When calendars align it is a sign, but what is the sign saying? Where is the sign pointing to? These are questions we need to ask, not just assume answers to. Genesis 1 says, the Lord put the sun, moon and stars in the sky for signs and for seasons. The Hebrew people saw the celestial bodies (sun, moon and stars) as their calendar so they knew what time it was. Friends, we are alive today during an alignment of the likes I am not even sure how to process properly.

Hanukkah and Christmas both landed on the same day last year. Now today, the New Moon and the New Year are happening on the same day. The New Moon is the day the Hebrews knew it was a new month and the month that just began on the Hebrew calendar is the month of Tevet, the 10th month and for them it is the 5785 year. For us it is the 1st of January, the first month and the year is 2025. The alignment is two first months beginning on the same day doesn’t happen often, but then the Lord shows me this…

Rabbi Jason Sobel said, 5785 is the year of the open window, so I start reading in Genesis 7 where the first mention of the word window is. It is the windows of heaven that open to pour out rain on the earth in the days of Noah, to bring judgment on the wicked and redemption for the righteous. But as I keep reading, Genesis 8:5 (5785 hint hint) says, “And the waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.” This is today!!!!!

I started shouting, on this 10th month, first day in the Hebrew year 5785, so 1 Tevet 5785 (January 1, 2025) in Genesis 8:5 it says, the tops of the mountains were seen! This is huge, the Lord is saying to us, the judgement is past, the waters are receding, the tops of the mountains are revealing hope that a new day has begun. Not just a new year, a whole new day, a new way, same mandate, “And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.” (Genesis 9:1) but a new way.

Friends, the tops of the mountains are revealed, in this year of the open window, the year of open eyes, the year of open mouth, the year of open hands, God is saying to us today, “Can you see the tops of the mountains?” We made it through the flood. “You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.” (Psalm 66:12). The windows are open, the abundance is coming down and we are going to build the kingdom a new on earth again. Let’s go!!!!
