[Editor's note: Below is the word that Jane Hamon shared during her recent interview on ElijahStreams, which aired on September 19, 2025. We encourage you to read through it and watch the episode right here.]
Each year, during the Hebraic feast of Rosh Hashanah, prophetic voices still themselves and listen to the voice of the Lord for the year ahead. Rosh Hashanah, known also as the Feast of Trumpets, is the beginning of the Hebraic year. This year marks the beginning of the year 5786—or the year of "pei vav" (86). This will be a year when an open Heaven connects and transforms an open earth.
The Decade of Voice Wars
First, let's look at the decade we are in. We are in the decade of pei, which is the Hebrew letter that has the numerical value of eighty, but it also signifies the mouth, voice, and sound. I believe we are in a key season in which there is a war over the voice, making the release of the prophetic anointing all the more important and powerful.
Psalms 29:4 declares, "The voice of the Lord is powerful." The word "powerful" in this verse literally means "force" (Strong's 3581). The voice of the Lord is a force!
Isaiah 30:31 says tell us that the voice of the Lord shatters the enemy.
The enemy is terrified of what happens when God's people put His Word in their mouths! When we praise, pray, prophesy, and proclaim, things shift. There is power in our words.
I believe this is what we see happening in culture as part of our current warfare season:
• The war over souls: Who shall be saved?
• The war over worship: Who is being worshiped in any nation or system?
• The war over supply lines: Who is controlling the money?
• The war over structures: Who is making the laws and setting the agenda?
• The voice war: Who controls the narrative?
I believe these issues of spiritual warfare are what contributed to the recent death of Charlie Kirk, who took on cultural and spiritual strongholds, and through his voice, challenged the powers and the narratives, winning hearts and minds for the Kingdom. He was a bold reformer, a voice to nations and generations. He directly confronted antichrist ideologies that contradicted Biblical truth.
What has been even more shocking has been the vitriol and exposure of death culture upon his assassination, or I should say martyrdom.
What was at issue? He was killed because some didn't like the words he spoke.
There is a voice war raging in American culture, and other nations and cultures in the earth. Charlie Kirk was a general in that cultural conflict. He was a prophetic voice, crying in the wilderness of college campuses, declaring, "Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight paths" (see Isaiah 40:3). He was neither a racist nor a bigot, but a bold voice of transformation, reformation, and restoration of Biblical values and truth. His death, rather than silencing his voice, will cause hundred—perhaps thousands—of reformers to arise with the Word of the Lord in their mouths, winning hearts and minds for the Kingdom cause.
5785: The Previous Year of Pei Hei
As 5785, the year of pei hei (85), comes to an end, it's important to see how it has prepared us for what is ahead. The letter hei signifies a time of revelation and divine breath. Hei means to "look" or to "behold," and when it is written in Hebrew, it looks like an open window with wind blowing through it. What a prophetic picture of the breath of God blowing upon His people, bringing dead, dry bones back to life!
In Scripture, the breath or wind of God is linked to things being awakened. God breathed into Adam (Genesis 2:7), and he awakened as a man. After his resurrection, Jesus breathed on His disciples and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit" (John 20:22), awakening them to their mission in the earth. In Acts 2, God sent the sound of a rushing, mighty wind, and breathed life on His Church as they were filled with and empowered by the Holy Spirit. (Photo via StockCake)
I believe God has been sending His divine breath to awaken, refresh, and empower us for all that is ahead. Barna Research, in its article "The State of the Church 2025," sites that in the past four years, there has been a twelve percent increase in those who say they have a meaningful relationship with Jesus, with those numbers being even higher in young Millennial and Gen Z men. We have a revival taking place all over the nation!
Twelve percent of the US population could amount to as many as 42 million new Believers in Christ! It's not just a revival; it's an awakening! God is breathing on the dry bones of our nation, and an exceeding great army is awakening to follow Christ.
In early 2025, the Lord said to me that this would be the beginning of a "Golden Age of Awakening" and a "Renaissance of Righteousness." We are seeing this happen before our eyes. What an exciting time to be alive! (To read more on this, click here.)
