Rabbi Jonathan Cahn is one of the few humble yet fiery prophetic voices I trust. God has already used him to call for nationwide repentance and revival in America. Perhaps you have heard about or read his books The Harbinger and The Mystery of the Shemitah. Despite how he has been characterized by skeptics, Jonathan is not date-setting, creating hype to sell books, or drawing anyone’s attention to anything other than a right relationship with God. His latest book proves this genuine motive.
Somehow, I was blessed to be a part of the launch team for his latest spiritual endeavor, The Book of Mysteries. I do not know Jonathan personally nor have I gained anything from being on the team other than receiving an advance copy of the book.
The Book of Mysteries is not your typical daily devotional. It is written seemingly from the perspective of a first-century teacher at a school in the desert. We are given the blessing of eavesdropping on the timeless biblical lessons being shared as this teacher and one of his students do life together.
If you are familiar at all with Jonathan Cahn, you know that he often delves into the historical and cultural context, studying root words whenever possible. By doing so, he sheds true light on the meaning and interpretation of each biblical mystery. This is a rare trait in today’s so-called preachers and teachers, much less in the study (or lack thereof) of the average professing Christian.
Each daily lesson from teacher to student ends in “The Mission.” In order to really grasp the spiritual lessons found in these deep waters, the book should be read over the course of a year. The reader should let each day’s biblical truth sink in to the heart level; it will result in a life more reflective of one surrendered to Jesus the Messiah.
As the teacher shares on Day 1, “…only by becoming an open vessel can you contain that which is greater than yourself.” With a willing heart, The Book of Mysteries will show you treasures that you may be learning for the first time. By the end, you will agree with the teacher that God truly is the “final and ultimate mystery.” I’m grateful to have eternity to know Him more. This book has given me motivation to go deeper in my own spiritual walk and in my personal study of Scripture.
