A PROPHETIC PERSPECTIVE FROM JONATHAN CAHN
THE PROPHETIC CLOCK HAS NEVER STOPPED
"You will arise and have mercy on Zion for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come."
PSALM 102:13 (AMPC)
The world watches Israel as another nation caught in the currents of history. But Israel has never been just another nation. She is the nation of the covenant—the people God scattered, preserved, and promised to regather.
The prophetic clock has never stopped. It has been moving toward an appointed hour. And the words of the psalmist ring with increasing urgency:
“You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come.”
As darkness spreads across the earth and the nations shake, the restoration of Israel is not a footnote to prophecy. It is one of its defining signs. The growing hostility toward Zion is more than politics. More than ideology. Behind it stands an ancient war—a conflict that began long before our generation and has never ceased.
That is why I believe the Lord led me to reveal the mystery of The Altar of Pergamon for this hour. It pulls back the veil on an ancient mystery, even on an ancient object, that has altered the history of the world even to this day, everything from the rise of Hitler and the Third Reich, the Soviet Union and Communism, the Cold War, the near destruction of the world, and the future, what is yet to come, the last days, even a new world order. What if there was an ancient throne from which darkness has come into the nations, should it surprise us that its gaze would ultimately fall on believers, on Israel, the Jewish people, and Jerusalem—the city of the Great King, the city God chose, the city the enemy has sought to possess, and the city to which Messiah will return?
It is a mystery that has actually already impacted your life and its unfolding right now in real time and space. The battle over Zion is bound to the battle over the destiny of the world. And as the shadows lengthen, the set time to favor Zion is no longer a promise for another generation. It is unfolding before our eyes.
A LETTER FROM SID ISRAEL ROTH
GOD’S HEART IS BROKEN…
Yet the set time to favor Zion has come.
Dear Mishpochah,
I don’t believe any of us can fully comprehend God’s broken heart over the blindness that still exists toward Israel—even among many sincere believers. Especially now, at God’s appointed time to favor Zion.
I believe what happens with Israel in this generation will determine the spiritual future of the world.
ISRAEL IS GOD’S FIRST BORN SON.
“Israel is My son, even My FIRST BORN…” Exodus 4:22
When God calls Israel “My firstborn son,” He reveals something about His own heart. Imagine your own son or daughter wandering far from everything you hoped for them. Would you stop loving them? Never. Your heart would only ache more deeply. That is exactly how God describes His love for Israel.
Messiah Wept Over Israel
“...He wept over it…” Luke 19:41
Jesus didn’t simply predict Jerusalem’s future. He wept.
The Greek paints the picture of loud sobbing—not detached prophecy, but the broken heart of a Father watching His children reject the very One who came to save them.
“And as He approached, He saw the city, and He WEPT [AUDIBLY] over it, Exclaiming, Would that you had known personally, even at least in this your day, the things that make for peace (for freedom from all the distresses that are experienced as the result of sin and upon which your peace—your security, safety, prosperity, and happiness—depends)! But now they are hidden from your eyes.”
Luke 19:41-42 (AMPC)

BUT GOD COULD NEVER PERMANENTLY REJECT HIS FIRST BORN.
“Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, they may forget, yet I WILL NOT FORGET YOU. Behold, I have indelibly imprinted (TATTOOED a picture of) you on the palm of each of My hands; [O Zion] your walls are CONTINUALLY before Me.” Isaiah 49:15-16 (AMPC)
THE GREATER ADVANTAGE.
“Now if their stumbling (their lapse, their transgression) has so enriched the world [at large], and if [Israel’s] failure means such RICHES FOR the GENTILES, think what an ENRICHMENT and GREATER ADVANTAGE will follow their (Israel’s) full reinstatement!”
Most believers read that verse and move on. But think about it. If Israel’s temporary blindness opened the door for salvation to flood the nations, what will happen when Jewish people begin receiving their Messiah in mass numbers? Paul says it will bring an even GREATER ADVANTAGE to the world. Greater glory. Greater revelation. Greater harvest. Greater manifestations of God’s power than we have ever seen before.
ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED.
“And so ALL ISRAEL will be SAVED.” Romans 11:26
“And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of GRACE or UNMERITED FAVOR and supplication. And they shall look [earnestly] upon Me Whom they have PIERCED, and they shall MOURN for Him as one mourns for his ONLY SON, and shall be in bitterness for Him as one who is in bitterness for his firstborn. In that day shall there be a great MOURNING in Jerusalem...” Zechariah 12:10-11
This is our Esther moment.
We are living in a time when Heaven is aligning people, events, and circumstances to accomplish the prophetic purpose of God for Israel.
Just as Esther was raised up for her people, God is raising up His Church to stand with Israel in this hour.
TIME IS RUNNING SHORT!
Jewish hearts are opening. The Gospel is advancing. The opportunities are extraordinary. But harvest fields do not remain ripe forever. Every television broadcast... every online video... every Jewish outreach... every book placed into waiting hands... every testimony translated... every Jewish life reached... together, we are helping prepare the fulfillment of one of the greatest promises in all of Scripture:
“And so all Israel shall be saved.”
Between today and that day, millions of Jewish people still need to hear that Yeshua is their Messiah.
Whenever God prepares a harvest, the enemy tries to destroy the harvest before it can be gathered.
THIS IS JEWISH HARVEST TIME! God wants ALL ISRAEL SAVED; the DEVIL WANTS ALL ISRAEL DESTROYED.
For fifty years God has trusted me with one assignment—to tell Jewish people that Yeshua is their Messiah. There is no greater joy than seeing a Jewish person come home.
One day we will stand before the Lord and witness what Paul saw by revelation: “ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED.” What a privilege it will be to know we helped make it happen.
Yours for the salvation of Israel and the world,
Sid Israel Roth
