“Haman recounted to his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him. His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “Since Mordecai, before whom you have begun your downfall, is of Jewish descent, you won’t be able to stand against him. In fact, you will certainly fall before him!” Esther 6:13 TLV
Shalom, beloved delegates and members of UNIFY,
The scripture that came to me is from the Book of Esther, when Mordechai was being elevated, and Haman began to fall before him. Haman’s wife, Zeresh, said to him: “Since Mordecai, before whom you have begun your downfall, is of Jewish descent, … you will certainly fall before him!”
But today, I see the opposite spirit at work—“If the one before whom you fall is of Muslim descent, then great will be your downfall.” It takes me back to my prophecy from 2009, which, as we see, is beginning to come to pass. And it’s better if we are aware of that fact, so we are not caught off guard. In that prophecy, the Lord said:
“America, America, you are like a blind Samson. You have been blinded by immorality and by going to bed with the Philistines—the enemies of My people, Israel.”
When the president of America vowed and promised to the Arab nations that Judea and Samaria will not be under Israel’s sovereignty, and gave more importance to his promise to the Arabs above God’s promise to Israel, it became dangerous.
Indeed, the Islamic invasion of America has begun. The fall of New York into the hands of a Muslim mayor is not a light matter. Yet, the Lord said in the Samson Prophecy, “If you cry out to Me, I will strengthen you one more time, and I will give you a revival one more time, and it will be a costly revival.”
We are at this point; President Trump is compromising with the enemies of our people, Israel. As much as he has been a great help to Israel and meant well, he has fallen on the issue of Judea and Samaria once again. Our president has “gone to bed” with the “Philistines” (Palestinian cause) because of his love for deals and money, and because of the self-importance of being “a man of peace.” We can ask Yah’s forgiveness, but we know that judgment is already here. The mere fact that we already have three areas in America: Dearborn, Michigan, New York, and Virginia, where Muslims are ruling, is already the testimony of two or three by which everything will be established.
Three Paths
In a vision, I saw three lanes—three spiritual paths:
- The Left Lane (Democrats) – moving into alignment with Islam through the Dawa, the soft form of invasion that comes through influence and education, preparing the way for jihad.
- The Right Lane (Republicans) – slowly falling into Christian or conservative anti-Semitism, as seen in figures like Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon.
- The Middle Lane (The Narrow Path) – the holy remnant of believers walking according to God’s covenant.
The far right and far left are spiritually converging—united in their opposition to Israel and God’s purposes. But the middle lane represents the nation within the nation—those who will seek the truth, humble themselves, and return to God. We can do nothing about the far right or the far left. It’s part of the judgment of YHVH for America, and we’d better not waste our breath on them. But we can do a lot concerning the middle narrow path of the Holy Remnant, and it is there that the divine reset will happen. When America is brought to its knees amid division and chaos, those in the middle lane will recognize the need for repentance. God will meet them there, strengthen them once more, and bring one final revival—though it will come with persecution and even martyrdom
The Shofar Marathon: Herald of a Divine Reset
As we continue to blow the shofar across all 50 states, we are declaring a divine reset—a Spiritual Jubilee. But remember, Jubilee is not always pretty; it is also a time of judgment where everything that is not aligned with God is exposed. As the United Nations for Israel, our mission is to call as many as possible into that middle lane, the narrow path, which is the Gospel made in Zion—so they may walk rightly, pray effectively, and experience Yah’s grace and revival in the midst of judgment.
Beloved, as prophetic people under the spirit of Elijah, we need to understand that we have only one job to do. We’ve got to do His will, whatever His will looks like. We must obey God completely and leave the results to Him. Like Jeremiah and Ezekiel, we are called to speak and warn, not to carry the weight of how people respond. Let us stay faithful, united, and undistracted—focused on Yah’s will, not the outcome. As we release the voice of truth across this nation, may the Lord give us strength, joy, provision, and unity. For it is in unity—in Yachad—that Yah commands the blessing: life forevermore for all those who will come to the middle lane.
Father in Heaven, thank You for showing us clearly that America is under judgment. Yet You always preserve a remnant. Strengthen the holy remnant in every state. Equip us to stand firm amid tribulation. Draw Your faithful ones into the narrow road—the road of the King, Derech HaMelech. Help us not to be distracted by political agendas from the right or the left, but to walk steadfastly with You. If there is still a chance for leaders like Trump to return to the narrow path, open their eyes.
Like Samson, may they, even in weakness, bring down the pillars of deception and idolatry in this land. We give You praise, honor, and glory, trusting You to move through Your people, through every shofar blast, every prayer, and every act of obedience—in Yeshua’s mighty name, Amen.
