'Harbinger Man': A passionate message

Most readers enjoy getting to know more about their favorite writers. WND Films' "The Harbinger Man" delivers a lot of material about Rabbi Jonathan Cahn. Some of the stories have been presented before, here and there in separate bits, but WND Films has done an excellent job of assembling the information into a coherent narrative.

There is an assumption that winds through some Christian circles which would limit God's use of people who do not have a long and strong Christian background. I can understand this – why should the flock listen to a new convert when much of the flock has been following God longer than the newcomer has been alive? In Cahn's case, what could a former atheist have to tell established Christians?

The answer as told in "The Harbinger Man" is "quite a lot." Twenty years, the age at which Cahn in one of the recreated scenes gives whatever might remain of his life to Christ, is not very old. It is, however, old enough to make a young person in college think they have the answers – creation, human consciousness, death and eternity among them – the needed answers to silence God, or at least make Him go away. Certainly, it helps to be in your 20s to believe that.

God, however, in modern parlance, "is who He is, and He does what He does." Cahn's Harbinger work and his life after meeting God as a young atheist is certainly evidence of that characterization.

I sometimes think that those who come to God after a long rebellion and then a struggle are actually more effective for His work than those who were raised in the faith. No matter what our source of pride in human existence is – physical strength, mental might, social skills or appearance – God is able to press the "reset" button whenever He chooses. After such a reset and an understanding of who pushed the button we may well be more inclined to listen closely to what God has for us to do.

Such was the case with Cahn. His Jewish lineage followed by acceptance of the Messiah perhaps uniquely qualified him to unravel the Harbinger mystery. The scenes in the film showing how such insights came to him were well-done and enjoyable to watch. Each of us "puts together" pieces of both this and the next life's puzzles according to our unique experience and individualized learning. Cahn was the unfired clay pot to whom God chose to reveal the Harbinger mystery of 9/11. During that process, the pot was glazed and fired to prepare it for what would come afterward.

How easy it would have been for Jonathan Cahn to turn away from the revelations in the Harbinger. The bulk of our churches these days, it seems, are all too eager to please men and women on the inside and outside of the church – but put forth far less energy in pleasing God. "Well … we wouldn't want to offend anybody!"

Don't worry, you won't. God gave that job to a former atheist Jew who accepted the Messiah. You can't get a whole lot more offensive than that to the world's religious overseerers and those who worship at the altar of political correctness.

I wonder if it is not mind-boggling to God to not only have to deliver the warning, but then explain what it means as well. You can't listen to Cahn's address to the National Day of Prayer audience and believe he is not passionate about the Harbringer message – and the work God gave him to do.
