Chag sameach Rosh Chodesh kol beit Yisra'el and Mishpachah, a blessed New Moon Day and Happy New Year on this the first day of the first biblical month of Aviv - the Day of Blossoms! It is also the day we have elected to privately celebrate the Saviour's Birth (as observing it is not one of Father's divine moedim or appointments) both to commemorate the Incarnation when Heaven and Earth intersected for the very first time in history as the first of many steps joining the Old and New Creations together in its final resurrection form, and to ensure we don't clash with the first of the annual moedim called Pesach or Passover in 13 days' time. So a cascade of vitally important commemorations as well as stepping stones begins today, a reason I always hesitate before preparing a message to ensure that the New Year starts on the right spiritual note. Indeed I did not receive today's message until the end of the day yesterday, prevented as I had been by so much illness over much of the winter that I had begin to think it impossible that would be even able to present anything.

You do not need me to rehearse the events surrounding the terrible conflict taking place in what has come to be euphemistically called the 'Ramadan War' or the 'Second Iranian War', an act of treachery on the part of the Houses of Esau and West Manasseh in unholy allience with each other that threatens the very existence of civilization itself. That's not to say that isn't the only event marking this sudden and violent transition to a New World Order because it's actually been in the process for a very long time, certainly since I was born. Thus the birth of Yah'shua haMashiach (Jesus Christ), the Sar Shalom (Prince of Peace) in the midst of this nearly three week-long apocalyptic conflict threatening to erupt into World War III, is not only a stark contrast in worlds but actually a hope that in spite of all the evil, some good will actually come of all this. You may not realise it yet, but we are witnessing the continuing march of biblical prophetic events unfoling - not the ones being trumpeted by Evangelical Christian and Jewish zionists (both of whom are radically misinterpreting Scripture, for they see all of this as the unfolding of Armageddon and either the Second or first Coming of Messiah, respectively), but an important respite that follows the Penultimate Judgment that I have been speaking about for years.

Let us begin this message with a by now very familiar passage of scripture from the navi (prophet) Isaiah which for the last 70 years or so has come to be viewed as portending the rise and fruition of feminism and it's offshoot, post-modernism or 'wokeism', but which I would like to suggest has other meanings that you will have started recognising as coming into view right now. I'll use David Stern's Complete Jewish Bible translation for reasons that will become apparent in a moment:

"For Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) is ruined, and Y'hudah (Judah) has fallen; because their words and deeds defy Yahweh, in open provocation of His glory. Their very look witnesses against them! They parade their sin like S'dom (Sodom); they don't even try to hide it - and the worse for them! - they bring evil on themselves, say that it will go well with the righteous, that they will enjoy the fruit of their actions; but woe to the wicked, it will go badly with him; for what he has done will be done to him.

"My people - children oppress them, and women are ruling over them. My people! Your guides lead you astray and obliterate the paths you should follow.

"Yahweh stands to accuse, He stands to judge the peoples. Yahweh presents the indictment against the leaders and officers of His people: 'It is you who devour the vineyard; in your houses is plunder taken from the poor. What do you mean by crushing My people and grinding down the faces of the poor?' says Yahweh-Elohim Tzava'ot (Yahweh God of Armies/Hosts)" (Yesha'yahu/Isaiah 3:8-13, CJB).

Let us remember that prophecy is often like a spiral or a single helix having a primary meaning and echoes in other historical events either before the primary one or (usually) after the primary one. This one was uttered by Isaiah a little before 587 or 586 BC when Jerusalem fell to the Babylonians led by King Nebuchadnezzar II. In 539 BC Cyrus the Great of Persia allowed the Judahites to return after he had conquered the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Known as the Edict of Cyrus, this degree permitted the exiled Judahites living in Babylon to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Second Temple.

