“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars… See that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.”
Matthew 24:6
We’re reaching out to you this week with heavy yet hopeful hearts. Something has shifted in a significant way—both in the natural and in the spiritual.
A few days ago the U.S. carried out direct strikes on major Iranian nuclear sites. While it may look like just another breaking news story, we believe it’s much more than that. This is a moment we’ve sensed coming—a prophetic threshold that’s now unfolding right in front of our eyes.
It’s not just about politics or military action. It’s part of a bigger spiritual shaking that’s touching the nations—and it’s calling God’s people to attention.
The Storm Has Been Building
Iran’s threats to wipe out Israel aren’t new. Over the years, they’ve funneled weapons, money, and hatred through terror groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. Last night’s strike wasn’t just a military move—it sent a loud and clear message to both the world and the spiritual realm: enough is enough.
This brings the region closer to the edge of a larger war, with Israel right in the center of it all.
But for those of us who’ve been watching and praying, this isn’t a surprise. The Bible has spoken about days like these. In Ezekiel 38, we read of nations aligning against Israel—nations from the north, like modern-day Iran, Russia, and Syria. And Yeshua warned us clearly:
“Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom… All these are the beginning of birth pains.”
Matthew 24:7–8
So what we’re seeing isn’t just chaos—it’s part of God’s plan being revealed. It’s a wake-up call. For Israel. For the nations. For the global Body of Messiah. The time to stand on the wall and intercede is now.
Beit Hallel Is Standing in the Gap
In the middle of all this shaking, we at Beit Hallel are holding our ground—not with weapons of the world, but with the weapons of the Spirit.
Here’s what we’ve been doing with your help:
- We’re praying around the clock for God’s protection over Israel and for His mercy to cover this land.
- We’re providing emergency aid—food, essentials, and support—to families caught in the middle of this conflict.
- We’re sharing the hope of the Gospel with Israelis, comforting those who are afraid or grieving.
- We’re equipping young believers to stay grounded in the truth, strong in faith, and ready to shine the light of Yeshua.
Just this past week, we gathered several times to worship and cry out to God:
“Lord, have mercy. Pour out Your Spirit on this land. Reveal Yeshua to Your people.”
And we believe He’s responding. Even in dark moments, the light of Messiah is shining.
Shaking Comes Before Harvest
God’s Word reminds us:
“See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you and His glory appears over you.”
Isaiah 60:2
We believe revival is coming. Even with war looming, God is preparing hearts. People are searching for answers, for truth, for peace—and we know where that peace is found: in Yeshua.
This isn’t a time for fear. It’s a time for faith. A time to rise up, to pray, and to speak hope.
Stand With Us on the Wall
We need you now more than ever.
Please keep:
- Praying for Israel
- Praying for Jerusalem’s peace (Psalm 122:6)
- Asking God for a powerful move of His Spirit
- Supporting our humanitarian projects and the work of the Gospel here on the ground
We’ll keep you updated with frontline reports, testimonies, and prayer needs as things continue to unfold.
Yes, the days are serious—but our hope is unshakable.
Yeshua reigns. The Lion of Judah is not silent.
He is coming soon. Until then, we will stand our ground, stay faithful, and shine His light.
“Even so, come, Lord Yeshua.”
Revelation 22:20
With love and gratitude,
Pastor Israel Pochtar & the Beit Hallel Team
