Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim
Continuing the journey to the seven mountains of Israel, six Jewish and Arab women traveled to Mount Kabir in the region of Elon Moreh. Mount Kabir is 745m above sea level and to the north-east of Shechem. This mountain is surrounded by Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim, the mountains from which the tribes of Israel were instructed to pronounce blessings and curses in Deuteronomy 27. This was a continuation of the journey that had begun in 2019, following God’s prophetic word to Rania (7 Mountains Vision).
Mount Kabir has a view overlooking the river of Tirzah. Tirzah was one of the five daughters of Zelophehad who received an inheritance in Israel (Numbers 27). We prayed over Shechem and the entire region, asking God to release blessings from Mount Gerizim. We asked God for the harvest in this area and for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit – our visit was a few days before Pentecost.
We took communion together and declared that the Lord would remove any curse of bloodshed over the land and replace it with a blessing from both Jew and Arab. That morning, I, Rania had been awakened at 4:44 am. I understood that the Lord was asking me to declare the return of his glory from the northern gate:
“Then the man brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple. I looked and saw the glory of the Lord filling the temple of the Lord, and I fell facedown.”
Ezekiel 44:4
We also declared:
“For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.
They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams.”
Isaiah 43:3-4
