THE HARBINGER - A Book Recommendation & Objective Review

So, I finally read this book that was first released over 2 years ago. The Harbinger is a prominent historical narrative (listed officially as fiction/suspense) and worth much discussion due to its content, claims, and most importantly, its staying-power as a NY Times best-seller.

For a book to have this much longevity and success on the NY Times list is quite the accomplishment. Honestly though, I'm not really surprised because The Harbinger packs as much punch and intrigue as the finest Dan Brown novel. It also speaks openly to the direction and track America is currently on (which most Americans find perplexing I would venture to say).

If you are like me and had not yet read this book, I suggest you pick up a copy. You will find it fascinating but also troubling (both for its suppositions and, at times, its blind spots).

The link below is for an article which discusses how and why The Harbinger has managed such an incredible publishing feat.

The 2nd link provides (what I found to be) a very objective and fair review of the book, its author and its message.

Why so Much Controversy Surrounding THE HARBINGER?

The article popped up towards the top of the feed through a basic google search. Honestly, I did very little research into the background or credentials of these bloggers. I simply found this one review from their site to be insightful and objective. Their thoughts on Washington's Freemason ties especially resonated with similar thoughts I had while reading the book.

All in all, I would rate The Harbinger as a 4 out of 5 and one of the most thought-provoking things I have read in the last 10 years.

The Harbinger

It really fascinates me to know that 2 out of the 3 political leaders that claimed and propagated Isaiah 9:10 from the nation's capital after 9/11 fell into public disgrace shortly thereafter. What will happen to that 3rd witness? Maybe only God knows, but time will tell.

The parallelism attributed to ancient Israel and America may be a stretch in places within The Harbinger; however, I love parables and good story-telling that communicates gospel truth. I think this book has tremendous parabolic value in that regard.

What is Transhumanism & Eugenics and Are These Linked to the Occult?

We have arrived at a period in history where God's chosen people must learn to walk in the Spirit. The days are darker than ever before, and I promise you, we have not seen anything yet. True awakening must take place soon or MANY will be swept away in deception and destruction.

Bizarre Realities are Just Around the Corner

Our Secret Weapon and Most Precious Privilege

When I left with Miriam for Congo 3 weeks ago now, I expected to encounter Yahweh in some truly significant, and possibly new ways, during our time here. 

One area I sensed He had much yet still to counsel me on was the subject of prayer. Within the 1st week of staying in our guest housing, my eyes locked onto an old-weathered copy of The Prayer Life by Andrew Murray tucked away in some shelving in the living room.

The funny thing (actually more like sad) is that I remember numerous times passing this book or other ones by Andrew Murray located in the Christian Classics section at local book stores in previous years (because I lacked the courage to face the reality of how frail and sickly my prayer devotion was as an adopted child of the King then). 

I had read a couple of short bios on Andrew Murray before so I knew full well that he was the real deal and uniquely qualified to instruct others on such a holy subject and practice. 

After finishing the book last night, I determined to share my strongest commendation that any believers which read this entry should avail themselves to The Prayer Life by Andrew Murray. If you acknowledge and grieve over your lack of power to walk just as Jesus did and pray without ceasing, this book is for you. 

I have been troubled for years over the lack of holiness, power and consecration within the Church of our time. If we would only abide in Christ like the first disciples who continued steadfastly in the apostles' teaching, fellowship and prayers (Acts 2:42), we could share to a far greater extent in their fearlessness and victory. I believe a day is quickly approaching when many will return to the Lord with such deep devotion that revival will result. I only pray that it does not take the world falling in all around us, before we get there. 

The challenges/hardships facing me, my family and this world require so much more living faith and consecration to the Lord. So, with Jesus as my Advocate and Source, I pledge to make my life a holy prayer unto Him. I trust in His sufficiency and grace to draw me into the eternal inner chamber where my soul has yearned to linger since the first hour of new birth in Christ.

I have been blessed to attend four African prayer celebrations since arriving in Gemena (one hosted by World Vision and other informal gatherings of intercession for a local NGO or non-profit initiative). I will talk more about these and other experiences in future posts. In the meantime, I strongly encourage those hungry for His presence and transforming power to get their hands on The Prayer Life as well.

The Relationship Between Law & Grace

This has been a heavy subject on my heart for over 10 years. I recently came across a Q&A format video from Sid Roth that addressed virtually all of this debate in some of the most candid, well-articulated dialogue I have yet seen.

Before I share that link, allow me to share some insightful commentary from the Evidence Bible on Matthew 19:

"Here is the Master Evangelist showing us how to deal with a proud, self-righteous person...a typical sinner. This is noticeably different from the approach of modern evangelism. When the man asked how he could obtain eternal life, Jesus did not ask, 'Would you like to have assurance that if you died tonight you would go straight to heaven? You can have that confidence right now simply by acknowledging that you have sinned against God, and by trusting in the finished work of Calvary's cross. Would you like me to lead you in prayer right now so that you can have that assurance?'

