This past Sunday February 21, 2021, just before Purim, Jews united all over the globe to pled to heaven for their long awaited Moshiach.  It was a call to all Jews to unite and call out to G-D at the exact same moment, 18:00 Israeli time.  Rabbis from across the globe unified their people in ONE prayer.  Covid has exposed the vulnerability of mankind and the Jews have responded with hunger and desperation.

“Master of the universe

We, your beloved children

United together around the world at this moment

Are crying out to you in prayer

Please accept this prayer with grace and kindness

We sincerely thank you for all your daily blessings,

But we implore you from the depths of our hearts

To send Moshiach immediately to redeem us with mercy,

From this long exile and suffering

And to bring peace to the world

We can’t wait anymore!

We desire your great name to be revealed

Your dominion in the entire world

And your presence returned to the Beit Hamikdash – the Holy Temple – now!”

“SHMA YISRAEL AD-ONAY EL-O-HAYNU AD-ONAY ECHAD

HEAR OH ISRAEL, THE L-RD IS OUR G-D, THE L-RD IS ONE”

They ended their heartfelt prayer with the Shema – the same prayer we asked you to pray with our Jewish brothers and sisters across the globe, for Israel and for the United States of America!  For two months, this community prepared for, advertised and unified for this powerful moment.

“Two powerful ways to hasten the coming of Moshiach is through unity of our nation and charity. Therefore, we are encouraging everyone to stop what they are doing, say this worldwide prayer together, and give a little charity at the same time. When Jews all around the world band together for a shared goal, the power is immeasurable…

“We believe that one day, Moshiach will come, and g-dliness will be revealed on earth. There will be no more war, no more suffering. There will be peace among nations.”

-Rabbi David Masinter, Chabad House in Johannesburg

Believing and yearning for the Moshiach is foundational to Jews and their study of the Torah – it is from this place of HOPE that they have called out as one!

Blessed ones, we KNOW the Messiah has come and His name is Jesus.  Many of our Jewish brothers and sisters have been blind to this for over 2000 years!  They have cried out and the Lord has HEARD the desires of their hearts!  Would you join me in praying for revelation of this truth to ring in home after home across the globe – those same who cried in unified desperation this past Sunday?

Pray that the Lord Jesus would reveal Himself in dreams and visions – from rabbis to the smallest children.  Pray that blind eyes would see, deaf ears would hear and that hearts would be softened and ready to receive this truth that hearts have been previously hardened to.  Pray that congregation after congregation would turn and become Messianic – those who believe the Messiah HAS come and know Him as Yeshua.

I love the “why” listed, why this cry out for Moshiach – “Like in Egypt, the final Redemption will come when we will all claim it from Hashem, said our holy sages.”  They have “claimed” before heaven that NOW is the time for Hashem (the name used to refer to God – ‘the Name’) to send Moshiach to redeem them.

Let’s pray that HE will truly be revealed in hearts as such an astronomical rate – with a flood of confidence and certainty that CHRISTIANS across the globe would feel the ripple effect.  Let’s pray for REVIVAL such as we have never conceived of before!

“Millions of Jews praying the same prayer at the same time.  It obviously is something that will create a blast in Heaven.  It hastens the Geula (redemption) and brings Mashiach!  May this world prayer be joined by everyone!  And Mashiach will come with Hashem’s help.  Amen.”  -Rabbi Shalom Arush

“Hear Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.”  Lord, may Your people, Your chosen people KNOW that Moshiach has already come and His name is Jesus/Yeshua.  May there be a sudden and supernatural understanding of the prophecies surrounding His coming.  Lord, we pray that you would remove the veil and show them the temple curtain was already torn in two.  Let them each know that they too have access to the holy of holies, that they have been allowed access to the Father, to Hashem!

Purim

The beauty of this prayer is multiplied when we consider the timing.  It was strategically scheduled to happen right before Purim.

Purim refers back to the time when the Jewish people were saved from a holocaust.   Haman (the king’s highest-ranking servant) took offense that “these people” would not bow their knee or give worship to the king and his kingdom.  He was repulsed that they kept themselves “separate”.  In his anger he deemed them a threat to the kingdom and convinced the king that those who did give full allegiance to the king and his kingdom should not be tolerated and in fact should be destroyed.  The law was signed and issued.

Haman’s plot to exterminate all Jews living in the kingdom in a single day was set-in motion.

Esther learned of the situation and felt hopeless, knowing even approaching the king without being summoned would likely result in her immediate execution.

“Mordecai told the messenger to reply to Esther, “Don’t think that you will escape the fate of all the Jews because you are in the king’s palace. If you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will come to the Jewish people from another place, but you and your father’s family will be destroyed. Who knows, perhaps you have come to your royal position for such a time as this.” Es 4:13-14

At this point Queen Esther became resolute and through her uncle Mordechai, called all the Jews to fast and pray to Yahweh that He would use her, the Jewish bride to the king, to save their people.  It.  At the end of the three-day fast, she would approach the king and risk her life.

Esther approached, found favor in the eyes of the king and was allowed to invite him and Haman to a private banquet she prepared for them.  Haman was puffed up by the invite, never realizing the true ethnic heritage of his queen.  As the plot for destruction was revealed, a rapid turn of events ensued with the instigator being hung on his own gallows.  In turn, the Jewish people were spared, elevated and laws established for their protection and reign.

All because of the unlikely assent of a young woman and her subsequent courage for “such a time as this”.

Purim Today

On the day before Purim, the Jewish people today still fast in commemoration of “Esther’s fasting and praying to G-d that He save His people.”

Will you prayerfully consider fasting and praying for the Jewish people this  Purim (Thursday through Sunday)?

Will you pray that God will reveal Himself as they cried out in a unified voice this past Sunday?

Jewish Voice published “5 Ways to Pray at Purim” for Messianic believers.  What a precious time and opportunity to pray the Shema and pray for the Jewish people.  Jesus is the name above ALL other names.  Let’s pray that His name is magnified and revealed in this time and day!

The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.  2 Pt 3:9

I was overjoyed when they said, “Let’s go up to the house of the Lord.” And now at last we stand here, inside the very gates of Jerusalem! O Jerusalem, you were built as a city of praise, where God and man mingle together. This is where all the tribes of Yahweh are required to come and worship him. This is where the thrones of kings have been established to rule in righteousness; even King David ruled from here. Pray and seek for Jerusalem’s peace, for all who love her will prosper! O Jerusalem, may there be peace for those who dwell inside your walls and prosperity in your every palace. I intercede for the sake of my family and friends who dwell there, that they may all live in peace. For the sake of your house, Yahweh I will seek the welfare and prosperity of Jerusalem. Ps 122 TPT
