October 9, 2014 was the First Day of
the Lord's Feast of Tabernacles. It's a 7 day long Feast. (Leviticus
23) We are also in what's known as the "Sabbath (or Sabbatical)
Year". Also called the Sh'mitah Year. It is the 7th and final
year in a cycle of seven. (Leviticus 25) It continues from September
of this year (2014) until September of next year (2015).
Jonathan Cahn, author of The Harbinger,
has detailed a striking series of economic rises and falls in
sabbatical years. For those nations who, at their foundation, were
patterned according to the Lord's word, ways, and principles (ancient
Israel, and America) God would bless the nation in this particular
year, a year of rest and releasing of debts. The land was commanded
to lay dormant, no harvesting or reaping, and dependence on God's
divine faithfulness to supply our needs was emphasized (and He always
came through when Israel was obedient). Debts were also released, and
it was a general year of entering into rest and joy (as patterned by
the 7th day of the week, known as the Sabbath, when no man was to
work, but instead was to abide in God's presence and word)