GRM Updates
Our GRM student groups and our Prison Ministry are growing and multiplying. Our new short course, the UNIFY Course, is now available exclusively for UNIFY members. It has now been officially launched, and we have begun advertising it. This is a free course designed for members of the United Nations for Israel only, and all UNIFY members are requested to take it.
The importance of this course cannot be overstated, especially in light of the current intense spiritual climate opposing the Jewish people and their homeland. Israel truly is the prophetic time clock of the nations, and judgment for how it has been treated is soon to come.
This course helps us understand how to truly align with Yah’s heart for His chosen people and how to become like Ruth to Naomi—those who say, “Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.” Through Dr. Dominiquae Bierman’s strategic insights, you will learn how to stand with Israel amid hostility, align with the true Gospel made in Zion, transform our own lives, and have an eternal impact in our nations. You will also learn how to cooperate with His holy agenda in this season of shifting nations.
This is a very important course. Its content comes from the UNIFY Field Manual written by ArchBishop. Participants must also sign the Unify Manifesto, complete the quizzes, and they will then receive a printable certificate.
All UNIFY members are strongly encouraged to take this course. We will soon be translating it into different languages and adding it to each member’s UNIFY page, so those who do not speak English will also have access.
HOMEWORK: We strongly encourage every UNIFY Member to take our New UNIFY Course, which is free and available now. It will strengthen and prepare you to operate as a fearless Soldier of Yah, carrying out His holy agenda in this Prophetic season of nations being sifted.
Reports from the Nations
“Behold My servant, whom I uphold. My Chosen One, in whom My soul delights. I have put My Ruach on Him, He will bring justice to the nations. Behold, the former things have come to pass, Now I declare new things. Before they spring forth I announce them to you.” Isaiah 42:1, 9 TLV
A Call to Divine Realignment
Apostle Markita Brooks, USA
My son, Joshua, and I participated in the Sukkot Tour, which proved to be life-changing for us both. There, I was ordained again as an Apostle by Archbishop and installed as the Vice Delegate for the USA to UNIFY. Since I have been back in the USA, I have been communicating with Archbishop about moving forward with UNIFY USA. I’ve also updated the Zoom link for the UNIFY USA Pre-dawn Prayers and begun to open the Zoom for them. Additionally, I have reached out to the Americans on our email list to invite them to attend Abba’s House and to participate in my GRM group, starting in January 2026, and I’m communicating with individuals who wish to connect with UNIFY through the USA email account.
The Lord has made clear to me that His people in the USA must align with His Kingdom and call our government into alignment with the Kingdom of God, so that God will manifest in the US. For this reason, I am planning “Ecclesia 2026: Manifest” for March 17th through March 20th in Washington, DC. I have spoken with Archbishop Dominiquae about being among the speakers, and we are coordinating the details. “May God’s Kingdom Manifest in the US!”
Keeping Watch in the Gates
Pastor Eicha Lohmus, Estonia
During the 2025 “God of Wonders“ Sukkot Tour, I was keeping the watch in Beit Hogla, in UNIFY Retreat house, and Sukkat Yehoshua. Tonu (another UNIFY member) and I were also helping Erna with different tasks on the Beit Hogla agricultural farm, including helping to feed the animals and doing some repair work on fences, the UNIFY house, and the Sukkat Yehoshua. With great effort, we managed to chase an aggressive male goat back to his designated area, which brought to mind the parable of separating the sheep and rebellious goats in Matthew 25.
One day, when I was praying in the cave of Elijahu, I heard the word rekhevesh, which in Hebrew means ‘chariots of fire.’ Then I had a vision of our Sukkot Tour group moving around in Israel like the creatures of chariots of wheels, being obedient and unified in vision and mission under Ruach and bringing light and living fire wherever they moved and stopped.
“When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels” Ezekiel 1:19-20 TLV
Springs of Revival
Pastor Terhi Laine, Finland
In September, we were on a prayer mission on the steps of the Parliament House in Helsinki, prompted by the suicide of a member of parliament in the building. We prayed for repentance on behalf of our leaders and our people and bound and broke the spirit of death. Later, at an Autumn Market event in Jyväskylä, we met a member of parliament, and gave her the books “Exposing Haman, Amalek, and Hamas” and “The Voice of These
Ashes” as well as a UNIFY flag, which she promised to hang the flag on the wall of her office in the parliament. Hallelujah!
