Jerusalem, Israel
PRAYER UPDATE -- SEPTEMBER 20, 2025
Israel and the Nations
As of this writing, Jews in Israel and throughout the world, are in a season of repentance. For many Jewish people, personal repentance began a month ago. It will be extended to national repentance on Yom Kippur. This year, that Day of Atonement falls on the eve of Wednesday, October 1, 2025, on the Gregorian calendar. (From sunset on Tishrei 9 to sunset on Tishrei 10, on the Hebrew calendar).
Coming up even sooner, the eve of September 22, 2025, marks the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Teruah. It is also when Jews celebrate Rosh Hashanah, and greet each other with "Shana Tovah," Happy New Year. Biblically, it is not the new year, but it is a traditional time of remembering the new year of the world...
Every holiday, on the Hebrew calendar, begins the eve before the day. So, this year, on Elul 29, at sunset, Jews will be in synagogues and in their homes, bringing in Tishri 1, and the world year of 5786.
Then, the holiday commences, this year, on September 23, 2025, with the New Moon, Rosh Chodesh.
Of prophetic significance is that one year on the Hebrew calendar from this Feast of Trumpets, there will be a convergence affecting the United States.
The eve of the Feast of Trumpets in 2026, falls on the 25th memorial anniversary of 9/11.
Next year, the Feast of Trumpets begins on the eve of September 11, Elul 29, with the official marking of Tishrei 1, 5787, starting that evening.
The 1st day of the holiday, will be celebrated on September 12, 2026.
From Trumpets to Trumpets, the blowing of the shofar is meant to wake up the people to repent, not just a month before; nor just during the 10 Days of Awe towards Yom Kippur; but, until the Lord hears our cries for our nations. is meant to wake up the people to repent, not just but until the Lord hears our cries for our two nations
Significant is 2 Chronicles 7:14 in this coming year of 5786 to 5787: "If My people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and heal their land."
Is it possible that we can focus on this repentance and the healing of our lands, in a holy alliance between us and the Lord, and His beloved people?
