I arrived in Tiberias two days ago on 9-11, and am currently staying on a high mountain overlooking the Sea of Galilee, Jordan and the Golan Heights. Tomorrow morning I will be departing for Jerusalem. Within the last 24-hours, the Lord has released some key prophetic insight regarding the upcoming Peace Conference in Israel on November 15. Interestingly, when my plane departs Tel Aviv for the United States on Sept. 18, U.S. Secretary of State Rice’s plane will just be landing in Tel Aviv, where she will be discussing issues surrounding the creation of a Palestinian State prior to November peace talks.

On Rosh Hashanah – which began at sundown September 12, and ended at sundown September 13 – the world witnessed three major earthquakes in Indonesia within a 24-hour period, magnitude 8.4, 7.8 and 7.1. Residents along the seashore watched in horror as the seas retreated after the first great quake, and fled the coast before a 10-foot tsunami crashed against the shorelines. In Israel, I awoke with the vision of a greater quake shaking the United States, with large tsunami lashing against the western shores of Western America. The key to averting this judgment lies directly in prayer, repentance and intercession regarding the focus of U.S. involvement in the upcoming peace talks.

Great cities in Indonesia, America and Israel are now being weighed in the balance, and these three nations are about to experience some major judgments in 5768 if there is not immediate prayer and repentance. Israel is not immune to these judgments, and unless she repents (changes direction) from conceding covenant land given to Abraham, she will soon be engulfed in another great war. Unless America repents from pressuring Israel to concede her covenant land, she will experience a quake much larger than ever recorded in U.S. history, and the spiritual covering which protects America from attack by her enemies will be rent from the nation.

There are many issues and sins which will bring judgment upon a nation, but no sin will bring judgment quicker than cursing the nation of Israel. Although America’s intentions have been good in trying to implement peace, her methods are unbiblical. The borders of Israel – which have been laid by God, cannot be re-written by man. By pressuring Israel to concede her covenant land – reducing the security buffer which protects Israel from enemy attack – America is not blessing Israel, but cursing her. The key to canceling major judgments in America and Israel in 5768 lies not within criticizing or condemning our leaders, but peacefully praying for them and speaking godly counsel and wisdom regarding what the word of God says about the covenant land of Israel. For security reasons alone, America would not even consider giving Rhode Island away to Iranian immigrants for the sake of peace. We need to implement the same common sense with Israel. The history of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount date back thousands of years as the undisputed territory of Abraham, and to try to meddle with the land restored to Israel in 1967 as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy is not wisdom, but suicide, and virtually guarantees calamity upon a nation.

The sun has just set in Tiberias as I write this, and I can see fireworks in the distance as Rosh Hashanah ends, and the New Year 5768 begins. Our prophetic team will continue praying for peace in the Holy Land as we travel up the mountain to Jerusalem tomorrow morning. Rumors of war are echoing across the valley as Israeli warplanes just hit Syrian missile bases across the border from our location. Tonight our host showed us where the bomb shelters are in case Syria retaliates while we are in Tiberias.

Your prayers are certainly appreciated through November while I am traveling across Israel and the United States, interceding for peace and spiritual reformation in cities across these nations. My prayer is that instead of bombs being heard over our cities, explosions of the glory of the Lord would shatter the enemy’s plans for America and Israel, and revival would thunder across the land.

Blessings,

Timothy Snodgrass

The year 5768 (September 12, 2007 – September 29, 2008) will be a very busy year for us. From Jerusalem and America, I will be returning to Asia in mid-November, focusing on Indonesia, the Philippines and several Asian-Pacific nations – which are on the verge of experiencing some major seismic cataclysms, short of the Lord’s intervention. Your prayers and financial support are greatly appreciated. In our last report, we posted a need for a vehicle in America – unfortunately, many of our readers focused on prayer for the car, and forgot to send a donation in August, whereas we experienced a record low month financially. After I return from Israel to America, I will be traveling across the United States for 2 months, with very few meetings scheduled - moving from place to place as the Holy Spirit directs. Our assignment quite is simple: to cry out to God for mercy on a nation that is on the verge of judgment. If you would like to support these assignments in Israel, America, Indonesia and the Philippines, please send all love gifts to:
