President Donald Trump made shocking international headlines in December when he announced that the United States would officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and ordered the U.S. Embassy be relocated there. And on his recent trip to the Holy Land in late January, Vice President Mike Pence announced that the embassy move was already under way and would open in 2019.
What is the significance of a recognition of a capital or the location of an embassy? These decisive actions show America's solidarity with Israel, says New York Timesbest-selling author Jonathan Cahn.
Cahn's newest best-seller, The Paradigm: The Ancient Blueprint That Holds the Mystery of Our Times (TheParadigmMystery.com), has much to say about the nation of Israel and the ancient ties to modern history.
"Few would deny that a dangerous metamorphosis is taking place in our world," Cahn says. "But not many realize that this metamorphosis is following the course of an ancient transformation—that of ancient Israel. Why Israel? Israel is the paradigm nation, the nation that stands as the pattern or model—for good or bad, better or worse—to the rest of the world. Israel is the exemplar nation. So what exactly happened? The Paradigm reveals a nation and an entire civilization, undergoing the dangerous metamorphosis we are all witnessing. This concerns America, in particular, and Western civilization and world civilization, in general.
"But it's not just an overall picture of decline," Cahn adds. "The amazing thing is that this ancient paradigm, or master blueprint, reveals the actual events of our times, the leaders of our times, even the exact dates when events are to take place in our times. The idea that an ancient Middle Eastern mystery could reveal the rise of today's world leaders sounds unbelievable—but it's true."
This ancient paradigm or master blueprint lies behind the events of the modern world—what's taking place right now before our eyes. It originated in ancient times, yet it reveals what is happening right now.
"This paradigm foretells the rise and fall of modern leaders and governments," Cahn continues. "It not only reveals the events of the modern world, but the timing of those events—revealing not only the year when a particular event is to take pace but, in some cases, the exact date—including the exact date when one of the most critical events of modern times took place. In fact, if one had known the mystery of The Paradigm years back, one could have marked on one's calendar the exact date of this event, years before it took place. The paradigm has affected all of our lives. We've all been part of its replaying. It's amazing, eerie and stunning. It even contains a warning concerning what lies ahead in the days to come."
The Paradigm, which has both stunned and engaged readers, debuted as a New York Times best-seller at No. 5 in late 2017. It is one of the most explosive and astounding books of 2017 and removes the veil behind the leaders, governments, events and scandals of modern times.
The Paradigm is also included on the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association's Annual Bestselling Christian Books List of 2017, at No. 10 for non-fiction and No. 14 overall. Cahn's previous hit, The Book of Mysteries, came in at No. 3 in fiction and No. 18 overall.
Cahn, who caused a stir throughout America and the globe with the release of his instant New York Times best-seller The Harbinger, which sold over 2 million copies, followed that earth-shattering work with The Mystery of the Shemitah and The Book of Mysteries, also New York Times best-sellers. In fact, the mysteries of the immensely popular The Harbinger continue and are intertwined with the mysteries of The Paradigm.
The Paradigm is published by Frontline, an imprint of Charisma House.
