When the waves rise, the call of the watchman is prayer, repentance, and preparation. In recent days something has been weighing heavily on my heart. As watchmen we are called to observe the times, bring what we see before the Father, and measure everything carefully against Scripture. The new conflict between Israel and Iran began on February 28, 2026. What caught my attention was the timing. The conflict began 33 days before Israel will observe Pesach, and at the same time the nation has entered a form of semi-lockdown. Many people are staying behind closed doors, gatherings are limited, daily life disrupted. It reminded me of the moment before the final plague described in Book of Exodus 12. The Israelites were instructed to remain inside their homes while judgment passed through the land. That night was not only about protection; it was about covenant obedience and preparation. Pesach has always been a time of removing leaven and examining the heart. As I was reflecting on these things, I remembered a dream the Father gave me exactly one week before the war began. It was Friday night, February 20. In the dream I was standing on a beach. Suddenly I saw the largest black wave I have ever seen rising up in front of me. It was so high that I could not even see the sky above it. My first instinct was to turn and run, but immediately I realized there was nowhere I could run that would save me. If that wave came down on me, I would be crushed instantly. Then I fell face down on the ground and began praying in tongues, my heavenly language. In the next moment I saw myself lying on white linen, covered with a thick layer of liquid gold. It was as if I was supernaturally protected. When the massive wave came, it rolled over me like water over oil. It could not touch me and it could not harm me. Seven days later the war began. I do not claim to know the full meaning of this dream, but the picture has stayed with me. The wave felt like a symbol of overwhelming events—something too large for human strength to escape. Yet the protection did not come from running or striving. It came from falling before the Father in prayer. While pondering this, another detail stood out. The war began 33 days before Pesach. Throughout Scripture the number 33 appears in interesting ways. Yahushua was about 33 years old when He completed His earthly mission. David ruled in Jerusalem for 33 years, establishing the throne in Zion. In Book of Leviticus 12 we also see a purification pattern where 33 days are part of a process of restoration. These patterns do not automatically create doctrine, but they do invite us to pause and ask the Father what He may be revealing. While praying about these things, the Father brought me to Book of Jeremiah 33. The chapter opens with a powerful invitation: “Call to Me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3) Jeremiah 33 speaks about healing, restoration, and the reaffirming of the covenant with David. Even in times of turmoil, the Father’s heart is to restore and cleanse His people. I am sharing these reflections not as a declaration of dates or conclusions, but as the observations of someone seeking to listen carefully. The role of a watchman is to watch, pray, and warn with humility. As Pesach approaches, perhaps the most important question is not about timelines but about our hearts. Are we removing the leaven?Are we returning fully to the Father? The dream reminded me that when overwhelming waves rise in the earth, our safety is not in running but in falling before the Father in prayer. My prayer is that He will give us wisdom, discernment, and humility to understand what He is revealing in this hour. Let us remain watchful. Prayer Abba YAHUAH,We come before You with humble hearts in this season. You are the One who sets the times and seasons, the One who raises nations and the One who restores them. Father, as Pesach approaches, we pray for the land of Israel. Let this be a time of awakening and repentance. Search the hearts of Your people and remove every hidden leaven. Turn hearts back to You and reveal Your mercy in the midst of turmoil. We lift up Jerusalem and all who dwell in the land. Be their shield and their covering. Just as You protected Your people in the night of Passover, place Your hand over every household that calls upon Your name. Father, teach us to run to You when the waves rise. Let us not rely on our own strength or understanding, but fall before You in prayer. Cover Your people with Your protection and Your presence. We remember Your promise in Book of Jeremiah 33:3 that when we call to You, You will answer and reveal great and hidden things. Give us discernment as watchmen in this hour. Keep our hearts humble and our spirits attentive to Your Ruach. Help us to prepare our hearts, remove the leaven, and walk in obedience before You. May Your covenant mercy prevail, and may Your name be glorified in Israel and among the nations. In the beautiful Name of Yahushua HaMashiach, halleluYAH! A few weeks after I wrote this blog post I came across this YouTube teaching about 33 and the alignment of time. Wow this is a beautiful confirmation. Praise ABBA YAHUAH. Shalom beloved,
