"Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
Matthew 6:9-13
This arrangement of The Lord's Prayer uses an ancient Aramaic melody, Abun D'bashmayo. The verses are sung in Syriac Aramaic,
and in between the verses, there is an instrumental section, above which the prayer is proclaimed in Hebrew, English, Coptic, Arabic,
Farsi, Amharic, and Turkish, ending with a repetition of the English. The instrumentation uses both harps and handbells.
We sensed a deep significance to the location, on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, where we were singing and proclaiming this prayer, as well as the languages and instruments used, particularly in the light of all that has happened in the land since October 7th. Isaiah 19:23-25 speaks about how Egypt, Assyria, and Israel will worship together as a blessing in the center of the earth. This is God's purpose and His peace plan for the Middle East. Hebrew and Aramaic are two of the languages that Yeshua spoke and two languages that have been "resurrected" as spoken languages in the days we are living in. Aramaic was spoken by the Jewish people in exile is also the script that we use to read Hebrew today. It is deeply significant in the context of Isaiah's prophecy that these languages have been reborn. Coptic is the language of the ancient Egyptian church, and Farsi is the language spoken in the region of Persia that today is called Iran. Today much of the region included in both ancient Assyria and Egypt speaks Arabic as their mother tongue and English is commonly known among the body of Messiah throughout this region and globally.
We felt that the use of the bells was a sounding of an awakening of the ancient church of the Middle East, which has stood since the time of Yeshua in this region in an often hostile environment. The Syrian Orthodox and Egyptian Coptic Church have paid a heavy price for their refusal to deny Jesus by those who seek to persecute them.
We proclaimed Yeshua's prayer that He taught His disciples (talmidim) on the Mount of Beatitudes not far from where we sat as One New Man, Jew and gentile, with representatives from the lands of the Isaiah 19 Highway and the regions of the Ancient Church of this region, both Jewish and Gentile. There is never a time like this one, when we need to pray this prayer and walk it out, humbly, with all of our hearts.

On September 28, 2023, during our annual All Nations Convocation Jerusalem and Watchmen's Tour of Israel (ANCJ), around 200 of the King’s Harpists from all continents and many nations, including Israel, gathered together with worshippers from close to 150 nations at Amnun Beach on the shores of the Sea of Galilee to minister to the Great King.
May we have a mighty breakthrough in 2024 that will restore true peace through our Prince of Peace to the King’s Highway - the Isaiah 19 Highway.
This event was filmed by Sarel Media, and we are sharing the videos here and on Facebook: / kings.harpists
