DE AR WATCHMEN (the 1st half of this year)

GREETINGS FROM JERUSALEM IN 2020!

2020

BEGINS A NEW DECADE.

The 1920’s was known as the Roaring 20’s, and it seems the 2020’s also is becoming the Roaring 2020’s.

On January 13, 2020, we convened a meeting of the 24 key Jewish and Arab Apostolic Multiplication Leaders in Israel. God is moving in strong ways in multiplication and unity in Israel and now we have 50 new congregations in the last year.

In January-February, we convened several pastors meetings in five cities: Nazareth, Haifa, (Gush Dan) Tel Aviv, Judea (South of Israel), and Jerusalem with an average of 30 pastors in each meeting.

On February 4-8, 2020, we convened our 28th Annual Isaiah 19 Convocation in Turkey with over 300 leaders from the 33 nations of the Isaiah 19 Highway nations. Great multiplication in 24/7 prayer movements and church-planting movements is happening through many shakings.

The week following the Turkey convocation, we had meetings in Ireland, Wales, and London. God is moving powerfully in the New Gate back to Jerusalem.

In March, Covid-19 hit Israel and many western nations.

We had over 5 pastors meetings in Israel on Zoom with an average of 40 pastors in each meeting — the largest ever repenting for our sins and the sins of Israel. Also, in April, we convened repentance meetings of almost all 200 nations on Zoom where each nation repented for the sins of their nations.

On May 21st, Great Commission Ascension Day, 50 leaders joined us in Jerusalem House of Prayer For All Nations two days after Israel opened, and up to 70 more on Zoom for a very anointed time of prayer for the fulfillment of the Great Commission in Israel and all nations. Groups also joined us in 8,000 places globally.

Also, we convened 12 days of 24-hour praise and worship globally for the 12 gates from before Great Commission Ascension Day until after Pentecost Sunday, where in 8,000 places, they did 24-hour praise and worship for one day in their gateway nation. We pray for the fullness of the breakthrough for the last days outpouring in Israel and all nations in 2020.

On June 7, 2020, we convened the annual Jerusalem Day of Prayer for all nations commemorating the Reunification of Jerusalem with 70 leaders from Israel. We put an ad in Jerusalem Post with 100 Global Leaders standing with Jerusalem as the united capital of Israel. We worshiped overlooking the Lions Gate and Temple Mount where the Israelis went through Lions Gate raising an Israeli flag and reunifying the city as capital of Israel.

We are supporting Laborers for the Harvest in Israel and the Isaiah 19 Highway nations. We need $150,000 before the end of June 2020 for this fund and $300,000 for our Aliyah Fund to help 250 Joshua Generation — 18-25 years old — to make Aliyah into the Kibbutz Aliyah Program for 9 months initially.

Your joyful contribution for these needs would be appreciated as there are challenges faced by the Jewish communities that have been hit hard in the nations. Your sacrificial gift at this kairos time for the good news and Aliyah would be a great blessing for Israel.

I just received a new song, The King Breaks Through the Gates to Jerusalem, on the theme of this year’s all Nations Convocation Jerusalem that you can view on our JHOPFAN YouTube page. Sing the song with us for the breakthrough to Jerusalem. We believe the warfare this year is against the destiny of what God will do this year in Jerusalem from September 18 - October 2, 2020. We believe God to raise up 120 Joshua’s and Caleb’s who will bring 10 or more watchmen to join us for the convocation in the King’s City. Ask God if He is calling you to be a Joshua and Caleb, to break through the gates to Jerusalem bringing with you 10 delegates or more to worship the King of the Jews, Yeshua, in His City, Jerusalem. We will give a special gift of a sculpture of Joshua and Caleb with your name on it and conduct a special anointing service for the 120 Joshua and Caleb leaders with at least 10 delegates. God is calling those who will pass over by faith into the Promised Land and into the new season to be anointed in this time of paradigm shifts into the season of His spiritual rest and blessing for Israel and your nation.

Shalom in Messiah’s Love and Joy, Tom & Kate Hess

100 DAYS OF HEIGHTENED PRAYER FOR ISRAEL & THE NATIONS

W

ILL WE MEET GOD'S CONDITIONS as his people and Covid-19 will pass, or will it be prolonged?

THIS YEAR 2020, the COVID-19 plague which began in 2019 has greatly affected the whole world, even as the flood did in the time of Noah.

We have gathered in repentance through Zoom, where leaders from Israel and almost 200 nations have repented for their nations in the month of April. The Lord revealed to us that He wants 2020 to be a Year of Repentance, where we don't just repent for the next month or season, then go back to business as usual, but that we walk in a lifestyle of repentance. II Chronicles 7:13-14 says, When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 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 I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

We pray for the fullness of God's redemptive purposes in allowing COVID-19, to be fulfilled. If we do not walk in repentance, God could allow this to continue to cause us to totally depend on Him. May we meet God's conditions, so He can heal our land and this COVID-19 can be behind us.

We believe God is shaking all things to restore all things in our days.

Throughout all the challenges of 2020, we thank God for the breakthroughs! Finally, the Israeli government has reached a stable compromise, with Benjamin Netanyahu retaking his seat as Prime Minister, rotating with Benny Gantz.

Hallelujah for the amazing breakthroughs! God has done great things! And He will do greater things yet!

