Shalom Partner and Friend of Israel,

On the evening of 22 September as the sun sets and the new day 23 September begins with the Feast of Rosh Hashanah – Trumpets the NEW Biblical Year 5786 (2025-2026) will begin! It is the 5^th Feast of the Lord and connected to the following two Feasts: Yom Kippur – Atonement (1-2 October) and Sukkoth – Tabernacles (6-14 October). Yeshua (Jesus) came to fulfil the first 4 (of 7) Feasts and will soon return to fulfil the final 3 Feasts!

In the Hebrew Alphabet the letter 6 is the letter “VAV” and symbolizes a “hook” or “nail” or “connector” – “to connect, tent peg, securing and joining i.e. to add to or attach! It acts like a “nail” that fixes two things together or like a “hook” that pulls something into place. As a conjunction prefix, it means “AND” of what was to come next! The number ‘6’ also reveals whether we are connected either to YHVH - God OR the beast/flesh. In Scripture, Vav connects Heaven to Earth - representing a connection between God and humanity. Yeshua (Jesus) is described as the ultimate “Vav,” linking people to the Father through His Sacrifice. Could the number ‘6’ denote the Day of the Lord at the End of the 6th Millennium? The number ‘6’ also represents the number of “MAN” – humankind, human effort and human leadership …and therefore Biblically connected to 666 and the Antichrist yet to be revealed!  

The Year 5786 – VAV, symbolizes a critical joining of alliances, decisions, and spiritual alliances being sealed by securing alignments; politically, spiritually and globally …a transition point like a hinge between Era’s moving deeper and closer into End-times timeline! The Year of VAV (6) points to the nailing down of Global alignments and Nations securing themselves into coalitions with “false peace plans” of unity coming together against Israel that will ultimately lead to God’s confrontation and judgement. It is the connection and is rapidly moving into place …just look at Europe with France, Britain, Canada, Australia, South Africa all acting together to create “false” Palestinian statehood. Yes, the number 6 – VAV is the final connection and is rapidly hardening into place. It is most certainly the number of “man” created on the 6^th Day of Creation. The bringing together of 666 is the mark of the End-time Beast power of Revelation. As such, it represents the very best system of governance that mankind can produce without God and under the constant influence of his chief adversary.

What lies ahead? We will see man-centred, human strength and effort with solutions to Global crisis with “peace” through GLOBAL unity and treaties and Israel will be the “epicentre.” The World Leaders will gather in their human strength and not God’s Divine truth as they form a Global Governance with a counterfeit connection laying the groundwork for the emergence of “the man of sin” – the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). Just as the “VAV connects and secures ...the spirit of Antichrist will seek “to nail” together a broken world under a false peace, preparing the stage for the FINAL rebellion. The number 666 in Revelation is the ultimate symbol of man exalting himself against Yahweh – God Himself with a counterfeit trinity of rebellion! “Let no one deceive you in any way, for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of sin is revealed.” – 2 Thessalonians 2:3. Scripture warns us what is to come after the Rapture (Harpazo) of the Bride of Christ – the true Church! We must keep watching and our lamps burning!

Truly, we are seeing another aspect of VAV (6) is “the HOOK” of Gog Magog. Here too will alliances form as they come against Israel. In Ezekiel 38:4, God declares that He will put “hooks” into the jaws of Gog and pull him towards Israel! The “hook” of God represents “pulling, connecting and securing” – one forcibly (judgement) and one spiritually “covenant or rebellion!” We cannot stop what God has put into motion! While the world looks to man for “connection” and “security” the actual connection between Heaven and Earth has been made at the Cross! The letter VAV reminds us of “the nails” that pieced Yeshua (Jesus Christ) and the bridge that was made between God and humanity through Christ’s Sacrifice. That is the only true Covenant that offers Eternal life – NOT through man’s futile solutions BUT only through the Blood of the Lamb (Mark 15:25)

Now look at this…Our Lord warned us that His Return in the Last Days Generation would be “like in the Days of Noah!” Noah was 600 years old when the FLOOD came upon the earth and he knew his timing exactly when to get into the ARK as the Lord had told him it would happen in 7 days’ time; “The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made. And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him!”- Genesis 7:1-5. You see we are NOT left without signs either and this generation is truly a privileged generation! It’s NOT by chance we are in the year 5786 (2025-2026) and the letter VAV representing the number 6.

