Trumpets Call | Arrows from Zion 10/3/2019

Jewish New Year & Biblical the Feast of Trumpets
Trumpets Call Webinar Speaks to the Days Ahead


It is somewhat a spiritual tradition among many worldwide believers to ring in the New Year on  January first with a spiritually oriented way of celebrating, and also that prophetic words are released in the New Year. So, when it comes to the rabbinic (not biblical) date of the Jewish New Year which is really the biblical date of the Feast of Trumpets, I still thought it was so appropriate for our cover story to look at what this Feast of Trumpets webinar brought forward. 

The webinar featured Israeli Messianic Jew Asher Intrater of Revive Israel, Egyptian David Demian of Watchmen for the Nations, and American Christian living full time in Israel, Rick Ridings of Succat Hallel in Jerusalem, and others: Sarah Singerman and Tal Haroni of the Revive Team,  Hany Boghossian of City River in Toronto,  Tabitha Lemaire, a worship musician also from Canada, Kathi Pelton of Inscribe Ministries in Oregon, and a Native American gentleman whose name I have not been able to track down yet.

Thousands gathered together in 73 nations to participate in the webinar
I hoped to get the link for post-webinar viewing in time to include here,
but I will include it in earliest Arrows once the link becomes available.

If there was anything that I personally needed for the New Year it was spiritual refreshing, and I sure got it in this 2-hour web conference event. I must confess, as someone who keeps on the news in order to pass it along to others, the news has really been getting me down. It feels overwhelming, doesn't it? So much bad news you begin to wonder, what is going to happen next? How is God bring His people to overcome the kinds of conditions that are stacking up against us higher and higher daily?

So I really needed to hear all the things that were presented by the prophetic gentleman and ladies who also had prophetic input in this Feast of Trumpets webinar. David Demian led off with telling everyone how we were entering a season where God was going to confront all systems in this year of 5780. He was going to confront all the systems to set His Bride free to worship Him. We know God has said He is going to shake all things that can be shaken and honestly, that sounds really scary, doesn't it? 

As I listened to Demian elaborate on what this means, for the first time I felt relief from the fear of that scripture on God shaking institutions. Demian was speaking to all the things in the news that have had me feeling overwhelmed by the degree of evil, sinful lawlessness that we are bombarded with in news every day. In one example he spoke about the networks of evil, like a spider's web, that God was going to shake up. He spoke of God making a such an obvious differentiation between black and white (good and evil) that there was no gray middle ground left for people to stand in undecided - it would be an obvious choice between the darkness and the Light, no uncommitted gray middle ground. 

These are good things. No matter what you think about President Trump, God has been using him to draw out and expose the hidden evils in the US government that we never had any idea were there is such huge numbers. To my way of thinking and not because Trump was even mentioned in this webinar, this is the kind of Divine exposing and shaking that God is going to do in all the institutions in the coming year.
Rick Ridings shared extensively about three visions he had between October 4th to November 1st, 2016 and which he believes point to what will begin to be fulfilled starting Rosh Hashana 5780, Sept 30, 2019. You can read the visions online at Succat Hallel website, Visions of Increasing Shaking in the Nations. The things coming in a nutshell: Will release living water into the spiritually driest places | Will bring about a period of confusion and tumult in the nations | Will accelerate the polarization of light and darkness, and permit new alignments | Will cause a release of Kingdom healing, miracles, and harvest.

Another critical symbolism to understand about the decade we have entered into — and we carried an article by Norma Sarvis a few weeks ago that describes 5780 in detail — we have gone from the 5770 decade of the 70's which revolved around seeing, to the decade of the 80's which revolves around declaring (read Norma's article to understand why I say that). The key though is NOW is the time to declare what God has shown and spoken. 

One of the things we did that was so important was taking communion together. The prayer was for the cleansing of our souls so we might be made ready to truly enter into the things coming. It was a holy time and I believe a great work was done in myself and the thousands in 60 nations who participated in the live webinar.
Personally I had a very freeing experience in taking the communion as Asher shared a word prior to it that my spirit latched onto big time. I am waiting for the link to be sent out because I failed to write down the scripture Asher was referencing about the communion, how the word "flesh" is really the soul - His soul was given in sacrifice to cleanse our souls.

As I have searched this morning for which verse Asher cited, I see it is a longstanding biblical idea, as in Leviticus 17:11, For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make an atonement for your souls upon the altar, since it is the lifeblood that makes atonement."

