Paradigm: Jonathan Cahn (Book Review)

I make a point to read 1-2 books a month; this was one of the books I read and it is good. What's described in this book is parallel to what's going on today. This book goes into detail about ancient Israel turning their backs on God regardless of God's blessing upon them. My thing is, how can you turn your back on the one who blessed you? I could never do that, especially with how good God has been to me. Cahn describes how the proliferation of Baal worship turned Israelite morality on its head. Marriage became separate from sexuality as prostitution became part of the worship of Baal, a Phoenician fertility god. As sex was removed from the marital bedroom, it was increasingly put on public display. As a result, culture became more coarse, crude and harsh. Even gender became subjective as male prostitutes became a part of Baal worship. What was evil began to be viewed as good, and good was viewed as evil. Anyone who has read or wants to read this book can compare what's going on now to the apostasy that took place back in ancient Israel times. Jonathan Cahn pulls no punches in this book about the state of America, but he does offer hope that America can avoid judgment if this nation repents and turns back to God.