A strong echo of this prophecy prophecy (let's call it Echo #1) occurred 650 years later when Jerusalem fell to the Romans in AD 70, this time prophesied by Yah'shua (Jesus) Himself when yet again the temple was destroyed and looted. Jerusalem passed from Rome to Byzantium until it was conquered by the Rashid Caliphate under Ubaydah (House of Ishmael) in AD 638, 565 years later (Echo #2). 524 years after that, in AD 1099, Jerusalem fell to the Crusaders (various European Israelite Houses) (Echo #3). 88 years further on it then fell to Saladin (House of Ishmael, though he himself was actually Kurdish) in AD 1187 at the Battle of Hattin (Echo #4); and then once more, this time to the Ottoman Turks (House of Japtheth) in 1516, 325 years later (Echo #5), remaining in their hands until the British (House of Ephraim) conquered it in 1917 during the First World War (Echo #6). Thereafter it gets a little confusing because the new conqueror claimed, first, to belong to one House (the House of Judah), and then to all 12 Houses, when he actually belonged to another altogether (the House of Esau). More about that in a moment.

Now for some starling revelations [1]. When the Balfour Declaration was announced in 1917 by the British, promising the Jews their own homeland, Rabbinic Judaism was strictly opposed to this nationalistic (Zionist) idea. Edwin Samuel Montagu (1879-1924), Secretary of State for India (1917-1922), the only Jew in the British cabinet at the time, published a vehement protest against the project, insisting that not only did he consider the project harmful but that Jews should be treated as citizens of their home countries rather than as a separate nation. Furthermore, he declared that this essentially secular socialist/communist movement (Zionism) was antisemitic! You need to remember that, because the opposite is now claimed by Zionists, namely, that to be opposed to Zionism (a political rather than an ethnic idea) is 'antisemitic'. Montagu was a decent man, typical of the Jewry of the 20th century. He was opposed to his government's harsh policy toward the Turks during and after the First World War, and especially over the unjust Treaty of Sèvres, leading him to resign from the Cabinet in 1922.

Fast forward to 1948. World War II is over, Jewish settlers have been pouring in from Europe from the scene of a terrible holocaust, but their arrival in Palestine in large numbers resulted in a guerilla war between Jews and Arabs (and briefly the British too). The 'State of Israel' (originally called the 'State of Judah' but changed to 'State of Israel' when American President Truman would only recognise it as 'Israel', for reasons we shan't go into today, was officially proclaimed on 14 May 1948 when Ben Gurion made his declaration in Tel Aviv, only hours before the British Mandate ended the following day. A bitter war followed between the Jewish settlers and the surrounding Arab nations known as the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. An armistice was brokered by the United Nations in 1949 and the new Israeli Republic was admitted to the UN on 11 May of that year. The new state occupied only half of Jerusalem, the other half coming under the control of the Kingdom of Jordan. The Israelis only finally conquered the eastern part of Jerusalem duribng the Six-Day War in June 1967. And this brings us to Echo #7.

Now I think it should be obvious to all of you that these prophetic 'echoes' cannot be said to be equal. The original prophecy concerned the Kingdom of Judah. Echo #1 - the return of some of the Judahites to Jerusalem (there are still some remaining in modern-say Persia over 3,000 years later, all of whom are anti-zionists, I might add) - was most definitely strongly linked to the original prophecy. The second echo (in AD 70) was also directly linked to the House of Judah too. Thereafter Echoes #3-6 get quite weak, though #6 is definitely linked to the House of Israel. It is my belief that this particular 'echo' was specifically prediced by Isaiah because of the importance of Ephraim in the latter days. You can read about that in an article called As Birds Flying: Jerusalem 1917.

