During a recent livestream, prophetic voice Amanda Grace warned viewers that the U.S. is entering a volatile moment marked by “a temperature of revolt that is rising in the nation,” alongside “a threat of another shutdown looming.”
For Grace, there are clearly spiritual reasons behind what is happening in our government. “There…is a temperature of revolt that is rising in the nation while there’s a threat of another shutdown looming. And this has biblical roots to it.”
Grace framed her message around unfolding headlines and what she believes are spiritual patterns beneath them—beginning with developments tied to Minnesota. “It is [an] insurrection. If this is true, this is what you’re watching. You’re watching in many ways an attempted insurrection of the law.”

From there, Grace broadened her focus to what she described as a “strategically timed” national backlash surrounding immigration enforcement. “Trump is facing a broad cultural revolt,” she read from a report, then asserted, “This revolt is strategically timed…because of the midterms… but secondly, this revolt has to do with Absalom.”
Grace’s central biblical parallel came from 2 Samuel 15, where Absalom positions himself at the gate, appealing to citizens who feel unheard. “Gates are points of access,” Grace said. “There are gates to nations… There are gates to cities.”
She argued that Absalom’s method—leveraging justice language to win hearts—mirrors modern unrest. “Absalom acted… and Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel,” she read, later adding, “the point of contention is justice… We’re watching that right now.”
In Grace’s view, this “spirit of Absalom” grows when leaders fail to confront rebellion early. “David didn’t deal with Absalom when he had the chance,” she said. “He did not go after the root of the issue… and that is where the roots of the conspiracy began to anchor.”
She then connected today’s climate to Abraham Lincoln’s era, citing language about a “militant spirit” in Congress and rising dissent during wartime. “Their dissent grew strong,” Grace said, drawing a straight line to current tensions: “”
Grace also suggested the term “shutdown” itself fits the Absalom pattern, pointing to David’s temporary displacement from Jerusalem. “Do you know that because of Absalom overturning the kingdom… the government shut down?” she claimed. “Those 10 concubines were the essential workers for the government shutdown.”
This moment is not merely political—it is spiritual, and history shows what happens when rebellion is allowed to fester unchecked. In such a volatile hour, our response cannot be passivity or pride, but rather humility before God that leads us to pray and repent on behalf of the nation.
