It has come to my attention that the book, “The Harbinger,” by Jonathan Cahn has a lot of false teaching in it. Today we have access to so much information in the form of books, television, news, internet, and many other sources. We need to be careful what we read and listen too. We need discernment to know if the message is Biblical, or if it goes against the Bible. These are the only two possibilities, and we have to be extra careful today. If you will click on the link below, it will take you to an article by Christine Pack called, “A Commentary on the Harbinger: A Warning About the Harbinger. This article explains what is wrong with this teaching.

Perhaps you have read this book and got all excited thinking the author is really on to something. What we find is that he has added extra-Biblical teaching to it.
Another good review is by Tim Challies. He is a wonderful Christian and reviews many books to help us with our discernment.
You can read his article below called, “The Ancient Mystery that Holds the Secret of America’s Future.

Jonathan Cahn utilizes elements from Jewish tradition, including Midrashic themes, Talmudic concepts, and deeper rabbinic mystical interpretations like the Zohar ( i.e. his teaching series “THE ZOHAR SPEAKS”) to develop his so called “ancient mysteries” and prophetic insights found in his books. For example:
Mystical Patterns: His work, particularly The Harbinger and The Book of Mysteries, is noted for its inclusion of Jewish mysticism (MYSTICAL HERMENUETICS) and rabbinic insights that he describes as “streams of mysteries” passed down through the centuries by New Age Rabbinical Sages.
Hidden Meanings: He utilizes the rabbinic approach that every letter or word in Scripture can contain a hidden sense for example gematria, a practice common in both Midrash and mystical traditions like the Zohar. Critics often point out that this reliance on extra-biblical “mysteries” and rabbinic interpretations can sometimes lead to speculative prophecy or eisegesis (reading his own ideas into the text).
In this article I expose the hidden dangers behind Mr. Cahn’s biblical interpretations and why you need to be deeply concerned about his so called Ancient Mysteries. Because this is being imported into the Body of Christ by the Messianic Jewish Movement. Not all Messianic Jewish ministries are doing this but only some. And many well known ministers of the Gospel are embracing this and misleading their flocks by calling Cahn America’s Prophet. They are televising this through TBN, DAYSTAR, IT’S SUPER NATURAL and the likes of them. With that being said, I now invite you to take with me a deep dive into Cahn’s Mystical Hermeneutics.