Instead, Jesus pointed him to the law so that he could recognize his sin. Biblical evangelism is always 'law to the proud, grace to the humble.' John Newton said, 'My grand point in preaching is to break the hard heart and to heal the broken one.'

This young man is a prime example of an unregenerate person. He had no understanding of the word "good." Jesus reproved him, then gently gave him five horizontal Commandments--those dealing with his fellow man. When the man revealed his self-righteousness, Jesus showed him that in his vertical relationship with God he had transgressed the of first of the Ten Commandments. God wasn't foremost in his life. The rich young man loved his money, and the Scriptures make it clear that we cannot serve God and mammon (money). The law brought him "the knowledge of sin."

In light of the way most Christians share the gospel, Jesus failed because He didn't get a "decision." However, heaven doesn't rejoice over "decisions." It reserves its rejoicing for repentance, and there can be no repentance without a God-given knowledge of sin, and that, according to Scripture, can come only by the law (Romans 7:7).

False Grace - A Doctrine of Demons (1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Timothy 3)

The author of Amazing Grace had it right. "A wrong understanding of the harmony between Law and Grace would produce error on the left and the right hand" (John Newton).

What is Geoengineering and Does It Affect You and Me?

Jesus warned us that violent weather pattern changes would be an identifying characteristic of the latter days (see Matthew 24 & Luke 21). I used to think these events would be attributed directly to the justice of God against an evil generation on par with Noah's day. I no longer think this is necessarily the case.

While I do admit that He is allowing these weather changes to transpire, I now know that the violent effects Jesus warned us about will be and are a result of man's handiwork. I gather that most people don't want to admit it, but civilized man, possesses the technology and desire to control and manipulate weather. America has had such technology since the Vietnam War. We are being experimented upon like lab rats.

I defy anyone to comment on this blog and try to convince me that we are looking at contrails in our skies on a daily basis. Do contrails have a tendency to linger, expand, settle and blot out the sun for hours? This is a global phenomenon as well. I have witnessed these trails in England, Scotland and all over America.

What and Why are They Spraying

When you factor in other technologies like HAARP and genetically-modified seeds from Monsanto, the most evil corporation on the planet, you have a real recipe to dominate and decimate the earth's population. Yet, very few people seem concerned or even aware. I wonder why the Bible warns about deadly famines and earthquakes in high population zones in the last days? All the ingredients to artificially cause these abnormally destructive events are on the table…It's not a hard recipe to execute anymore.

So, let me explain just a moment on how the daily spraying of these chemicals into our skies connects with Monsanto's plans. Soil samples in diverse places have been tested, and it has been confirmed that one of the main chemicals in the spray is Aluminum Oxide (which reflects sunlight back into space; also not very good for our respiratory health!). Expert shills that even admit to this sick program will tell you that such activity must go on to combat global warming. We should not believe everything we hear, because all that stuff is propaganda and lies.

Getting back on point, the chemicals eventually seep into the soil through natural processes or more rapidly through rain. Well, these chemicals don't exactly help support the homeostasis of farming or food-growing environments. On the contrary, soon, only GMO seeds provided by Monsanto will be available and even able to grow in these toxic wastelands. GMOs are genetically modified to grow in even the harshest (artificially constructed) environments. The results are simple and frightening; people will continue to grow sicker, weaker and new cancer cases will continue to skyrocket and ravage our populaces. Man-made famines and pestilences will then take on biblical proportions.

Maybe the inscriptions from the Georgia Guidestones and the warnings of the Bible about the last days should be taken more seriously.

The Spirit of Defiance Pervades American Culture

If you have not discovered this about me yet, I absolutely love God and His Word! I am not at all satisfied with cultural christianity or the diluted form of godliness/religion without power I see in America. He has given me a supernatural hunger for prophecy and divine truth, because I believe, our time (whether you consider eschatology or brevity of life) is short.

Some may find me too enthusiastic for the things of God. To be honest, I sure hope that I can attain such a legacy, especially in light of the fact that all those who fervently loved God down throughout history had similar things said about them.

I wish there was always good news to report. However, the signs of the times are clear. The same judgments that fell upon ancient Israel are at America's door step today (Isaiah 9:10 - 21). The amazing truth though is that mercy triumphs over judgment, and God delights in grace and mercy!

2 Chronicles 7:14 is such a beautiful and pertinent promise from God for a time like this! I pray that the anti-christ fueled "spirit of defiance" would be broken so we could bless God and be able to partake in the 7:14 promises this side of Heaven.

This article is so worth your time and attention as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
