As we step into the Gregorian year 2026, aligned with the Hebrew year 5786, the Lord is prophetically announcing a season of dominion, multiplication and divine alignment.
This is not just another year on a calendar—this is a divine appointment and a release of the new eternal kingdom order. The new eternal kingdom order is God’s original mandate being made manifest in the earth. This original mandate is what God gave humanity but was marred by the sin of Adam and Eve and is now restored and reactivated through the second Adam, Jesus Christ. We are being called to step into the fullness of our heavenly identity and bring heaven into the earth realm with intentionality and function.
In Genesis 1:26–28 (KJV) God established the blueprint for Kingdom living and His eternal order:
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Adam forfeited this mandate through sin, but Jesus Christ, the second Adam, restored it through His death, burial, resurrection and ascension. Because of Jesus, we step into the year of 2026 not as victims of circumstance, as citizens of heaven called to manifest the Kingdom in the earth.
Ephesians 5:15-17 (KJV) reads, “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise but understanding what the will of the Lord is.”
Jesus has redeemed the time and ransomed us back to the revelation and wisdom of the Garden of Eden before sin, which is exactly like the revelation of Apostle Paul speaking to us in Ephesians 2:4-7 (KJV):
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Prophetically, we are now in the ages to come from this Word spoken by the Apostle Paul.

The Hebrew letter Vav (6) symbolizes connection—the divine joining of heaven and earth—and that is the assignment for 5786 and 2026. We are called to live from our ascended identity which is like living in the Garden of Eden without sin. Our true position is from Ephesians 2:6, “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” This means we are not fighting for victory but from victory. We legislate from heavenly authority. We decree from ascended identity. We operate from a place of spiritual dominion that has already been won for us in Christ.
The year 2026 opens with a call to consecration and purification, especially during Tevet, the Hebrew month historically associated with cleansing, preparation and divine repositioning. This is a “first fruits” moment—an invitation to set God first so He can order the rest. Jesus models this heart posture in Matthew 6, where He teaches the threefold cord of breakthrough: giving, praying and fasting. “But thou, when thou prayest… But thou, when thou fastest… But when thou doest alms…” (Matthew 6:2, 5, 16). This is the pattern for entering 2026, with dedicated prayer, intentional fasting, sacrificial generosity and a heart positioned to hear and obey.
The year 2026 demands that we shift from a lack mentality to a prosperity mindset—from earth’s deficit to heaven’s fullness. Jesus teaches us how heaven’s economy works in Matthew 6:9–13, the Lord’s Prayer: “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven… And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” Heaven’s economy is not built on buying and selling, but on giving and receiving, releasing and trusting, forgiving and advancing. We cannot enter multiplication while still holding others in emotional or spiritual debt. Forgiveness in relationships and with our finances is not loss—it is spiritual strategy of wisdom and occupation in the earth.
This year of 2026 we are challenged to walk in wisdom, prudence and spiritual intelligence. Wisdom is the infrastructure of dominion. Proverbs 1:1–7 teaches, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding… to receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity…” Wisdom is not optional in 2026—it is way of living from the ascended realms. Dominion without wisdom leads to arrested development and even chaos. Multiplication without prudence, which is simple obedience, becomes mismanagement. This year, heaven is inviting us to steward increase with maturity.
This year of 2026 is not passive. It is a year of God’s favor upon His people to connect one with another (Vav/6) to bring heaven to earth. We begin the year with consecration through fasting and prayer and releasing debts and offense. Then we practice first-fruits generosity, giving to the Lord first. We begin with reinstating the spiritual disciplines which will help us grow in Scripture and spiritual understanding, as we step boldly into new assignments, opportunities and territories. This will open doors of favor where we connect (Vav/6) arms with kingdom community for accountability and activation. We do not walk into dominion alone—God is raising families, communities, networks and spiritual ecosystems to carry out His new eternal kingdom order, as we His people activate living from the ascension realms first.
Since we are His people, we will be His voice (Pey/80) in the earth, carrying the wisdom connection of heaven and earth (Vav/6). As we respond to the prophetic call of 5786 into 2026, with obedience, faith, purity and forgiveness we will witness new levels of authority. This will bring with-it supernatural multiplication and kingdom strategies with provision that emits from heavenly wisdom and revelation.
This is your year to step into the fullness of dominion and multiplication. Heaven is calling us higher. The Apostle Paul admonishes us in Philippians 3:14 (KJV),” I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” It is our time and season to press forth as Heaven is manifesting in the earth through you. You are God’s key in the earth for the manifestation of the new eternal kingdom order.
Declare this: “I am seated with Christ in heavenly places. I bring heaven to earth. I walk in dominion, multiplication, and supernatural wisdom. I am a member of His new eternal kingdom order and 2026 is my year of divine alignment. Heaven is here, and I will be a key to manifest it.”
