To every thing there is a season; and a time to every purpose under heaven (Proverbs 3:1).

Did you know there is a new season dawning within the Body of Messiah that is brimming with life and great expectation for major revival?

From the time of God’s call to Abram, His salvation plans and promises for all mankind have centered upon His chosen people, the Jewish people (Genesis 12:2,3). Therefore, it is wise for all God’s children to keep a close, prayerful watch on what is happening with His chosen people.

This new season centers on what has taken place in our generation with the Jewish people. I was born in 1948, the same year that Israel was re-established as the Jewish nation. The Jewish people’s return to their homeland after an 1800-year absence was nothing less than astonishing. Never has a set of events like this occurred over the entire course of human history. Here was the very early sign of the approaching dawn of this momentous new season.

Significant stirrings which ushered in this season began about thirty years ago. The Jewish remnant, who believed that Yeshua was their Messiah, experienced a heart’s desire to live for God in the context of their identity and irrevocable calling as Jews (Romans 11:29). Just as the Jewish people had been without their homeland for 1800 years, Jewish believers, living as Jews, had been missing from the Body of Messiah for about 1800 years. It was around 1970 that we began to find these Jewish messianic believers all over the world recognizing their rightful place in the Body of Messiah again.

…..for such a time as this….(Esther 4:14)

Eliphaz, in the Book of Job, declares that God does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number. God’s ways and thoughts are so much higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9). We may not comprehend all that is happening, but right now many believers all over the world are sensing something awesome is about to happen. In God’s providence and timetable, the ongoing fulfillment of His plans and purposes are deeply connected to Jewish and Gentile believers coming together as one (Ephesians 2:14-16). How amazing, when we stop to consider, that over the last 1800 years it has not even been possible for Jewish and Gentile believers in Messiah Yeshua to become one in the manner that our Lord specifically requests in His prayer to the Father. Indeed, now we are living in such a time to see this oneness becoming manifest in the Body of Messiah!

In Queen Esther’s day, her very life and the lives of all the Jewish people depended on her carrying out G-d’s plan. Spiritually, we wonder how crucial the coming together of Jewish and Gentile believers in Messiah Yeshua might be to God’s plan in our day.

Although none of us can say we fully know all His ways, we do understand much of His Word. We especially know Yeshua’s final prayer to the Father. Soon before He willingly offers Himself up for all mankind, Yeshua asks this of His Father in heaven: “…that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one…” (John 17:21,22).

Dear brothers and sisters, it is because Yeshua has given us His glory so we may be one, that we strongly believe there is a new season ready to break through the dawn within the Body of Messiah, brimming with life for major revival. We trust God is preparing us all to listen clearly, trust Him more and obey Him fully in becoming one.
