DEAR FRIENDS,
HEADLINE EVERY DAY: IT’S APOCALYPTIC. Please continue to pray for Maui, Hawaii. Images from this beautiful island continue to provoke comparisons to the apocalypse, and with good reason. The loss is literally unimaginable. And more than 1,300 people remain unaccounted for. HELP LORD! 

WHILE IN JERUSALEM, warnings of apocalyptic scenarios flooded the news as well. Unprecedented protests surrounded the recent push for judicial overhaul, which most Israelis are convinced would push the Covenant Land massively towards dictatorship. 

I don’t disagree. The tricky part for all of this is that, in both America and Israel, party loyalists who have weaponized the judicial system to fulfill their political goals are compelling leaders in the crosshairs to take unprecedented action. Weaponizing any aspect of government for political gain is an abhorrent abuse of power—and actually the ultimate betrayal of democracy. 

I awoke before dawn one morning in Zion. I wasn’t praying—technically, any way. Instead I was just lost in the simple awe of a majestic dawn breaking over the walls of Jerusalem. A word from the Lord suddenly came before me. From my notes:

There are forces within the US (government, finance, technology etc) that have signed a death warrant with the intention of turning the United States over to a beast system of government. As in the days of Solomon, when two prostitutes were claiming to be the mother of the same child, they would rather kill the baby than turn the baby over to its rightful mother. 

Virginia and North Carolina must come under a canopy of awakening and revival to survive. New England must come under the covering of awakening and revival to thrive, and not succumb. Yom Kippur—50 states solemn assemblies is a mandate.

This prophetic word seemed to come out of thin air. God’s presence saturated that air. And the substance of the warning actually took the air out of my lungs. I actually called Chris Mitchell Jr to see if the word bore witness. He felt the weight of Heaven on it. 

Two Prostitutes and a Baby
In a moment I’m going to share a few insights gained since the word of the Lord came at dawn. But first you need to read the biblical reference the word is predicated on. 

Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. 17 The one woman said, “Pardon me, my lord: this woman and I live in the same house; and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house. 18 And it happened on the third day after I gave birth, that this woman also gave birth to a child, and we were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, only the two of us in the house. 19 Then this woman’s son died in the night, because she lay on him. 20 So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from beside me while your servant was asleep, and she laid him at her breast, and laid her dead son at my breast. 21 When I got up in the morning to nurse my son, behold, he was dead! But when I examined him closely in the morning, behold, he was not my son, whom I had borne!” 

22 Then the other woman said, “No! For the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son.” But the first woman said, “No! For the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son.” So they spoke before the king.

23 Then the king said, “The one says, ‘This is my son who is living, and your son is the dead one’; and the other says, ‘No! For your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.’” 24 And the king said, “Get me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the king. 25 And the king said, “Cut the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other.” 26 But the woman whose child was the living one spoke to the king, for she was deeply stirred over her son, and she said, “Pardon me, my lord! Give her the living child, and by no means kill him!” But the other woman was saying, “He shall be neither mine nor yours; cut him!” 

27 Then the king replied, “Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him. She is his mother.” 28 When all Israel heard about the judgment which the king had handed down, they feared the king, because they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice.

Both prostitutes claimed the same baby. That’s kind of the way things are in both Israel and America right now. Note that Solomon did not play. He did not hesitate to draw the sword, as if to cut the baby in two. The prospect was immediate and very real. 

In the midst of the drawn sword, one prostitute was still perfectly willing to divide the baby, aborting its very life. 

The Baby Shall Live!
What’s the word of the Lord? Within both Israel and America there are forces demanding either complete sovereignty over their respective nations, or the nation could be divided. In other words destroyed. As with the sharpened edge of Solomon’s sword, we should by no means dismiss the potential that excruciating division is virtually at hand. THIS PROSPECT IS VERY REAL. 

Fast forward to 7-22 in Jerusalem. The primary verdict I heard the Lord give, with Heaven’s gavel following, is that for both Israel and America THE BABY SHALL LIVE.

Who Owns this Child?
Here’s another piece. While praying this verdict at home in Washington DC, I heard the Lord pose a question. Who owns this child? Which of the prostitutes? 

My mind raced. Who actually were the prostitutes? Democrats and Republicans? Finance and tech? Rogue generals and intelligence experts? Maybe Leftists and the Ultra-Orthodox?

Biden and Obama? Or Trump? 

My mind was reeling—for a moment. Suddenly inspired by Solomon’s wisdom I answered out of my spirit, not my mind. O Lord, only You know! 

Jesus’ answer surprised me. In this case, NEITHER PROSTITUTE was considered the true mother of the baby by Heaven’s Court. Instead, by verdict of Heaven’s Court on 7-22, this baby shall live. AND ZION WAS RULED AS TRUE MOTHER! 

Immediately Isaiah 66:8 flashed before me: 

Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Can a land be born in one day? Can a nation be given birth all at once?As soon as Zion was in labor, she also delivered her sons.

Zion. The true Bride, from the foundation. Loyal stewards of God’s covenant in every generation, appointed by the Lord Himself. These are the ones considered by Heaven’s Court to be the true parents, the true stewards of our respective nations, and the true inheritors of His covenant promise. 

What does this mean? For most of you reading this, by verdict of Heaven’s Court, the future of both Israel and America is largely YOUR BLESSING. And your responsibility. 

It’s time to accept this responsibility as a king and priest before the Lord. Move with Him! Strengthen your faith. Regain your holy resolve. AND DECREE HIS UNYIELDING DOMINION!

No King but Jesus…
