Shalom Partner and Friend of Israel,

We are currently in the Decade of "PEY" (2020-2029) and the current NEW Biblical Year 5785 which represents "HEY" in the Hebrew Alphabet …which began on the "Feast of Rosh HaShanah" (Trumpets) 04^th October, 2024 - and will continue until 23^rd-24^th September 2025!

There is great importance of understanding the Biblical Hebrew Calendar in contrast with the Gregorian Calendar as this is how God speaks differently to the Nations, and His Covenant people – Israel, through celestial markers like the "sun and the moon." The Gregorian Calendar of Gentile Nations is based upon the SUN and always seen Biblically as "masculine." However, 10 days were missing as the Julian Calendar at the Council of Nicaea in 325AD (based upon Catholic Church) flawed as it was, remained the official Calendar of the Christian Church and later became accepted as the Gregorian Calendar in 1752AD, spreading the around the globe. God’s Calendar - the Hebrew Calendar of Israel is always Biblically based upon the MOON and seen as "feminine" …having a 28-Day "cycle" for the "New Moon" …and can be compared with woman menstrual cycles every 28 days! And, the number 28 throughout the Bible represents "Times and Seasons" – "Mo’ed!"

Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again, there is nothing new under the sun."

Since the beginning of time, and NO matter where in history we look, and it's recorded throughout the Bible, there is a very particular and specific pattern that occurs throughout every cycle that can be observed. There is an "allotted time period," usually within 7 to 10 years. Ancient Israel once operated on a 7-Year Calendar cycle in a period of 7 sets until a Jubilee occurs or the 50^th-Year …and then it starts over. This is the basis of the ENTIRE Prophetic Timeline and is where we actually get Daniel's 70-week Prophecy. Although Israel no longer fully observes this system and the Jubilee, it does NOT change the fact that God still uses it because the Bible tells us that God does NOT change!

Within this allotted time period or cycle, a specific Prophetic pattern can also be observed, and it’s found in every single Prophetic Book of the Bible…. First, a warning, or a blessing is given to the people along with several "signs" and official decrees from God contingent upon their obedience to God. Secondly, in the instance of a warning where sin is present, "a judgment or a decree" is pronounced over the people, and they are given an allotted time to repent. Next, the judgment usually occurs in the form of; plague, famine, the sword, and war. Lastly, is the promise, the hope, the blessing, the forgiveness, and salvation. This pattern has NEVER changed and repeats itself repeatedly, regardless of Nation or "season." To understand the coming year 5785 (2024-2025), we need to re-cap what has occurred so far in these past four years. As this will give us the context of what is occurring in this current cycle …and will help us better appreciate the opportunities approaching this New Biblical Year.

Let’s look back together… God created the capacity for words and language and since we are in the middle of the 80 Decade; 5780-5789 (2020-2029) …let’s fist look again at what this decade is about? The Hebrew letter for "80" is "PEY" (or PEH) and is the pictorial Hebrew word for "MOUTH" …and so the "Word of God" is paramount in this season!! This 80 Decade can be said to be a time of "awakening an awareness" …as we have seen so much taking place in our world only just recently. This decade of PEY is a time of "the mouth/word/ speech/breath/voice" and "declaration" of God’s Word …over ourselves, our Families, our Churches, our Nations, etc. What we declare with our "mouths," what we speak, what we say, will be KEY for VICTORY and for advancing the Kingdom! We are NOT called to be SILENT! "You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So, light will shine on your ways" - Job 22:28. 5785 will be a time for the Holy Spirit – "the breath" of Abba, Father Himself. Speak Salvation to the unsaved!

What happened in 5789 - 2020? In January 2020, this word "mouth" would almost immediately come to pass as the new decade began with the Hebrew Alphabet word; PEY! The U.S. proposed "a two-state solution" that would have divided Israel, nearly giving 70% of Judea to the Palestinians. This act was followed by the COVID-19 plan-demic, plague that spread through the "mouth," and Globalist world leaders through the W.H.O forced the wearing of "masks" …and the Media "silencing" those brave enough to speak against Global tyranny. God's judgment for the attempted division of Israel! "On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it." – Zechariah 12:3. America also witnessed a loss of power and leadership during the 2020 US Presidential Elections, including the temporary loss of leadership in Israel concerning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Our world had begun to change drastically!