In September, Sinikka started an Ima bat
Ami group in her town. In October, there were pro-Israel demonstrations in different cities throughout Finland, two of which we attended and led the people in the Shema with a Megaphone. Our team members also gave out books and flyers. A friend of Eija’s husband fell ill with cancer, and Eija told them about planting trees in Israel and its importance. They decided to plant trees in Israel, and a miracle happened. This man woke up from his sleep and felt a surge of energy going up and down both sides of his body. When he went to the doctor, the cancer was no longer there. Hallelujah!
I was there during the Sukkot Tour. It was truly moving, and we marveled at Yah’s timing. We were in Israel on October 7, 2023, when this barbaric attack took the hostages, and now we were able to witness the release of the remaining living hostages! Many Jews found comfort in seeing people in other nations stand by their side, and were touched by our presence in their country. When I returned to Finland, I noticed that I had left some kind of heavy burden behind in Israel, and I was freed from it. Hallelujah!
Bringing ‘Pele’ back to Norway
Pastor Hanne Hansen, Norway
I attended the God of Wonders Sukkot Tour in Israel. It was a special Tour with more unity and love among the participants than I have seen before. It was very moving to see several of the participants, young girls, especially from the Far East, voluntarily take responsibility to care for the oldest participant on the Tour.
Back in Norway, I attended some of the 100th anniversary celebrations for the Synagogue building in Trondheim. One journalist from a Christian newspaper in Norway was there, and asked if she could interview me, thus I was able to tell them that I am the Norwegian delegate for an organization called the United Nations for Israel, I was there to support the Jews in Trondheim, and that I am a Messianic believer who eats Kosher, and celebrates Shabbat, and the Biblical feasts. She made very good articles from the celebrations.
I also got the opportunity to have a conversation with one of the members of the synagogue, who was very interested when I talked about UNIFY and GRM. I attended a With Israel for Peace (MIFF) meeting and had a good conversation there with the lecturer, and a young man who were both very interested in how antisemitism came into the church. They were quite amazed by how much I knew about the subject. I gave them the flyer for the Identity Theft book.
Shofars over Sweden
Apostle Sana Enroos, Sweden
During the 10 days of Awe between Yom Teruah and Yom HaKippurim, we carried out the Shofar Marathon Mission in Sweden, according to the instructions of the Ruach HaKodesh. Our team covered every county in Sweden. We even got a flat tire in the middle of the forest road at a place called the Waterfall of Hell, where no help was available, but Yah turned it to victory as Yah revealed many things we needed to deal with during that one day delay (Rom. 8:28). We said no to Islamization, Dawah (Islamic education), and Sharia law in Sweden. Ruach even revealed a special blood guilt that I dealt with in the middle of Sweden concerning the Finnish people. We clearly sensed a shift in the spirit after these missions.
The God of Wonders Tour was fantastic, and deepened my love for the land and its people. I experienced how Torah was taught from Zion by the land itself, by the scriptures, by Ima’s teachings, and even by the people of Israel. That was special to experience how all these levels operated simultaneously. I also felt that more structure and spiritual discipline were given during this tour. I sensed, when I came home, that things had changed inside me and that more structure had come into my life. I also experienced mighty healing for my heart from the palpitations I had suffered for 20 years. I was miraculously healed in my hotel room, as Ruach said I would enter a high-tech Israeli hospital, which happened to be in my hotel in Eilat. HalleluYah!
Uprooting Lies in the UK
Yael-Hilary Anderson, United Kingdom
The Sukkot Tour truly revealed the “God of Wonders” from start to finish. It was full of blessing, joy, revelation, healing, and sweet fellowship. It was my 6th visit to Israel, but on this trip, I experienced Israel in a new way. I truly fell in love with the land and the people, one lasting memory for me was when an Israeli woman approached me in a café in the Salt Sea area and asked me, “Who are you?” I explained that we were The United Nations FOR
Israel and that our group was from many nations and had come to show love, comfort, and support to Israel. She replied: “But the world hates us”. I told her that many in our nations love and support Israel and disagree with the governments that act against Israel. She then started to cry, and we hugged.
On 20th Oct, a few believers in the UK met for the first time in person in central England to worship and pray for Israel. I was very excited about this; however, it was not as expected, and I was very discouraged afterwards. Nevertheless, Yah showed me clearly that there was still a lot of Replacement Theology in that group, and that is why it failed. I have learnt valuable lessons from this.
On 25
th Oct, Janet Flashman, UNIFY member, visited an apostolic congregation in Central England, which supports Israel. During the service, she was led by the Spirit to repent on behalf of King Charles and his covenant with Islam. She also took authority over the UK’s recognition of a Palestinian state, declaring misalignment with it and realignment with Israel. Finally, she declared the Lion of Judah roaring over the UK. “ I never prayed with such authority,” she told me. HalleluYah, much is happening in the spiritual realm in the UK!
