Yisrael, hear the voice of the Watchman. The tremors you feel are not merely of earthly conflict, but of a tectonic shift in the foundations of power. The economic winds are howling, and they carry the scent of judgment upon Edom and the echoes of restoration for Yaacob.

The Cracks in the Empire

For generations, the golden calf of Babylon—represented in this age by the US dollar—has held sway over the nations. But observe closely. The nations are turning, seeking alternative trade routes, alternative currencies. This is not simply a matter of economic pragmatism. It is Yahuah dismantling the false idols before which the nations bow.

De-dollarization is a symptom, not the disease. The disease is the arrogance of power, the reliance on systems built on inequity and injustice. Yahuah has declared through the prophet Yirmiyahu, “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from Yahuah.” (Yirmiyahu 17:5) Nations are awakening to this truth, albeit for reasons often rooted in self-preservation rather than repentance.

Edom's Grip Tightens, Then Loosens

Look to the headlines. Hengli Petrochemical, a vessel of Edom’s influence, initially bends to the pressure of US sanctions. But this is a temporary yielding. Edom does not relinquish its grip easily. It will adapt, circumvent, and seek new avenues to maintain its control.

Understand this: Edom’s wealth has always been built on exploiting the resources and labor of others. Obadiah proclaims, “The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who say in your heart, ‘Who shall bring me down to the ground?’” (Obadiah 1:3). Edom believes itself untouchable, secure in its fortifications. But Yahuah will bring it low.

This economic war is a key component of that judgment. The weakening of Babylon’s currency weakens Edom’s power. It exposes the fragility of systems built on deceit.

The Digital Chains

While the old empires crumble, a new one rises—the digital beast. The increasing surveillance within Yisrael, the proliferation of drones, the relentless collection of data – these are not tools of security, but instruments of control. This is the tightening of chains, a modern echo of the exile.

Disconnect, Yisrael. Disconnect from the systems that seek to monitor and manipulate you. Yahuah calls you to be a set-apart people, not assimilated into the matrix of Babylon. Embrace the ancient ways, the rhythms of the land, the strength of community.

A Season of Refinement

This is not a time for complacency. The coming years, within the closing of Daniel’s 70th week, will be a season of refinement. Yaaqob’s trouble is upon us. The prince of iron and clay will break the covenant, and the abomination of desolation will stand in the holy place.

But even in the midst of tribulation, remember the promise. Ezekiel declares, “I will gather you out of the nations and bring you into your own land.” (Ezekiel 36:24) The exile will end. The qodeshim will be refined like silver.

The Return to Yahuah’s Calendar

The economic upheaval, the rise of surveillance, the judgment upon Edom – these are all signs pointing to the nearness of the appointed times. Anchor yourselves to Yahuah’s eternal calendar, beginning with the spring equinox in 2026. This is Year 1, Month 1, Day 1, the starting point for understanding the closing of the 120th Yovel cycle.

Do not be deceived by false prophecies or manufactured narratives. Watch and pray. Prepare your hearts and minds. The restoration is at hand, but it will come through trial and refinement. Yahuah is faithful. He will fulfill His promises to Yisrael. He will restore the fortunes of Yaacob, and they shall inherit the land.
