2025 will be a season of reprieve — the Hezekiah moment where YHWH is summoning us for a time of consecration, strengthening and preparation so that we will be ready to run with horses (Jer. 12:5).
3 words set the context of the Hezekiah moment:
1. SHIFT
We have witnessed dramatic shifts in every arena since COVID-19. By 2030, we will see an accelerated acceleration unto the eschatological narrative according to Scripture (Psalm 2 crisis, Matthew 24 birth pangs, Daniel 12 troubles).
2. SHAKE
We will witness even more intense shakings in the coming decades (Hag. 2:6–9).
3. SHAPE
Much of what we talked about pertaining to the End-of-the-Age will be taking shape by the coming decade. One of it will be the rise of the Harlot Babylon and also a reset to a one world economy. I know this is a big statement, but I believe that the decade of the 2030s is setting the stage for the time of the end.
Yet the ultimate heart of God is to SHAPE UP His people so that we arise as the John 17 generation:
- to withstand the coming eschatological storm;
- to create an eschatological impact;
- to partner with Jesus for the eschatological revolution.
To understand the Hezekiah moment, we have to know the life of King Hezekiah, what he did, and how he responded to YHWH. (2 Kings 18–20; 2 Chron. 29–32; Isa. 36–39)
King Ahaz, the father of King Hezekiah was an evil king who led Judah into the worship of Baal and apostasy. When King Hezekiah succeeded him, he caused Judah to return to YHWH; he restored temple worship and Passover; he brought reform to Judah.
Our required responses in this Hezekiah moment:
1. RETURN
God is bringing us through a time of consecration by fire unto wholeheartedness, holiness, and walking in the fear of God. The Spirit of God specifically highlighted Rev. 3:2–3; 3:18–20 and 2 Cor. 6:14 – 7:1.
2. RESTORE
God will specifically restore true worship among God’s people and also the Mo’ed (especially the Sabbath, Passover and Feast of Tabernacles) back to centrality.
3. REFORM
God will bring forth another reformation in the Church of Jesus Christ so that we will become the new wineskin for the coming new wine.
It’s important to note that King Hezekiah became complacent, proud, and also compromised, which resulted in God’s judgment. Yet YHWH gave him a reprieve after he repented. However, he didn’t make full use of the reprieve initially, which nearly resulted in another judgment of God (2 Chron. 32:24–26).
3 key prayers to pray: Psalm 91, Songs 8:6 (which is the fire of God), and Colossians 1:9–12.
It is vital for a rightful, aligned, and intentional response. Breakthrough is on the horizon!