We believe that 2020 is a crucial year in bringing about God's Kingdom purposes and destiny for Israel, the Isaiah 19 Highway, and the nations.

For this reason, we are calling for a heightened time of prayer as led by the Holy Spirit for 100 days, starting from the 28th of May, Shavuot/Pentecost, until the Feast of Trumpets on September 18, also the commencement of ANCJ 2020. This period will also include the 17th of Tammuz to the 9th of Av, which is a volatile time when the temples were destroyed. As you are led by the Holy Spirit, you mayl join our community as we undergo a partial Daniel Fast for 100 days. We've received many breakthroughs already, but God has more in store, and we need to be vigilant, not only to hold our ground, but also

to take ground in the spirit.

Continue to pray for the unity and spiritual awakening of the Body in Israel and all nations. Let us continue to pray for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the new 120-member Knesset, that they would have the fear of the Lord, so that God will continue to give them wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.

1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand; 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; 8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

- Psalm 121 Pray for God’s protection and salvation as we prepare for the 27th All Nations Convocation Jerusalem & Watchmen’s Tour of Israel from September 18-October 2.

The theme for this year is The King Breaks Through the Gates to Jerusalem.

We hope to warmly welcome you in Jerusalem this September! We hope you can be a Joshua and Caleb and bring 10 or more delegates to Jerusalem and bring a good report of Israel, breaking through the gates to posses the land on September 18-October 2, 2020. May God’s Kingdom come and His will be done in Jerusalem, Israel, on earth as it is in Heaven!

E i l a t | Isaiah 19 DECEMBER 10-12, 2019

joshua generation Convocation

WE GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD for a wonderful time of worship and sharing at the Isaiah 19 Highway Convocation for the Jewish and Arab youth and teenagers in the land. We had close to three hundred people that came from all over the country to worship together the King of glory and to draw closer to God and one another. Many powerful testimonies were shared about how God has changed young people in this land, both Jews and Arabs. There was a powerful time of worship, Word of God, and fellowship that united the youth together.

We also had 24/7 watches held at our house of prayer in Eilat overlooking the 3 bordering nations of Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. It was an amazing time of prayer being hosted at the house of prayer with all 300 local people going to pray within 48 hours. We bless God for His ways of bringing a Jew and an Arab together in His Body!

NATIONS from Afghanistan to Mauritania, including Israel, Turkey, and the Arab world, gathered together in Istanbul, Turkey for a powerful and anointed Isaiah 19 Highway All Middle East Convocation. Over three hundred leaders from all over the Middle East came to worship in unity. Close to half of them came from Turkey. Every region and nation shared the amazing work God has been doing in reaching many unsaved souls in the last year. One after the other, our brothers and sisters gave amazing testimonies and offered strong prayers at the convocation, while an ongoing 24/7 prayer chain covered the time in intercession and in a plea for God's continuous blessing & breakthrough over these nations.

Delegates representing the Joshua Generation assembled separately every night to worship the Lord and fellowship with one another.

Many young believers from all over the highway partook of the fire of the Holy Spirit as a sweet smelling aroma to God. The worship teams led everyone in anointed praise and worship, with dancing, rejoicing, and deeply intimate moments of fellowship with the King.

We continue to witness God increasing disciples and leaders in the whole Isaiah 19 Highway as a sign of His harvest in the last days and the soon return of our Lord and Messiah, Yeshua! Truly, Egypt, Assyria, and Israel are becoming a blessing in the midst of the Earth!

fter over two months of selfquarantine — as recommended by the Israeli government — what a refreshing & welcome experience it was to come together as His Body in Israel! Approximately 50 pastors, leaders, and watchmen, gathered at Jerusalem House of Prayer For All Nations (JHOPFAN) joined by 70 more online via Zoom for a time of worship, prayer, fellowship, and strengthening one another's commitment to fulfill the Great Commission in Israel, the Isaiah 19 Highway, and the nations.

Thousands of groups of believers also joined us online via Zoom in 8,000 locations all over the world!

Jesus beseeched His followers as He ascended from the Mt. of Olives — where JHOPFAN is — to heaven in Acts 1:8: "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

Both generations present — the father generation and the Joshua generation — challenged and prayed for one another to see the fulfillment of the Great Commission throughout the nations even as the event happened during a 12-day chain of 24-hour global praise and worship in each of the 12 gates, where 8,000 locations committed to conduct 24-hour praise and worship in the 12 gates (see pages 16-17).

Surely, God is preparing His people for a great harvest, and we pray that none of us will miss our part in it!

2 0 2 0 :Aliyah

A

PARADIGM SHIFT into the new season of 2020 is that Jerusalem and Israel will take a greater prominence for Jewish people globally, Aliyah from the US and the West will increase significantly, and more Jewish people will receive their King.

We’re seeing amazing things happening in these days. We’ve seen shaking in the largest Jewish city in the world, New York City, where over 2 million Jewish people live in the New York City area. There are more Jewish people in the whole area of greater New York City than in the seven largest Jewish cities in Israel, if you can imagine. G-d is shaking New York.

He’s shaking major Jewish areas like France, Belgium, UK, Germany, Italy, and even Australia. Most major Jewish areas of the world are being shaken. What is happening? The Jewish people in those nations are realizing that the Jews in Israel — the secular Jews, the orthodox Jews, the Zionist Jews, all different kinds of Jews — are being taken care of better in Israel than they are in the nations. In Israel, around 300 Jews died (so far, June 2020) from Covid-19, whereas in the nations where half the Jewish people still live, thousands of Jews that have lost their lives — maybe as many as ten thousand. So possibly 30 times more Jews have lost their lives in the nations through this virus than they have in Israel. Many Jews in the nations right now are saying we want to make Aliyah to Israel.

