The hype concerning September and October of this year producing some cataclysmic event in the economy or elsewhere is primarily due to Jonathan Cahn's book The Mystery of the Shemitah. In this video from August Mr. Cahn clarifies a few points which I would like to address.
The rest of the video is more or less a call for prayer and repentance. I'll certainly go along with that, but as for the first half of the video he basically is telling us that these Jewish feasts and time cycles indicate that something that happens almost every year may or may not happen in September, or October, or any time between now and September of 2016, and he's just sounding the alarm. Alarm for what?

- A Great Shaking Is Coming - This could very well be true. America is in an ongoing moral decline, I agree. However, the time and the method of the shaking is left very murky. He's just sounding the alarm. It could be a financial or economic collapse, a natural disaster, terrorism, or war. So if there's an economic downturn, an earthquake, a terrorist attack, or a war in the next few months we'll know that he was right.
[*=left]God Is Sovereign ... He doesn't have to do anything - So now the alarm is being sounded because something might not happen.
[*=left]If Nothing Happens We Will Spread The Gospel, And If Something Happens We Will Spread The Gospel - Of course we will. So what's all the Shemitah about?
[*=left]The Time Frame For The Shemitah Is Sept. 2015 - Sept. 2016 - So we could actually have an economic downturn or a natural disaster or a terrorist attack over the next twelve months. Odds are pretty good that one of those three things could happen in any given year. In fact we've had a terrorist attack or a thwarted terrorist attack every year since 9-11. The same is true of natural disasters.
[*=left]The SCOTUS Decision Regarding Gay Marriage Was An Act Of Desecration What Will Bring Judgment - The same was said when prayer was banned from public schools in the '60s, and when Roe vs. Wade legalized abortion in the '70s. While I agree that this was not a good thing and that it is another warning sign on the road to judgment, I don't think it necessarily means the judgment of God will be poured out on America in the next twelve months any more than it was after the other two rulings I mentioned.