What happened in 5781 (2021)? The 21st Hebrew Alphabet is the letter "SHIN," meaning "teeth" is an extension of the "mouth" …and the significance of this letter is symbolized by a continuation of God’s Judgments from 2020, symbolizing the "mouth" and continuing God’s Divine Judgment. There were Covid-19 forced mandates, businesses closed, millions lost their jobs, massive government spending, which led to historic inflations. This affected the entire world! War broke out with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which is still persistent today. Therefore, in 5781, the theme of "Judgment" was carried on through various Global challenges! There was NO end in sight for Covid!

What happened in 5782 (2022)? The 2^nd letter of the Hebrew alphabet is the letter ‘BET’ which not only symbolizes "a house" but also symbolizes "division." In addition to the letter "BET" the 22nd Hebrew letter is the letter "TAV" which means "To Mark, To symbolize, To sign or signal, and an omen." On 8 April, 2024, we, in fact, witnessed an incredible "Solar Eclipse" over America, which, in conjunction with the 2017 Eclipse, placed "a giant TAV or X" right across America, perhaps conveying a warning to America?

What happened in 5783 (2023)? The 3^rd letter in the Hebrew alphabet is the letter "Gimmel" symbolizing a "camel" - "humility and discipline" coming from the root word (Gamal) meaning; "to deal out to, give, or wean," indicating that sharing can lead to either "blessing or judgment." War continues to persist between Russia and Ukraine. And, on the 07^th October, 2023 - the most brutal and savage attack NOT since the Holocaust happened on innocent Israeli civilians enjoying the 8^th Day / Final Day of the Feast of Tabernacles! Hamas Palestinian terrorists from Gaza supported by Iran orchestrated and planned this demonic attack and war broke out immediately on the following day and continues on today but this time has spread to Lebanon in the North with Hezbollah joining with other Iranian proxies against Israel. Antisemitism increased and is on the rise as Nations sympathise with Israel’s enemies …who by the way are also God’s enemies! On the 29^th December, 2023 SOUTH AFRICA had the audacity to take Israel to the ICJ Courts in Hague over a "so-called genocide" of Palestinian people. Israel is literally in a war that was started by Iran and is merely fighting for survival of their land and people.

What happened in 5784 (2024)? The 4^th letter is "Dalet" and symbolizes "a DOOR." The number 4 also symbolizes; “a transition period,” just as one walks through a door from one room to another …but in this case, from one "Prophetic season" into the next, connecting us to the End-times. It also symbolizes "time," just as the sun and moon (which mark our Calendar systems) were Created by God almighty on the 4^th day! War continues to persist between Russia and Ukraine. In this particular year, we witnessed several major "KEY events" leading us into End-times; massive tragedies continue throughout Israel as the war progresses on. And, a 2-State-Solution between Israel and the Palestinians reveals its flaws! The end of the “petrodollar system” between the United States and Saudi Arabia …potentially setting the stage for a “Global collapse” of the US Dollar Reserve Currency, which would open the door for the Globalists - "Digital Global Currency."

These years of the PEY Decade so far reflect judgment due to actions against God's Word and the Nations desire of "dividing" Israel…

The patterns observed are NOT just historical coincidences but carry profound Prophetic significance, pointing toward "divine messages and warnings." Now we are in the 5^th Year of the "PEY" Decade of "HEY" and as we continue to study "what lies ahead?" Prophetically, we must remember in 5785 that God’s Grace is; "Grace upon Grace"

