DEAR FRIENDS,
ON OCTOBER 7—THE DAY THE ISRAEL WAR IGNITED—friends in Abilene Texas stunned us. Right in the middle of the Spirit of Elijah Summit, they were directed by the Lord to present to Jolene and me a sacred gift from their father’s inheritance. THEY GAVE US PAUL REVERE’S LANTERN.

Actually the lantern is an exact reproduction of the original lanterns that hung in the belfry of Old North Church on April 18, 1775, the night of Paul Revere’s ride. This special lantern was created for the 1976 Bicentennial, in conjunction with the Old North Church. 

Revere’s lanterns, of course, became “signals intelligence” conveying an invasion by the British to the legendary “Midnight Rider.” But more than this, the burning lamps signaled an unprecedented demarcation in history. Revere rode and SOUNDED THE ALARM through the midnight hour. A slumbering army was awakened. A revolution was ignited. A freedom nation was born. NO KING BUT JESUS!

This was the first time Jamie Fitt, Ed Watts, Jolene and I had come together since the Spirit of Elijah tour through Israel. And during the summit, as reports of the horrific atrocities against Israeli citizens continued to pour in, we realized that we were in the midst of another history-defining moment. 

Note: We are joining together again, along with Chris Mitchell, for Revolution 2023 beginning the first night of Hanukkah. Sign up now!

The Lord had earlier spoken to each of our team beforehand, in a very unique way, about what was now before our eyes. Jamie received a key warning dream. Ed received a word back in January that on the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, a “glory war” would break out that would end in victory for Israel. This word, shared over our Yom Kippur broadcast, was precise to the very day. 

And on the last day of the Spirit of Elijah Tour, Jolene and I received a Lion of Judah shofar at Yad Vashem. Israel’s holocaust museum. We knew Israel and America both faced an existential threat.

Then on October 7 came the Revere lantern. This priceless gift made clear to us that a demarcation in history similar to Revere’s ride, similar to 9-11, was at hand. Potentially even a midnight hour for western civilization. 

Midnight Hour! Jolene at Armageddon
“What is coming on the earth is a midnight hour. The darkest hour for Israel and America in your era.” The Lord spoke this phrase to Jolene on the summit of Tel Megiddo, otherwise known as Armageddon, on December 9 0f 2022. We were there praying. She saw a vision of a large grandfather clock superimposed on the Megiddo Valley, or Jezreel Valley, directly below. The clock was at 10 minutes to 12. Ten minutes to midnight. 

It’s haunting that exactly 10 months later, almost to the day, Hamas attacked Israel. Was the Lord saying that the ensuing 10 months represented the 10 minutes of the clock? We cannot really say. But 

Jolene was praying over a word by Chuck Pierce when she received the vision. She was seeking God about Chuck’s message that on December 10, God was shifting the prophetic movement on a global basis. Note that on December 10, we picked up the “Spirit of Elijah” mantles at the Jordan River as a prophetic action. 

That was part of Chuck’s word. But the vision Chuck saw that triggered the word showed him a pot beginning to boil over and pour out. The strongest biblical reference to this vision would actually be Jeremiah’s prophetic experience, recorded in Jeremiah chapter one. What do you see, Jeremiah? The prophet responded that he sees a boiling pot begin to be poured out from the north. The interpretation was that evil would break forth from the north across the land. 

Tel Megiddo is in the north. The Jezreel Valley actually forms a bridge between northern and central Israel. 

War from the North—Tipping Point?
At the moment, Israel’s war is largely contained within Gaza. It has already been made clear that if Iranian proxy Hezbollah fully engages, the United States would consider it a directive from Iran and would enter the war accordingly. Two massive carrier groups have been sent to the shores of Israel to back up this promise. 

That said, Hezbollah and Iran are of course from the north. Same with Russia, which has declared its alignment with Iran and told the world that Israel has no right to defend itself. 

Our prayer is that the war can be contained, and a new beginning for Gaza ensues. If a broader war envelops the north, World War III is a probability. Either way, Israel and America have entered into a midnight hour. 

The good news is this. It’s actually at midnight when God’s army is summoned to its greatest destiny. And the God of Israel will indeed answer by fire. Remember Gideon, whose army blew their shofars and lit their lamps in the midnight hour. Remember Elijah’s fire. Remember John the Baptist, who was described by Jesus as “the burning and shining lamp.” 

And remember Jesus’ parable of the midnight hour. Recorded in Matthew 25, He spoke about a season of delay and frustration in which many of His people would fall asleep waiting for the Bridegroom. But at midnight there would be a sound. A voice of breakthrough. An awakening. A turnaround. Multitudes will light our lamps in an incredible move of the Spirit that unimaginably brightens the darkened landscape. 

Eventually Jesus returns. But until then, LETS KEEP OUR LAMPS BLAZING!

Revere Prophecy—Cindy Jacobs
Let me end with this. In 1998 an unknown prophet in Kansas City prophesied that I was a spiritual Paul Revere, holding out a burning lamp, and running from city to city. Instead of saying, “The British are coming, the British are coming, I would be declaring, “The Lord is coming!”

In the year 2000, Cindy Jacobs brought me into her office and prophesied word for word the exact same prophecy. She prophesied it again to Jolene and me a few years later. Interestingly, she added one phrase. Everywhere you go, revival will break forth.

I believe the Revere lantern, given on the date Israel’s war began, is a sign of this new season. The alarm, my friends, has already been sounding. 

All that said, tend your lamps. 

And please consider joining us for Revolution 2023, when the first night of Hanukkah intersects with the 82nd anniversary of WWII.
