Editor’s Words: 8 Proclamations for 5780 & Beyond by James W. Goll
2019/10/10
Often at the head of the new Hebrew year, the Holy Spirit speaks concerning things to come. As I have prayed and sought the face of God, I have been given a series of revelations concerning the new era we have entered as of 5780 and beyond. In this period of time, we are not just crossing from one year to the next, but from one era or decade to the next.
I have chosen the title “8 Proclamations for 5780 & Beyond.” Let me unpack this one phrase at a time. 8, of course, is the number of a new beginning. 5 is the number of grace and 7 is the number of completion. So, by grace we are completing past assignments and we are moving into a new decade in the Kingdom of God. We are crossing over from one side of the river where promises are revealed to the other side where promises are manifested.
I agree with others that we are shifting from an emphasis of the “Year of the Eye” to the “Year of the Mouth.” But since my expertise is not in Hebrew numeric symbolic interpretation, I feel to stay in my lane of prophetic teaching, encounter and revelation. With that in mind, here are the proclamations I have been granted.
Proclaim for All to Hear
We do not use the words “proclaim” or “proclamation” often in our ordinary speech. We prefer the synonymous words such as “announce” or “publish” or “invite” or “declare.” Let’s revive proclamation as one of the best ways we can be prophetic in these days. Let’s “cry out”, “pronounce”, “herald,” or even “decree.”
Here are two primary scripture references on this subject.
- Deuteronomy 32:3-4 “I will proclaim the name of Lord, Oh, praise the greatness of our God! He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He.” (NIV)
- Matthew 10:27 “What I tell you in darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.” (NASB )
This principle was driven home to me forcefully one day when I was alone, waiting quietly upon the Lord. The voice of the Holy Spirit came to me saying, “It is time to make a worldwide impact by calling forth the watchmen to the prophetic power of proclamation.” This has been like the final piece of a puzzle for me, and it shifted me into ministering out of a higher vision. Let’s release greater impact through the prophetic power of proclamation.
8 Proclamations for 5780 & Beyond
- It is a Time of Fresh Restoration of Righteousness.
Righteousness is both a gift and an outworking in our lifestyle and character. This movement will be based in part out of Psalm 24, “Who can ascend to the hill of the Lord? But he who has clean hands and a pure heart.” It will be a time when “the Spirit comes with conviction.” - It is a Time of Divine Interruptions.
God is going to interrupt our schedules, our meetings and our appointments with His presence. The Holy Spirit is going to interrupt our good program-based agenda’s with interruptions of His Divine presence. Watch out, here comes God as the Divine Interrupter and Divine Intruder! - It is a Time when Divine Order will be Established.
Out of a season where there is the open Conflict of Thrones resulting in Chaos and Confusion, the enemy will overplay his hand. God will use this backdrop to have the final word. This has ramifications on many fronts from family to government. - It is a Time of Sacred Assemblies and Consecration.
Out of need, there will be a movement of unity where there will be city-wide, state or provincial, and national gatherings to seek the face of the Lord. There will be more public rallies of repentance and prayer combined with the call to “GO therefore” over the next three years and beyond than in any previous time in church history. - It is a Time of Cleansing from Old Disappointments.
We cannot carry this baggage into the new era. Therefore, the Holy Spirit is initiating a movement of cleansing from old disappointments so we can come into the new with a fresh slate and without remorse, guilt and shame so we can be the Hope Ambassadors He intends. - It is a Time when the Thief and the Robber are Exposed and Caught.
I have been given dreams where a security breach has occurred and is being exposed. Two dark demonic entities then came and appeared before me and their names were “thief and robber.” These enemies will be exposed and captured. Then the voice of the Lord came to me saying, “It is time for my revolutionary midnight riders to appear on the scene. They will shine the light in darkness and expose the deeds of darkness.” - It is a Time when there is Revelatory Teaching on Power and Authority.
As part of our equipment needed for the new era, the Holy Spirit will be teaching us on the difference between Power and Authority and the necessity for both. The theme of the Authority of the Believer in Christ Jesus will be revisited. - It is a Time for the Beginning of the Great Harvest.
This new era in Christendom is the beginning of the Great Harvest. Please note: I did not say the Final Harvest. But we are crossing the threshold into the Greatest Harvest we have ever known. It is time for the “Greatest Show on Earth” of signs and wonders and open displays of God’s lavish love.
3 Necessary Requirements
Let me close by giving you three simple requirements that are necessary to walk in this new era and to see these proclamations fulfilled.
-
- Greater Focus
- Greater Flexibility
- Greater Wholeness
I trust this exhortation has stirred you to greater Faith, Hope and Love. We see in part and know in part. This is a portion of what I see, hear and know for the new Hebrew year of 5780 & Beyond!