The number 6 and its meaning are related to man and human weakness, the evils of the devil and the manifestation of sin... Man was created on day six of creation week. Men are appointed 6 days to labour and then they are commanded to rest on the 7th day (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset). A Hebrew slave had to serve 6 years before he could be released in the 7th year. 6-years were appointed for the land to be sown and harvested. The number is also associated with Satan in his temptation of Yeshua (Jesus).

The Lord was asked 6 times, most of the time by those who were self-righteous, to produce “a sign” to prove who He was. The Pharisees demanded “a sign!” Yeshua (Jesus) answered; “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the Prophet Jonah.  For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.  The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here.” - (Matthew 12:38-41, Mark 8:11).

Anyone that has been following our teachings of the Feasts of the Lord will know that we have a passion and hunger for knowing more …and over the years it has just been getting so much more exciting as we see Prophecy being fulfilled in our lifetimes. This is one of the most profound teachings that we have ever done on the Prophetic fulfilment of the Biblical New Year, which this year on September, 23-24^th (on Rosh Hashanah - Feast of Trumpets) …BUT this New Biblical Year; 5786 (2025-2026) there are so many Prophetic “signs” of  connections that lead us to believe that these truly are the last hours of the Last Days and WILL re-shape and transform every life and Nation on the earth as we transition forward. These upcoming appointed (Mo-ed) times are NOT random; they’re deeply Prophetic!

Now let’s look at what “signs” have occurred even just as recent as September in the Heavens and on the earth and are still to take place... (1) Signs in the Heavens - Sun, Moon, and Stars; Yeshua (Jesus) said: “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity…People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.” - Luke 21:25–26. We read in; Joel 2:31: “The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, BEFORE the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.”

On 7 September 2025 a total LUNAR Eclipse (Blood Moon) occurred and was visible to 85% of the Global population, making it the most watched Eclipse ever recorded! What’s more, the particulars of the Eclipse gave it a Prophetic overtone; (1) It occurred exactly 2-weeks ahead of the Feast of Trumpets. (2) It was visible from Israel beginning just after sunset!

(3) It was the last “harvest” Blood Moon visible in Isael until 2032. (4) It had a totality phase of 1 hour 23 minutes matching the date of the Feast of trumpets. (5) It reached maximum totality at 9:11 Jerusalem time, evoking the US’s most shocking terrorist attack date of 9/11. (6) It had a duration of 5-hours and 5 minutes in Israel (the number 5 signifies a period of “grace.” (7) It ended 5-minutes before midnight, the hour at which the “sleeping virgins” are awakened by a shout; “the bridegroom is coming!” - Matthew 25. (8) Additionally, in view of the Feast of Trumpets date 23 September, it is striking that the Blood Moon occurs exactly 23-weeks into the Biblical Year and 23-months into the Gaza war. This is significant, as the war has given rise to an international call for “Peace and Security” expected to peak at the UN 80^th General Assembly on 23 September (1 Thessalonians 5:2-3). It occurs 923-months (plus 3-days) from the first Feast of Trumpets observed in Modern Israel in 1948!

Adding to the Church-Age birth now 2,000 years ago… The Blood Moon that occurred on 7 September was visible from the birthplace of the Church – Jerusalem on a Sunday which is the first day of the week and occurred 3-months after the Feast of Pentecost (Shavuot) symbolizing the “out-pouring of the Holy Spirit” in the Last Days. “When the day of Pentecost came, Peter stood up and said, “This is what was spoken by the Prophet Joel: I will pour out my Spirit in those (last) days …. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord’” - Acts 2. Scripture says that the heavens speak to us; “The heavens declare the glory of God… day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge!”- Psalm 19. So could September’s Blood Moon be saying that “the Day of the Lord is at hand?”

