The Hebrew Year 5786
“The Great Shift from Heaven to Earth”
On September 22, 2025, as the sun set, the Hebrew calendar moved into a New Year – 5786 – which marked the beginning of Rosh Hashana – the Feast of Trumpets. The Hebraic year 5786 is more than a number on a calendar. It is a prophetic signpost of a “Massive Shift” unlike anything we have witnessed before. God is inviting His people to partner with Him as heaven touches earth in unprecedented ways.
The Hebrew language is one of the oldest known languages in the world, carrying with it a rich history and profound spiritual significance. So, as we are drawing near to the close of the Hebraic year of 5785, we are reminded that the emphasis of this past year has been all about grace, grace, and grace. The number five in Hebrew carried the meaning of grace and favor, and in so many ways we have experienced God’s hand of grace and favor. We have experienced Him turning situations around, setting things right side up, and bringing restoration where there was great brokenness. What once was chaos, madness, and foolishness and sometimes just pure evil, we are now beginning to see a divine reversal, a reset and a recalibration.
God, in His perfect love, has always revealed His purposes in advance to those who seek Him. The Hebrew calendar functions like a prophetic compass, giving us insight into the time and seasons. As we step into 5786, we are not just entering another year, my friends, but we are crossing into a season of profound global shift that will affect individuals, families, churches, and nations.
The Prophetic Picture in Numbers: 5, 7, 8, 6 – when viewed individually, each biblical number carries its own symbolic meaning. But when placed together – 5 7 8 6 – it’s a prophetic picture that begins to unfold.
The Number 5 is the number of grace representing God’s unmerited favor and His empowering presence. It also signifies victory and divine enablement, reminding us that completion comes not through human effort but through the grace of God.
The Number 7 speaks of completion and perfection through warfare. In Scripture, it is often tied to cycles of fulfillment, divine rest, and the completion of a spiritual journey. Through perseverance and faith, victory is secured.
The Number 8 symbolizes new beginnings, resurrection, and eternal life. It points to the transition from the old into the new, the breaking forth of a new day, and the power of renewal through Christ Jesus.
The Number 6 carries profound prophetic weight. Biblically it is associated with humankind, as humanity was created on the sixth day. In Hebrew, the letter (VAV) represents connecting, securing, and joining. It functions as a nail that fixes two things together or as a hook that draws something into place. Symbolically, it is the divine link between Heaven and Earth.
It’s a year of Divine Connections, Divine Shifts and Divine Alignments from Heaven to our Earth.
What Does This Mean for Believers?
- A call to deeper alignment: It requires living with intentionality that we must remain and abide in the Godhead so that He can lead His people into a greater oneness with His purposes from Heaven to Earth.
- New Openings and Gateways: Expect new doors to open in unexpected ways. Don’t be afraid to see some of the old breaking into the new. Be ready, willing, and able to step into new ways and to leave the old behind.
- Completion and New Beginnings Together: Uniquely, this year carries both completion (number 7) and newness (number 8). Old cycles will close so that new ones can emerge.
- Global Significance: Nations will feel this shift profoundly. Political, economic, and spiritual landscapes will not remain as they were. God is repositioning all these areas in our lives. Remember He is connecting, aligning, and joining us into Heavenly purposes here on this side of eternity.
