We are in the Hezekiah Moment — a moment of reprieve where God is giving His people time to prepare, gain strength, and be established in confidence in Him for the times that are ahead.

The Word of the Lord 2025
2025 will usher us into a season of REPRIEVE — the Hezekiah moment where YHWH is summoning us for a time of consecration, strengthening and preparation so that we will be ready to run with horses.
Jeremiah 12:5 says,
“If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses?”
While I (Kay-Chong) was praying for the USA on 18 November 2024, some days after the Presidential election, the Spirit of the Lord spoke clearly to me:
“This is not a victory. This is also not a time for bravado. In My mercy and goodness, this is a time of reprieve!
Do not mistake My patience for My tolerance of sin, but know that this is a reprieve firstly for My people to turn and respond accordingly.
This is also a reprieve for more than just the USA, but for nations. Surely the worst is to come in accordance with My Biblical narrative for the End of the Age. However, in My mercy, I AM giving time for people to prepare for the times that are to come (Isa. 42:23).
Do not misinterpret nor take this reprieve for granted. Just as I have shown My mercy through Covid-19 as an indictment unto awakening My people to hear, this reprieve is for a time of preparation.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
The Context for the Hezekiah Moment
These 3 words set the context of the Hezekiah moment:
1. SHIFT
We have witnessed dramatic shifts in every arena since COVID-19. By 2030, we will see an accelerated acceleration unto the eschatological narrative according to Scripture. We are racing towards the crisis that Psalm 2 has foretold, and the birth pangs and unprecedented troubles that Matthew 24 and Daniel 12 have forewarned us about.
2. SHAKE
Surely, we will witness even more intense shakings in the coming decades in all seven aspects described in Haggai 2:6–8. The Church of Jesus Christ will not be shielded from this as it is in the Lord’s zeal that He will remove all things that hinder wholeheartedness and purify us from every mixture (1 Pet. 4:17; Heb. 12:25–29).
3. SHAPE
Much of what we have talked about pertaining to the End of the Age will be taking shape by the coming decade. One of them will be the rise of the Harlot Babylon and also a reset to a one-world economy. I know this is a big statement, but I believe that the decade of the 2030s is setting the stage for the time of the end.
Yet, our God already has a pre-emptive plan: His ultimate heart and strategy is to SHAPE UP His people so that we arise as the John 17 generation:
- to withstand the coming eschatological storm;
- to create an eschatological impact;
- to partner with Jesus for the eschatological revolution.
To understand the Hezekiah moment, we have to know the life of King Hezekiah, what he did, and how he responded to YHWH. (2 Kings 18–20; 2 Chron. 29–32; Isa. 36–39)
King Ahaz, the father of King Hezekiah was an evil king who led Judah into the worship of Baal and apostasy. When King Hezekiah succeeded him, he caused Judah to return to YHWH; he restored temple worship and Passover; he brought reform to Judah.
The Threefold Response
This reprieve is a season of God’s mercy and grace where He is giving us time to prepare so that we may have the strength to run with “horses”.
There is a threefold response required in this Hezekiah moment:
1. RETURN
God is bringing us through a time of consecration by fire unto wholeheartedness, holiness, and walking in the fear of God. The Spirit of God specifically highlighted Revelation 3:2–3; 3:18–20 and 2 Corinthians 6:14 – 7:1 for such a time as this.
The only safe place as a believer is to have a real, deep, and authentic walk and history with God.
2. RESTORE
God will specifically restore and bring back true worship in the Church, the “Mo’ed” (especially the Sabbath, Passover and Feast of Tabernacles) to a central place in our relating with God, the fear of the Lord, and most of all, knowing and calling on the name of YHWH.
These are the fundamental pillars of our faith that will strengthen us to stand strong in the midst of coming eschatological storms.
3. REFORM
God will bring forth another reformation in the Church of Jesus Christ so that we will be ready for the coming move of the Spirit unto the eschatological revolution.
In Matthew 9:17, Jesus said, “Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
We need another reformation for the formation of a new wineskin for the coming new wine!
It’s important to note that King Hezekiah became complacent, proud, and also compromised, which resulted in God’s judgment. Yet YHWH gave him a reprieve after he repented. However, he didn’t make full use of the reprieve initially, which nearly resulted in another judgement of God (2 Chron. 32:24–26).
A reprieve does not guarantee change until we respond according to what the Lord has laid down for us. Ephesians 5:15–16 exhorts us to walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. In 2 Peter 1:5 and 10, Peter admonished his disciples to intentionally and diligently “add” to the promises that God has made available by His power.
Three key prayers are critical for us to pray in this moment: Psalm 91, Songs 8:6 (which is the fire of God), and Colossians 1:9–12.
A right, intentional, and aligned response is of absolute necessity! Breakthrough is on the horizon for whoever responds to the Lord in this season of reprieve!
