Nissan 5786: Doors of Hope and Plumb Line Shakings

We have entered into a new Biblical year. Can you feel it, do you discern a new page has been turned around the world? Nissan is finally here and all that comes with it has entered like a freight train for all to take notice. God is ushering in changes that are forcing us to see more clearly the earthly impediments that hold us like weights at the bottom of the sea even though we know we are meant to swim, to run and to fly in the things God is calling us into this new year.

Like ancient paths and highways that have been covered over by the sands of time, deceptions, rebellions, and lies, as we enter Nissan, God is moving these covering sands aside in our personal lives so that we may adjust course, corporately as His body and Bride so that we can refocus, and globally to see Bible prophecy continue to be fulfilled. Get ready this month for surprises both good and bad, for plumb line judgements around the globe while we see two separate prophetic clocks in operation which we are to choose from this year whether we like it, realize it or not. Even the old wine skin of last year cannot hold the new wine that God is pouring out afresh this year, and He is asking and pushing us with acceleration and new anointing to be vessels of that new wine. Are you ready for a year of action in the arena instead of in the bleachers? Ready or not Nissan is here.

Plumb Line Pendulum

Just prior to the beginning of Nissan during a time of prayer and worship, a vision was had of a plumb line over Israel, but just like the pendulum of a clock the plumb line was swinging back and forth slowly, until it finally came to a stop over Israel. As it did, not only was Israel judged, but the nations of the world followed suit as though in the crosshairs of a tidal wave after an earthquake. It was not the end of the age that was being seen, but clearly current events this Nissan which will shake Israel and the globe. We are seeing it now, but this is just the beginning believe it or not. The shock waves of the tsunami that are coming will not just be one but many, so get ready to ride the waves or be pummeled by them instead.

In parallel, we are being called as watchmen on the walls and gate keepers of our families, businesses, congregations, communities, cities, nations, etc. as this shaking goes forth from Israel to the ends of the earth. The shakings will worsen but “we have not been given a spirit of fear, but of a sound mind and of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7). By the leading of this Holy Spirit from which we pray and act from the victory of the blood of Yeshua as ambassadors of the Kingdom of heaven and sons and daughters of the most high God victory is assured. Leave the fear to those who do not know or trust the God of Israel as this is no longer our inheritance or burden to bear. May our walk as believers amidst the storms that are coming be a lighthouse which beckons many to stand upon the Rock of Salvation which allows His light to shine no matter what.

Prophetic Clocks, Altars and Idols

Two prophetic clocks are in play in the world, the clock of Babylon and the clock of Zion which are directly opposed to one another. The clock of Babylon is the evil agenda and timeline of the fallen kingdom of darkness while the clock of Zion is the blueprint and timeline of God. This is playing out between Israel and Iran as we speak, as well as globally. The question is which one are we aligned to because depending on the clock our prayers and actions will differ immensely, one giving power to the enemy and the other coming into agreement with God’s will on earth as it is in heaven.

While the war rages in Israel once again, it is easy to pick sides as far is who is right and wrong, but when we take a look at Biblical history, such judgements like October 7th for example is God calling His people to turn back to Him. Prior to October 7th Israel at large had made idols of its highly advanced military capabilities and its government. Both of these came crashing down on October 7th as the military and the government failed completely in their response leading to the gruesome and tragic events that day. At the same time that day at the Nova Festival being held near the Gaza border, while at first glance it may have seemed like innocent fun, there was worship of foreign gods and idols taking place in direct defiance of God’s command to His people. Their tragic deaths in that place and elsewhere then became sacrificial altars taken advantage of by the fallen kingdom of darkness which are now places not only of mourning, but now, also magnifiers of the need for revenge, hate, murder, and an overall evil dark motivation for most Israelis. Israel has the right to defend itself, but as believers we must remember that such evil motivations, no matter how justified they seem, are not from God and should not affect the motivations of our hearts lest they become idols in and of themselves. So despite how we feel about Hamas or Israel, one thing should never change in our prayers which is to pray for the peace of Jerusalem as those who do so will be blessed (Psalm 122:6), and remember Genesis 12:3 which says, “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse.” These are promises of God that begin to align us to the clock of Zion.

Genesis 12:3 comes into play in regards to Hamas as well as Iran and all of its proxies who openly curse Israel day and night and want Israel’s total destruction down to every last man woman and child. Hamas has been cursed and is being cursed for cursing Israel. But does that mean we only pray for the redemption and salvation of Israel and do not pray for the people living in Gaza and even Hamas for redemption and salvation? Many have a hard time with this, but what does God command? “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you” (Luke 6:28). Does that mean that we should agree with everything the IDF, the Israeli government, or what Hamas is doing? Absolutely not, but we should first and foremost love what God loves with His love so that when we pray and take action it is not from a place of bad fruit, but of the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) in order to be aligned with God’s clock according to His times and seasons. In doing so we begin to see more clearly the blueprint of God not only for Nissan and the new year, but day by day so as not to fall into the deceptions of the enemy and the desires of the flesh which lead to all the evil we see before us (James 4:1-5).

