Amid the growing political turbulence and protests across America, Perry Stone is revisiting a prophetic narrative that ties President Donald Trump to the only U.S. leader to serve two non-consecutive terms: Grover Cleveland. Stone recounted an article and teaching he released years ago which drew from the biblical account of Nebuchadnezzar in the book of Daniel and suggested Trump could return to office.

“When President Trump lost the election,” Stone said, “I based the article on the story of King Nebuchadnezzar, where the tree was cut down but the stump remained in the earth… and God restored him back to the throne.”

Stone argued that just as Nebuchadnezzar was removed from power but later reinstated, Trump’s political journey follows a similar restoration. He noted that historical precedent exists, pointing to Grover Cleveland—elected president in 1884, defeated in 1888 and reelected in 1892.

Long before Trump announced his 2024 run or others began drawing similar comparisons, Stone asserted that he and his team had already taught on the Grover Cleveland parallel. “We did this long before this was ever discussed,” he said. “There was a man that was elected president for four years—Grover Cleveland—he lost to Benjamin Harrison and then he was reelected after Harrison served four years.”

Stone also addressed recent anti-Trump “No Kings” protests across major cities. Drawing another historical connection, he cited the labor unrest of 1894 during Cleveland’s second term. That year, union organizers blocked trains using Pullman railcars, leading Cleveland to deploy U.S. troops to restore order and ensure the flow of mail and commerce.

“In 1895, the court approved these measures,” Stone noted. “The entire strength of the nation may be used to enforce… the full and free exercise of all national powers.” He compared this to Trump’s controversial call to mobilize the National Guard during times of civil unrest, suggesting the precedent has long existed.

Using Scriptural and historical frameworks, Stone emphasized the importance of recognizing patterns in governance and divine providence. “As Solomon wrote,” he said, “‘The things which have been are those things which shall be.'”

Stone concluded by referencing Daniel 2, which states that it is God who “raises up kings and removes them,” underscoring the spiritual weight behind political shifts.

By examining biblical archetypes and historical parallels, Stone offers a unique perspective—one that blends prophecy, politics and providence into a compelling narrative about Trump’s return and America’s unfolding destiny.

The Temple Mount in Jerusalem stands at the heart of a centuries-long spiritual conflict—one that continues to intensify in modern times.

According to Messianic Rabbi and Bible prophecy expert Jonathan Cahn, this sacred site is not only the focal point of God’s purposes on earth but also the primary target of the enemy’s schemes.

“Jerusalem is the place that God chose for His name to dwell,” Cahn said. “It’s the focal point of God’s purposes on Earth, and because of that, it will also become the focal point of the enemy.”

Citing Deuteronomy 12 and Isaiah 2, Cahn notes that the Temple Mount is central to both biblical history and end-time prophecy. It is the site where Messiah will reign, and where, according to Revelation 11, worship will once again take place in a rebuilt temple. “The temple is the center—the ground zero—of end-time prophecy,” Cahn explained. “If it is the central site of God’s purposes, then it’s going to be the central site of the enemy’s battle.”

That battle has manifested not only in spiritual dimensions but also in geopolitical events. From the destruction of the Second Temple in A.D. 70 to modern-day tensions between Jews and Muslims over access to the mount, the enemy’s strategy has remained consistent: to block God’s promises before they can be fulfilled.

“What the enemy has been trying to do in your life against you actually testifies what God wants to do for you,” Cahn said. “The very attacks on your life—the very things he attacks—is a giveaway. It reveals that God wants to do something in your life.”

Following the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks in Israel, Hamas leaders cited Jewish activity on the Temple Mount as a catalyst. In fact, the presence of the red heifers—which are prophetically tied to temple purification—are seen by Hamas terrorists as a “detestable religious myth.”

Cahn points out that the enemy’s outrage over Jewish worship on the mount reveals a deeper truth. “Who would call the holy days of God a desecration that defiles the holy place of God? The devil would. He twists everything upside down.”

