The Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn follows journalist Baruch Nouriel Kaplan, who meets a man known as “the prophet” and uncovers an ancient biblical mystery that he believes explains modern America's struggles, including the 9/11 attacks. Through nine symbolic seals, Kaplan reveals a series of harbingers and asserts that America must return to God to avoid future judgment and destruction. The book discusses themes of judgment, economic collapse, and integrates Old Testament scripture to draw parallels between ancient Israel and contemporary America. The story includes discussions of events like 9/11, economic downturns, and political speeches.