More than cleansing our flesh, it is the cleansing of our souls. Now as I took this communion, I pressed into that thinking to lay hold of the promise of cleansing of it. I have been oppressed for as long as I can remember by what I believe is a generational spirit, but I saw in this communion that it was a matter of understanding He specifically sacrificed His soul so my soul could be cleansed by faith. What freedom in an instant!

Recently Ron Cantor shared a teaching, "Revival can be Fatal without the Fear of the Lord" which is why I believe this communion time was really important to make us ready for the things that are coming.  In the description of the audio message is written, "We say we want revival, but when God draws close, the results can be fatal. Look at Lev. 10 and 1 Sam. 6. People died because they did not discern the holiness of God. Also in the New Testament. In the midst of Revival just a small lie was fatal to Ananias and Sapphira."
It is one thing to be excited to hear about the things that God intends to do and that we will be a part of, and another to begin to check ourselves to hear from God if we are ready or in need of cleansing. This is the fear of the Lord that Ananias and Sapphira did not have. We must be ready for the chaos and the glory that are coming.

 As Avner Boskey writes in his latest word, "If it's Jewish, it must be kosher!" But not so fast because he also writes: "To some Gentile believers, anything coming out of Israel or the Jewish people must automatically be ancient, revered, deeply spiritual and worthy of imitation. But a problem exists here: many Jewish traditions were established and made legally binding by those who rejected Yeshua’s Messiahship, the original Messianic Jewish apostolic leadership and the New Covenant teachings." This is a good word to all Christians who love God and love Israel, but are still having trouble figuring out what's God and what's man when it comes to Israel and the Jews. In this article, Morphing the Torah Avner takes on many points that have been troubling to many, starting first with the Jewish New Year of Rosh Hashanah.

Big news from the Tikkun Global Messianic Family which is taking another giant leap forward in its years old plan to train and raise up the next generation of ministry leaders within its organization. Many of those younger leaders have been operating in positions of greater responsibility but now many of the top leadership posts formerly held by the founders are being transitioned to the younger leaders. For example, Tikkun America is now to be presided over by Ben Juster. Guy Cohen will lead Tikkun Israel, which combines the congregations formerly overseen by Eitan Shishkoff and Asher Intrater. Ron Cantor will be taking on the role and authority as CEO of Tikkun International. There are lots more organizational restructuring details in the announcement by Asher Intrater, who adds: "So there is no confusion, I am still leading our worldwide family—Tikkun Global—along with the 'founding fathers' - Dan, Eitan and Paul. Ron will be overseeing the Tikkun International nonprofit. This next year will bring an even greater consolidation of the younger generation to lead our family network worldwide." 

Exciting to see such a strong structure for supporting all its ministries becoming reality, developed in the time-honored way of sons, fathers and grandfathers carrying forward a continuing spiritual vision: "First, to bring closer together the different streams of our ministry | Secondly, to set the strategic center of our cooperative ministries more clearly in Israel | Thirdly, to give more leadership authority to the next generation leaders." Over the next 90-day transition which will include closing the Maryland offices and opening a new office in Dallas, there are some short term financial challenges. "Your help is greatly appreciated. The time to 'favor Zion' really is at hand."

The Hasdey Yeshua congregation in Arad ministry letter is overflowing with thanksgiving this month: They thank you for praying for Israel's elections and ask that you please continue. Contrary to what we might think they say The religious divide was the main issue. They thank you for praying for their mayor (pray for him & his family to come to faith also!). They thank you for praying for their Bedouin outreach which has expanded to 4 different tribes, but it is a real spiritual battle to free from Islam.  Several other prayer issues they thank you for their congregation and revival in their city, plus they are adding the Arad Russian congregation to their prayer requests, as it had been so severely harassed by the ultra-orthodox that it temporarily disbanded. The congregants are quite elderly but now they've started up again in a location no so accessible to the troubling from the religious persecutors. 

Israel Pochtar sends this VIDEO on YouTube about a unique evangelism event we are organizing in Jerusalem, that you can be a part of. He also includes a teaching on the profound biblical significance of the Feast of Trumpets, and talks about the great opportunities for the Gospel during the Fall Feasts. " When we speak about God’s love and kindness, it is especially important to reflect that during the holidays, showing that kindness in action. A gift as small as $30 can help us bless one family with supplies for the holidays.  We’re grateful for your generous heart, for your loving prayers and the care you show the people of Israel through care and support of the work God has commissioned us."

