The Harbinger (novel)
The Harbinger is a 2012 best-selling[1] Christian novel by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, a Messianic Jew. It suggests that the 9/11 terrorism attack was a divine warning to the United States.[2][3][4] Cahn ties the 9/11 attacks to Isaiah 9:10, which reads: "The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars" (King James Version).
Cahn was a speaker at the 2013 Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast - not to be confused with the National Prayer Breakfast - in Washington, D.C.[3]
Critical response
Glenn Beck called it "an incredible story", saying that the author's use of novel format was at present the only way to have a serious conversation about God for modern Americans.[5]
