specific templates can inadvertently imply that the existing Scriptures is insufficient or unclear without his so called unique prophetic insights. His emphasis often appears to be on finding precise, hidden patterns and timing, which overshadows the primary purpose of biblical prophecy which is a call to repentance and to reveal God's character. Be cautious of interpretations that rely on intricate hidden codes, numerology, or complex, speculative connections not explicitly taught in Scripture. PART IV

Debunking Jonathan Cahn Simplified: A Comprehensive Critique.

In today's fast-paced world, many are searching for spiritual understanding, especially concerning prophecy and God's plans for the future. Jonathan Cahn has become a prominent voice, captivating a wide Christian audience with his interpretations of prophecy, particularly those connecting ancient biblical events to modern American happenings. His books, like The Harbinger and The Mystery of the Shemitah, present detailed, often intricate, allegorical links between ancient Israel and the United States today. While many find his insights deeply intriguing and believe they reveal hidden truths, others—especially biblical scholars and traditional Christian theologians—have raised significant questions about the accuracy and reliability of his interpretations.

In this 2nd Edition, our main goal is to make a careful critique of Jonathan Cahn’s popular teachings even easier to understand and apply. Leveraging cutting-edge AI tools, we've distilled complex theological ideas, historical analyses, and logical arguments into clear, accessible language, designed for every reader – no prior expertise needed.

This book simplifies the discussion by respectfully and thoroughly examining Cahn's worldview. We break down his arguments step-by-step, starting with his origins and core beliefs. You'll find clear explanations of his background, what he fundamentally teaches, and the specific influences that shape his prophetic vision.

We then move to the crucial part: clearly identifying and explaining the areas where his interpretations might fall short. Cahn's work is rich with symbolic interpretations, drawing strong parallels between ancient prophecy and contemporary events. However, critics argue he often steps into speculative territory, stretching sound biblical interpretation and leaning towards sensationalism. These aren't minor issues; they touch upon vital aspects of Christian faith: how we genuinely understand Scripture, how we discern truth from mere speculation, and how we avoid being misled by teachings that lack solid grounding.

Instead of dense academic language, we'll offer straightforward explanations of factual errors, logical fallacies (common reasoning mistakes), and cognitive biases (mental shortcuts) that appear in his work. Our aim is to untangle these complexities, making it simple to see how his ideas measure up against sound biblical truth and real-world facts.

Crucially, this critique isn't just about pointing out problems. It's about providing simplified, practical Christian solutions. We'll compare Cahn's interpretations with traditional Christian doctrines, offering clear biblical responses to his claims. Our hope is to equip you with easy-to-grasp tools for discernment – helping you to distinguish truth from error with confidence, and guiding you back to the unshakable authority of God's Word.

This book does not seek to attack Jonathan Cahn personally. Instead, it aims to address the problematic aspects of his teachings with clarity and compassion. This 2nd Edition, with its enhanced clarity and simplified approach, is designed to strengthen your faith, help you navigate complex prophetic claims, and guide you back to a more solid biblical foundation. In a time when prophetic voices abound, understanding them clearly and discerning their message Biblically is vital. This book makes that process more accessible than ever before.

We live in a time when false teachings are infiltrating Christian Theology at a rapid rate. This important book exposes one of the greatest threats to pure Biblical Christianity. Deanne Loper uncovers the deception by giving a detailed description of what Kabbalah is and equips believers to recognize it in its morphed form of Christianity. The evidence shows that the god of today’s Babylonian and kabbalistic Judaism is NOT the God of the Bible and that the current convergence of Christians coming under rabbinic authority will bring them, not to the one true God of the Bible, but to the subservience of the god of Kabbalah – Ein Sof – and to its hierarchy of gods.