When God speaks to the Nations its always through the "SUN" and to Israel it’s through the "MOON" And, when God speaks to His Covenant people it’s through the "STARS" There are 3 different peoples; The (1) Nations, (2) Israel and the Jews as God has an "Eternal Covenant" with Israel …and, (3) the Church which represents "Jew and Gentile believers! Only through Yeshua (Jesus) can we have Salvation! It does NOT mean that Israel does not need to be saved …and it does NOT mean that the Church has replaced Israel as that is called "replacement theology" which is NOT of God but demonic! When Christ comes back, Yeshua – Jesus Christ was NOT Catholic even though He was Crucified and placed to die on a Roman Cross. NOR was He born Palestinian – Islam did NOT even exist until the 6^th Century AD! Yeshua was born 2,000 Years ago and as a Jew, was circumcised on the 8^th Day, lived as a Jew, attended the Synagogue as a Jew …and died as the "King of the JEWS! Israel is the ONLY Nation that God calls His own and says He is KING over!

Israel is the epicentre of the world… and, God has set His "times" accordingly through "signs" and "seasons" and what Israel ought to do! We as Gentiles MUST respect God’s Biblical Word, the Bible and His End-time plans for mankind lie with Israel. You see, though thankfully, the Jews are "the keepers" of the Feasts …they are actually for ALL as they are called; "The Feasts of the Lord!"

Yeshua – Jesus Christ was NOT Catholic even though He was Crucified and placed to die on a Roman Cross. NOR was He born Palestinian – Islam did NOT even exist until the 6^th Century AD! Yeshua was born 2,000 Years ago and as a Jew, was circumcised on the 8^th Day, lived as a Jew, attended the Synagogue as a Jew …and died as the "King of the JEWS! Israel is the ONLY Nation that God calls His own and says He is KING over! That’s why Pray4Zion WILL always stand with ISRAEL as it’s a part of "Kingdom" living. Israel’s God is our God too! We at Pray4Zion and Partners will always support God’s people NO matter how hard it has become to do so and even as the Nations turn their backs upon God Land and people - Israel!

For any believer or those who do NOT like or stand with Israel is "racism" …and they need to get over this as our Jewish Messiah, Lord Yeshua is soon returning first FOR His true Church in the Rapture …and then again WITH His Church at His Second Coming to PROTECT His Jewish Brethren. Yes, there are Messianic believers in Israel today and they are witnessing to their brethren about Yeshua their Messiah …and these Messianic believers in Israel WILL be Raptured together with the Church as they are part of the TRUE Believers …and "One New Man" – "Jew and Gentile" (Ephesians 2:15). So, Christ WILL be coming back with the Church after the Rapture BUT this time He is returning to "Redeem" those left behind and to destroy the enemies of Israel! It reminds us of the End-times Scripture in Revelation 6:12-17. Who will be able to stand? The earth beholds its Creator, and shakes in His presence. It shakes NOT only because God is present, but because "God speaks!" In these Last Days we need FAITH more than ever – the Faith of God and His Word!

In Hebrew tradition, the letter "Hey" - the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is often used as an abbreviation for God's Name in Hebrew, as the letter Hey is the first letter of the word YHVH = "Yahweh" which is one of the Hebrew names of God.

As we look at this New Year 5785 (2025) and add 5+7+8+5 = 25 we come to a very significant double 5 and that is; 5 squared (5X5=25). The Name YHVH (Yahweh) the Name  of God Almighty Himself and has 2 "Hey’s" (or 2X5) and is such an interesting name as it means; "I am the breath of God." So, now let’s try it! Take a deep breath and say; "Yah" …then breath out and say "Weh." God is the breath of life! When we are born, we take a deep breath in and live …BUT when we die, we breath out life! Did you know that we cannot say the Hebrew word HEY without breathing out? The big part of the Number 5 has to do with "Repentance and Grace!" God gives us the "GRACE" to overcome something we unable to do ourselves and literally we MUST return to the "5" – the "Hey" – "the Grace of God." Truly we are living in the Days of Noah and we need to have God’s favour just like Noah had in his time even though the world around him was wicked; "But, Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." – Genesis 6:8.

