Isaiah 62 Prayer Campaign

Prayer Letter for November 2026

Dear Prayer Partners,

God is building something greater than any earthly institution. His purpose is to reconcile the nations through the Messiah, unite Jewish and Gentile believers in one body, and bring His redemptive work to fulfilment. This is an encouraging prophetic picture of the future and a serious challenge to the Church today.

In Isaiah 66:22, the Lord declares: “For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the LORD, “So shall your descendants and your name remain.” God’s promise concerning Israel’s descendants and name is connected to the permanence of the new heavens and the new earth.

In Ephesians 2, Paul explains how the Messiah brings Jewish and Gentile believers together, breaking down the dividing wall of hostility and creating one new man. This unity does not erase their distinct identities but reconciles them in the Messiah as members of God’s household.

Yet Scripture also warns us about placing human traditions above God’s Word. Jeroboam established alternative places of worship at Bethel and Dan and devised a feast according to his own heart. His example reminds us that worship must be directed toward the Lord according to His truth, rather than shaped by human authority or political interests.

This provides a parallel for reflecting on later developments in Church history, particularly the Council of Nicaea and the separation of Christian observances from the Jewish calendar. We must examine religious traditions in the light of Scripture, especially when they contribute to distancing the Church from the Jewish people. Paul warns Gentile believers against arrogance toward Israel, reminding them that they do not support the root, but the root supports them.

Let us pray for a deeper understanding of God’s purposes for Israel and the nations. May the Lord remove pride, ignorance and hostility, restore an appreciation for the Jewish roots of our faith, and help the Church remain faithful to His Word rather than allowing human traditions to shape its theology.

A greater Messianic fulfilment lies ahead for Israel and the whole world. May the Lord prepare His people for that day, deepen our understanding of His Word and make us faithful witnesses to His purposes.

Blessings in Christ!
