Is the 10th of Av a ‘mystery’ of the USA? Well, Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn seems to think so.  Here is some of an interview related to that he had with Glenn Beck:

GLENN: Tell me about — hang on just a second. The — the 10th of Av.

JONATHAN: Oh, yes. Okay. This is — the existence of America is actually linked to a mystery of an ancient Hebrew holy day. And I’ve never shared this in media. Here’s the thing: There’s a day on the Hebrew calendar when disaster comes for the Jewish people. It’s the 9th of Av. When the temple was destroyed — Solomon — on the 9th of Av. Hundreds of years later, Jesus predicted it, temple of Herod destroyed by the Romans, same exact day, 9th of Av. The Jews are driven out of England, 9th of Av. Out of Spain, 9th of Av. Out of France — everything. Holocaust is even linked to the 9th of Av. So this is a day of destruction, disaster, mourning.

GLENN: It’s a big day in Israel.

JONATHAN: Big day. Big day. And it keeps happening. And so — but here’s the other thing about it, but the 10th of Av, God always brings a redemption. When they’re out of one land, he’s preparing another land. He keeps them alive. He keeps the Jewish people. So the 10th of Av is about redemption. It begins the redemption. Well, here’s the thing, Glenn: This is a few hundred years ago. The Jewish people have to flee Spain. They’re fleeing for their lives. They’re told, “If you don’t get out, we’re going to kill you. If you don’t convert, we’re going to kill you.” They’re fleeing on their ships. Fleeing. And it’s 9th of Av. Again, 9th of Av. Destruction. They’re losing their greatest refuge.

GLENN: May I guess the year? JONATHAN: You may guess? GLENN: 1492.

JONATHAN: 1492. The ocean blue. Yes. And so here — so in the same — not just that. It’s the same week. It’s the same — in the same harbors of Spain, while they’re losing their refuge, are the three ships the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. So as they’re — the greatest tragedy, God is preparing a new refuge. It’s going to be — it’s the beginning of America. And they’re going to set sail on the 10th of Av, which is the day of redemption. So, in other words, America — the very beginning of America is linked to this ancient mystery that God’s going to — it’s going to become the greatest refuge for the Jewish people in history, and not just the Jewish people, but it’s going to be refuge for everybody. So the very existence of America is linked to this ancient Hebrew holy day.

PAT: He’s the Jewish David Barton.

JEFFY: He definitely is.

GLENN: I will tell you, I learned that from a rabbi I think in Israel. One of the big, big rabbis I think in Israel. And he talked about the link. Because we were doing Restoring Courage in Israel, during the week of Av. The — the 9th of Av. And so we were there. And he said, you don’t understand — and he explained the 9th. And then he explained the 10th and said — PAT: That’s great. GLENN: — here’s the link to America. PAT: Is that in The Book of Mysteries?

JONATHAN: Yes. Yes. That’s one of 365 mysteries, the 9th of Av mystery, yeah. http://www.glennbeck.com/2016/09/29/rabbi-jonathan-cahns-new-book-is-a-source-of-strength-for-tough-times-ahead/?utm_source=glennbeck&utm_medium=contentcopy_link

While the voyage by Christopher Columbus changed history, I do not consider that makes the 10th of Av (which normally occurs in July or August) some profound mystery.

But Jonathan Cahn has been prone to exaggeration and prophetic error.

He improperly helped promote the Blood Moon nonsense that happened a few years ago–whereas I denounced it.

He wrote a book titled The Mystery of the Shemitah Unlocked which claimed that the end would basically come in 2015–which I also denounced. He was proven wrong, I was proven right, yet he keeps putting forth opinions that are often in error.

Notice something else that mentioned his Shemitah theory:

2017 to 2024 Tribulation Theory

This is a theory regarding the Tribulation beginning in Fall 2017 and ending in Fall 2024. …

The Shemitah year may actually be 2016/2017. Though Jonathan Cahn found an amazing pattern, he was looking at when economic crashes began, not when they reached their worst point. In the previous two cycles, the crashes reached their worst points in 2009 and 2002, respectively, not 2008 and 2001. According to what many think is a more accurate Shemitah and Jubilee cycle, the next Shemitah year is actually 2016/2017 and the next Jubilee year is 2017/2018.

There is NO possible way that the Great Tribulation can begin in 2017 (watch Will the Great Tribulation Start in 2017?), but some are apparently pointing to Jonathan Cahn as some type of valid prophetic authority: despite his repeatedly been proven wrong.

Consider also what Jesus taught:

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. (Matthew 24:4-6)

Many think it is the end when it is not. Jonathan Cahn has deceived people and is still doing so.

Some pushed Jonathan Cahn’s false idea that the so-called Shemitah year ran from September 25, 2014 through September 13, 2015 and that there would be global economic collapse to occur on September 13, 2015 (see Does end of Mark Biltz’s Shemitah mean that the Tribulation starts tomorrow?). That was wrong (see Jonathan Cahn defends ‘The Mystery of the Shemitah,’ whereas COGwriter denounces it).

Anyway, the 10th of Av is not a biblical mystery about America and Jonathan Cahn is not God’s prophet (How To Determine If Someone is a True Prophet of God) as some have improperly claimed.

There are, however, prophetic mysteries about the USA and Canada that most people who watch prophecy do not realize.