Signs on Earth! Isn’t it just so amazing that US President Donald Trump is speaking to the whole world on Rosh Hashanah - Feast of Trumpets - 23 September at the UN General Assembly? The whole world will be gathered for the UN’s 80th General Assembly and Trump just so happen to be speaking on that day! Now look at this… why is the word TRUMP only in the New Testament twice and ONLY in the Rapture verses?  ^"For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the TRUMP of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17. And now look at this Scripture also from KJV: ^"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."- 1 Corinthians 51-52. These are the two main Rapture (Harpazo) verses so once again why is TRUMP mentioned in both instances? We find it so very interesting the TRUMP is speaking to the whole world on the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) and that his name just so happens to be in Scripture in the Rapture verses and he is the US President for this hour and time we are living in!

If the Rapture takes place on Rosh Hashanah – Feast of Trumpets 23 September 2025 we will say "Come Lord Yeshua (Jesus), Come!" Because we as true believers are longing for our Lord’s return for His Bride the Church (both Jew and Gentile believers) BUT if we reach October 01^st and nothing has changed then God has His perfect timing, and we continue to occupy until He comes for us! Yes, the Word of God says, "When that day and hour will come, no own knows – not the angels in heaven, not the Son, just the Father." – Matthew 24:36, Mark 13:32. However, this verse is a well-known Jewish idiom (saying) that refers to Rosh Hashanah – Feast of Trumpets. The exact, literal day or hour of the start of this Feast is NEVER known because this depends on the first sighting of the New Moon. Yom Teruah: The Day of the Trumpet blast: is the day when they blow the shofar 100 times at the marking or the sighting of the new moon and beginning of the 5^th (of the 7 Moedim) - Feast of the Lord – Rosh Hashanah as it is the only feast doesn’t have an exact timing. The Moed only begins when two witnesses report their sighting to the Sanhedrin.

The Jews celebrate what is supposed to be the first day of the 7^th month – Tishri (Leviticus 23:23-25) over a 2-day period because it is the only day that “no man knows the day or hour” …and for this reason Yom Teruah – Rosh Hashanah was and still is referred to the Feast as such. What the idiom; “no man knows the day or hour” - truly means from a Rabbinical Hebraic perspective is that it is “a figure of speech!” Yeshua (Jesus) was aware of this saying. He was most possibly also referring to the Galatian weddings of his time when the Father will say “Son go fetch your bride!” …and this normally happened at midnight! So, when our Heavenly Abba Father would say, “Son go fetch your Bride” we must be watching and waiting for Yeshua our Bridegroom too! This phrase “no man knows the day or hour” …also refers to the sanctification or setting apart - of the new moon. Without sanctification the Jews had no way of determining YHVH – Yahweh’s appointed Feast – Rosh Hashanah!

Now look at this! Yom Ha’Keseh; “The Hidden Day” – “The Day of Hiding” or “The Day of Concealment”… “Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the concealed time, on our feast day” – Psalm 81:3. Yom Ha’Keseh can be interpreted several different way; Firstly, it references the day when the moon is “just coming out of hiding,” in other words, a day of a concealed moon. Secondly, Satan is NOT given notice about the arrival of Yom Teruah – the Day of Judgement. A hidden day because it was hidden from Satan, the adversary, just as the Lord’s Resurrection of our Lord, Yeshua (Jesus) on the 3^rd -day was also hidden from his knowledge. By using this expression, “You do not know the day or the hour,” Yeshua may have been referencing both; Yom Teruah and Yom Ha’Keseh …at the “sod level” of understanding (meaning; secret of concealed); deepest level of understanding to whom hidden, mysterious treasures which are given to those whom Yahweh has called His own!

Psalms 81:3 calls for the trumpet to be sounded at specific times, particularly during the new moon and the full moon, which were significant periods in the Jewish Biblical Hebrew Calendar…. The FULL moon often symbolizes “fullness and completion” representing the culmination of the previous month’s work! The use of the “trumpet” served as a reminder inviting the community to gather and celebrate important Feasts of the Lord.

It signifies the importance of communal worship and connection with God. In Biblical times, the NEW moon marked the beginning of each month on God’s Calendar. It was and still is a time for thanksgiving and reflection!

