This last month, the Lord opened the door for six members of our HOPE team to leave the country during the war to be part of a gathering that took place in Armenia on the 20th – 25th of November with Watchmen for the Nations. The trip was a sudden decision for our team, as we were very occupied and busy guarding the Northern gate here during the war. The Lord has positioned us to stand in defense from any evil or any escalation that could increase in those days.

After seeking the Lord about the decision to travel out of the country during the war, the Lord spoke clearly about the strategic timing of this gathering in connection with the significance of the covenant of Noah and Mount Ararat at this time.

When searching the Scriptures more to check about the timing of the flood and how it ended in Genesis chapter 8, it stood out to Rania that the date the flood had ended and the ark rested on Mount Ararat was on the 17th of the 7th month in the Hebrew calendar, which is the 2nd of October in the Gregorian calendar. In Genesis 8:6 -10 it says:

Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth. 8 He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground. 9 But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself.

So 40 days after the ark rested on the mountain, Noah opened the window to release the raven and the dove. That would have been – when calculating the dates in the Gregorian calendar – 11/11. The first time the window was opened in the ark was on 11/11. Then the story continues with Noah waiting another seven days to release the dove again.

And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark. 11 Then the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.
Genesis 8:10-11

After the dove came back with the olive branch in her mouth, Noah waited another seven days to check the status of the water on the face of the earth. After the 14th day from the time the ark rested on the mountain, the water dried up.

So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him anymore.
Genesis 8:12

There were 14 days (two weeks) until the water dried up, and the sign was that the dove did not return to the ark. When looking into the Gregorian calendar again adding 14 days to 11/11, we get 25/11. This would be the day after the gathering in Armenia ends in the evening of the 24th. This timing was fascinating to Rania, as it was such a confirmation and a time set by the Lord. He made her aware that the remnant traveling to Armenia on this very place where the flood ended and the first covenant was made with mankind, will renew God’s covenant through building an altar there of united worship through the oneness of the family. Rania knew in her spirit that what will take place in Armenia will be closely connected to the war taking place in Israel, especially the fact that the campaign Hamas had started with the attack on Israel on the 7th of October was called “the flood of Al-Aqsa.” Rania sensed from the Lord that the worship and standing with the other representatives from the nations that had come to Armenia, would be a catalyst to restrain and reverse the plans of the enemy to release a global flood over the nations by igniting World War III.

Alongside the Arab Israeli family that travelled to Armenia, six members of our Messianic Jewish family joined as well in order for us to stand together in unity and renew our covenant as a family in this crisis time for Israel and the nations. Our unity as Arabs and Jews at this time in this strategic place of the most ancient covenant, Rania believes, was a turning point spiritually in order to bring vengeance on the enemy’s plans for destruction and annihilation of the Jewish people through this war. The Jewish people have shared that this was the worst massacre for them since the Holocaust!

Interestingly enough, the Armenian people have had a similar experience of a genocide, when around one million Armenians were murdered 108 years ago. The same spirit that killed the Armenian people did also kill the Jewish people in this current war – the spirit of Haman.

Our time together at the gathering was strategic and filled with worship and God’s heart for the nation of Armenia and the Armenian people, and their suffering throughout history was highlighted. There were prayers of healing and restoration, for the people of Armenia to rise up again as a bride joyful with beauty for ashes, commissioned as an Esther with a scepter in her hand and a crown on her head. This picture represents Armenia rising up for her calling with the authority God had entrusted her with.

In one of the sessions, the worship came to a deep moment of groaning, and while cries were coming out of the Armenian people as well as the global family travailing for the sake of the nation, Rania had a vision. It was a vision of the fountain of life, and you may view more the details of it here by clicking the following link: https://www.hope-nazareth.org/2023/12/05/vision-for-armenia-the-fountain-of-the-water-of-life-21-11-2023/
In another deep moment of worship, there was such a strong sound going out from the worship team, where the whole group began to push in releasing the sound of the roar of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. At that moment, the Lord took Rania into another vision where she saw the Lion of Judah roaring from Mount Ararat, and she believes this vision is very strategic for God’s future purposes for this land. You may view the whole vision here on our website: https://www.hope-nazareth.org/2023/12/12/vision-of-the-lion-of-judah-roaring-from-mount-ararat-in-armenia-22-11-2023/

On one of the days of the conference, the leadership had planned for all the participants to go on a strategic journey to visit the site from which Mount Ararat can be seen. There were around 250 people who joined. While we were gathered on that site facing Mount Ararat, lifting up strategic prayers and declarations, God was reminding us of the rainbow being a sign of His faithful covenant of mercy for the preservation of mankind, and we believe He will release authority over the remnant He has called to execute His judgments on the earth.

We are grateful to all that the Lord had released in Armenia for the sake of this important nation in God’s overall plan for redemption as well as for the nations of the earth, and we believe Israel is in the epicentre of it all as the land of the covenant!
