Guest Column: Israeli Arni Klein on "A Great Shift in the Spirit"


Yonit & Arni Klein, Emmaus Way
in Tiberias, Israel 

Donna: After an unusally long silence from Arni and Yonit Klein, yesterday I received this ministry letter from Arni explaining the lack of communication. So much of it registered with me, as I also have come to understand the Spirit of God is calling us into a deeper connection with Him than we have ever experienced before. I don't want to miss that, and I will bet you don't either. Arni has many things for us to consider in this part one of the great shift he has sensed that is taking place in the spirit.


Arni:  Some of you have no doubt noticed that it’s been an unusually long time since our last letter. (Nov 2024) Some have wondered if they were inadvertently dropped from our list. We are here and are basically fine. The last four months have been quite a journey. The fullness of what we want to share is still on the way. But rather than wait any longer, we want to send out what’s been compiled thus far. In a way, what follows might be seen as complete, but in essence it is not. It is only the prelude. So please consider this as part one:

     From the inception of this letter, going back over thirty years, we have sought to bring prophetic perspective to the events going on around us. Given the volume and depth of changes and shifts over the past months, I (arni) have experienced an inability to write that was surprising and somewhat disturbing. It even felt somewhat irresponsible towards our many friends and supporters.  The fact is that for months I have sat for hours day after day trying to lay hold of a thread of thought worth of communicating.  Initially, it seemed that the difficulty was in deciding what to choose from the vast amount of significant and rapidly changing events and dynamics. Also, the complexity and diversity of potential perspectives was stifling. All that being true, we have come to see this period of being shut in as even a prophetic picture of the spiritual season we are in.

     A great shift is taking place in the spirit. We are being called…compelled…to live on another level -- that of eternity. For a while, from the covid time to the Gaza war, we followed post after post, disclosure, hope, promise and possibility that came our way. It was quite consuming, overwhelming, fruitless, and emotionally debilitating. More recently, our conversations and observations with brethren near and far have indicated that we are in something like a divinely-ordained season of waiting.

     Over the last few years the spiritual landscape has changed dramatically. Beyond what we might relate to or perceive as a quantitative increase, it’s more like entering into another realm. We are impressed that a veil is being removed, and those with eyes to see will perceive the essence of things as they really are.

     Where we previously have dealt with outer effects and manifestations, the time has fully come that we need to engage at a root (causative) level. Once something is systemic, topical treatments are essentially fruitless. It’s like casting the enemy from the house while the door is left wide open. This moment requires a shift in our thinking accompanied by consequent changes in how we look, what we see, where we stand, and what we choose to do.

     Yeshua told us, “No one having drunk old wine, immediately desires new: for he says, ‘The old is better.’” (Lk.5:39) It’s not easy to let go of what we have known for so long, but the new cannot come until the old passes away.

     If you know something has changed but don’t really know what, if you have a sense of disequilibrium, if you are wondering what to do with your life, if what was once sure now seems clouded, know you are not alone. We are in the midst of a global corporate spiritual quantum shift. Take a deep breath, tighten your seatbelt, and “set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Yeshua the Messiah.” (1Pe.1:13)

     Israel is a prophetic nation existing in both the natural and spiritual realm. From Scripture and history we understand it is God’s chosen channel through which spiritual dynamics are released into the world. The Law, which is spiritual, went out from Zion, which is natural. The connection between the natural and the spiritual…causes and effects…roots and fruits…is often not recognized as it usually takes time for a seed to grow to maturity. Physical fruit, or manifestations in the visible realm, are invariably the product of roots existing in the invisible realm. With that as a foundational principle let’s move on to consider it in real time.

     As the nation to whom the Word and the glory of God has been entrusted, it naturally follows that Israel would be positioned as the global gatekeeper. We believe it also follows that what Israel does or doesn’t do has implications for the nations. If so, what then would be the result of freeing hundreds of demonically-motivated convicted murderers into society? Surely it would open a gateway to the pit of hell, releasing a spirit of murder into the global arena.

     As far as we can tell, nothing like this has ever been done before in human history. The unprecedented has now become the precedent. We sense the dynamics of this moment to be like when God would send forth a divine judgment. There is no letup until the full appointed destruction has been accomplished. In these days, from the Land and by the people that bear the Name of the Lord, a line has been crossed from which there is no turning back. Once again Israel has chosen Barabbas over the Way, the Truth and the Life. Once again we have cast righteousness and judgment to be trampled underfoot. Once again we have become an object of derision in the camp of our enemies. Once again the Name of the Lord has been profaned among the nations.

     As we are writing this letter a major multi-front offensive is underway, seemingly propelled by the present US administration. At this point, concerning all things taking place in the national and international political arenas, we have adopted the position that most probably nothing is what it seems on the surface. Regardless of how this moment might turn out in the short term, the moral and spiritual repercussions in the decision to release the terrorists stands in the eternal court of the Lord.

     Beyond our rhetoric or that of Hamas, beyond the number of buildings in Gaza that have been destroyed, beyond the true motives and hidden agendas of various world leaders, spiritual transactions have taken place. Things have been set in motion that will play out over the coming years. God will surely deal with His enemies in His time. He will bring glory to His Name. We pray that all those that love Him and await His appearing will be hidden in the shadow of His wings with enough oil to carry us through any longer-than-expected night. Our next letter will pick up from this point.

     Our emphasis, according to our calling, has mainly to do with the unseen spiritual realm. But we want to acknowledge the fact that in the Land there are so many doing so much of great and eternal value. For those of you also interested in the work taking place on the ground, we’d like to recommend the digest put out by a longtime friend. …Donna Diorio. She has been at this work faithfully for some 20 years. It is a well-considered compilation of highlights from a wide and varied range of Israeli ministries. We know of no other single address from which to easily get an overview of the work in Israel. You can subscribe at: ArrowsDDiorio@protonmail.com or donna@israelprayer.com.  This is her full-time work, so if you are blessed by it, please do consider becoming a regular supporter.

     On a more earthly personal note, as prices have gone up everywhere, food costs in Israel have nearly doubled. We would value your prayers for Emmaus Way’s monthly contributions. It is the financial umbrella for the Kleins, the Winklers, the Levins, the ministry center, the guest house, and administrative assistance in Israel, Germany, and the US. May the Lord bless you from Zion!

     May we truly live all our days on earth…For the Glory of His Name, Arni and Yonit