Yachad Spirit in the Far East
Pastor D’vora Cheung, China & Hong Kong
This year, Ruach led us to take Ethiopian flights to Israel with transit in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. We wore our hostage necklace, which gave a sign to the Jewish people for recognition of our support for them. A Jewish lady was comforted with our hugs, UNIFY flags, and the Am Israel Chai song.
We continued to comfort the people in the land, and it was awesome to see the return of hostages on 7th day of Sukkot, 13 October 2025 – Hoshana Raba, meaning ‘Great Salvation.’ It was very profound that we were witnesses to the massacre in Gaza on the 7th of October 2023 and that ‘great salvation’ on the 13th of October 2025, which fulfilled the scriptures written in Jeremiah 30:7.
We extended our territories by visiting the Druze community, received many teachings and impartations, especially concerning the title of Yeshua, ‘Pele-Yoetz’. It was a time to manifest the signs, miracles, and wonders born of the Gospel made in Zion, and to unite family members from different nations. A strong ‘Yachad spirit’ was kindled at the beginning of the tour as in Psalms 133.
Oh, how good, how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in harmony. Psalms 133:1
Sounding the Shofar over Japan
Yutong Tagawa, Japan
Before traveling to Tokyo, I received a vision of a large “UNIFY” banner descending from heaven and covering the Prime Minister’s Office of Japan. I began a Shofar mission for Japan. After blowing the Shofar there, the then–Prime Minister announced his resignation within half an hour. On October 1st, while praying at the Kotel and placing prayer notes, I wrote down the name Sanae Takaichi. The following day, she was elected as the new leader of the ruling party, and on October 21st, she officially became Japan’s first female Prime Minister.
In October, I participated in the Feast of Sukkot tour in Israel, witnessing YAH’s signs and wonders. In November, I will travel to the Niigata and Hokuriku regions to blow the Shofar.
Lifting the Banner of Life Over Malaysia
Apostle Dawid Yosef Lee, Malaysia
The Malaysian team completed the shofar acts of repentance on 24/9/2025 in 13 states and 2 Federal Territories. It was a blessing from YHVH, as we lifted up the UNIFY Flag as a Banner of Truth, Life, and the Way, repented, cleansed the land prophetically, and sealed it with the sounding of the shofars. We participated in the Sukkot Tour, where my eldest daughter, Amelia Abigail, graduated from GRM Bible School. Yosef and I were part of the Sukkot staff.
Receiving Wonders and Preparing for the Hanukkah Conference
Pastor Perach Yang, Taiwan
Our Sukkot Tour in October was filled with joy and grace. We witnessed our Ima regain her joy and heard our honoured guests share their painful experiences of the past two years. After we prayed for them, we received good news the next day: they could finally sleep soundly. Thank God, the God of Wonders moved. After two years, the hostages were finally released for Simchat Torah. Israel’s atmosphere overflowed with restoration and joy, and our hearts were revived. The tension of the past two years vanished, and thanks to Yah, my knee was healed.
After the Sukkot tour of Israel, Apostle David systematically led the UNIFY-Asia team in preparing for the December Wonders Hanukkah conference. Everything is progressing smoothly. We wholeheartedly welcome the arrival of the Jewish apostles. We are deeply grateful to the Lord for providing for all our needs. This will be a historic gathering. God’s grace is beyond our comprehension. Together with Malaysia, the eBook of “Vessels of Fire” was translated into Mandarin, and the testimonies of the inmates are truly burning in our hearts.
Back in Taiwan, Mina, the daughter of Simon and Jessica, completed her GRM this month. She shared that her interactions with her parents have become much closer and more harmonious; she can openly express her love for Israel; she can wisely handle conflicts with classmates; and she is even now an invisible leader within small groups. Praise Yah!
Bringing Israel Our Mother Downunder
Mathilda Cuthbertson, Australia
Since we returned from the Sukkot Tour, we came out with renewed strength and much clarity on re-educating believers, beginning with the mother. So, we are currently preparing to do a Shabbat presentation to a group of believers about UNIFY. Our mission is now to re-educate them about the mother first and then introduce them to her instructions, the GRM Bible School. Our presentation is focused on introducing UNIFY based on Archbishop’s teachings on YouTube and on the recent Sukkot updates. This is to inspire and encourage people to come and be part of the restoration movement. We are praying for much fruit to come out of this gathering so that when we next go up to Jerusalem, we are bringing in the first fruits of the harvest.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, immersing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Ruach ha-Kodesh, teaching them to observe all I have commanded you. And remember! I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 TLV
Fall Feasts & A Special Testimony
Pastor Dr. Marcelo Corral, Ecuador
This month, we celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) by building a large sukkah at the congregation and encouraged each member to participate in a Sukkah building competition. There was great participation, and it was also a wonderful opportunity to share and teach within each family the meaning of the autumn festivals and their connection to Yeshua. We also celebrated Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, filled with the presence of the Ruach HaKodesh.
