Last day to join unique Israel tour looming
July 7 is deadline for making plans to join authors Cahn, Farah on tour
|

| Double rainbow over Sea of Galilee |
All tours to Israel highlight biblically significant events and
locations. But this one offers more than just a chance to stand on the
Mountain of Elijah, see the Valley of Armageddon, sail the Sea of
Galilee, be baptized in the Jordan river, and renew your vows under the
olive trees of Cana.
This trip offers all of these stops and others in the company of Jonathan Cahn, author of the No. 1 bestseller "The Harbinger" and Joseph Farah of WND and producer of "The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment."
You'll also have the opportunity to walk the streets of Nazareth,
experience a candlelit worship in the same synagogue where the Messiah
worshipped, swim in the springs of Gideon, enjoy a Bedouin tent dinner
in the wilderness, ascend the mountain fortress of Masada, enter
Caiaphas' house, plant a tree, visit the Garden Tomb, worship in the
Upper Room and spend time in the Garden of Gethsemane.
However, the deadline to complete a reservation form and to ensure your space on this tour is July 7 (form available here).
The travel will be Nov. 7 through Nov. 17, 2013. And already hundreds have registered for the spaces available.
"I'm convinced we could bring 1,000 to Israel, but this trip isn't about quantity, it's about quality," said Farah. "We want this tour to be a once-in-a lifetime experience for all those who come with us."
Here is the itinerary for the trip.
Also on the trip will be WND senior staff writer Jerome Corsi, twice a
No. 1 New York Times bestselling author, and WND managing editor David
Kupelian, author of "The Marketing of Evil" and "How Evil Works."
In Israel, participants will also hook up for a briefing with WND
Jerusalem bureau chief Aaron Klein, who hosts the most popular weekend
radio show in the U.S. from his perch in Israel’s capital.
Participants will see the Pools of Bethesda, the Via Dolorosa, the Pool of Siloam, the Lion's Gate.
Organizers say one should expect a life-changing spiritual experience, not just a tour.
It's being set up in conjunction with Coral Travel, which is a veteran
of many trips to the Holy Land, and offers the opportunity to worship in
a way few ever experience in Israel.
But that July 7
registration deadline soon is approaching, so don't wait too long to
decide to join hundreds others visiting the city where Peter raised
Tabitha, the mount where Elijah defeated the prophets of Baal, the
Damascus Road where Paul encountered the Lord, the city of Cana where
the Messiah performed his first miracle at a wedding, ascend to the
mountain fortress of Masada, see the caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls
were protected for generations, and much, much more.
"It seems like Elizabeth and I just returned from Israel with memories
so fresh from our trip with Sen. Rand Paul," said Farah. "Elizabeth took
some 5,000 photos on that tour – some of which are shared here. We were
there scouting out the sites and the people for this trip in November,
as well as getting to spend time with some wonderful people, including
Sen. Paul and his family. It had been a long time since I had been to
Israel – and much has changed since I was a correspondent there in the
1980s and early 1990s. But it's still Israel – the apple of God's eye –
and every believer should visit the Holy Land in their lifetime."

Experience both "The Harbinger" and "The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment," together at one low price from the WND Superstore!
Cahn said the message is that Israel was a nation that knew God, then turned away. The verse in Isaiah 9:10
talks about its attitude when God allowed a limited judgment to fall,
and that was that they would not return to God, they did not want Him
and they would rebuild their nation themselves.
"We are now the nation that has known God, and is turning from God, and God is warning," Cahn said.
He said disgraced Sen. Tom Daschle, who was the Senate Majority leader
at 9/11, read those words in promising that America would rebuild –
apparently without God. And Cahn said Sen. John Edwards read the same
passage a few years later, and President Obama paraphrased the words.
Cahn's teaching series includes:
• "The Masada Mystery": For 2,000 years, God kept a scroll hidden on
top of Masada in the Israeli wilderness waiting for the Jewish people to
come back to the land and uncover it. Discover this awesome prophecy of
God and what it has to do with you.
• "The Sanhedrin Secret": Did Jesus (Yeshua) really rise from the
dead? Or was his body stolen from the sealed tomb guarded by Roman
soldiers as the Jewish Sanhedrin charged? The gospel record is clear on
the risen Christ. But what about the charges of the Sanhedrin? Did they
even believe their own cover story for the empty tomb? Messianic Rabbi
Jonathan Cahn looks at the evidence and finds historical confirmation
for the Resurrection of Yeshua in an unlikely source – the rabbinical
writings of the Sanhedrin itself.