In fact, many of the native born Israelis who have been living abroad for years — up to a 100 thousand — are moving back to Israel because they want to be back in Israel, their homeland and the homeland for all Jews. They know it’s their homeland and they want to come home. Now many Jews — secular, Orthodox, and Zionist Jews all over the world — are saying, “We now want to make Aliyah to Israel.” The Jewish Agency is saying that in the next year, they believe up to 100 thousand Jews could come home soon.

"We're seeing amazing things happening in these days."

An excerpt from Chapter 15 of the new 10th edition of Let My People Go!

BY TOM HESS

as a paradigm shift into a new season

a million Jewish people could come back from the western nations in the decade of the 2020’s. With all that is happening, it could even be more than a million. We knew that G-d has brought them from the north, south, and east, but this next season is the time for them to come back from the West, where 90% live outside Israel. He says in Hosea 11:10-11 that the Jewish people will come trembling from the West. I believe we’re going to see them in this coming decade, come trembling from the West. Aliyah is going to grow in a very significant way from the western nations, because of the shakings that are taking place and will take place.

There are over 700 Scriptures in the back of this book, calling the Jewish people back to Israel. Let My People Go! is available through our ministry. Actually, almost a million and a half copies have gone out globally. About 35 different languages are in print. In our 24/7 house of prayer in New York City, they are proclaiming day and night the 700 Scriptures about Aliyah to the Jews coming home to Israel. We are also doing this in Israel. People are joining in Korea and other nations, because we believe it’s the time for G-d to honor His Word and we hope that the Jewish people will come back before greater shakings and judgments come. We know the fullness will come back.

It says all Jews in the world will come back. In Ezekiel 39:27, it says, “I will bring them back, not leaving any behind.” So they will come back like they came out of Egypt; none were left behind. Ultimately, all the Jews from New York City and all over the West will all be back in Israel according to the Word of G-d, spoken to the prophet Ezekiel. We know that Ezekiel was written after they came back out of Egypt, so obviously, he’s not talking about them coming from Egypt in the book of Ezekiel.

Could it be that God is beginning to unravel the USA as He did the Former Soviet Union in the 1980's because it is time for the US Jews & Jews in the west to follow the 700 Scriptures and come home to their covenant promised land, Israel?

When I updated the book, Let My People Go! in January 2020 before all this happened, I felt the Lord show me that over

"G-d is calling intercessors to stand There’s another verse which is very strong on Aliyah from the book of with Him in Micah 2:12-13. It says, “I will surely gather all of you, Jacob. I will surely breaking bring together the remnant of Israel.

I will bring them together like sheep open the in a pen, like a flock in His pasture.

The place will throng with people.” gates..."

This is talking about Israel. Here’s an

interesting Scripture. “The One Who breaks open the way will go up before them.” G-d is calling intercessors to stand with Him in “breaking open the gates” of New York City, “breaking open the gates” of the Jewish communities in the USA, Europe, and in the world to see the Jewish people return to Israel. It says, “They will break through the gates and go out, their King at their head.”

I believe largely because of the intercessors praying and G-d shaking things. The Jews will come back to Israel!

We know that anti-Semitism has been increasing in major ways — mostly in the western world where 95% of the Jews outside of Israel live today. These are the hunters who are arising, as the fishermen are fishing, and we know that now is the time. In New York City, just before this virus sprang up, from Hanukkah to the beginning of January, there were ten major incidents of anti-Semitism all over New York City, and it’s only increasing today.

So, we know G-d is speaking — not only through this corona virus, but also through the anti-Semitism that’s been rising all over the Western world.

Micah 2:13 b says, “The King will pass through before them, the Lord at their head.” The King of the Jews is going to pass before them.

He is leading them back to Israel. It says He will pass before them and the Lord will be at their head. So this Aliyah is being initiated by the Lord Himself Who is longing for His people to come back to His land and come to their Messiah, and to be prepared for the coming of the King of Glory. We thank G-d for what He’s doing through the shakings.

I believe the shakings that G-d is bringing are redemptive shakings for the following purposes: • • • • •

"the shakings G-d is bringing are redemptive shakings." the fullness of His redemptive purpose to happen through these shakings

the fullness of His redemptive purpose for us to repent, humble ourselves, seek His face, turn from our wicked ways the fullness of His redemptive purpose for us to walk in the fear of the Lord and to walk in the holiness of the Lord

the fullness of His redemptive purpose for Israel to come to the fullness of their focus and purpose

the Jews to turn their eyes to Jerusalem, and away from New York City, away fromFrance, away from LA, away from Miami, away from Great Britain, away from Germany.

It’s time for them to come home, because the 700 Scriptures are calling them home, and the Lord at their head is passing before them back to the land of Israel.

We also know, according to the Word of G-d and based on statistics, Israel is by far the safest place in the world for the Jewish people. In the last eighty years, 99% of all the Jews that were killed were killed outside of Israel. Only 20,000 were killed in the wars of Israel.

