From December 15-19, there was a strategic gathering of Arab and Messianic Jewish leaders , as well as hundreds from the nations. We gathered at the Nazareth Golden Crown Hotel overlooking the Jezreel Valley. This gathering was called Welcoming the King of Glory. The theme of this year’s gathering was One New Man. I had the privilege to be part of the leadership group praying and walking in unity with our Jewish family.

During the gathering, there were several historic moments that I believe had great spiritual implications and impact. On the second day of the gathering, the leadership arranged to go up to Mount Precipice for a prophetic act of repentance for rejecting the Lord Jesus in His hometown and welcoming Him back to His home, as well as to the nation of Israel. I believe this was a historic moment as I have prayed for this for at least 17 years. After doing many prophetic acts of prayer and repentance as an Arab native in the Land, I prayed and waited for the time when our Jewish family would come to do this very act and welcome the Lord back into His hometown. I believe this opened a gateway in the Spirit over the city of Nazareth for a great harvest to be released as well as for the salvation of all Israel acknowledging their Messiah – Jesus from Nazareth!

I was also asked to do a workshop about the Arab people during the gathering where I spoke about the prophetic destiny of the Arab people.

On the third day of the gathering, the Lord led the leadership to do an act of repentance for holding women back and released the women into their full destiny. This was a historic act to happen in the city of Nazareth, with representatives from Jewish, Arab and International men standing united as they surrounded the women in the hall and blessed them as in the book of Ruth.

Then all the people who were at the gate and the elders said, “We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman, who is coming into your house, like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel. May you act worthily in Ephrathah and be renowned in Bethlehem.”

Ruth 4:11

On the fourth day and last night of the gathering, one of the Arab leaders felt that something wasn’t complete in the repentance that happened on the mountain. He felt that the Arab leaders had another act of repentance they should confess. This was the rejection of our Jewish family and the everlasting covenant the Lord made with the people of Israel and the grafting of the wild branches (Gentiles) into the olive tree. This was a profound act of repentance and acknowledgment of the prophetic destiny of the Jewish people from their Arabic family. During the repentance, the Jewish leaders responded with deep appreciation and love. They prayed over us and acknowledged the place of the Arab family in God’s plan for Israel and the Nations. This was an incredibly powerful moment and declaration from the city of Nazareth, which is the considered to be the biggest city populated by Arabs in the land!

We have witnessed history being made, and a birthing out of the ancient womb of Nazareth. One New Man rising and His family reuniting in humility and genuine love!
