The coming revival will not be apart from Israel. On the contrary! As the evil one and his ministers are preparing to wrench Jerusalem from Israel (i.e. from our King Yeshua) the Lord will cause the fountain of a new revival to spring forth just exactly from that city. Oh, the marvel of His wisdom and justice! Who shall outplot Him? Who can overturn His purpose established long ago? The wicked plot to make the city of the great King their own possession. Whereas the Lord will start from that very city a revival which will sweep the whole earth. Multiplied millions of souls will be gathered into His Kingdom before the night of this age descends upon the world.

From May 21 - 27, 1996, the World Prayer Congress will meet in Jerusalem. Believers from all nations, and kindred, and people and tongue will come to worship Yeshua. This will be the first major event of JESUS 2000. The purpose of the World Prayer Congress is for spiritual preparation so that "this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then the end shall come"⁵. JESUS 2000 will allow four years to proclaim the Gospel to every person. Then, between December 20, 1999 and November 30, 2000 specific exiting dramatic events are planned.

To this agrees Acts 1:8: "But you shall receive power when the Holy spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth."

G-d birthed this year-long celebration of the life of Jesus in Israeli business men and government leaders. They asked Christian leaders to help them design the celebration, which they named JESUS 2000. The year 1996 of the World Prayer Congress has historical and spiritual significance. It is the 3000th anniversary of King David coming to Jerusalem to establish his reign. The emphasis focuses on prayer. Prayers from the Scripture will be led in unison. Each participant will have the Scripture prayers in their own language. A multitude from many denominations, nations, tribes, people, and languages will petition G-d IN ONE ACCORD, remind Him of His promises and give praise to the Holy One of Israel.

Daily sessions will be held each afternoon from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. This is the time of the evening sacrifice, the time when Yeshua gave the supreme sacrifice of His life. The gatherings will be given to prayer and will include some of the following: singing of Israeli Scripture songs, praise music, the trumpet call, banner processionals, a special keynote speaker, and united prayer time.

The call is to come to Jerusalem to help "prepare the way of the Lord and make His paths straight," and to pray with one voice, "G-d have mercy on my home, church and country, and send revival, prepare me for Your Glory - the essence of Your Presence."

People are asked to join now and fervently pray, "G-d have mercy, and SEND REVIVAL and begin with ME."

Three factors will make this World Prayer Congress the vehicle G-d will choose to spark the new revival: 1) the idea was birthed in Jewish-Israeli hearts; 2) the prayers will arise from Jerusalem; 3) the heart of it is unity and unison: between Jews and Christians, and in prayer. The Lord said, where two or more are gathered in His Name, there is He in the midst of them... and on whatever we AGREE on earth will be done by our Father in heaven. 

No great move of G-d is ever done apart from prayer!

This is a gathering for the new breed of believers --- the end time saints!

I believe this will be the most powerful, heaven-and earth moving event since the early days of the church. I believe it will kindle a fire of revival that will spread throughout the whole earth, the revival the Lord has promised to send forth from Zion. 

"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My Spirit on ALL flesh; your [Israel's] sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even upon the menservants and maidservants IN THOSE DAYS I will pour out My Spirit..."⁶.

"The house of Jacob shall be a FIRE , and the house of Joseph a FLAME , and the house of Esau [the contending usurper for the birthright and inheritance] stubble; they shall burn them and consume them..."⁷.

This move of the Holy Spirit will counter the wickedness and deception engulfing the world increasingly. He will use a rather uncompromising lot: a people who have counted the cost and say, "Here am I. Use me, Lord." The coming trials will require unyielding determination and devotion, rooted in unshakable faith!

Whoever stays put in the old "riverbed" of the former movement, looking for the Holy Spirit to fill that familiar riverbed again, will look in vain. That riverbed is full of obstructions and accumulated filth and rubbish. He is seeking out new territory for His power to flow unhindered. Sadly, millions will stubbornly insist on remaining in this riverbed. They will persecute with jealousy, envy and slander those who follow the spirit's move. May they awaken in time and hasten to do the Lord's bidding --- lest they'll become only onlookers rather than participants. 

It were 600,000 men [not counting women and children and the mixed multitude] who left Egypt for the Promised Land. YET ONLY TWO OF THAT GENERATION ENTERED THE LAND! The Lord raised up a new generation to possess the Land! The former perished in the wilderness!⁸