For decades Israel pretended to be an innocent country established for the protection of the Jews to prevent any more pogroms or holocausts. As it turns out, it was all a lie, for the Zionist project is much older and had little to do with the wishes of the Jews when it was established. Inherently a dispensationalist 'christian' doctrine, Zionism was always a plan to resettle the Jews of Europe, even against their will, and to dominate West Asia in the process. Today, prof. Jeffrey Sachs and prof. Yakov Rabkin are discussing the past and the future of a a racist settler-colonial political project that has become so violent in the past decade that the entire world now sees it for what it is. An irredeemable political sin. Because of very effective propaganda in the media, most people don't know that the vast majority of zionists in the world aren't Jewish but Dispensationalist Evangelicals? And most don't know that a third of those who voted for the current (2026) Moslem mayor of New York were anti-zionist Jews?

Why am I bringing this subject up today specifically? Because we are on the very cusp of World War Three and the Economic Collapse I have spoken so much about over the years and the very epicenter of all this chaos is this fake zionist country set up by the Deep State élites to counterfeit the fulfilment of biblical prophecy concerning the Second Coming of Messiah and persuade millions of Christians that the Antichrist is the true Christ and destroy the human race, the Jews included. Again, let me repeat: the vast majority of Zionists in the world aren't Jewish but (largely American) Dispensationalist Evangelical Christians. A large number of them are in the current Trump administration. This is not an unimportant fact because it means that much of the culpability for the nearly dozen wars in the Middle East since Israeli independence rests on those misguided believers who are not only encouraging the zionist state but without realising it are promoting the deep state antichrist who will arise and be accepted as a counterfeit peacemaker because of these conflicts.

The Remnant must be aware of what is going on and expose all the Enemy's lies because our real enemies aren't a particular race or nationality - real or imagined - "for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Eph.6:12, KJV) who are deceiving religious as well as secular people into blood wars of self-destruction. It deeply saddens me that Christians and Messianics are 'taking sides' in the current war between Iran and the Israeli-American coalition, not forgetting the NATO-backed Ukraine versus Russia war that is still raging, or the many other conflicts around the world. This is a huge subject that I have discoursed on many times before and don't propose to get into today other than to ask you to please pause and consider so that you are not tricked into supporting 'sides', both of which are controlled by these spiritual entities which we call demons. Our enemies are not Jews, Arabs, Iranians, Americans, or any other nationalist or ethnic group. Don't lose sight of that.

The current Middle Eastern conflict, which has already drawn in many nations and could go nuclear at any moment, is not our war. We should be praying for its end and the saving of innocent lives on all sides. This is the Christian's whole duty. For those of you listening to me today who are Americans who in good faith elected the current President, Donald Trump, hoping that he would keep his election promise to end wars instead of starting new and even more disasterous ones, understand this: this is an incredibly human and fallible man of mixed intentions and motives. No one becomes the President of the United States, or indeed of any great power, who is not controlled by someone else. I have shared with you what Yahweh shown me in visions about Donald Trump and indeed recent presidents, and I have known all along that he was compromised, that the United States and her Western allies in NATO and the European Union are being brought to judgment. I have also been shown that the Zionist State is being brought to judgment too for its excesses. I have repeatedly stated that the Republic of Israel in its present form is being brought to an end, a thought which to most Zionist Christians is unthinkable and borders on heresy, because they have swallowed the lie that it is biblical Israel restored. It isn't but is is supposed to exist, not because of Zionism but because of the people who make it up, whose identity the world does not know.

This is not a political statement on my part. I care little for politics. It is a biblical statement. Like most nations and ethnic groups, the modern Jews are a very mixed group of people. Some of them are descendents of Shem, the forefather of the Shemites or Semites (which, as I have pointed out, includes the Arabs, who are largely - though not exclusively - the descendents of Ishmael, Jacob's brother, though they two are mixed), some are descendents of Eber, the forefather of the Hebrews, some are descendants of Abraham, some of Jacob, and some of Judah. They are there in the Holy Land today and in most nations of the earth, scattered and intermarried with others throughout their long wanderings.