When God changed Abraham’s name from Abram (Genesis 17:5) and Sarah’s name from Sarai (Genesis 17:15) – God added the letter "Hey" to their names and literally took the two Hey’s from His own Name YHVH and made them "to be "fruitful and multiply! So, if we want to learn the lesson from Abraham and Sarah and go from being unfruitful to fruitful even in these Last Days, we need to stay focused during this very Prophetic Year 5785 (double 5 = double grace). Abraham is the number 85 in the Strong’s Concordance coinciding with the 85 in this New Biblical Year. Nothing is coincidence! In these difficult times of today …we need God’s GRACE more now than ever …and, more than we ever can realise we MUST stand with ISRAEL – God’s Land and people NO matter what the world says! If we have FAITH, we have the "seed of Abraham" too!

The Year of HEY 5785 (2025) is also seen as a year to "look or behold"…The Hebrew Language reads from right to left so that the first word is the one on the right and the last one is that on the left. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew Alphabet and every Hebrew (Alef-Bet) Alphabet letter has a numerical value - (male or female): Alef (1), Bet (2), Gimel (3), Dalet (4), Hey (5), Vav (6), Zayin (7), Chet (8), Tet (9), Yod (10), Kaf (20), Lamed (30), Mem (40), Nun (50), Samech (60), Ayin (70), Peh (80), Tsade (90), Kopf (100), Resh (200), Shin (300) and Tav (400). All these Numbers and letters have Prophetic meanings – just as the 7 Feasts of the Lord are connected to Christ. The first 4 Feasts of the Lord are fulfilled with His first Coming; Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits …followed by; Pentecost (the coming of the Holy Spirit and the birth of Church) – the Last 3 are NOT yet fulfilled; Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles. BUT we believe we living in the times where we will see ALL being fulfilled!

God SPOKE all of Creation into being with "WORDS" - which are formed with letters… Each aspect of Creation was called into being with "words from God," …and today we speak of the "DNA language" that runs through Creation. God NOT only gave us "His word in Bible Scriptures," BUT "His Word made flesh," who dwelt among us." And in Hebrews 1:3 we see that; "The Son (Yeshua) is "the radiance" of God’s Glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining ALL things by His powerful Word!"

Only humanity was created in the "image of God" and with that, the POWER of "creative speech." Words can create and so, words give us power to change things, to communicate, to form relationships, connections, and to develop our world in a way that the rest of creation is unable to. This gift also gives us the blessing of communicating with God. We can read God’s Word, we can hear Him, and we can speak to Him in prayer. Language and letters are gifts that help us to relate to our Creator! Interestingly enough, the Hebrew word for "inanimate matter" means; "mute" or "silent" which gives the impression that the capacity to speak is there, but just repressed! It made us think of the "Triumphal Entry" when people cheered Yeshua coming into Jerusalem BUT the Pharisees told the Lord to shut them up!   "I tell you," Jesus replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out!" - Luke 19:40.

We know that ALL Creation is groaning for redemption - and who knows whether plants and rocks will also burst into praise one glorious day?

ALL creation is commanded to lift its voice… “Sing for joy, you heavens, for the LORD has done this; shout aloud, you earth beneath. Burst into song, you mountains, you forests and all your trees, for the LORD has redeemed Jacob, he displays his glory in Israel.” and Psalm 92:12 says “Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.” - Isaiah 44:23.

In the beginning Almighty God Yahweh Created "Alef / Tav" – the beginning and the end and TIME itself!  Time exists BUT only because God made it so! Everything has a beginning and an end, and in-between is HIS story. God alone knows how it all really began, and He alone knows how He reconciles ALL things to Himself at the end. He has told us a lot about "the beginning and the end" …but they are some of the hardest parts of the Bible for us limited human beings to grapple with …but God is NOT struggling to grapple with these weighty issues as they are firmly within His grasp and His timing. He wrote each day before one of them came to be. He is in NO doubt at all about how the world came to be …or what will happen in the Last Days or "End-times" OR on and after Judgement Day. 

Almighty God who always has been, and who always will be, holds the KEYS of ETERNITY! God is the author of TIME... He is the Ancient of Days and He has power over "life and death" …and He knows very well that this fallen and broken earth is not all that there is. God has planned so much more…AND, we know from His Word that things WILL get much worse before He wraps ALL Creation up "like a scroll" and brings in the NEW Heavens and the NEW Earth. Daniel is told by God of things that will come to pass in the last Days; “There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people - everyone whose name is found written in the book - will be delivered.Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.  But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end..” – Daniel 12:1-4.