He draws a direct line from the enemy’s obsession with the Temple Mount to the spiritual battles believers face in their personal lives. “The Temple Mount reveals to your life the strategy of the enemy—not only concerning God’s purposes for Jerusalem and the world, but God’s purposes for your life.”

Citing Zechariah 4:7, Cahn encourages believers not to be discouraged by the obstacles they face. “What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel, you will become a plain,” he said, quoting the prophet. “You will complete the calling that He has given you—not by might, not by power, but by the Spirit of God.”

As the battle over the Temple Mount escalates, Cahn warns that it is a sign the world is drawing closer to the fulfillment of end-time prophecy. “It’s like the devil giving away something—that it’s getting closer, so he’s getting more panicky.”

Despite opposition, Cahn remains confident that God’s plans will not be stopped. “God’s purposes are going to be fulfilled,” he said. “And the obstacles that stand in the way will fall.”

As tensions rise and prophetic signs converge, it becomes increasingly clear that what happens on that sacred ground echoes across the world and into the lives of believers. Just as the enemy fights to claim the mountain of the Lord, he wages war against the destinies of individuals called to walk in God’s purpose. But no matter how fierce the resistance, the outcome is assured: God’s plans will prevail, His temple will be restored, and His purposes will be fulfilled—in Jerusalem and in the lives of His people.

In a time marked by prophetic awakening across the globe, believers are witnessing a surge in supernatural encounters and divine revelation.

In a new teaching video, John Eckhardt went through principles in an ebook titled The Wind and the Word, exploring the powerful interplay between God’s Spirit and His spoken word—a dynamic force that is igniting miracles and releasing fresh spiritual momentum in the lives of many.

As Eckhardt points out, the movement of the Holy Spirit in Scripture is often represented by wind—described as the breath of God, or ruach in Hebrew and pneuma in Greek. This wind is not just a metaphor but a spiritual reality that precedes divine action. From the Genesis creation account to the Day of Pentecost, when the sound of a rushing mighty wind filled the upper room, the pattern is clear—when the Spirit moves and the word is spoken, miracles follow.

To order John Eckhardt’s book, Prayers That Rout Demons, visit .

Eckhardt emphasizes that miracles often occur when believers respond to the wind of the Spirit with prophetic declarations. “When the Spirit of God is moving, that’s when we prophesy,” Eckhardt explains. “Why? Because when the breath of God is moving and we speak, creation, healing and breakthrough can be released.”

He further discusses that God stores up wind in spiritual storehouses, releasing it at appointed times for divine purposes. This wind, much like its natural counterpart, clears away stagnation, refreshes the atmosphere and causes seeds to be scattered and planted. In the same way, the wind of God moves people out of spiritual drought and into new life, purpose and breakthrough.

One of the key tenants that Eckhardt brings up is how the wind of the Holy Spirit can move you out of one difficult season into a new one: “Let the wind and the word melt the ice and any winter season in my life and let the waters flow.” This imagery connects to seasons of spiritual coldness or stagnation, where only the Spirit and the Word together can thaw the heart and bring fresh movement.

Eckhardt challenges prophetic people and leaders not to stay stuck in old paradigms. “What God did in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s is fine. This is a new season, this is a new year. Don’t get stuck in nostalgia with what God did 10, 15 years ago.” Those involved in the prophetic are encouraged to declare new things, citing Isaiah 42:9, which says, “New things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.”

The convergence of God’s breath—the wind—and His spoken word is igniting a fresh wave of prophetic power and breakthrough. The key is to remain open to the Spirit’s movement and boldly declare the new things God is bringing forth, stepping confidently into a future charged with hope and divine possibility.

As the world watches conflict happening in the Middle East, questions about biblical prophecy are resurfacing—particularly concerning the fate of Damascus, one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities.

In a newly released by Living Waters’ Ray Comfort, the evangelist explores how current events may be echoing ancient prophetic warnings.