Even now, outside of Israel, many more Jews are dying from the corona virus than those living in Israel. Israel is by far the safest place for them. Even abortion statistics estimate approximately six million Jews were killed outside of Israel, while many less were killed inside of Israel. In Israel, you have the largest families in the Western Hemisphere, in the industrialized world. The average household in Israel has 3.5 children in every household. Even among the secular Jews, in Israel, they have a higher birth rate than in the industrialized nations all over the world. We thank G-d that family life is among the best in Israel of any place in the world. We thank G-d for the strong family unit in Israel. It is of note that

according to recent statistics, Israelis, with all the challenges they have with the surrounding nations, remain the most optimistic people in the world.

The health system in Israel is great. I was in the hospital for ten days in intensive care. As an Israeli citizen, I didn’t have to pay even one shekel. Had I been in the USA, it could have cost me $100,000. The Jews in the West know that the health system in Israel is great, which is another reason they are desiring to come back to Israel.

Jewish education around the world is very expensive in the United States and other countries.

But praise G-d, in Israel, you don’t have to pay for education. We know that Israel is also called to be a light to the nations. We believe that through the shakings that are happening, that righteousness will be restored to Israel. They will trust in their Messiah and they will be redeemed, and they will turn away from abortions in Israel, from ungodly sexuality, from all the other evils of our society.

G-d promises in Zechariah 8 that He will make this nation of Israel a holy nation. He will shake the nation until the nation becomes a holy nation, until we trust in the Bible when we look to the Lord, the G-d of Israel, and turn from our wicked ways. G-d is going to purify the sons of Levi according to the Word of G-d.

I believe that G-d wants to bring home all Jewish people, but He especially wants to bring home the younger generation of Jews from all over the world, those under the age of forty. Those that can invest the best part of their lives — thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy years of their life — standing for the nation of Israel, investing into Israel and investing the best years of their lives in Israel, trusting in the G-d of Israel, and preparing the way for the coming of the Messiah, the King of Glory.

This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each of them with cane in hand because of their age. The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there.” Zechariah 8:4-5

We see that G-d is working in amazing ways.

He says that He will not come back until the Lord builds up Zion, then He will appear in His glory (see Psalm 102:16). So, we know that building up Zion, the Jews coming back to Israel, and coming back to their G-d is preparing the way for the coming of the King of glory.

"It's the appointed time for them to come home."

his was a year unlike any other year. Perhaps for the first time since the original Passover in Egypt, when all the Israelites were in their houses, with the blood of the Passover lamb applied to their doors. This year, not only was all of Israel in their homes, but everywhere in the world, as we tarried for the plague of Covid-19 to pass by. We understood that this is a momentous time, when God is calling us to the “secret place” closer with Him, and also He is shaking the nations.

April 5, Palm Sunday

We kicked off the holy week leading up to the Passover with “Palm Sunday” – also known as the Triumphal Entry. This is the one day when the Mount of Olives is usually packed, as pilgrims come from all over the world, to retrace the steps of Jesus on His donkey, waving palm branches. This year, it was eerily quiet, as no one was in the streets. Nevertheless, we marched around the prayer tower with our palm branches and God gave us cheer in our hearts, as we declared: Hosanna in the highest! Glory in the highest! Hosanna to the Son of David! Hosanna to the King of Israel!

April 8, Passover

Usually we have 100-120 people for our Passover seders.

This year it was just our JHOPFAN family. There was a sense of God’s intimacy – the “Lamb for every household” – that He has shed His blood for our household and that He was calling us near. We went through the seder (replaying the events of the original Passover in Egypt and when Jesus took the Passover with His disciples). As we were eating the seder meal, we received a report that the roads were closing throughout the country to prevent the spread of Covid-19. We (Tom and Kate) had to “eat with haste” as in the first passover – not even finishing our dinner – and go to our home; everything took on Biblical proportions.

Our JHOPFAN watchmen kept the all-night prayer vigil, according to Exodus 12:42, even an everlasting ordinance which Jesus observed in the Garden of Gethsemane. We asked for the great Aliyah of the Jewish people from the USA and the western world back to Israel according to Jeremiah 16:14-15 & 23:7-8

April 12, Resurrection Sunday

Instead of our usual sunrise service at our home, we met in the prayer tower to give thanks for all that God has done in our lives and ways that He has intervened to save us, heal us, deliver us, restore us, etc. This was followed by a lovely brunch prepared by our chef, Abu Nadie. Next we watched Sight & Sound theater’s production of “Jesus”.

It was so powerful, many of us were laughing, crying and even shrieking out of startle and suspense. We saw Jesus brought to life in a new and dynamic way. We highly recommend this film, which you can find and purchase online through itunes or Sight & Sound theaters.

THE WATCHMEN'S Journal

From this day on, the Jewish people count the “omer” the 49 days leading to Shavuot – what Christians know as Pentecost. This year there has been a strong sense and proclamation all over the world in many streams and circles that from “Passover to Pentecost”, as most were in lockdown, was a time set apart to seek the Lord as never before.

May 21, Great Commission Ascension day

On May 21, day 40, we commemorated “Great Commission Ascension Day” – when from our very location on the Mount of Olives, Jesus told His disciples: “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) Then He ascended to heaven!

Last Days Upper room

Just days before, Israel began to allow gatherings of 50 people. So we were able to have 50 of the pastors from Israel to come, with the others joining by zoom, to pray on this day for the fulfillment of Acts 1:8, even as groups were gathered in 8,000 locations worldwide joining with us. Glory to God!

