(ETH) – Thousands of Christians are planning to come together in Washington, DC on September 26th for an event called “The Return: National and Global Day of Prayer and Repentance.”

The movement is being led by Author and Speaker Jonathan Cahn who is the co-chair of the event and recently spoke to 700 Club host Pat Robertson about the event on this week’s 700 Club where Cahn called it a “solemn assembly” based on 2 Chronicles 7:14 from the Bible:

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

Cahn stated:  “It’s going to be on the National Mall in Washington, DC, on September 26th,” Cahn said. “But it’s also going to be around the world and around the country for those who can’t make it, it’s going to be streamed to their homes, their churches, they can have their own event. The point is, this is a crucial moment.”

“The Return” is a movement that is open for all believers from all denominations and backgrounds. According to CBN, many of those involved in the movement include Gen. William Boykin, Carter Conlon, Dr. James Dobson, Bishop Harry Jackson, Alveda King, Anne Graham Lotz, Pat Robertson, Gordon Robertson, Kevin, and Sam Sorbo, Stephen E. Strang, and many others.

The event is set to take place 40 days before the presidential election, and on the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower. The event being held on Septemeber 26th will also be centered around a period of 10 days, known from ancient times as the “Days of Awe”, to be set as a special time of prayer and repentance from September 18-28. “I believe this is the moment,” Cahn said. “If we don’t do this now, we may pass the point of no return.”