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

Central to Comfort’s discussion is a chilling prophecy from the book of Isaiah, written around 700 B.C.: “Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city and will become a ruinous heap” (Isa. 17:1). While parts of Damascus have suffered extensive destruction from years of war and regime-led sieges, it has never fully ceased to exist as a city. Unlike cities such as Berlin, which rebounded from near-total devastation in World War II, Damascus remains broken and unreconstructed, burdened by economic collapse and political corruption.

Comfort suggests that a nuclear event in Damascus could bring this prophecy to total fulfillment—which would act as a significant marker of the last days. He also urges Christians to keep watch not only on Damascus but also on Jerusalem, which continues to play a central role in end-time prophecy.

Comfort emphasizes that in this middle of crisis, humanity’s greatest need is not political resolution but spiritual salvation. He explains the gospel message simply: all people have sinned, broken God’s Law and are under judgment. But through repentance and faith in Jesus—who lived without sin, died for the sins of the world and rose from the dead—anyone can receive eternal life.

Finally, he also gives a profound reminder for the end times from 1 Thessalonians 5:3: “For when they shall say, ‘Peace and safety’; then sudden destruction cometh upon them.” As calls for peace grow louder amid escalating global tensions, Comfort warns that false security could lull many into spiritual complacency.

As global tensions escalate and ancient cities like Damascus sit on the edge of prophetic fulfillment, the urgency to discern the times has never been greater. Whether through geopolitical upheaval or personal conversations about faith, the signs are mounting. In the face of uncertainty, the most critical response isn’t fear—but spiritual readiness.

In a recent message, Pastor Greg Laurie pushed back against the growing acceptance of replacement theology—the belief that the church has replaced Israel in God’s redemptive plan.

“Some would even say that God has broken His covenant with Israel and now it’s given over to the church. This is called replacement theology,” he said. “I don’t believe that God breaks promises that He makes. I believe God chose the Jewish people, and they are still His chosen people.”

Quoting God’s promise to Abraham in Genesis, Greg Laurie reminded listeners, “I’ll bless those that bless you, I’ll curse those that curse you.” He emphasized the spiritual debt Christians owe to the Jewish people: “We have been so blessed by the Jewish people. Where did our Bible come from? From the Jews. Where did our Messiah come from? From the Jews.”

Recounting a recent trip to Israel, Laurie described a meaningful moment of solidarity: “I had the opportunity to be in Israel only days ago when we presented an armored ambulance to the state of Israel. And think about that—an armored ambulance. Only in a place like that would they need an ambulance that’s built literally like a tank—effectively a bulletproof hospital on wheels—because the terrorist organizations had specifically said that they should target the first responders.”

Standing before Israeli officials, Laurie explained his motivation for visiting the nation: “I said the reason I’m here is because my life was changed by Jesus Christ, and I began to read the Bible, which tells us all about God and His plan for our life. But I said it also tells me the history of your people, the Jewish people. And so I’ve come to love you, and there’s a blessing promised to those that would bless you.”

The pastor also connected America’s longstanding support of Israel with divine favor: “I believe one of the reasons God has blessed the United States of America is because we have been a staunch ally and friend to Israel ever since [it] became a nation again on May 14, 1948.” However, he acknowledged that this support does not mean blind agreement: “That doesn’t mean that everything the modern state of Israel does is always the right decision any more than it means everything that America does… is always making the right decision.”

Refuting the accusation that modern Jews are colonizers, Laurie said: “No, they’re not colonizers. The Jewish people are the people who are indigenous to the land. God gave them that land, and God says in Romans 11 that He has not cast off His people.”

Ultimately, Laurie urged believers to show love to the Jewish people: “We need to let our Jewish friends know that they have a friend in the evangelical Christian… Yes, we want them to come and know Jesus as the Messiah, but let’s just start by showing our love in a tangible way.”

Christians are called to stand with Israel not merely as a political stance but as a reflection of biblical truth and faithfulness to God’s enduring promises. Supporting the Jewish people honors the covenant God made with Abraham and recognizes the vital role Israel plays in the story of redemption. Above all, standing with Israel is an act of obedience that honors God’s unchanging word and promises.

Perhaps there is something more to conflict with Iran than what meets on the surface.

For believers who are watching growing conflict taking place with Iran through the lens of Scripture, this may be more than just another geopolitical development—it could be a turning point in the prophetic calendar.

In a recent video by Max Lucado, he urged viewers to look at what is happening through the focus of biblical prophecy.

“Like many of you, I’m watching with keen interest as history takes a major turn,” Lucado begins, recognizing that this is not a moment to be overlooked.

As Lucado notes, ever since the rebirth of Israel in 1948, prophecy scholars have watched closely as world events seem to align more and more with what the Bible describes about the end of the age. The regathering of the Jewish people was not just a historic event—it was a prophetic marker, a “watershed event” that set in motion a series of end-times developments foretold in Scripture.

Get your FREE CHARISMA NEWSLETTERS today! Stay up to date with current issues, Holy Spirit news, Christian teachings, Charisma videos & more!

To be clear, Lucado asserts that no one knows the day or hour of Christ’s return—not even the angels in heaven. As Jesus said in Matthew 24:36, that knowledge belongs only to the Father. Still, Scripture encourages believers to discern the signs of the times. And among those signs are increasing tensions involving key nations mentioned in end-times prophecy, including Turkey, Russia and Iran.

“It certainly seems that the key players in the final divine drama are taking their places on the stage,” Lucado continues. And in light of that, Christians are faced with a choice: to respond with fear or with faith.

While the eyes of fear focus on instability and uncertainty, the eyes of faith see God’s sovereign hand guiding history toward a promised future. “God tells us what to expect—not to scare us, but to prepare us,” Lucado encourages. Much like a seasoned pilot informing passengers of turbulence ahead, our Heavenly Father is preparing His people for what is coming.

The days ahead may bring difficulty, but they also bring opportunity—for prayer, for hope and for holy anticipation. “Let’s be numbered among those who are looking toward the heavens, inviting our Savior to return,” Lucado exhorts. At the same time, we are called to be the aroma of Christ, to shine brightly in a darkening world.

Lucado’s message invites all believers to pray and hold onto hope for the ultimate Second Coming of Christ. “We do not know what lies ahead, but we do know that our sovereign Lord holds the world in His hands.”

In a recent prophetic message, minister Mike Thompson shared a powerful spiritual insight involving U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The word, which he says came through a vision and direct instruction from the Lord, offers both a warning and a reassurance regarding the geopolitical tensions with Iran and the future of these two nations.

Thompson explained that during a time of deep prayer and intercession, the Lord began to speak to him about the current situation in the Middle East and in America. As he prayed in the Spirit, he was drawn into a vision where he saw two majestic male gazelles. He instantly knew they represented Trump and Netanyahu—strong, healthy and marked by leadership and grace.

Later, the Lord revisited the vision and spoke three words: “Majestic. Swift. Agile.” God then compared the two leaders to lions, highlighting their ferocity, strength and devotion to their respective nations. Thompson felt led to pray not only for their protection but for them to receive the agility and precision of a gazelle as they navigate the dangerous and complex political landscape ahead.

He introduced two prophetic terms that he believes symbolize divine timing for both nations. “Rising Lion” is a term for Israel, signaling Netanyahu’s leadership and God’s divine agenda for the nation. “Rising Eagle” represents America and Trump, declaring that this is also a pivotal moment for the United States in God’s redemptive plan.

Thompson emphasized that what’s unfolding is not just political, but spiritual. “The whole situation with Iran is going to be navigated,” he stated confidently. “The strength and prowess of these leaders—even militarily—there’s no question. It’s already going forth.”