Breaking Belial's Hold
At the same time, the wind of God is blowing; adverse winds, contrary winds, have also been blowing. So many have said it has been one of the most challenging seasons of their lives. I believe there has been an assignment of a spirit of Belial against godly men and women. The Hebrew word "Belial" (Strong's H1100) is often translated to wicked men, troublemakers, etc. But the root of the word derives from the word "balah" (Strong's H1086), which basically means to cause you to fail by wearing you out!
So, if you have felt worn out in this last spiritual season, receive the fresh breath of God to revive you, refresh you, and restore you to full function. Break the power of Belial and every spirit of weariness that wants you to retreat, withdraw, or quit. Be filled with the Holy Spirit afresh and anew, and arise as part of God's army of transformation, ready for all that is ahead. Decree Job 33:4: "The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life" (NKJV).
5786 (Pei Vav): Connecting Heaven and Earth
In this upcoming year of pei vav, God is listening to all that our voices are proclaiming. Vav is the sixth letter in the Hebraic alphabet and, when drawn, looks like a hook, a nail, or a stake. It is a symbol used to connect what has come before to what comes after. When the scribes would copy the Scripture onto scrolls, each completed scroll would be marked with a Vav, signifying that scroll was connected to the one before and the one after.
The first occurrence of a Vav in Scripture is in Genesis 1:1. The sixth word, in Hebrew, begins with the letter Vav and is the word "and"; "God created the heavens and the earth."
A key Scripture is Isaiah 45:8: "'Rain down, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness; let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together. I, the Lord, have created it'" (NKJV). While we all pray for an open Heaven, more and more we will see the tangible manifestation of that in an open earth. Salvation, reformation, and transformation will be the narrative of the year ahead. Watch for college campuses, businesses, and even cities to be swept by awesome outpourings of the Spirit of God with signs, wonders, and miracles. (Photo via Pexels)
In nature, rain, lightening, and rainbows are symbols that connect the heavens and the earth. Rain prepares the harvest. Lightening can be a symbol of the clash of kingdoms (Jesus said, "I saw satan fall like lightning from Heaven," Luke 10:18). And a rainbow is a symbol of God's amazing covenant with mankind and the earth declaring, "Your storm will not have the last word!" Rainbows are also pictured around God's throne, signifying times of heavenly encounters.
The Cross of Christ, Our Vav
Jesus came to earth for the purpose of reconnecting Heaven and earth. He came from Heaven, representing the heart of the Father to humanity. He healed the sick, cast out devils, and preached the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven. Sin had separated mankind from God, but through the shedding of His blood on the cross, Christ became our "vav," granting access to all who would believe. The cross was the vav that connected Heaven and earth, God and man. At that moment, the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom, from Heaven to earth, signifying the removal of separation and granting access to God's throne of grace. The cross was a symbol of Heaven's holiness meeting man's brokenness and changed the course of history.
Vav: Our Weapon to Defeat the Enemy
This year we must be willing to engage in warfare against our spiritual enemy. This is not a battle against people (flesh and blood) but is a tipping point of battle against the enemy of our souls. We see the vav pictured in Judges 4 in the form of a tent peg or nail in the hand of Jael. She drove this nail, the vav, through Sisera's temple, the commander of the Jabin's army, who was the king of Canaan. King Jabin was the sworn enemy of Israel, and his name meant "intelligent" or wise one. Yet he was wise in his own eyes, opposing God and operating in false wisdom, which created mental and spiritual oppression in the people of Israel. This is a year to see Jabin's oppression defeated in each of our lives.
We also see the vav in Isaiah 22, when a false, presumptuous, ungodly leader named Shebna ruled in Israel. God removed him and raised up Eliakim, whose name means "whom God raised up." God gave him the key of David that opens and no man can shut, and shuts and no man can open. And God said that He would fasten him as a nail in a sure place, indicating a new season of righteousness and establishment. God will remove the "Shebnas" from positions of influence in government, education, media, entertainment, and, yes, even the Church, and raise up those whose hearts are prepared and pure.
Finally, the nails, which were more likely spikes, were used to crucify Jesus, being driven into His hands and feet. Nails can represent the permanence and irrevocable nature of the sacrifice of love which Christ made for us. These nails secured our salvation, redeeming the work of our hands, so we can lay hands on the sick, bless others, work righteously, and minister to others. These nails redeemed our walk in the spirit, enabling us to tread on serpents and scorpions and carry the Gospel to nations, walking in dominion.
