A famous rock musician once described music as “the electric church” – spiritual communication, sometimes wordless, that goes straight to the heart. An “electric synagogue” also exists – prophetic songs of Zion (Psalm 137:1-4; 126:1-6) which reach deep into the Jewish heart and anoint it with Messianic reality.

Up to now, much outreach to modern Israelis has involved printed argument and intellectual appeal. These efforts have been met with sparse results. But there is a future day coming which Scripture calls “the day of YHVH’s power” (Psalm 110:3) when the destiny of the Jewish people will be triggered. On that day the youth of Israel will be unleashed into revival, presenting themselves in holy battle-gear for the Great Commission.

Spirit-breathed music and art, when birthed out of the soil, cultures and history of Israel, hold a powerful key to releasing this end-time generation for the last great harvest – life from the dead for the entire world (Romans 11:15).

Jeremiah prophesied that restoration would encompass revived songs of Zion, strummed in the land of Israel and sung in the revived Hebrew tongue (Jeremiah 30:17-20; 31:4,12-14). In our day the God of Israel is beginning to restore these ancient sounds to His ancient people. Cool waters are again being served up from ancient wells.
