“The Dangers of Tolerance” ― Jonathan Cahn, The Harbinger: The Ancient Mystery that Holds the Secret of America’s Future
“Some would call it tolerance, I said. Yes he replied, the same tolerance that overtook ancient Israel..a tolerance for everything opposed to God, a growing tolerance for immorality and a growing intolerance for the pure-a tolerance that mocked, marginalized and condemned those who ramined faithful to the values now being discarded. Innocence was ridiculed and virtue was vilified. Children were taught of sexual immorality in public schools while the Word of God was banned. It was a tolerance that put the profane on public display and removed nativity scenes from public sight..contraband, as if somehow they had become a threat-a strangely intolerant tolerance. “But still, I countered, how does all that compare to what happened in ancient Israel? America does’nt offer its children on altars of sacrifice? “Does it not? he said. Ten years after removing prayer and Scripture from its public schools, the nation legalized the illing of its unborn.”

“The Dangers of Tolerance”
- Tolerance has long been hailed a cornerstone of modern society, a virtue that allows individuals to coexist as their differences. However, as the statement above suggests, tolerance can also have a dark side. When taken to the extreme, tolerance can become a form of intolerance, one that marginalizes and condemns those who hold onto traditional values and beliefs.

- The statement compares the current state of America to ancient Israel, pointing out that both societies have experienced a “tolerance” that has led to the acceptance of immorality and the persecution of those who remain faithful to their values. In ancient Israel, this tolerance manifests itself in the form of idol worship and the offering of children on altars of sacrifice. In modern America, the statement argues, this tolerance has led to the removal of prayer and scripture from public schools, the legalization of abortion, and the marginalization of those who hold traditional values.
- It’s important to recognize that tolerance is a complex and nuanced concept. While it is important to respect the beliefs and values of others, it is also important to stand up for one’s own beliefs and values. When tolerance becomes a form of intolerance, it can have destructive consequences for society as a whole.
- As the statement points out, America has seen a number of negative consequences as a result of this “tolerance” for immorality. The removal of prayer and scripture from public schools has led to a decline in moral values, while the legalization of abortion has had a profound impact on the sanctity of life.
However, it’s important to note that these negative consequences are not inevitably. By standing up for our values and beliefs, we can push back against the forces of intolerance and work to create a more moral and just society. Whether through activism, education, or other forms of engagement, we can all play a role in promoting tolerance and respect for all individuals, regardless of their beliefs or values