• "The Hanukkah Endtime Mystery": Hanukkah contains one of the most
amazingly detailed revelations of the end times – Jonathan Cahn opens up
the endtime mysteries of Hanukkah, with stunning detail on what is yet
to come, and what is already happening right now before our eyes! Most
people are somewhat familiar with the Hanukkah story as related in the
Book of Maccabees, an extrabiblical history of Israeli rebellion against
a Greek tyrant who desecrated the Temple. They know the story of the
lighting of the menorah and the miracle of the oil that burned beyond
any reasonable expectation. But even Bible scholars and Christians
knowledgeable about the Hebrew Roots of their faith don't know about the
ancient endtime mystery revealed in the story of Hanukkah.
Check out all three.
It was a year ago that "The Harbinger,"
by Cahn, a messianic rabbi from New Jersey, exploded onto the
publishing scene, immediately becoming a surprise New York Times
bestseller, already read by hundreds of thousands nationwide.
"A number of years ago, as I was standing at the edge of Ground Zero in
New York City, I came across the first puzzle piece of an ancient
biblical mystery and a prophetic message known as 'The Harbinger' that concerns the future of America," explains Cahn, who helped write the two-hour documentary "The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment" and narrates it.
Cahn says he has found nine harbingers that tie the problems America has
experienced beginning Sept. 11, 2001, together, with parallels to
events that led to the destruction of ancient Israel.
"Before God judges a nation, He sends warning," explains Cahn. "He sent
warnings to ancient Israel. He even allowed its enemies to breach its
borders in a devastating strike that would traumatize the nation. It was
a wake-up call, the call to return to God. But the nation responded
with defiance. God then gave nine harbingers of judgment, nine prophetic
signs, alarms and foreshadows of what was to come. Now America is the
nation in rapid departure from God's will. And God likewise allowed an
enemy to breach its borders in a devastating strike – the terrorist
attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. It was, likewise, a wake-up call. But
America, like Israel, has not responded with repentance, but with
defiance. And now the nine harbingers of judgment have reappeared and
have done so on American soil."
The WND Superstore offers an exclusive bundle that includes "The Harbinger" and "The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment" at one low price.
Isaiah 9:10
is a verse in which Israel's national leaders utter a vow of defiance
following an attack by Assyria. It declared that the nation would not
repent before God, but would defy Him instead. Cahn reveals in "The Harbinger" – and in even more dramatic fashion in the movie – that beginning the day after Sept. 11, 2001, American leaders began repeating that 2,500-year-old vow, word for word.
Cahn, the pastor of the Jerusalem Center-Beth Israel Congregation in
Wayne, N.J., says America simply is uncannily re-enacting ancient
Israel's behavior prior to its judgment and eventual fall.
Cahn has found some eerie parallels to the recorded fate of Israel.
"In the aftermath of the attack, the nation was stunned," said Cahn.
"Everyone was trying to make sense of what had happened – this
unprecedented attack on America. The very next day, Sept. 12, then Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle presented America's response to the world. And what did he say?"
Daschle said: "America will emerge from this tragedy as we have emerged
from all adversity – united and strong. Nothing … nothing can replace
the losses of those who have suffered. I know there is only the smallest
measure of inspiration that can be taken from this devastation. But
there is a passage in the Bible from Isaiah that speaks to all of us at
times like this."
He then went on to read Isaiah 9:10.
"Daschle has no idea what he is doing here," explains Cahn. "He thinks
he's offering comforting words to a grief-stricken people, but he is
actually embracing the spiritually defiant and arrogant words of the
children of Israel, proclaiming the ancient and ominous vow of the
leaders of that nation. He doesn't realize it, but he is actually
inviting more judgment on the nation."
It might be of some significance that Daschle, one of the most powerful
men in the nation when he spoke those words, later fell into disgrace –
to the point where he couldn't even serve in Barack Obama's Cabinet.
That might have been the end of the story – if no other top leader in
the nation uttered those strange and obscure words after 9/11. But
that's not the case.
On the third anniversary of the attack, Sept. 11, 2004, another powerful
U.S. senator running for vice president that year and who would
famously run for the presidency four years later, gave a speech to the
Congressional Black Caucus.
This time, John Edwards' entire speech was built on a foundation of Isaiah 9:10:
"Today, on this day of remembrance and mourning, we have the Lord's Word to get us through," he said. He then read Isaiah 9:10. He went on to talk about how America was doing just that – rebuilding with hewn stone and planting cedars.
"Like Daschle, Edwards thinks he's invoking inspirational and comforting
words from the Bible, but he's actually inviting judgment on America,"
says Cahn. "He's repeating the vow that provoked God to bring calamity
on ancient Israel."
Even more astonishing, Daschle and Edwards were not alone among U.S. leaders in making similar statements, as "The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment" shows.
The book and video document a long list of other eerie parallels.