Jesus told His disciples that they were to tarry in Jerusalem in prayer until the the Promise of the Holy Spirit was poured out on them, when they would be empowered to be His witnesses (in fulfillment of Isaiah 43:10-12 & Acts 1:8). Lo and behold, 10 days later, on the biblical feast of Shavuot (or Pentecost – because it was 50 days after the feast firstfruits and the resurrection of Jesus), the Holy Spirit was poured out on the 120 in the upper room and they went out into the streets to proclaim the Good News! Through Peter’s famous preaching, 3,000 received the Lord that day.

Similarly, we have been in this time of waiting, seeking and praying leading up to Pentecost and now beyond. We are believing, as the disciples and the 120 in the upper room, that He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh once again, as we prepare the way for the King of Glory to return to Jerusalem!

(See pages 16-17 for reports per gate about what God did!)

May 24, new Moon Harp Symphony

For the first time, for the 1st of Sivan, we hosted a Zoom new moon-month harp symphony, with all 4 of our houses of prayer, with the Korean house of prayer, and invited other harpists to join. Altogether around 150 harpists joined, in less than a 24 hour invite period, from 40 different nations. It was so encouraging to see the fruit and development of the King’s harp program and the extent of the restoration of harp worship in the earth. We will continue to have these online harp worship times together!

May 29, Shavuot/Pentecost; May 31, Pentecost Sunday

On Friday, May 29, we gathered along with other local harpists to worship the Lord on Shavuot and be part of a Shavuot Global Prayer Day hosted by TOS ministries out of Germany. The last hour of the 24 hours of live worship and prayer was at JHOPFAN on the Mount of Olives. It was a blessing to squeeze together in the prayer tower and worship our King on the biblical holiday of Shavuot. We also worshipped on Pentecost Sunday and joined with Empowered21, believing God for every person on earth to have an encounter with THE WATCHMEN'S Journal 11 the Holy Spirit.

MAJOR REASONS TO VISIT The King's House

1

THE FIG TREE BLOSSOMS This is where the fig tree was cursed (Mark 11:14, 21-24), but now is blossoming (Luke 21:24-29,32). Pray for Jerusalem to remain the united capital of Israel and for full reconciliation of her residents to God and each other.

6

THE KING'S TRIUMPHAL ENTRY This is where the Triumphal Entry began on Palm Sunday. (Luke 19:28-44)

THE KING'S GREAT COMMISSION AND ASCENSION This is where the Great Commission was originally given and is now on the walls of JHOPFAN in the 24 most spoken languages (Acts 1:8) and where the apostles took the first fruits of the Gospel to the nations. Now we are believing that the Gospel will come to fullness from the ends of the earth, through the 12 gates, back to Jerusalem. This is where Jesus ascended to heaven (Luke 24:50-52; Acts 1:9). Receive a double portion of the fresh anointing to fulfill the Great Commission back to Jerusalem in your generation and prepare the way for the King of Glory.

THE KING'S 24/7 HARP & BOWL WATCHES IN THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID This is where you can visit and join 24/7 Harp & Bowl in the Tabernacle of David where it has continued unceasingly for 32 years and where watchmen-staff & guests stay to pray. (Rev. 5:8; Isaiah 62:6-7)

IEV, UKRAINE — This year, theAll European Convocation from May 1st-2nd, for the first time, took place online due to the restrictions for gathering.

The Kiev Messianic Congregation was leading us in powerful worship times, inspiring dances and anointed prayer times throughout the Convocation and led us through the program. The King’s Harpists from JHOPFAN also led on 2 occasions. Different Speakers were invited to share and we heard powerful messages from leaders in Europe, Israel and the United States.

Here is a short summary of their messages in the order they were given/received: Kate Hess, Jerusalem: “Seek the Lord while He may be found” (Isaiah 55:6) - we are in a set apart time to seek Him and prepare ourselves as the Bride in the secret place, until the Spirit and the Bride say come.

Jonathan Bernis, USA/Israel: The Journey from Passover to Shavuot/Pentecost; a time to sanctify and prepare ourselves to stand in the time to come.

Boris Grisenko, Ukraine/Israel: The external quarantine of the present and the time of the Israelites in the desert compared to a spiritual quarantine in Yeshua that restricts us from evil and sin, removing ungodly roots in our lives, preparing us for the coming of the Messiah.

Heidi Baker, Mozambique, Iris Ministries Europe: A strong reminder how nothing can separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ - no fear or pandemic, based on her lifetime journey in extreme circumstances.

Tom Hess, Jerusalem: The 8 major Kingdom paradigm shifts that are taking place during the current shakings: Global repentance, prayer and intimacy are increasing; A greater revelation of God’s holiness, love, grace and judgments; Jerusalem will rise in prominence for Jews (Aliyah, salvation) and Gentiles (nations turning to Jerusalem, becoming sheep nations); Multiplication of prayer movements and houses of prayer all over Europe; Greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit worldwide; The process of shaking will continue as God

removes hindrances and restores all things.

Acts 3:21; Hebrews 12:26-28 Sid Roth, METV: Shared about the Glory of God that is coming in a stronger way; the relevance of God’s promises with Israel and the One New Man in Jesus Christ.

