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.
