Prophetic voice Joseph Z is sounding the alarm once again—this time with a word that points to the years 2026 and 2030 as pivotal markers in both the natural and spiritual realms.
According to Z, 2026 will mark a time of “picking up sticks” for the nation. He believes this will be a defining year for us to rebuild the country after a season of upheaval. “2026 is the valley of decision where we pick up sticks. And by picking up sticks, it’s like when there’s been a storm and there’s been a challenge, there’s been all these issues… we begin to restructure and reforge, rebuild what God’s called us to do,” he says.

Z urged intercessors to pray strategically, referencing Matthew 24:20, where Jesus told His followers to pray their flight would not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. “I believe 2026 is going to be a pick-up sticks year where we have the opportunity to have victory all around the nation and see longevity if we win 2026 in some of these states and mayoral races,” he continues.
Z also issued a prophetic warning from Revelation about the year 2030 and how it relates to what could happen 10 years later in 2040. “Revelation chapter 1…this has to do with 2030 and 2040,” says Z. “The Lord showed me the year 2030 and said, ‘The governments of the world have chosen to make this their great reset. They’re saying it is their day of institutional worship, Antichrist spirit worship, and it is their Lord’s Day 2030, the great reset.'”
However, Z believes that God would like to strike down this agenda. “He said, ‘I am going to show up that year.’ And then I saw it extended to 2040…this does not happen automatically, but I believe the Spirit of the Lord wants to strike down Agenda 2030.”

The message from Joseph Z is a clear call to action: what we do now—through prayer, intercession and deliberate engagement—will ripple far beyond 2026. By “picking up sticks” and rebuilding what has been broken, believers position themselves to shape not only the immediate future but also the unfolding events of 2030 and beyond.
