Free The Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn Page B

there any place in Isaiah that actually speaks of a tower?”
    “Centuries before the writing of the New Testament, the Hebrew Scriptures were translated into Greek. The result was a Greek version of the Hebrew Scriptures called the Septuagint . The Septuagint version of Isaiah 9:10 renders the rebuilding project in even more specific terms. It says this:
    “The bricks are fallen down… but come…let us build for ourselves a TOWER .” 23
    “How does this happen?” I asked. “How does it all come together, the words of the leaders, the vows, the Tower? It’s amazing, as if it’s all part of some kind of reenactment.”
    “The reenactment of an ancient drama of judgment,” he answered. “A reenactment in which none of the players have any idea they’re doing it.” With that he became silent, and we both gazed out into the vast expanse that surrounded us, now darker and more aglow with lights.
    “And so,” he said, breaking the silence, “out of the ruins of the nation’s calamity emerges the Fourth Harbinger, the most colossal of Harbingers, a Tower—and the most soaring testament of defiance ever to stand on American soil.”

    And again he became silent and just stood there on the deck in the wind, looking out into the lights and darkness of the cityscape.
    “A strange beauty when you look at it from here,” he remarked softly. Then he opened his hand. “The seal of the Fifth Harbinger.”
    I took it, examined it, then placed it in my pocket. “What can you tell me about it?” I asked.
    “It’s a Harbinger of foundations.”
    “Where do I find it?”
    “Away from here.”
    “You’re sure you’re not giving away too much information?”
    “ Far away from here.”

    The Fifth Harbinger: The Gazit Stone

    S O WHAT WAS on the seal?” she asked.
    “An irregular line…ascending and descending. I took it to be the top of a mountain.”
    “And where did that lead you?”
    “I looked at Isaiah 9, but there was nothing there about a mountain. I couldn’t find anything to connect the seal to the prophecy, much less to 9/11. Again I found myself at a roadblock…going nowhere…until I went deeper.”
    “Deeper?”
    “Into the prophecy. The last Harbinger focused on the word rebuild .”
    “ But we will rebuild .”
    “Yes, We will rebuild , but with what? I focused on the next word.”
    “But we will rebuild with hewn stone .”
    “But I thought that was part of the mystery of the Tower…that they would replace what was destroyed with something greater and stronger than before.”
    “It was . But the prophecy specifically speaks about a stone.”
    “A hewn stone.”
    “Yes, but it was originally written in Hebrew. That’s where I went deeper. I looked up the Hebrew behind the word stone .”
    “And…”
    “The word is gazit . It could be called the Gazit Stone . It can be translated as, a hewn stone, a carved stone , a dressed stone, a smooth stone, a cut stone , or a quarried stone . The Gazit Stone was, most specifically, a stone quarried, chiseled, and carved out of mountain rock.”
    “ Mountain rock!” she said as if proud to have come up with the discovery. “There’s your connection!”
    “Exactly. And after being quarried, it would be leveled, smoothed, and shaped into a block for use in building, a building block. After the Assyrian attack, the people of Israel would set out to rebuild. They would go to the mountains and quarries to carve, shape, and smooth the Gazit Stone. Then they would bring it back to where the bricks had fallen so the rebuilding could begin.”
    “So you actually put the clues together correctly.”
    “I believe it was the first time I did—a major accomplishment.”
    “Where did it lead you?”
    “Nowhere. It led me nowhere. I was able to connect the stone to the mountain, but nothing else. There was nothing connecting it to now…no connection to America. How many new buildings in this city do they build out of mountain stone? There
