An 'Opportunity Not to Be Missed'

16 Tishrei 5787
1st Day Chol Hamoed Sukkot
Moadim l'Simchah! 

(If you are just now hearing about this, see here, here and here.)

Please take eleven and a half minutes from your 24-hour day to familiarize yourself with the facts behind what is being proclaimed as a historic event in our history.  And please pass it on to other Jews so we can match our prayers against our enemies' idolatrous ones and win the victory over them.  HKB"H's honor and the honor of Holy Yerushalayim and Har Habayit are at stake!!!

This title refers to the Chr*stians' reference to the Simchat Torah Massacre of October 7, 2023 as a Heaven-sent "opportunity" to reach the Jews as never before.  Our vulnerability is being celebrated and exploited.

Global Prayer Event - October 7, 2026:
An 'Opportunity Not to Be Missed'

GoguMagog Is a Global Event

13 Tishrei 5787

Just like we were attacked from several different directions by Yishmael (Hamas, Hizballah, Houthis, Iran, etc.) on Simchat Torah 2023, the same is true of Eisav and they do it every single year at Sukkot.  

In fact, in 2023 just two days before the Simchat Torah Massacre, a huge Chr*stian prayer service had been held in the same area where Nova took place and where the Arabs broke through from Gaza.

Christians, Jews unite to plant seeds where terror left ash

(Gemini)  On Thursday, October 5, 2023—just two days before the Hamas assault—around 700 Christian pilgrims led by the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) held a solidarity gathering and tree-planting ceremony in the Be'eri Forest.

Event Details

Date: October 5, 2023 (two days before October 7).

Location: The Be'eri Forest, located right next to the Gaza security fence. 

Organizers: The ICEJ in partnership with the Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF).

Purpose: Dedicating a newly rehabilitated 126-acre plot named the "Christian Embassy Nature Park" to replace trees burned by earlier arson balloons from Gaza.

Activities: Pilgrims met with local border community leaders, received security briefings, and prayed for the region's safety and peace.

...reports and statements from the organizers confirm that prayers were a central part of the gathering in the Be'eri Forest.

While the main event was designated as a solidarity gathering and tree-planting ceremony, it explicitly incorporated prayer elements:

Prayers for Peace and Safety: According to the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) Event Summary, the hundreds of pilgrims who traveled to the Gaza border area used the opportunity to stand in solidarity and pray directly for the protection, safety, and peace of the surrounding Israeli communities.

Part of a Larger Prayer Campaign: The ICEJ explicitly links the Be'eri forest gathering to their broader prayer movement. Directly after returning to Jerusalem from the Gaza border that Thursday evening, the pilgrims held an official Healing Service, followed by an all-day Day of Prayer on Friday, October 6—the day before the attack began.

Reflection from Leadership: In subsequent interviews, such as a retrospective published by The Media Line, ICEJ leadership reflected on how surreal it was to have been standing on those exact roads praying with local residents just 48 hours before the massacre took place, noting that the experience immediately catalyzed a massive, ongoing global prayer initiative.

Guest report on the various different groups of Chr*stians (representatives of the 70 nations) who are coming to "love-bomb" Jerusalem and proclaim their 'savior' as king over it.

The Chr*stians, and some Jews, say they are fulfilling this prophecy…

(Zechariah 14:16)   "And it will come to pass that everyone left of the nations who came up against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to prostrate himself to the King, the Lord of Hosts, and to celebrate the festival of Tabernacles."  

But the Chr*stians are coming to Jerusalem during Sukkot to worship [and raise up] their king (and their god) Yeshu, not HASHEM.

On Friday [tomorrow!], thousands of Chr*stians will arrive to worship their false god and declare him king over Jerusalem over the next 10 days.

• September 25 - October 2

• GO Nations tour and summit

• Promo video 

• September 25 - 30 ICEJ feast, 2026 promo.

• September 27 Israeli night  [specifically Jews are invited]

• September 28 parade

• [It may be] because of the construction now in the center of town that the parade has been confined to Gan Sacher/Rose Garden area in recent years.

• Video from last year (at 20:00 mins there is a banner with a lion that says "Israel and South Korea are one"

• September 28 - October 9

• Eagles Wings Watchman’s Tour which includes the DPPJ and Awake Jerusalem

• October 3

• Awake Jerusalem - Stearns worship concert at Migdal David

• Promo

• FYI, Paul Wilbur and Emmanuel Roro will be some of the "worship" leaders. Both are "messianic Jews" so you will have Jew and gentile (one new man) worshiping yeshu together in Jerusalem.

• October 4

• Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem  (Robert Stearns/Eagles Wings)

• 2018 clip of DPPJ at Haas Promenade Eddie James praising and worshiping Yeshu as god [in the presence of Jewish invited guests].

This is an aspect of the nations coming up to conquer - the spiritual aspect of GoguMagog. They say it explicitly that they are fighting a spiritual war to claim Jerusalem for their king - 'Gee-Zeus'.

Instead of this being the fulfillment of the Zechariah prophecy, it is the precursor event for which they will do teshuvah in the days of the fulfillment of this prophecy!!

Just like they came up to Jerusalem at Sukkot time to conquer Jerusalem and rule over us in the name of their false god, in the day of its actual fulfillment, the survivors will do penance for that sin by coming up (on pain of punishment if they refuse) to admit their defeat, submit to Jewish rule and pledge loyalty to the King of Kings, the true Master of the Universe, Hakadosh Baruch Hu!!!!!