He encouraged believers to pray in the Holy Spirit and remain aligned with God’s guidance, declaring that Israel and America share a spiritual and natural “symbiotic relationship” with divine destiny. That purpose, he said, is unfolding now—not just for those nations but for believers around the world.

Thompson further called for the body of Christ—what he calls the “Lion’s Army”—to rise in spiritual authority, pray for Netanyahu and Trump and boldly declare victory over the Antichrist spirit and demonic forces trying to derail God’s plans.

“God bless Israel. God bless the United States of America. God bless those two leaders,” he prayed. “And God bless the body of Christ who is rising up in third-heaven authority during these times.”

As global tensions rise, Thompson’s prophetic message urges Christians to stay spiritually engaged, trust in God’s sovereignty, and intercede for those positioned at the helm of two nations with end-time significance.

In a video that quickly gained traction online, Pastor Shane Idleman issued a bold and controversial announcement: “I’m leaving the charismatic community.” The statement, which raised eyebrows across both charismatic and evangelical circles, was not a rejection of the Holy Spirit or His gifts—but rather a call to return to biblical integrity, authentic revival and godly accountability.

“The title was a bit shocking,” Idleman says in an exclusive interview with Charisma Media. “But we didn’t know how else to word it.” His message wasn’t about forsaking spiritual gifts or denying God’s supernatural power. Instead, it was a prophetic cry for reform. “We need to get back to the Bible,” he says, pointing to leaders like A.W. Tozer, Leonard Ravenhill and David Wilkerson as examples of sound doctrine married with Spirit-led passion.

Idleman lamented the current state of some corners of the charismatic world, where allegations of financial impropriety, false healings, fake prophecies and emotional manipulation have undermined the credibility of true revival. “There’s a lot of weirdness,” he says. “It’s not biblical. It lacks integrity.”

Drawing from his own church’s revival experiences in Los Angeles County—marked by repentance, brokenness and full altars—Idleman contrasted the noise of hype-driven services with what Scripture describes as genuine moves of God. “Revival is not how loud you can get or how bizarre you can become. It’s a sovereign move of God’s Spirit upon a desperate people crying out for awakening.”

At the heart of Idleman’s message is a call for accountability. He believes many charismatic leaders have isolated themselves from correction, avoiding elder oversight and brushing aside criticism as mere “spiritual warfare.”

“Sometimes, it’s not the devil,” he warns. “Sometimes it’s God confronting character.”

According to Idleman, real repentance means owning one’s actions, making amends and walking humbly before God. “There is fruit of repentance,” he emphasizes. “Right now, we just don’t see a lot of that. We see defending and deflecting.”

Adding to the personal cost, Idleman revealed that YouTube recently removed his church’s entire video archive—15 years of sermons gone overnight. “I’ve been wrongly accused before,” he says. “So my heart is not in attack mode. But there comes a time when you have to say: ‘This doesn’t look good. You have to own this.’”

He also cautioned against the other extreme—Christians who delight in tearing others down online. “The body of Christ must speak the truth in love. We should not be excited about making videos that destroy people.”

Idleman ultimately gives a powerful reminder: “True revival isn’t clean. But it’s not weird for the sake of weird, either. It elevates Christ, exposes sin, brings repentance and draws people to the fear of the Lord. Without that, it’s not revival—it’s mockery.”

His message is striking a chord with those desperate for a reformation within the charismatic movement—one rooted not in hype, but in holiness. In a time of confusion and controversy, Idleman’s call serves as a timely reminder that true spiritual awakening honors Christ above all else.

In a striking message by prophetic voice Joseph Z, he gave viewers a sobering word to pray into: the possibility of sleeper cell attacks in retaliation from Iran after the U.S. strike on their nuclear facilities.

Z recounted a prophetic word he had from Sept. 16, 2023, which declared that “Israel would march on their enemies.” That word came three weeks before October 7, when Hamas launched its infamous attacks—triggering a cascade of military escalation. Now, following a decisive U.S. strike on Iran, the prophecy has once again proven timely.

