Jonathan Cahn has done it again.
Back in 2012, his first book The Harbinger, published by Charisma Media, became a New York Times best seller in its first week, and the sequel The Harbinger II: The Return dominated rankings worldwide in an unprecedented manner in September of 2020. Since his first, every one of Cahn’s books — such as The Paradigm (2017), The Oracle (2019), and The Return of the Gods (2022) — have made spectacular entries on multiple bestseller lists.
And now in 2023 comes his stunning new book The Josiah Manifesto: The Ancient Mystery and Guide for the End Times, released by Charisma Media’s Frontline on September 5. This blockbuster has seen groundbreaking book sales and has not only become another New York Times Bestseller but has become #1 on The Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly and beyond. Some of the lists The Josiah Manifesto has topped include:
- #1 The Wall Street Journal – Hardcover Nonfiction
- #1 The Wall Street Journal – Nonfiction combined
- #1 Publishers Weekly – Hardcover Nonfiction
- #1 The Parable Group
The Josiah Manifesto opens up stunning biblical parallels between what happened to the nation of ancient Israel as they turned from God and what’s happening in America today. Beginning with a shocking warning that Cahn himself gave to dictator Fidel Castro shortly before he left office, Cahn takes readers on a prophetic journey that warns America of its last move to righteousness on its way to destruction.
“From my first book, The Harbinger, onward, I have written of the signs, warnings, and harbingers of judgment that appeared in the last days of ancient Israel, just before its destruction,” says Cahn. “I have warned that these same harbingers are now manifesting on American soil.”
He explains, “The kingdoms of Israel and Judah were destroyed over the blood of thousands. America’s hands are covered with the blood of millions. The nation’s apostasy is accelerating. Its war against God is deepening. By all biblical measures, it is a nation under judgment and heading toward calamity. The sign of the broken altar is consistent with prognosis. And so as it was in the last days of ancient Israel, America’s Josiah moment carries with it an ominous warning.”
The Josiah Manifesto opens up a multitude of mysteries unfolding in modern America and the world – from the mystery of Covid 19, to the ancient calendar that has determined the shakings of America, to an ancient mystery that explains Donald Trump and may foretell the next election, to the overturning of Roe V. Wade, and much more. But it also does something unique: it provides the answer, a template, a manifesto for all who would stand for God in such times as these.
“As the book opens up the stunning mysteries that lie behind the events that are unfolding right now, it also gives the key to unlocking the answer,” says Cahn, “a blueprint, a guide for how to stand and prevail in this hour, and in light of what is yet to come.”
Cahn reveals how the events of our time point to a specific and critical moment in the history of ancient Israel – and to the figure of Josiah. He writes of the Josiah Moment, where a nation that once knew God now stands on the verge of judgment on one hand – and a last chance for revival on the other.
“I have long held the conviction that without revival America will be lost,” Cahn says, “and without repentance, there can be no revival. As God called Israel to return in its last days before judgment, He is now calling America.”
So what does the future hold? Is America heading for calamity? Is the world? Is there hope? Have we been given a last chance, and is it possible to alter the future? What is the blueprint that we need to know? The Josiah Manifesto points out how the biblical signs of judgment and calamity are manifesting. Can we afford not to heed the warning?