There are no 'pure races' any more, whatever that may mean, which I know will upset nazis and other fascists out there, not to mention white supremacists, black supremacists, and other misguided folks. The current Israeli President, if he is still alive, Benjamin Netanyahu, is a Polish Jew and a descendant not of Shem (the Semitic peoples) but of his brother, Japheth, as are the majority of Jews in the Israeli Republic. How do we know that? Because he is an Ashkenazi or Eastern Jew. You have to go no further than Genesis 10 to discover where the Askenazi come from. Listen carefully to the genealogy:

"This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah's sons, who themselves had sons after the flood. The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras. The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah" (Gen 10:1-3, NIV).

The original 12 Tribes of Israel are scattered throughout the earth and intermingled with practically every ethnic group you can think of. The Tribe of Judah in particular is likewise all mixed which is why you will find their descendants in Eritrea and Ethiopia and as far south in Africa as Zimbabwe, mixed with the indigenous black tribes. The Eritreans and Ethiopians, along with the Somalis, are particularly interesting because they are also mixed with the House of Ishmael owing to their intermarrying with Arabs. So these African nations have Semitic roots from two sides, mixed in with their Hamitic roots, a reason they look different from Bantu Africans. I cite them to illustrate just how mixed the Israelite Tribes are. So you have descendants of Judah all over the world, including Ulster in Northern Ireland, where one side of my family come from. Yes, the House of Judah is there too. It's practically everywhere, even as far east as Japan. Another long story.

How can we know who the House of Israel is in these latter days? We can't, at least not racially, because we're all mixed. And we don't need to. Yes, some genetic markers can be traced, such as some of those belonging to the Tribe of Levi, but itn't easy. Why don't we need to know? Because Israel isn't some 'chosen race'. Abraham was a Mesopotamian. He wasn't an Israelite. Neither was his grandson, Jacob, who did not become an 'Israelite' until he had overcome his flesh during his struggle at Peniel when he wrestled with a malak (angel) (Gen.32:22-32). And that's the point. To be an Israelite is to be a spiritual overcomer, literally, 'one who struggles with God'. Israel isn't a race, but a covenant of those seeking to be true followers of Yahweh. No one is an Israelite by descent, but by calling and overcoming: "...the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen" (Matt.20:16, NKJV).

The descendants of Jacob (whose name means 'deceiver' or 'cheater'), however mixed their genealogy, are Jacobites. Only those Jacobites who overcome may finally become Israelites, as may any human being in the New Covenant. The same is true of the members of all the tribes, whether Judah or Ephraim. They may be biological Judahites (Jews) or Ephraimites but they are not true spiritual Jews or Ephraimites unless they are properly surrendered to Elohim (God). Which is why we read in the Book of Revelation:

"I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars - I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you" (Rev.3:9-10, NIV).

What matters is the condition of your heart, whether you are rightly related to Yahweh or not through His Son, Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ). Just as there are true and false Christians and Messianics, so there are true and false Jews...and Ephraimites...and Benjamites. There's a true Israel and a false Israel. The true Israel is Messianic Israel, the Bride of Messiah, the talmidim (disciples) of the Eternal Melchizedek Cohen Gadol or High Priest, Yah'shua (Jesus). And there are also false Messianic Israelites...those in name only - nominals - those who are not spiritually regenerated, those who are not overcomers. Your relationship to salvation or damnation has nothing directly to do with your DNA.

And yet Israel clearly exists. It's not the Roman Catholic Church or any other 'church' or denomination claiming to be the 'continuation' of Israel. Israel is a nation, a visible group of people, defined by its laws and doctrines - the Torah, Yahweh's laws, statutes, ordinances, teaching and doctrine. But even that is not enough. To be a saved Israelite - a Messianic Israelite - you have to be in right relationship with Yahweh through His Christ persuing perfection. There aren't two peoples of Elohim (God) as zionists claim - Christians and Jews. Elohim (God) is not a schizophrenic. He is One, not Two, with one Bride, not two, in the full allegorical sense. Messianic Israel is indeed the continuation of the original Israel and Paul explains how that is so in his famous passage on ingrafting in Romans 11 which we don't have time to go into today. You'll find all the materials you need on this subject on our Israel website. The bottom line is that the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Yah'shua the Messiah, Jesus Christ, is the King of Judah and of Israel as a whole. Not Benjamin Netanyahu, not a Rothschild, and not Donald Trump.