From Altars of Evil to Doors of Hope

The places of death and devastation on October 7th are in many cases being preserved as reminders of what happened, but instead of these places becoming evil altars and idols, the Holy Spirit gave us Hosea 2:12-16 regarding His punishment over Israel, but then ultimately Israel’s redemption and the redemption of the land after turning back to Him. Hosea 2:16 says,

“Then I will give her her vineyards from there,
And make the Valley of Achor a door of hope and expectation [anticipating the time when I will restore My favor on her].
And she will sing there and respond as in the days of her youth
As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.

“It shall come about in that day,” says the Lord,
“That you will call Me Ishi (my husband)
And will no longer call Me Baali (my Baal).

God was clear to us through this verse that He is calling us to be intentional this Nissan and this Biblical new year not only to tear down evil altars and raise up altars of worship in Spirit and Truth (John :23-24) here in Israel, but for every believer around the world to do the same through the resurrection power of the blood of Yeshua which redeems us according to the original blueprint of God. “Doors of hope and expectation” will replace evil altars wherever you are in the world as you ask the Holy Spirit to lead you and guide you not only to tear down and build back up according to God’s plan in the land, but in every sphere of society realizing the authority we have and the mandate we carry having been restored through Yeshua and the Holy Spirit. We have been restored to a time before Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil. As such, go boldly where the King of kings commands and watch the plans of the enemy for evil turn to good and the places and people once forgotten become a praise on the earth for the glory of God.

For the past years, the King of kings has been speaking about a generation of Josephs that are arising in the earth, who in times of turmoil and crisis would be ready to bring kingdom solutions to issues that the world does not have. This Nissan and throughout the new year we will see many in this Joseph generation arising in all fields and spheres of society, some worldly qualified, and others not at all who have simply given their “yes” to Yahweh. They will be used to topple age-old industries with ungodly agendas as well as local and global institutions, hierarchies, and governments, replacing old systems with God systems. No matter your current situation or circumstance, do not think that you are out of this equation. God has been known to select those who are “under qualified” for what He has planned and purposed. Many of us, like Joseph have been tested to our limits, others like Paul, redeemed, delivered and set free for God’s glory, and those like Mordechai who dared to stand his ground according to the promises of God, activating a generation in true faith that the God of Israel is who He says He Is. If you dare believe in God’s promises for your life and for what He has given you as your hearts desire to gift the world, the obstacles and scary things become small, and just like Nehemiah with the seal of the King, you will see even your enemies bless you. Let your ears ring with the voice of the King of kings, your eyes behold His glory, and witness your greatest fears bow, submit, and disappear. It may have felt at times like a lonely road, but this new season, the colossal changes that will be brought about around the world will take true Kingdom family and Ekklesias who walk together in the Fear of the Lord and the oneness of the Holy Spirit not only working together in a spiritual sense but practically as well. If the disciples of Yeshua and the Apostles could do it as born again Spirit filled believers, then so can we. It may seem difficult, messy, and complicated as we all proceed to throw off the flesh, but the question becomes, is it worth it? Is it worth it to see His perfect will come to fruition. No more worrying about the how, He has that under control, but it is for us to obey His voice and direction and watch Him make the way.

Kingdom Family and Oneness

The new wine cannot be held by last years wine skin, and a huge part of ourselves being the new wine skin has to do with what God has been speaking about renewing His original blueprint of family both family by blood and those who God has connected us with who are like kingdom family. The enemy is trying to destroy that concept because when we come together as a family the enemy has no power, because the power of the fallen kingdom of darkness comes through un-forgiveness, division, hate, fear, worry, pride and sin. But if we come together in the oneness of the Holy Spirit seeing we still are not perfect as Yeshua is perfect, but that is where we are going, we can do what family is meant to do, know God’s purpose and destiny for one another and be a catalyst in doing what we can to bring them into their destinies according to the book God has written for them (Psalm 139:16). As a kingdom family we worship God in Spirit and Truth (John 4:23-24) and together we are in His presence and the presence of the angelic hosts giving our love and receiving His, and all the while we hear and see together what He is doing and saying. Each of us are a part of the Body of Yeshua (1 Corinthians 12:27) and Yeshua is the head, meaning we need one another, not because we are forced to, but because we truly need one another brought together by the forgiveness of sin and the glue of the Holy Spirit through whom is the only way to become Holy. Righteous we can be through obedience, but holiness is only attained by the help and leading of the Holy Spirit. The true definition of Ekklesia is coming to fruition this Biblical New year and God is calling us to get it right according to His Word instead of the world.