- Ephesians 5:15-17 ‘Be very careful, then, how you live not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s Will is.’
- Psalm 53:2 ‘God looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.’

【Event: Election Embattlement: 2020 Election is the high priority since President Trump’s inauguration in January 2017. Some very specific war plans have been drawn and are in full operations by Democrat party. (Eph. 5:15-17)
After Russian hoax failed miserably, ‘Impeachment’ narratives through hidden ‘Whistle blower Protection Act’ is pushed to the forefront. The Whistle blower Law expanded by former President Obama in 2012, named Presidential Policy Directive 19 (PPD19) to counter then candidate Mitt Romney.
Whistle blower Protection Act was originally made to deal with government waste and mismanagement, and unshielded spies who disagreed with the president’s foreign policy. PPD19 expanded by President Obama to protect Intelligence Community Agents, would help to defeat Mitt Romney then. When Obama later won re-election, PPD19 stayed under the radar until now used as trap.
Democrats House Intelligence, Chairman Adam Schiff are using PPD19 to impeach President Trump in the coordinated Ukraine hoax, by hiding the Whistle blower’s false facts. Democrats have now turned private phone call between President of America and a foreign leader into a potential scandal. This undermines and jeopardizes the sovereignty and security of the nation. But, Democrats will do anything to maintain power and threat at multiple angles at the President endlessly.
The Impeachment: (Psa. 53:2)
- Democrat House of Congress and Speaker Pelosi cannot secure the full House Congressional votes for the Impeachment; (30-40 Dem. Not supporting Impeachment), yet unwilling to withdraw the process
- Democrats are hesitant to reveal voted impeachment Dem. congress members (in Republican states), potential backfire for future re-elections.
- President Trump can sue the House of Democrats, House Leadership, House Intelligence Committee Chairman since the impeachment is forcibly done outside the legal process. Schiff reportedly hired two National Security Counsel (NSC) aides to work with the Ukrainian whistle blower.
Media Scrutiny creates Overhyped Outrage:
- Aimed to protect and hide illegal false-flag and Whistle blower’s lies, as well as false reports by Democrats party and Committee Chairman Adam Schiff; stirs up more hate from anti-Trump groups;
- Framing issues for escalated oppositions and rage, false narratives; to affect policies and feelings that President Trump should be impeached.
Next phase of Obstruction
- There are 10 Republican Congress member voted for Impeachment
- 11 Republicans voted against building borders
- The ongoing Court demanding of the President’s past 8 years of Tax returns for tax hoax
- Upcoming FISA and Inspector General Report (Chronicles of falsehoods and accounts evidence)
- President continues to do what he does best despite Democrats’ blitzing: the President does not rattle; just keep advancing with precision, honestly, prayer and victories! (Col. 3:15)
- Democrats are consolidating and changing voting districts throughout Democratic states aimed for voting benefits
- Democrats blocking the USMCA Trade Agreement
- From Official GOP Alert: 1. Democrats are moving impeachment hearings behind closed doors – No Republicans allowed. The secrecy is CONCEALING MISCONDUCT. 2. Plan to DETAIN White House Officials in an unbelievable power grab.

On 10/14/2019, Russia deployed troops to the front lines between Syria and Turkey to prevent Turkey’s attack to Syria. (Prov. 21:31)
Current events from U.S. and other sources:
- Turkey waged violent campaign against Kurdish fighters and civilians (from entering Turkey) across northeastern Syria.
- Turkish-backed proxy forces with ties to extremist groups are deliberately releasing detainees affiliated with the ISIS from unguarded prisons.
- FSA/TSO launched bloody assault on northeastern Syria, executing Kurdish prisoners and killing scores of unarmed civilians and Kurdish fighters.