So, NO matter what lies ahead in this coming 5785 (2025) Prophetic Year always know that God is in control! After all, the Bible contains strong warnings about the END of the "age of man." It describes a time of world WAR and suffering just prior to the arrival of the Messiah, "a time of trouble, such as NEVER was since there was a nation even to that same time" (Daniel 12:1; Jeremiah 30:7). In fact, so great is the level of Prophesied fiery destruction, that were it not for the Messiah’s Coming, there would be "no flesh saved alive." The 1^st Century historian Josephus himself noted that there are two Prophesied worldwide destructions; one, "by the violence and quantity of water" (Noah’s Flood) …and another, "by the force of fire" (Antiquities 1.2.3).

The Number 5; Chamesh (m) Chameeshah (f)… and 5^th letter in the Hebrew Alef-Bet (Alphabet) is "HEY" and its numerical value is (Chamesh) 5. It has a "pictographic" meaning; "breath, air, spirit, femininity, and behold (to make known)." On day 5^th  of Creation, the birds and fish were created. They move fast and carry "seed" throughout the whole earth during their migrations! Humans are "made "in the image of God" …and thus anointed to carry "God’s Seed" throughout the earth, to be "fruitful and multiply" and fill the earth. Believers in Yeshua (Jesus Christ) are also filled with the "Holy Spirit" to take the Word of God and the Gospel of Salvation throughout the earth. You see, we have to live in a  Biblical "spiritual time" BUT in an "unsaved or unwise world" who don’t understand this …OR even want to understand the Bible! Truly we are living in very Prophetic times and LAST hour and must keep be aware of the times!

Five is also associated with Prayers and being Anointed, as with Incense and with "Anointing Oil." This indicates that "anointment and prayer" are POWERFUL. Both define and declare YHWH - God’s authority – gifts and callings of the 5-Fold Ministry as well as God’s favour, direction, purpose, and will. They release a sweet fragrance! 5 also indicates unity. Notice how perfectly synchronized the movements of "flocks of birds" flying in unison in the "shamayim" = heavens. And, how "schools of fish" are in the oceans/rivers "the mayim" = waters. The Hebrew words correspond; water (mayim) (rain) comes from the heavens (shamayim). Though they are many, they flow as one fluid Body in unison. This cannot be accomplished if there isn’t a love for others. Without love, there is NO unity! "God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him." - 1 John 4:16.

The number 5 symbolizes; God’s Grace, His Goodness and His Favour toward mankind and is mentioned 318 times in Scripture… 5 is the number of GRACE, and multiplied by itself, is 25, is; "GRACE upon GRACE" (John 1:16). It is composed of number 20 – meaning "REDEMPTION" and the number 5 meaning; "GRACE" and 5X5 = 25 - "Grace upon Grace; "And the Word became flesh… full of grace and truth… and His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Yeshua," John 1:14.

We most sincerely believe that God WILL bless you for your faithfulness and love for His land and chosen people. God’s Word is true! He IS watching to see how the Nations are treating His people. God will have mercy on Israel through Gentile believers acting as mediators towards them. This is one of the most amazing revelations ever given to the Church – an opportunity to do something that carries the highest priority in the heart of God. Yet, sadly, so few have seen the potential and the rewards of serving God in this manner - as agents of mercy to Israel and the Jewish people! Israel was and still is despised today and a despised Nation continually turning away from God …BUT nothing ever altered the purpose of God for that Nation. The "despised element" is always a noticeable element in the purpose of God. When the Saviour of the world came, He came of that "despised Nation" (and just like Israel) He Himself was "…despised and rejected by men. "And there is that despised element; "…things that are despised God has chosen," - 1 Corinthians 1:28.

We hope that you enjoy and become more informed by our work. We serve an awesome God and we are humbled by this opportunity to bring you this information. 

With Shalom to you and your family always,