I mentioned that there was a reason for the existence of the Israeli Republic. Yahweh did indeed permit it to come about, and for a purpose, but it's not the one zionistic Jews and Evangelical Christians are telling you it is. Our Heavenly Father is an Elohim (God) of Law, Justice and Order, not just of Grace (undeserved loving-kindness), and Esau, the brother of Jacob, was the legal firsborn. You all know the story how Rebekah, his mother, conspired with Jacob to steal the birthright, tricking their husband and father to give Jacob the firstborn blessing. Rightfully, the firstborn blessing belong to Esau, and still did in 1948 when the State of Israel was formed. Though Esau was unspiritual and carnal, it was still his legal right. And so, in 1948, gave that right to Esau - he gave him the opportunity to prove his worthiness, putting him on trial for 70 years. Though a carnal state after the flesh, the State of Israel was legitimate for a trial period of 70 years, to give the House of Esau the opportunity to prove himself. The results you see today in Gaza, Iran, and the gross immorality that saturates the Israeli State. That probation ended in 2018 or 2019, depending whether you measure modern Israels existence from the time of Ben Gurion's Declaration of Independence or its recognition by the United Nations. Ever since 2018 or 2019, the Republic of Israel has been living on borrowed time. Esau's time has run out and he is being deposed.

So, yes, there actually have been 'two Israels' - one carnal (the Edomite Israeli State in the Middle East) - and one spiritual, Messianic Israel, with the nominals and the actual overcoming Remnant, and what we are seeing now is a final fulfillment of Romans 8:14,19:

"Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation - but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it (the spiritual nature). For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Ruach (Spirit) you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Ruach Elohim (Spirit of God) are Beni Elohim (sons of God). For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Ruach (Spirit) of sonship. And by Him we cry, 'Abba, Father.' The Ruach (Spirit) ... testifies with our spirit that we are Elohim's (God's) children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs - heirs of Elohim (God) and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory.

"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. The creation waits in eager expectation for the Beni Elohim (sons of God) to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration (futility), not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of Elohim (God)" (Rom 8:12-21, NIV).

The world, and indeed true believers, have been "frustrated" by the chaos that the Israeli Republic has not only brought into the Middle East but indeed the whole world, and that is why the United States - West Manasseh - is at the heart of the present conflict [2]. Esau is fighting for his survival and losing along with its ally, the United States, which has been fooled into supporting it, and now by President Trump who was flattered by the Edomites who have issued a Temple Coin in his honour, praising him for recognising Jerusalem as the Israeli capital in 2017, a century after the Balfour Declaration made by Britain, again for reasons I don't have time to go into today (but see my series of sermons called Jacob's Trouble) which until then the world had refused to do, acknowledging Tel Aviv only. This has brought a curse upon the United States because the capital of Edom is not Jerusalem but Bozrah (Is.34:6; Jer.49:13), today called Busaira located in the southern region of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan! But that's not all. Trump has also been likened to a latter-day Cyrus, the liberator of the ancient Judahites, giving them permission to return to Jerusalem from exile in Babylon. If you go to my website, you'll see images of Trump alongside Cyrus proclaiming Trump as a liberator (see bwlow).