- Russia, Turkey and Iran have formed a trilateral process designed to end Syria’s civil war and pushing for peace.
President Trump has called U.S.-Syria occupation endless and senseless, withdrawal of troops could help Turkey and Syria to work out their differences. Turkey-Kurdish’s is historical occupation; Turkey cited Kurdish Fighters as ‘Terrorists’ and threats. Currently, there are 14-15 millions Kurds living in Turkey, 2 million in Syria, 5-6 million in Iraq, 6 millions in Iran. Kurds doesn’t have a nation. (Prov. 10:3)
Syria government now resumes the control of some key positions held by Kurdish-led forces. (U.S. previously backed Kurdish-led forces).
(Previous U.S. administration) U.S.-Syria occupation supported various underground operations. President Trump does not support such operations. (Psa. 120:7)

Revive Europe 40 Weeks – Pray for Luxembourg
【Background: Luxembourg is located in the interior of Europe and is the only remaining Grand Duchy in Europe. A rich country with the highest per capita GDP in the world. It is known for its strong finances and is one of the largest financial centers in the world. The Court of Auditors, the Investment Bank and the Court of Justice of Europe are all here.

The Spiritual Conditions: Although most folks are Catholic, but very few people participate in the mass and keeping the faith. On the contrary, other beliefs such as Islam, Orthodox, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Eastern Mysticism are growing. Because Christians are a minority, the government and society often regard evangelical groups as paganism, causing them to face resistance in public evangelism and in renting buildings. Christian believers worship God with nine languages in 23 evangelical Christian churches, but only a few churches have full-time pastors, they hold joint prayer meetings from time to time to worship together.

Bison and the Aborigine
For Aboriginal people on the Great Plains of North America, bison is a sacred animal that plays a complete and comprehensive role in their cultural, spiritual and economic life, providing them with almost everything they need for their daily lives. At first, there were about 30 million bison on the Great Plains, and the aborigines only hunted a handful of bison they need for their living.
White people hunted a lot of Bison for cowhide. Also, building roads and railways had destroyed the living environment of bison. Another important reason was that the US government cut off the source of the aboriginal economy and implemented the ” buffalo policy ” which almost distinguished the bison.
In order to make the aboriginal tribes give up resistance, the US government ordered the large-scale hunting of bison. The purpose was to completely take away the source of life for the aborigines who were unwilling to be restrained, they had to live in the ” reservations” , and depend on the charity of the US government for a living. Under this policy, in less than 20 years, the number of bison in the United States has decreased from the original 60 million to less than 1,000.
Eventually, the ” reservations ” are diminishing, ended up with only a few fallow and unconnected grounds. The US government seems to provide food with good intentions, but they not only limit the quantity and quality of food, the agreement also stipulates a limited number of years in providing the food. At first, the US government only promised 10 years. After that, the Indians must fend for themselves in the ” reservations “. Although the US government sent people to teach them how to farm, but the most fertile land in North America was occupied by whites. The grasslands are not suitable for agriculture, the environment is getting worse, and the Indians are getting poorer. The nation that once lived freely on the grassland became a reserved species in captivity.
Bison Treaty
On September 23, 2014, 13 Aboriginal Nations from eight reservations gathered in the Blackfeet Territory in Montana to sign the Bison Treaty. This is the first time in 150 years that an agreement has been reached between cross-border aboriginal tribes without the involvement of the US and Canadian governments. The treaty recognizes the life, culture and spiritual symbiosis between Aboriginal and bison, with the aim of providing safe spaces and environments for bison, enabling endangered bison to return to the original homes of Aboriginal people in the United States and Canada. The birth and reproduction of the aborigines and the descendants of the aborigines will restore the natural ecology of symbiosis with the bison.
By October 2019, more than 30 Aboriginal Tribes had signed the treaty.

Please pray for the people who are involved in organizing and making this Global 40 Day Prayer And Fast movement possible. Particularly, please pray for the spiritual leaders, their co-workers, and their family members, the behind-the-scene editorial team and their spiritual coverings, and family members. Please ask God to:
- protect everyone involved in the global prayer and fast and their families. May God watch their coming and going and keep them healthy with prosperous spirits, souls, and bodies.
- bless the editorial team to be able to receive from God and translate it into words speedily and accurately.