Angels on Assignment: Help Is on the Way!
Another significant aspect of connecting Heaven and earth is angelic activity, which is on the rise in spectacular ways in this season. In Genesis 28, Jacob saw a ladder stretching from the earth up to Heaven with angels ascending and descending upon it. In the New Testament, Jesus said we would see angels ascending and descending upon the son of man (John 1:51).
Hebrews 1:14 says that angels are sent to assist those who are to inherit salvation. Angels are messengers, protectors, and warriors who are sent to help members of God's Ekklesia to see Kingdom purposes fulfilled. Isaiah 41:27 says, "I was the first to tell Zion, 'Look! Help is on the way!' I will send Jerusalem a messenger with good news" (NLT).
So, be aware if you need help; God may send a person, or even an angel, to help you break through. Decree, "My help is on the way!" (Photo via Pexels)
Daniel 10 gives us a clear picture of heavenly warfare involving angels. Daniel had been fasting and mourning for three weeks when an angel came. The angel said that he'd begun to come to him as soon as he'd prayed because of his words, but he had been confronted by the prince of Persia who withstood him, delaying him. The archangel Michael had to come and contend with this demonic prince so he (presumably Gabriel) could deliver God's message to Daniel. This is going to be a time of tremendous breakthrough against delay as heavenly hosts are fighting for us. Answers are on the way!
A few years ago, Pastor Greg Catalano was leading prayer on a Sunday morning. He stopped and said, "God says it is time for us to learn to dance the dance of the Mahanaim." He said, "I don't even know what that means." But that morning, I had read Genesis 32 in which Jacob was returning to his land of inheritance after twenty years with Laban. As he crossed into the land, he met a company of angels and named the place "Mahanaim" (Strong's H4266), which means "two camps" or two armies.
We must realize there is an army on earth—God's Church, His Ekklesia—who are on assignment to bring His Kingdom into the earth. But there is also an army in Heaven, an angel army, under the command of the Captain of the Lord of Hosts. They are being deployed to help us fulfill our assignment. We need to learn to dance with them. When we move, they move; when they move, we move. Lord, show us how to dance the dance of the Mahanaim!
We are God's "Vav" in the Earth
Jesus came to be our vav to connect Heaven and earth. The vertical arm of the cross connected God and man. Jesus taught us to pray, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven" (Matthew 6:10 KJV). The horizontal arm, however, signifies our responsibility to connect with humanity. Jesus challenges that we were to do greater things than He did, healing the sick, casting out devils, and preaching the Gospel. As He was our vav connecting us to Heaven, we are to be His vav, connecting all He has given us to others.
Your Voice Is a Vav, Pulling Heaven Down to Earth
We are anointed to be God's "vavs," to hook up with Heaven and pull it into the earth realm. Psalm 119:89 declares, "Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in Heaven" (NKJV). There are things that are already settled in the heavens, according to God's decrees, that must now be legislated in the earth. We must learn to pull Heaven down! We must pull down through our obedience, through prayer, through our decrees, through prophecy, and even through prophetic acts.
Know this: your voice is a vav! Open your mouth and decree: My healing is settled in Heaven. My healed marriage is settled in Heaven. My miracle is settled in Heaven. My legal issue is settled in Heaven. My financial breakthrough is settled in Heaven.
A Year to Stake Your Claim
As a Hebraic vav is a picture of a stake, I am reminded of a historic scene from history which demonstrates the spiritual season we are in.
On April 22, 1889, in Oklahoma, thousands of pioneers (often called the "Boomers" and "Sooners") lined up expectantly, hoping to claim territory for their future. As the cannon fired, they raced into vast unassigned lands in central Oklahoma to stake their claim for future homesteads. I believe the Lord is saying that this is going to be a year where we prophetically put a stake in our spiritual ground to claim our inheritance and our portion, securing a future for our generations. It's time to see our towns, cities, and nations claimed for the Kingdom of God, fresh and anew in this new season. It's time to stake our claim, and take back what the enemy previously stole! It's time to join Heaven and earth, and see God's Kingdom come, transforming lives, legacies, and lands.