Whatever you may believe about Donald Trump, one thing is very clear to anyone with their eyes open - he is a pathological narcissist - a person defined by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, self-importance, entitlement, superiority, an excessive need for admiration, and a profound lack of empathy, often stemming from a fragile ego. He played right into the hands of the flattering Israelis which is why the war against Iran is today being portrayed as a religious crusade by many in the Trump administration. Trump, and those who support his action against Iran, are sorely deluded, blinded by the powers and principalities who want a Third World War, who want humanity obliterated, because Satan knows His time is short and hates both Yahweh and humanity. That is why so-called 'Israel' cannot win this war...I don't know the details of how this may pan out, Israel-Edom may gradually fade out or go out with a bang. Time will tell. But this is what is going on in the Middle East and why both Netanyahu and Trump won't make peace for now (26 March 2026). And unless the United States disentangles itself from this disaster, it will suffer greatly, not to mention the world because of the econonomic recession this war has caused. But then you know what Yahweh has said about its future. It, and its empire, like the British Empire before it (and remember it was the British who supported the Zionist State project even though the Jews of the day were resolutely opposed to it and called it 'antisemitic'), will end [3]. Indeed in the last century, we have seen the defeat of all three of the carnal Joseph Tribes - Germany (East Manasseh) in 1945, Great Britain (Ephraim) in 1956 as a result of the Suez Crisis when the USA replaced the UK as the domiant world power, and the United States (West Manasseh) in 2026 and in the years to follow. That is one reason why this New Year is such an important historical landmark.

We've not been told the truth by the nations or the churches for so long but the truth is coming out and can no longer be supressed or denied. Millions of believers have been duped, and are being duped, by the lie that Israel was restored in 1948/9. It wasn't. Edom, the House of Esau, was restored...briefly, and for a purpose that has been accomplished. He has domonstrated that he is not capable of being the Firstborn. His bloodlust has demonstrated that he is not of Jacob-Israel's spirit. A million people have already fled the Israeli State and more will follow. It will not be sustainable for much longer, a reason why I believe there is going to be a false messianic outburst among the Jews any time now. Those of you who follow Jewish affairs will know that Judaism believes in two messiahs - a Messiah Ben Joseph (whom they believe will be a warrior) and a Messian Ben David (whom they believe has the Kingly rôle, based on a failure to understand the prophecies about Yah'shua (Jesus) and His two separate comings - the first as King (First Coming) and the second as Judge (Second Coming). So expect to see a lot of messianic fervour erupting and perhaps even an announcement that the Third (counterfeit) Temple will be built. Do not be deceived. For those who may have heard, yesterday (18 March 2026) Rabbi Rosenblum in Israel declared that Netanyahu is the warrior Messiah ben Joseph and will appear today! This could trigger an 'Edomite Jihad' that results in the destruction of the Moslem Dome of the Rock on the temple Mount, triggering Global Islamic Jihad too. Anything is possible.

And so the Zionist project (not to be confused with the biblical Zion) is coming to an end. And so too are we, or have been now for some time as my mission draws to its close. By that I mean that the New Covenant Assemblies of Yahweh (NCAY), as a formal project with a 'central command', as it were, also officially ended - at sunrise this morning, just like its predecessor in 1990's. We were only ever a 'John the Baptist'-type work, preparing the way for the greater work. NCAY will continue to exist as a fellowship of independent congregations for those gathering for worship in the cities and elsewhere who want to made use of it before it is forced underground by persecution, as the first stage for the Final Gathering. My work there is essentially done, and has been for many years, in that regard, and in the remaining time Yahweh gives me I shall be focussed on the work of the Holy Order, and the Last Exodus which began in 2015, the Melchizedek Priesthood being rededicated in 2020, the year after the end of Esau's 70-year probation. There is now only one Israel - spiritual and national - in diaspora. It exists for now as independent patriarchal families [4] who fellowship together until they are called to their tribal gathering points. But that is another story altogether.

This evening we shall be having an informal servive to commemorate the Birth of the Saviour to mark - appropriately, I feel - this new beginning. We leave the previous year behind and start afresh in wonderment of what our Father is about to do. I look foeward to seeing you again. Have a blessed Rosh Chodesh and a Happy and Fruitful New Year [5]! Amen.