Dan and Patty Juster, Restoration from Zion, send a report on their Toward Jerusalem Council II in Singapore that Dan says "exceeded our expectations. We were seeking from 40 to 70 key leaders from the churches of Asia.  We had 66.  They came from Korea, Japan, China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, and the South Pacific Islands.  Five team members from the International Leadership Council gave presentations with time for dialogue.  We met in a hotel in Singapore that is dedicated to prayer for Israel!"

"The Toward Jerusalem Council II project seeks to see the whole Church in all its streams in alignment with Israel and the restored Messianic Jewish community." As Patty writes, "Even though the world of nations may be vastly different in their agendas, culture and beliefs, they come together in a strong unity of purpose. They are aligned against Israel in their hatred and desire to destroy her.  So Israel becomes a unifying factor, both for the Church and for nations."

Pastor Najeeb and Elizabeth Atteih send a full ministry report of the outreach areas that they are given to - the Christian soldiers' home and their Heart to Heart ministry among the refugees especially in Jordan, but they know there is need spread in other countries like Armenia. Some of the experiences they are having with refugee Christians and non-Christians is heartbreaking — but they are committed to the call of God to minister Yeshua's love to these people in terrible living situations. First on their mind is the work they are doing with the Christian soldiers' home which has been given great favor from the IDF to help lone soldiers, and they have even been invited to conferences of Avigdor Liberman's party. In one they were actually asked to pray at the conference. But the money for the home is still tight and it is imperative they get a roof on one area which they need to raise about 167,000 NIS around 47,000 dollars to begin this final project which will complete the soldiers' home.

Chaim Malespin of the Aliyah Return Center sends this video greeting from Gallilee and a reminder about their amazing BBQ dinner: "Galileans from all walks of life will celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles in our Succah with a BBQ Feast." This event will cost, of course, but Chaim asks for help to be a blessing during a key biblical Jewish holiday also asks for prayers with them for this event!

Orna Grinman's latest blog post is Selichot. “Selichot” is a general name for the liturgy that focuses on the goodness of God, who forgives His creation for their sins.

Sally Shiff at the Kfar Saba HaMaayan congregation marks the Feast of Trumpets as the 13th year since God gave her a word to sell or give away all she had to move to Israel to serve Him as an ambassador of Yeshua Hamashiach (Jesus the Messiah). "This is what my life is all about, and why I am grateful that you are a part of my ministry; living life among my people, making a difference because of how Yeshua made a difference in my life and changed me forever." In 2 weeks, after 10 days of prayer culminating in a day of fasting (Yom Kippur) for the salvation of our nation and her people in her congregation, Sally travels to the USA visiting the east and west coast. Pray for her travels and Divine appointments.

Yet another engagement in the Bass family in Beer Sheva, Howard and Randi gathered with their family for Rosh Hashana write, "we received a video call from our daughter, Tamar, and her FIANCE, Ezra!  Ezra timed his proposal in Los Angeles to coincide with the beginning of the New Year evening Israel time. We all gave a shout of victory and joy! 

In other Yeshua's Inheritance congregational news, they were invited to a young adults discipleship program primarily geared for post-military believers. They were invited to Lech Lecha since many of our 'youth' were going to actively participating there, both in leading the worship for the whole conference, and for a testimony of God's calling on his life given by our son, Evan." They also held "a social gathering for our staff and volunteers in Nachalat Yeshua, to appreciate one another and to be encouraged in what the Holy Spirit is accomplishing among us in the congregation.  About 50 persons will be coming together.  When I speak of staff, it is not big:  me, a couple of other elders; a couple of deacons.  Only two of us are paid any salary (minimum wage).  All others are volunteers  in their service."  Howard writes about everyone contributing their gifts to the benefit of the whole congregation: " Without such bodily love for the Lord and for each other and for His purpose, we will not produce good and righteous fruit for God, nor be much of a light to those outside."

Also Ron Cantor gives an update of the PayPal problems reported last week: After a week, we have been able to transfer funds in smaller increments. This was after I submitted to them my 1040 from 2018. They said that wanted to confirm that "I was me", but I had submitted all the forms to them months ago and they never told me there was an issue. And I had to talk to so many people just to find one person who understood what the issue was. We should have all our funds removed from them by the end of this week and we are working on a better options. I appreciate all the prayer and advice.