Ways to prepare for the coming Glory: live in instant repentance (catch the foxes), walk in love, watch your mouth, prayer without ceasing, in the spirit, be a worshipper - it’s a lifestyle, meditate and confess scripture.

Ephesians 3:16,19 John Chisholm, IHOP: Shared about the Restoration of the Tabernacle of David and took us into a time of praise, worship and prayer. Worship is all about agreeing with who God is and intercession is about agreeing with His promises and His word.

He also shared God’s promises to David and Israel, and asked for the release of God’s promises, calling them into existence.

F e b r u a r y 2020:

a breakthrough for the new gate

T R I P TO I R E L A N D,WA L E S , & LO N D O N , U K

Ireland

Wales

Then we traveled to the Wales Bible College, originally founded by Reese Howells, who is known as “The Intercessor”, and now is run by our friend, Ps. Yang Tuck Yoon. Tom was asked to give remarks for the 70th year commemoration of the passing of Reese Howells. This is an amazing story of how Reese Howells turned the Bible School into a 10+years house of prayer to intercede for the Jews and the rebirth of the nation of Israel from 1938 until the end of World War 2, until Israel was birthed. We felt to renew the prayers that had been prayed in that place over the decades – now for the fullness of the Jewish people to return to Israel and to their God.

We journeyed to Northern Ireland to be part of a prayer journey and a conference to do with the Restoration of the Tabernacle of David since the time of the 270 year 24/7 worship and prayer that started in Bangor, Ireland in 555AD. We retraced the steps of a few of the key place where St. Patrick was and where he ministered and established the Kingdom of God; may these mighty works be revived again and even greater in our day! We are believing for the restoration of harp worship in this nation and all of God’s plans and connection to Israel in these last days. We are thankful to the Stables for hosting us! These are the days of Elijah, preparing the way of the Lord!

London, UK

Lastly, we hopped on a train to London. We had a lively evening meeting with Ps. Charles Abraham and Ps. Jacqueline Brown, praying and believing for a great breakthrough in England and Europe, back to Jerusalem – not to bow to the spirit of intimidation, but to continue to pray and preach in the boldness of the early Church. The following morning, we went to New Gate, London to spiritually reopen this gate back to Jerusalem – to proclaim the year of Jubilee and the fullness of God’s plan for UK and Europe, before the Great King’s return. There were 20 of us in song, prayer and proclamation. Here is a picture of Ps. Tom, Ps. Charles, and Ps. Jacqueline reopening the New Gate.

1UPPER 2 DROOM a y sIN THE g l 12o GATES bal

FROM BEFORE GRE AT COMMISSION ASCENSION DAY TO AF TER PENTECOST SUNDAY

Bethlehem gate (May 20-21; 8AM-8AM)

Fifteen nations — Zimbabwe, Angola, Central African Republic, Zambia, Cameroon, Congo, Gabon, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, and Democratic Republic of Congo — and approximately 2,000 congregations participated in praying for their nation, the nations of their gate, and Israel, as part of a Last Days Global Upper Room from Ascension Day until Pentecost Sunday according to the twelve prayer points and the book, House of Prayer for All Nations. All were blessed to participate in this special opportunity.

“As a nation, we believe for a great breakthrough of grace outpouring over our nation and greater harvest as a result of these prayers.” - Lesotho

Ein kerem gate (May 21-22; 8AM-8AM)

A total of eleven nations — Liberia, Chad, Mali, Nigeria, Sierra Leon, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Guinea, and Ivory Coast — and approximately 2,500 congregations participated in praying for their nation, the nations of their gate, and Israel, as part of a Last Days Global Upper Room from Ascension Day until Pentecost Sunday. Congregations did set aside the assigned 24 hours to pray from their home and church.

“We thank God for this grace and opportunity given to participate in worldwide prayer” - Chad

Bethel gate (May 22-23; 8AM-8AM)

The countries of the Bethel Gate actively participated in the prayer marathon. Pastors and intercessors of Asian countries, with burning and grateful hearts, joyfully stood watch over their gates. We saw the hand of God in the prayers of more than 361 intercessors from Kazakhstan, involving 5 churches of large cities and surrounding areas.

About 200 people who participated in the prayer were from the city of Kaum. For believers, a new growing season has begun — the acceptance of the revelation of prayers for Israel and the Jewish people. We believe and expect the manifestation of the glory of God in the nations of both Bethel Gate and around the world.

Samuel's Mountain gate (May 23-24; 8AM-8AM)

In Samuels Mt. Gate, participants from mostly Sweden, Finland, and Norway joined the 24-Hour Prayer Day between Ascension Day and Pentecost. Repentace prayers were spoken for the respective nations of participatns, as well as for the unrighteousness done to Israel. One report spoke of reconciliation that has been taking place between the northern countries and of intecessors that went to visit "ancient wells" in the country to pray for revival on site. Many were very encouraged and expressed gratitude to be part of this global prayer call.

Jaffa gate (May 24-25; 8AM-8AM)

The four corners of America — Alaska, Hawaii, Florida, and Maine — and the hub of the recent breakout of riots, Minnesota, prayed during the Jaffa Gate 24-hour watch. Two known groups in or from Canada also took part as well as familes or Houses of Prayer in New York, California, Colorado, Washington, New Jersey, and Texas joined in prayer. The Way of the Lord Church, in Blaine, Minnesota, integrated this focus into their regular watches within two of their church services and a leader from Canada made these powerful statements about their watches: • That the Father’s people would not miss the reset and the opportunities to step into what He is doing to usher in with the Kingdom.