On October 27, we received an invitation from the Embassy of Israel in Ecuador to attend a ceremony in Quito, commemorating two years since the Hamas massacre. The ceremony was attended by the Israeli ambassador, Ecuador’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Laura Malo, a young woman who survived that tragic day. She shared her testimony, explaining that she escaped through the back windows of her car after it had been shot, and hid beneath the debris of an abandoned greenhouse, where she called her parents to say goodbye. They strengthened her with Psalms, encouraging her to trust in Adonai. She remained hidden for 16 hours under the grass, hearing gunshots just a few meters away, terrified, crying, hungry, and thirsty — until soldiers arrived and rescued her.
At the end of the event, I approached her and offered words of encouragement, that Adonai had saved her for a purpose, and I also spoke to her about UNIFY, explaining that we are an organization that supports the people of Israel. I gave her our website so she could contact our pastors and receive psychological help, as she still struggles with the trauma of that experience, even as she travels throughout Latin America sharing her testimony in Spanish. The ceremony was very moving, and we continue blessing Israel in our congregation.
Vessels of Fire are Born in Peru
Pastor Sonia Gotelli, Peru
As we entered into the celebration of the last three Feasts of YHVH, the Ruach led us to a time of decision among all the members of Kad-Esh Peru.
– To decide to continue walking in the original Hebrew foundation of the Holy Scriptures.
– To decide to remain in total unity with Israel.
– To decide to continue under our Jewish leadership.
We rejoiced greatly when one of our worship team members returned with a firm decision to walk in obedience to the Word of YHVH and offer her gift in faithful service for the edification of all our brothers and sisters. We also had the joy of witnessing the commitment of one of the AGIMAP graduates to serve the Eternal One by teaching His Word during Shabbat. We created a new WhatsApp group called Vessels of Fire with all those who decided to continue in the Ministry.
While joyfully preparing for the Feast of Sukkot, we faced our first challenge of faith, as, due to the great social and political chaos in our nation, different sectors of society rose up and declared a national transportation strike for October 6th. We had to stand firm in faith, declaring that nothing and no one would prevent us from celebrating the Holy Convocation. With great rejoicing, we were all able to arrive from different areas of Lima to the place of our celebration! We sounded the Shofars, declared the Word of Yah, and rejoiced greatly. Despite the current political and social situation, we were able to send our Firstfruits to Israel in abundance! In our weekly prayer meetings, we gratefully receive answered prayers.
Living Water in México
Pastor César Silva, México
You would go and produce fruit, and your fruit would remain. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in My name. – John 15:16
Since the beginning of 2025, we have been working with a couple from Ciudad Victoria, Dr. Hugo David and Yael. They received Hebrew roots and have been studying GRM. After our trip to Israel, we brought them a Shofar and the book of Oren Cohen. They accompanied us to do the First Prophetic act of Teshuvah for Ciudad Victoria. Following in the footsteps of our Ima, we are blowing the Shofar throughout the Nation of Mexico, just as she and many in this ministry are already doing.
The fruit has begun to be seen, just as the Apostle has told us, to reach one by one. They have already won over two couples who needed spiritual help, the main director of the Praise Team and his wife, and the drummer and his wife. Both are already receiving Shabbat in their homes, and also sending offerings to Israel to UNIFY. The living water of the Torah and the Gospel made in Zion is already breaking way for the Third-day Revival.
For The Lion of Judah,
Archbishop Dr. Dominiquae & Rabbi Baruch Bierman, and the UNIFY Team.

Rejoice in Jerusalem – Sukkot Israel Tour 2026
September 23 – October 5, 2026
“But be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating. For behold, I am creating Jerusalem for rejoicing, and her people for joy.” Isaiah 65:18 TLV
Hosted by Archbishop Dr. Dominiquae and Rabbi Baruch Bierman.
Join our Special Mission Tour to Support and Love Israel in Prayer and Action! We will travel from north to south, starting in Netanya and ending in Jerusalem, visiting Galilee and Golan, the Gaza envelope area and the Salt Sea.