On the 21 September a “Solar Eclipse” darkening the skies - exactly 2-weeks (7X7= 14 days) after the Lunar Eclipse of 7 September occurs in the year that Israel turned 77 years… Nothing is just coincidental! What if we told you that the “signs” in the heavens are not accidents of nature BUT are WARNINGS? Solar and lunar eclipses in the Bible show God’s power and rule over the world. They symbolize judgment and new beginnings. The Bible talks about solar and lunar eclipses as “signs” of God’s action. These events often happen before substantial changes or the End- times. Knowing about these Prophecy helps us see God’s power and rule. In the Bible, eclipses are linked to times of judgment or change. Revelation 6:12 talks about a huge earthquake and the sun and moon changing colour. This shows how God uses the sky to send us messages. The SOLAR Eclipse during Yeshua (Jesus) Crucifixion is a powerful example… during Christ’s Crucifixion, we read in the New Testament, something very similar happened. Mark 15: 32-33 says, “’Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe.’ Even those who were crucified with Him reviled Him. Now when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.” We also see this in both Matthew and Mark, here foretelling of some sort of eclipse; “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened.” - Matthew 24:29. Similar words are said in Mark 13:24. Many point this verse as “a sign” of the End-times and the Tribulation. During a Solar eclipse, the sun is significantly darkened and the light normally reflected by the moon is gone. What occurs during a Lunar Eclipse is the light normally reflected by the moon significantly decreases. So, it would make sense that there would be a connection between an Eclipse and the End-times, right?

As the sun is larger than the moon, the sun represents the Nations of the world and the moon represents the Nation of Israel, as their calendar months are based on the “cycle of the moon” …while the Gentile Nations of the world follow “the sun” for their calendar. So, it is believed that when there is a total solar eclipse, it is a warning to a specific Nation …or Nations depending on its path! Could this generation that witnessed Israel’s return 0n 14 May 1948 be now witnessing the starting and ending “signs” bookmarking a 7-year period of awful Tribulations that are in store for non-believers who are left behind on Earth when the Rapture – Harpazo occurs?

And September continues to be a month of “watching” because as true Bible believing Judea-Christian’s we need to stay focused and connected to our Saviour even as we see the days growing darker and the world more worldly and ungodly! With the Blood Moon taking place and Solar Eclipse of 21 September taking place just before the UN 80^th General Assembly vote on a Palestinian state on 23 September …God is warning Nations NOT to divide Jerusalem as it is His Land! In an unprecedented move the US banned Palestinian (PA) Authority, Abbas plus 80 other officials from attending the UN General Assembly! Abbas had planned to attend a Summit in the US hosted by none other than; France, Australia, Britain, Canada and Saudi Arabia with the main aim to recognize a Palestinian State in East Jerusalem. This was stopped by the US and with Abbas banned from the UNGA meeting remaining in the US BUT a symbolic segment on “so-called” Palestinian rights now scheduled for 22 September in Geneva Switzerland - organized by civil society coalitions and international legal experts. With the whole world gathering and 147 Nations attending they wanted to force this Palestinian State. Now what we see is that Trump would perhaps rather use this time to push the Abraham Accords Peace Deal. If that happens it will be according to Prophecy that when they say, “Peace and Safety” …and “Confirm a Covenant with many” (Daniel 8:23-25; 9:26-27; 11:36-39).

US President Trump has more persuasion over Israel than anyone in the whole world …as God has placed him and Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu in office at the same time (for a second time) for “a time such as this!” Watch this play out before our eyes! Trump has been pushing the Abraham Accords since his first term even as the US Embassy moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on 6 December 2017 to honour Israel’s 70^th Anniversary …NO president before Trump even dared or wanted to do this for Israel! Trump is truly a friend of Israel. So, be amazed again that Trump was also scheduled to speak at the UN on 23 September 2025 …on the very day of the Feast of Trumpets when much evidence provides proof of the Rapture …and that this could be the year? Time will tell!

The UN 80^th General Assembly their Agenda 2030 will be one of the main topics …as it is man-centred solutions to Global crisis …and so very possibly laying the groundwork for "the man of sin" – Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). Just as VAV connects and secures, the spirit of Antichrist seeks to nail together a broken world, false peace, preparing the stage for man’s FINAL rebellion. The number 666 in Revelation is the ultimate symbol of man exalting himself against YHVH – Yaweh God. We see the "hook" of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38:4 as the jaws of Gog being pulled into war with Israel! We are getting close!

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,
