The tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk has shocked the nation, and with it there is a deeper spiritual reality underlying the event.
Prophetic voice Amanda Grace described the scene as symbolic: Universities, she argues, have become “temples of Baal and Ashtoreth, who are also known as Ishtar,” where cultural agendas contrary to God are promoted and youth are spiritually influenced.

Historically, the temple of Ishtar in Nineveh included ceremonies where men dressed as women, a practice now mirrored in the modern transgender movement. Charlie Kirk had been addressing these issues, speaking on transgenderism and transgender violence, at the very moment he was tragically shot. “Charlie Kirk was answering about transgenderism and transgender violence when he was horrifically shot,” Grace noted, emphasizing the spiritual significance of the timing.
Prophetic patterns reveal striking connections to history and numerology. The Assyrian Empire, tied to Ishtar worship, was founded in 911 BCE, echoing the Sept. 11 attacks and the cycles of judgment and spiritual warfare. Kirk was shot the day before the 24 [year] anniversary of 9/11, a timing Grace called “not by accident… this is how the enemy works in patterns and cycles.” His name, meaning “church” in Old English, represents the voice of the church, and his injury to the neck symbolizes an attempt to “steal the voice of the church” in America.
In Jonathan Cahn’s new book, The Avatar, Ishtar is highlighted as the one who’s “possession of American and Western culture only deepened.” Cahn also noted that this goddess called herself as a “transformer.”
In her ancient inscriptions, the goddess announces, “I am a woman; I am a man.” The hymns of the goddess praise her for turning a man into a woman and a woman into a man. She was the Transformer. She blurred the lines between male and female, altered sexuality and gender, emasculated men, and defeminized women.

It was when Kirk was discussing this very issue that he was shot by an assassin’s bullet, an assassin who reportedly was living with a transgender partner leading up to the killing of Kirk. Grace said that, “Charlie Kirk’s blood cries out from the earth as the blood of Abel,” linking his death to divine justice and the ongoing battle against evil. Natural events, like a recent Utah earthquake, were interpreted as God’s reminder that the cries of the innocent do not go unnoticed: “Utah and the earthquake today… opened up to receive the blood of Charlie Kirk.”
In the face of darkness, hope still remains. Grace concluded, “Renewal and revival… the younger generation shall cry for my son Jesus Christ, for they have been wearied and in chains by agendas of demons, and I the Lord am in a spectacle, breaking that in this time.”
Charlie Kirk’s legacy is a sobering reminder that the battle for truth is ongoing—and that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.
