The Harbinger

Postby Original_Intent » Mon Apr 02, 2012 7:36 am

Others have posted about it, but I did not see it in the "recommendations" topic.

The premise of the book is that Isaiah 9:10, which talks about ancient Israel's response to a shaking or warning by the Lord, is mirrored and prophetic regarding the response of the United States to our own "shaking" - the attacks of 9/11.

Overall I highly recommend the book. I have some nitpicks about it - such as much of the book is repetition. For instance, one person will say something, another character will repeat back almost verbatim, but as a question, and then the first person verifies by a third repetition. So I did feel that there was some filler, which I found a bit annoying - HOWEVER

I thought it was very thought provoking at the very least. I recommend it!

Traveling back east, visiting family, so I missed something -- where is this book available? Thanks.

PS -- Lezlee and I also went to Adam-ondi-Ahman, early spring there, and a most lovely place.

Yes.

Dr. Jones, I got my copy from Amazon.com. There is also a YouTube video that is about an hour long that the author pretty much covers the important points, but the book is a much better presentation.

So many books, so little time! Isaiah is a hot topic for me right now. :)

The Harbinger is an interesting read. I do agree that it's quite redundant, nevertheless he makes some compelling points about the dual fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecies...especially Isaiah 9:10. I wish there were more to it.
