"How will we know when it's time to go?"
"Should we go to Israel this year?"
I am asked those questions over and over, almost daily. We Ephraimites are eager to get home, aren't we? I know one couple who has actually built their cart and carries it with them in their car! I know another family convinced that the sign will be the parting of the Atlantic Ocean so we can walk across! Some are going over early for short trips to help work in the vineyards of the Jewish people, showing them our love and brotherhood. But it seems ALL of us are wondering how we will hear the "whistle" of YHVH and when we will begin the journey of the Greater Exodus.
So, what is my answer when I get those questions? I can only answer for myself. Every time (thus far) that I pray and ask the Ruach if it is time to go, I hear these words very clearly: "Not yet. Hunker down in your little yellow house. When it's time, I will send for you. Wait on Me - and do not run ahead of Me."
I remember the last time I was in Israel and a very wise person said to me, "Do not go to Israel unless you are assigned to go." I know that to be true. The spiritual warfare in the Land is 1000% stronger than anything we experience here. Jerusalem is, after all, Ground Zero in the battle! It is the City of the Great King, the place where YHVH put His Name - and Satan would like nothing better than to steal and control that piece of real estate! That's why it is always the focus of world news. Jerusalem is the timepiece of YHVH's entire story.
Today a sister wrote and asked my advice on when it will be time to emigrate to Israel - and in my answer, the Holy Spirit showed me something profound. I told her that YHVH is saying, "Wait on me..." and then the scripture in Isaiah 40:31 came to mind: "Those who wait on YHVH will renew their strength. They will mount up on wings of eagles..."
Wings of eagles! Where else in Scripture do we see this Hebrew idiom but in Exodus and Revelation - in the First Exodus and in the Greater Exodus! Exodus 19:4: "You yourselves have seen what I did in Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself." Revelation 12:14: "The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the desert, where she would be taken care of for a time, times, and half a time, out of the serpent's reach."
What do "eagles wings" mean, then, but the supernatural deliverance of El Shaddai, rescuing His people first from bondage in Egypt, and then from the Luciferian New World Order? Being "carried on eagles' wings" in the Hebraic perspective is being protected and kept safe (out of Pharaoh/Antichrist's reach) - and what YHVH has done before, He will do again!
In the meantime, according to Isaiah 40:31, the way to renew our strength, clearly hear His Voice giving us the order to go, and then mount up on those eagles' wings...is to WAIT.
