Overview
This teaching marks the beginning of the biblical year 5786 (Rosh Hashanah), focusing on its prophetic significance through Hebrew numerology and scripture, emphasizing the finished work of Jesus and encouragement for believers to rest in His accomplishments.
Significance of 5786 and Rosh Hashanah
- Rosh Hashanah is the biblical “head of the year,” beginning on Tishrei 1 (September 22, 2025 – September 11, 2026, Gregorian calendar).
- The year 5786 combines the Hebrew letters “Pay” (80, mouth/declaration) and “Vav” (6, nail/connection), symbolizing proclamation and connection.
- Jewish years are counted from creation, offering prophetic insights through letter-number-symbol associations in Hebrew.
Prophetic Decade and Spiritual Themes
- The 80s decade (Pay) on God’s calendar is associated with declaration, speaking, and the power of the mouth.
- The COVID pandemic challenged the theme of speaking and breath, but believers are encouraged to continue to declare in faith.
- Key scriptures: Matthew 12:34 (“out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”) and Proverbs 18:21 (“death and life are in the power of the tongue”).
Symbolism and Interpretation for 5786 (“Proclaim the Finished Work of Jesus”)
- Combining Pay (mouth) and Vav (nail) yields the theme: proclaiming Christ’s finished work.
- Vav represents a nail, connection, and man’s efforts; the message emphasizes trusting in what Jesus accomplished—not personal works.
Scriptural Foundation of the Finished Work of Jesus
- John 19:30: Jesus declares, “It is finished,” meaning fully accomplished, paid in full.
- Colossians 2:13-15: Describes Jesus forgiving sins, erasing the law’s demands, and disarming principalities through His cross.
- The “handwriting of requirements” (the law) was fulfilled by Jesus and “nailed” to the cross, using legal language for canceled debt.
- Galatians 3:13 and 2 Corinthians 5:21: Explain redemption from the curse and being made righteous through Jesus’s sacrifice.
- Hebrews 10:9-12: The new covenant established by Jesus’s one-time sacrifice brings rest, contrasting with ongoing Old Testament sacrifices.
- Ephesians 2:6 and Colossians 1: Believers are seated with Christ and transferred into God’s kingdom, living from a place of victory.
