The Paradigm: The Ancient Blueprint That Holds the Mystery of Our Times Audio CD – Unabridged, December 6, 2017

I am only 3 chapters in and this book is absolutely amazing and so on point! It points out how there's nothing new under the sun.

Absolutely an amazing book! Jonathan cahn did amazing writing this book! My mom actually told me to get it from the library a couple of weeks ago and when I finished reading it I knew I had to buy it! Mostly because I want to loan it to some of my freind because I think they definitely need to read it!! If you read the book of ecclesiastes in the Bible it says "there is nothing new under the sun" and this book just proves that verse! :)

Cahn's presentation is scholarly, and many claim he assigns Biblical meaning to events after the fact. Comparing one era of history to another and finding parallels, patterns, and cycles seems pretty studied. Cahn looks for the meaning and finds it in Ancient Israel and Biblical messaging, not whimsically assigning meaning.The shocker was how closely modern events are patterned after well-recorded historical events dating back over 2,000 years. These people were living in the moment in their selfish and self-centered ways. The Jewish sect of the Sadducees maps perfectly to contemporary times and the Democratic party, but the pattern goes even more profound. Interestingly, the United States seemingly acts out ancient Israel in so many ways that it is spooky, and the Democratic party seems to be at the center.The pattern is so acute that the duration, timing, sequencing, and type of events are on cue not to the generality but to the specificity. These parallels are so perfect that one questions the degree of our free will. What gets me is that these people do not realize their role in this pattern. They think they are free-willed in their behavior. The appearance is that they are actors in an epic script. All the world's a stage, And all the men and women are merely players; They have their exits and entrances...In the pattern, Donald Trump is the warrior-King Jehu who delays judgment and clears out the remnants of King Ahab's house, aka the swamp today. This means America is under the eye of judgment NOW, and if Israel's pattern is played out, America will fall like Israel. Israel, the Northern Kingdom, fell to the Assyrians 35 years after King Jehu's death. Will America fall 35 years after Trump leaves office? That will put the fall at 2074.Many things can happen that continue to delay judgment as God uses nations and people to do his bidding. America may continue as Israel has continued, but not without disruptions and tribulations. While all the end-time strategic trends are in play for the first time in world history, much more must be in place before the Great Tribulation. We remain in the Church Age, centering on the Gentiles, and the focus remains on bringing people to Christ.God gave Israel nine harbingers. The 911 event was the first harbinger for the US. In a weird parallel act, the official US response to 911 was Senator Tom Daschle (D) reciting Isaiah 9:11. This was God's judgment against Israel for rejecting God. Daschle's career was immediately over. The New York Democrats then acted out Isaiah 9:9-10, and on cue, the sycamores died. Senator John Edwards (D) confirmed the official US response and his career ended immediately. Obama signed the last beam installed on the Freedom Tower, saying, "We did it. We rebuilt." This was the third confirmation of the official US response. However, Obama omitted the phrase 'without God,' which was the saving grace. Had he signed it using the words 'without God,' judgment would have been upon the US. Whether or not Obama's omission was willful trying to save his career or another scene in the pattern or paradigm is a moot point. Judgment is delayed.I'm curious how much of our lives are predestined and how much is genuinely free will. Ecclesiastes 3 is a song by The Byrds called Turn, Turn, Turn, and it has a Biblical message of a Time for Everything and nothing new under the Sun. In the light of the Paradigm, there IS nothing new under the Sun as the Paradigm or pattern cycles to new faces. The Bible remarks that the Believers were personally known before the foundations of time (Romans 8:29) and that Christ chose you, you do not choose him (John 15:16). While those verses have long-held life applications, perhaps the Paradigm sheds light on the fact that we are not as in control as we think. Until the Providential Hand of God moves the needle, history is a stuck record, record, record... repeating itself.This book is very illuminating.

Captivating ! This books is amazing. Since starting to read it at 4 am on the date of release, I've been reading none stop. Jonathan Cahn did an amazing job in this book. The first chapters already drew me in. With the revelation about the paradigm about the King and the Queen, who historically in the bible were King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, but they have modern counterpart as a recent sitting president and his wife ! The similarities are really amazing, regarding their rebellion against God, moral relativism, taking of innocent lives in abortion (child sacrifices in the times of Jezebel), and seeking New Age counseling as compared to Jezebel's being a priestess of Baal and Astoreth. It pictures the nation of Israel in Apostasy and the many events that happened, including murder and a vineyard and how it fits with the events of the King and Queen. The parallel between Ben Hadad and Bin Ladin was also very interesting. "Because you have let slip out of your hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore,= your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people" 1 Kings 20:42 of the many opportunities that a modern president had to take out Bin Ladin, but didn't, which eventually led to the despicable, tragic attack of the United States in September 11, 2001. After these first chapters, the book also contains the Paradigm of the Day, the Heir, the Warrior, The Temple, and the Elijah Paradigm which were so interesting. There are just so many wonderful nuggets in this book. Jonathan goes through each paradigm thoroughly and systemically, with full biblical references and current references for the current events that paralels the biblical events. This book is amazing. Its not just systemic and full of information, but Jonathan write is a very captivating way that is hard to put down. Anyone who loves the bible and God, and prophecy, and the Last Days, and the most current fulfillments of the prophecy would enjoy this book enormously. Come Lord Come. Maranatha , Amen.

I found the book interesting.

Jonathan Cahn is definitely a great author,his explanation of the spiritual truth that's happening now is definitely something every one should read, his perspective is spot on

God was is and always will be alive! Jonathan Cahn connect biblical figures to modern day figures and reveals that it is time to be ready for The Rapture. Those who do not know Jesus will be left behind. Now is the time for non-believers to make a decision. Jonathan’s book is a testament to our powerful and all-knowing Creator!

This book really hit home for me considering the times we live in and Jonathan Kahn does a nice job connecting the dots for those of us who aren't biblical scholars and didn't (until now) see the parallels between ancient Israel and modern day America. Want a book you can't put down? This is it.

Wonderful book and thanks very much

The book reveals our parallel ancient world and today's Modern world. It's so eye opening and I'm very glad to read it.

Ein sehr gutes Buch: so informativ. Ich kam manchmal vor lauter Staunen gar nicht mehr raus. Ich danke Jonathan Cahn wirklich für biblisch ausgelegte Wahrheiten die uns auch heute betreffen.

I am not fully aware of the laws in the States that have been introduced by Barak Obama and, earlier, by Clinton. The author is speaking extensively about abortion laws and the laws restricting Christian practices in public, especially in the army. But a lot of what he writes about is instinctively felt looking at the events in the world. I happen to be a witness to spreading of the "ease of abortion on demand" practice in different nations that had been financed with the American taxpayers' money. I can't be absolutely sure about the calculations the author is using to draw parallels between the ancient events of Ahab, Jehu and Jezebel and modern days of Clintons, Obama and Trump. But even if only a part of them is correct, it is absolutely mind boggling. I agree with his conclusion that time is running out and we all must decide once and for all where we stand on good and evil. Read this book, even if you find it too far-fetched and religiously zealous, it will make you re-think and re-evaluate a lot of what you know.

A book every one should read. So revealing. Totally relevant for today. Personally uplifting for life in this modern age.