Radak (Rabbi David Kimhi): An Act of Submission and Apology

The 12th-century commentator Radak notes that the pilgrimage is a literal act of submission. He explains that the survivors of the nations who previously waged war against Jerusalem will travel to the city specifically to bow down and prostrate themselves before God. In his view, performing the rituals of Sukkot in Jerusalem is the ultimate token of their acceptance of God’s absolute rule over the cosmos and a public apology for their past rebellion.    (Gemini)  

May we merit to see the true and actual fulfillment of this prophecy with our own eyes, speedily and in our days!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Shabbat Shalom

Another Attack Is Coming - Oct. 7th, 2026

13 Tishrei 5787 

Why do the nations have to come up at Sukkot to pay obeisance to the Messianic King?  As penance for their countries gathering against Yerushalayim at the same time of year - for GoguMagog.

Oct. 7, 2023 was about Yishmael.  This Oct. 7, 2026 is Eisav.  True to form, Yishmael attacks us physically while Eisav comes for our very souls.

If you are just now hearing about this, see here, here and here.

The Chr*stians have set this date for a spiritual attack at the holiest place to the Jewish people - the Temple Mount.  Not on top of it, but at its base.  The following video demonstrates by its many and varied shots of the Western Wall that this is the main area of attack.

While watching, I want to urge you also to pay special attention to the overall plan which can be deduced from the contributions made by US Ambassador Mike Huckabee...

• "...on "Oct. 7th it wasn't just Jews, it was people from 40 countries,...." 

• "For years, the Western Wall has served as a magnet, not just for the Jewish people, but for all people of all faiths." 

Global Prayer Event for Israel | October 7, 2026

Notice the song at the end.  I'm told it was written especially for this event:
  "The Whole World Sings Together"

The message is very clear - Jews are not special, not kadosh, no different than anyone else.  We must come together as one with them if we want to be at peace with them.  

Things You Need to Know
About The Global Prayer Event

• According to the organizers, world redemption depends on the unity between Chr*stians and Jews.

• The "Rabbi of the Kotel" is one of the good guys because he made this possible.

• This production is going to be much more desecrating of the site than anyone understands at this point.

• As the woman explains it, this is all about convincing the Jews to give credit to 'Gee-zeus'.

• And finally, they have already determined that any Jew who stands against this asssault on our holy place and tries to prevent it is from the "dark" side; inspired by the Satan.

I hope to play some small part in helping to thwart this evil scheme and I pray with all my heart for success in shutting it down.  Pray for it!!!!  Please pray for it!!!!  And if you can be there with really loud noisemakers...

Winds of Change Are Beginning to Blow

11 Tishrei 5787 

The "T"-word is being heard across the Land.  T-R-A-N-S-F-E-R!!  It will start in Gaza, but it won't end there.  (Shades of Rabbi Kahane)

Hillel Biton Rosen, a Channel 14 military correspondent, calls for full Israeli-Jewish control over Gaza and says Israel can take the Strip and “induce emigration” in less than a month. He then calls for Gaza to be “torn to shreds and flattened,” questioning why Israel should show mercy to its population.  ("X")

What Will Be in Gaza?  Listen... 

First Gaza and then Yehudah v'Shomron...

HY"D!!

(Yeshayahu 11.11-14)  And it shall come to pass that on that day, the Lord shall continue to apply His hand a second time to acquire the rest of His people, that will remain from Assyria and from Egypt and from Pathros and from Cush and from Elam and from Sumeria and from Hamath and from the islands of the sea. 

And He shall raise a banner to the nations, and He shall gather the lost of Israel, and the scattered ones of Judah He shall gather from the four corners of the earth.

And the envy of Ephraim shall cease, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, nor shall Judah vex Ephraim.  

[The Messiah, the son of David, and the Messiah, the son of Joseph, shall not envy each other.  (Rashi)] 

And they shall fly of one accord against the Philistines in the west, together they shall plunder the children of the East; upon Edom and Moab shall they stretch forth their hand, and the children of Ammon shall obey them.

A Special Time for Teshuvah

7 Tishrei 5787
Erev Shabbat Kodesh
Parashat Ha'azinu - Shabbat Shuvah

The Shabbos between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is called Shabbos Shuvah, because its special haftarah reading begins with the words Shuvah Yisrael ("Return O Israel"), from the prophecy of Hoshe'a.  It is referred to as Shabbos Shuvah because it falls during the Ten Days of Teshuvah - Repentance.

...It is customary in almost all Jewish communities for the rabbi of the city or the congregation to expound on teshuvah, and to emphasize the severity of transgression so that the people turn their hearts toward repentance.  Our Sages have said that when the wise address the people, God forgives the sins of Israel.

The Shabbos was given to Israel as a time for Torah study and prayer, and, although one should always take care not to pass the time idly or in inappropriate conversation, on Shabbos Shuvah one should be especially careful to concentrate entirely on Torah, prayer, and reflection on teshuvah, thereby attaining forgiveness for whatever unfitting behavior may have marred other Sabbaths.    (Book of Our Heritage)

"And Paras (Iran) Destroys the World..."

6 Tishrei 5787

"...and the king of Persia returns and lays waste to the entire world and the nations of the world are shaken and terrified and fall on their faces, and pangs seize them like the pangs of a woman in labor, and Israel is shaken and terrified."