• Tarry in Jerusalem until power is endued from on high.

• Let the sons of God arise and shine!

THE WATCHMEN'S Journal

New gate (May 25-26; 8AM-8AM)

Groups from fifteen different nations, in 21 locations joined the 24-hour Prayer Day between Ascension Day and Pentecost. Altogether, approximately 400 people were involved. Many participants gave feedback on the tearful repentance that took place, of God raising up more people with a heart to stand in prayer for Israel and generally stirred the desire for increased prayer and intercession. They called forth destinies and redemptive purposes for their nation according to the book (House of Prayer For All Nations) we sent to them.

Damascus gate (May 26-27; 8AM-8AM)

The prayer leaders of the Damascus Gate readily responded to the call to join the prayer guards. One solid evidence of God's glory was that the intercessors and watchmen from Russia were in unity in the decision to stand behind all the northern gates: Samuel’s Mt. Gate, Damascus Gate, Bethel Gate, and Lions Gate. During the prayer marathon, we held four video conferences with intercessors of Russia. Online meetings showed participants the importance of prayer for unity among believers, for the repentance of nations, for the Jewish people. About 1,000 people and 20 locations took part in the prayer.

Bethany gate (May 27-May 28; 8AM-8AM)

Countries in Bethany Gate like Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, etc, were very much blessed with the 24-hour prayer marathon leading up to the day of Pentecost.

Many who joined in this event felt the presence of the Lord. The Holy Spirit came in power, baptizing some, with several unable to stop speaking in tongues even after the prayer was over. They have thanked JHOPFAN for arranging this event and have made a commitment to do this in their locations during Pentecost every year.

Mevasseret Gate (May 28-May 29; 8AM-8AM)

Central American, Caribbean, and South American countries comprised the majority of participants. Leaders were eager to participate in the 24-hour prayer marathon.

The Walcott’s, the family leading the Jamaica House of Prayer, recorded and put up their worship/prayer session videos on YouTube during their Mevasseret Gate watch. What a powerful and touching anointing for all the world to see! The lead pastor of a Grenadian church, Pastor Benedict Newton, excitingly gathered 7 other churches in Grenada to join with us and to take part in this – he told us over the phone how many prophets and kings desired to see this day, and not only do we get to live in it – we get to stand in the gap!

Mount Zion gate (May 29-May 30; 8AM-8AM)

In remembrance of the Great Commission given by King Jesus before He ascended to Heaven, a total of seven nations — Malawi, Kenya, Comoros Islands, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, and Tanzania — and approximately 1,000 congregations from Mt. Zion Gate participated in praying for their nations, the nations of their gate, and Israel, as part of a Last Days Global Upper Room from Ascension Day until Pentecost Sunday. Congregations set aside the assigned 24 hours to pray from their home and church.

Lions gate (May 30-May 31; 8AM-8AM)

Ten nations — China, Korea (both North and South), Japan, Mongolia, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Iran, and Iraq — and approximately 1,000 congregations and groups of people participated to pray for the Great Commission according to Acts 1:8. Some who could not gather together held it online. Approximately 700 groups participated in the one-day 24/7 Upper Room Prayer according to the 12 prayer points given by JHOPFAN for the ten nations in the book, House of Prayer For All Nations.

Isaiah 56:7b : My house is a house of prayer for all nations. As we bless each other, God will more out more blessing as in Psalm 133.

We believe for the breakthrough of the fullness of the salvation of Gentiles, and the whole house of Israel will be saved. A lot of testimonies rose up from the watchmen’s personal life with Jesus.

Golden gate (May 31-June 1; 8AM-8AM)

The 24 hours prayers for the day of Pentecost was held in Golden Gate countries on 31st of May to 1st of June. Most of the Golden Gate countries like India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and Myanmar participated in this from more than 300 locations. The believers who joined in this event came back with testimonies about how God led them and helped them in praying continuously for 24 hours. They felt the presence of God and were overjoyed to see their location has changed, as a result of this Upper room experience. Some have made a commitment that they will either do this 24 hours prayer either weekly, monthly THE WATCHMEN'S Journal or on special occasion days.

Women's ministry

RECAP: JESUS’ BIRTHDA Y PARTY

W

e had a blessed time as we do every year, reaching out to our neighborhood during the time when we commemorate Jesus’ birth.

This year some famous animated characters told the Nativity story: Tom & Jerry (the cat & mouse), Aslan the Lion, Robin Hood, Alice in Wonderland, and Winnie the Pooh! You can guess who Tom was! It was a FULL house and we continue to pray for the good seed going into the good soil of the heart

W

OMEN'S MINISTRY

“Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.” John 11:5 “There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome, who also followed (Jesus) and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.” Mark 15:40-41

G

Esther Fast (Feb. 28-Mar. 1)

od laid it on our hearts to “suddenly” do an Esther Fast for those who felt led regarding: 1) unity in the Body in Israel and worldwide; 2) Israel’s elections on March 2 and forming a new government after over one year without one; 3) the obliteration of the corona virus, global repentance and revival. These were powerful 3 days, day and night before His face and truly wanting Him to have His way in our midst and lead us in prayers, weeping, repentance and travail. We have seen great breakthrough from this time of fasting and we continue to humble ourselves, pray, seek His face and turn from our wicked (selfish) ways, believing to see the answer to our prayers! Esther received favor from the King and with the help of God, was able to overcome her enemies, and establish the Kingdom!