“And [His gifts to the Ekklesia were varied and] He Himself appointed some as apostles [special messengers, representatives], some as prophets [who speak a new message from God to the people], some as evangelists [who spread the good news of salvation], and some as pastors and teachers [to shepherd and guide and instruct], and He did this] to fully equip and perfect the saints (God’s people) for works of service, to build up the body of Christ [the Ekklesia]; until we all reach oneness in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, [growing spiritually] to become a mature believer, reaching to the measure of the fullness of Christ [manifesting His spiritual completeness and exercising our spiritual gifts in unity]. So that we are no longer children [spiritually immature], tossed back and forth [like ships on a stormy sea] and carried about by every wind of [shifting] doctrine, by the cunning and trickery of [unscrupulous] men, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything [for personal profit]. But speaking the truth in love [in all things—both our speech and our lives expressing His truth], let us grow up in all things into Him [following His example] who is the Head—Christ. From Him the whole body [the church, in all its various parts], joined and knitted firmly together by what every joint supplies, when each part is working properly, causes the body to grow and mature, building itself up [b]in [unselfish] love. (Ephesians 4:11-16).

Pray and ask God what His purpose is for the creation of family, why He brought you into this world and purposely put you with the people He put you with both by blood and by divine appointment. Do you know them according to God’s will for their lives? Do you care? Do you know what God’s plan is for you? As we operate as a true Kingdom family what the world deems impossible will come to pass. And just as Israel was delivered from Egypt, God is delivering us like a newborn into the world with the understanding of His original purpose of family. The world will be shocked at what will be achieved this Biblical new year.

Israel Now

On the one hand, it seems that Israel has by and large been successful in destroying the effectiveness of Hamas, Hezbollah in the north, the Houthis in Yemen, and ultimately weakened to a great extent Iran’s power in the region. From that perspective it looks good for Israel, but within the country Israel is bursting at its seems and ready to explode. With the war having restarted just prior to the Biblical new year, and the trust of the government and military at an all time low, and hundreds of thousands of reservists being called back up to fight away from their jobs and families once again, people have had enough.

The talk from your average Israeli citizen at this point is whether or not Israel will still be a democracy in the near future, and even the real possibility of civil war if the war continues much longer and a new government is not voted for. In Iran people across the country have begun to rise up publicly in defiance of the Ayatollahs and leaders even defying the celebration of Ramadan for example and calling for the return of the crown prince of Iran to lead once again. All the while the crown prince, currently in exile in the U.S., publicly addressed Iranians abroad and in Iran during Ramadan and the traditional Nowruz Festival declaring that the time has finally come for a regime change. Words that echo with power and the possibility of success unlike any time in the history of Iran’s current regime.

In the case of Israel, Biblically and historically the fallen kingdom of darkness has tried and succeeded in separating Israel and creating divisions even to the point of splitting into two kingdoms. Right now, the enemy is at it again and we must pray for a swift conclusion to the war as well as peace amongst ourselves united against our many enemies that still surround us. Let us also pray for the people of Iran who despite the news and the political elites by and large love Israel. Imagine an Iran that was allied with Israel instead of its number one goal being the Genocide of Israel? Let us pray for this reality to come to pass and see those who once cursed us become a blessing to us and those who we have been taught to hate and defeat to become friends and allies.

Conclusion

It is clear from God that His plumb line over Israel will soon cease swinging bringing with it God’s judgement which will affect all nations in a major way meaning for every nation the plumb line is over you too. This is a time and season of grand opportunity for the body of Yeshua here in Israel and around the globe to step into our calling as Ambassadors and witnesses of Yeshua manning the walls and the gates both in Israel and wherever God has called you to be in this Nissan and new year. The two prophetic clocks tick away, and we are being called to choose which timeline we will enter into. Will we allow the altars of the enemy to lure us into fleshly action and idol worship or align ourselves with the heart of the Father for Israel and the nations to see those altars and idols crumble and make way for His kingdom come in Israel and the nations in a major way. As we align with the clock of Zion, doors of hope will appear to those whose eyes have been blinded to the Truth emboldened to step into Salvation (Yeshua) now that the illusions and deceptions of Satan have been revealed.

At the same time God is raising up a generation of Josephs and Nehemiahs who are building with the blueprint of Almighty God in the run up to 2030 on the Gregorian calendar not only disrupting the plans of the enemy around the globe, but even reversing the evil plans that have been so carefully executed over time. As the Josephs, Nehemias, Mordechais and Esthers arise from obscurity, their effectiveness for the Kingdom of God will be in coming together as a kingdom family and true Ekklesias. Like never before in history the entire world is beginning to be awakened to God’s original intent of family and therefore a more humble and selfless global body and bride of Yeshua. The oneness of the Holy Spirit will be the glue that the enemy cannot break, divide or conquer, and it is essential that we set aside all manner of flesh and submit fully to God both personally and corporately. While this new year begins, Israel is in its most fragile state in its more than 75 years after being re-established. What comes next for better or worse will change the world forever. God is asking for our unconditional commitment no matter what it takes to fulfill His plans and purposes in this new year, and as soon as we give it, heaven is mobilized on our behalf and where there were only walls and impediments before, suddenly become open gates and highways with each new step of faith into new territory with Yahweh in the lead. Nissan has ushered in a time and season that will be remembered throughout history that changed the world as we know it. It’s time to buckle and enjoy the ride and passenger seat of Yahweh God Most High. Yahweh bless you and keep you kingdom family!
