Have you ever wished for a reset button – in your personal or business life or in the life of our nation – where past mistakes could be wiped away in favor of a blank slate?
Delve into the depths of Deuteronomy and you'll find a reset that is tied to a seven-year cycle called the Shemitah. God laid out for his people certain days and seasons He said were important for them to observe, starting with a Sabbath rest every seventh day and continuing with various biblical feast days.
Christians are familiar with the weekly Sabbath day but what about the Sabbath year?

Every seventh year the Israelites were instructed to let the land "rest" by letting it lie fallow. This was "Shemitah" or the year of "release." They even canceled debts in accordance with this once-every-seven year release. It came with promises of blessings if the nation remained faithful to Him but manifested as judgment when the nation went astray.

To get Cahn's message out as widely as possible, WND is making available a free e-book, "Shemitah: A Primer to the Biblical Sabbath Year and What it Means to You."
Don't get caught by surprise. Learn the biblical basis for the Shemitah and why it is important for America today. You will learn what to look for as the current Shemitah year progresses up through its climax on Elul 29, the final day on the annual Jewish calendar which falls on Sept. 13, 2015. The past two Elul 29's in Shemitah years have produced record single-day point losses for U.S. stocks – on Sept 17, 2001, the market lost 685 points and on Sept. 29, 2008, it shed 777 points!
The Shemitah cycle affects more than the economy and exploding debt bubbles. A simple look at history reveals that the rise and fall of nations, stunning military defeats, even the fall of empires can be traced to God's biblical timetable.