W

Purim Party (Mar. 9) e all dressed as Esther and Mordecai for the feast of Purim, as we read the book of Esther, and celebrated as a community. God is calling women like Esther and men like Mordechai to arise again to fast and pray to see evil decrees reversed and God’s Kingdom advancing all over the earth.

F

Mother's Day (mar. 20)

or the last 5 years or so, we have celebrated Mother’s Day (days before or after March 21) with the women from our neighborhood and beyond by hosting a spa day. It is always a roaring success and the women don’t want to leave. This year, as the lock-down began, we realized it wouldn’t be possible. We quickly prepared prophetic “spa packages” (with anointing oil, soap, pearls, scriptures, etc.) to give to the neighbors, blessings of healing and protection during a time of trouble.

Even in the closing moments when people went into total lockdown, and the rain was coming down, we went from house to house to bless and pray for our neighborhood that no harm or sickness could come our way. The women were almost in shock to see us knocking on the door in the rain to bring this final blessing as the lockdown started. That day I remember just crying, mingled with the rain that was pouring down. I felt heaven’s tears for these precious women and how much God loves them and has called them for such a time as this, even though they don’t know Him yet. We pray that they will also be like the women who were following and ministering Jesus.

20 THE WATCHMEN'S Journal

Roses! (may 12)

T

his year, after all the rain at the beginning of the year, and then the intense heat blast, the roses bloomed as never before, thousands of them; we have 144 rose bushes at the King’s House. As the lockdown lifted, and the roses bloomed, we felt to give a rose bouquet to all the women/families in the neighborhood (around 50 bouquets). We prepared the roses and went and delivered them to all the families in the neighborhood. What a joy to see the appreciation on the faces of the women and families. Oh the fragrance! There was a feeling of completion of this lockdown season – starting with the rain and the prophetic packages of God’s love and protection, and then ending with the beautiful blooming of the roses, as now we are all back outside again, enjoying the beauty of God’s creation.

Truly, it is more blessed to give than receive, as the Bible says.

BIKE RIDING

O

ne of the blessings during the lockdown, especially for the children in our community, was being able to ride their bikes in our driveway. Also all the neighborhood children now have bikes and love to ride their bikes in the driveway when the gate is open. It was a joy to see how the children are all learning, growing, and even having fun during this difficult time.

We loved to see the thrill of them racing their bikes around the driveway!

NEW MURAL

A

few years ago, we had the groundbreaking of our “King’s Kids Corner” playground. We have now developed a big, bright mural on the wall and plan to continue beautifying His “footstool” (the Mount of Olives) until He comes! “to beautify the place of My sanctuary; and I will make the place of My feet glorious.” Isaiah 60:13

New Harp Program (June)

through both jerusalem hadassah hospitals

W

e were contacted by the Hadassah Hospitals Children’s School to be the patrons of a harp & lyre program to minister to the children, who sometimes cannot even talk or are so weak from treatments that the only language that can help them is music. They are requesting 6 of the 24-stringed harps and 10 of the 10-stringed harps. This is quite an investment and we are asking those who God leads to generously respond to this need: harp@jhopfan.org We can see this invaluable ministry continuing to be salt and light as it permeates Israeli society and goes out to the nations!

We have continued to develop the harp program through our 4 houses of prayer, through trainings we host at JHOPFAN and other locations, our annual harp school, and now the monthly new moon harp symphonies on Zoom. For more info about helping with this program or being a part, email: harp@jhopfan.org

Maale Adumim

W

e were able to help again towards after-school programing for Ethiopian children living in this community. Also, we were able to help with funding towards food packages for the elderly during the lockdown. Thank you for your generous support towards Jerusalem Children’s Fund and towards JHOPFAN’s Humanitarian fund. We hope to continue to be a blessing towards all those in need.

As you give, may these children live!

Please prayerfully and generously invest in Jerusalem Children's Fund.

In doing so, you are storing your treasure in heavenly places for all eternity. But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” Luke 18:15

Jerusalem day JUNE 7, 2020

K

ing Yeshua has indeed been faithful to Israel, His inheritance, and Jerusalem, His city!

This is the sentiment that caused willing hearts to celebrate God and bring Him praise as 70 leaders from Israel gathered at the garden of Pastors Tom and Kate Hess to convene the annual Jerusalem Day of Prayer for All Nations.

Before the event, we placed an ad on the front page of The Jerusalem Post presenting 100 Global Leaders standing with Jerusalem as the united capital of Israel.

The day itself was celebrated during a breakfast fellowship, with harp music being played, as pastors and leaders broke bread together and spent most of the time proclaiming Scriptures about Jerusalem and praying for Jerusalem. Leaders and groups joined us in 120 nations.

In commemoration of the Reunification of Jerusalem, worship was offered to King Yeshua, overlooking the Lions Gate and Temple Mount, where the Israelis went through Lions Gate raising an Israeli flag and reunifying the city as capital of Israel.

Indeed, His Word in Psalm 133:1 rings true: Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

We pray for His continuous blessing and favor over Jerusalem, its leaders, and its people, as we see greater unity among the people of Israel, the congregations, and His Body in the City of the Great King!