But the warning doesn’t stop there.

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

According to Z, retaliation is already being set in motion, not necessarily through conventional warfare, but through what he called “the rise of sleeper cells” within America. “They’re going to try to make problems in America in an unprecedented way,” he warned.

Alongside this warning came a vivid dream—a graph symbolizing a storm of difficulty, followed by a breakthrough and the emergence of a “New America.” Z declared, “We are now going to see the fulfillment of this storm. But on the other side—I saw the words ‘The New America.’”

This shift will not be without pain. The vision included people being lifted and dropped, sand falling and disruptions across the heartland. Yet in the midst of this chaos, the Lord spoke to him: “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe.”

Get your FREE CHARISMA NEWSLETTERS today! Stay up to date with current issues, Holy Spirit news, Christian teachings, Charisma videos & more!

Z’s message connected the chaos to a broader four-year cycle of redemptive instability, a time in which God is calling His people to “keep striking the ground” in prayer and intercession. He specifically referenced spiritual warfare against the Babylonian system—a demonic infrastructure influencing culture, politics and finance.

A symbolic phrase—“Decapus,” meaning 10 burning cities—surfaced again in his vision, representing the enemy’s agenda for destruction. But, Z prayed against that, stating, “We bind that in Jesus’ name.”

More urgency emerged in a nuclear flash vision. Z heard, “The church—the ecclesia—is the nuclear deterrent.” He stressed that if the church continues praying and pushing, nuclear incidents can still be averted.

As the world stands at a crossroads marked by conflict, uncertainty and shifting power, this prophetic word calls believers to unwavering faith and persistent prayer. Though storms of chaos and retaliation loom on the horizon, there is a divine promise of protection and renewal for those who seek refuge in God. Now more than ever, the church must stand as a beacon of hope, interceding boldly to shape the future and usher in breakthrough in these turbulent times.

In a stunning convergence of prophecy and geopolitics, a word released by Amanda Grace on Dec. 8, 2019, appears to have come to pass as the United States carried out a covert operation striking multiple nuclear facilities in Iran on June 21, 2025—the exact date prophesied two years prior.

The original word, delivered nearly six years ago, declared: “Iran will suffer a very public mortal wound, a gushing wound for what they have done to Israel. I’m striking Hezbollah with madness… Israel is going to launch a top secret harrowing spy offensive… and a jaw-dropping military operation will come forth.”

This week, that “jaw-dropping” operation happened.

In a powerful validation of the prophetic timeline, a 5.1 magnitude earthquake struck northern Iran near a military base just before the U.S. strike. Grace emphasized, “When the Lord says He’s going to shake a nation, He means it.”

A Two-Year Prophetic Countdown

Adding another layer of divine timing, Grace re-read a word on June 21, 2023, originally given on , 2021, declaring:

“I the Lord will strike a fatal blow to the red dragon and that sickness shall carry to Persia… shaking, quaking, and explosion shall go forth in that country… The media of deception shall quake.”

Exactly two years to the day after the re-sharing of this word, the prophecy manifested with the coordinated strike against Iran’s nuclear program—a fulfillment made even more chilling by its precision.

More Prophetic Alignment

On Apr. 4, 2025, another prophetic word was given by Grace warning that Iran would be “enticed by a serpent to come out for a strike,” but it would result in “a backdraft through the Ayatollah’s court.” Following that warning, Israeli forces launched a separate attack just weeks later that reportedly scattered and killed top Iranian generals.

Another prophetic declaration by Grace from May 8, 2025, foretold a severe weakening of the alliance between China, Russia and Iran, stating that “two-thirds of its combined power shall be taken from current leaders.”

Revelation 4:7 and the Prophetic Power of 47

A remarkable pattern was also revealed to Grace through Revelation 4:7, which describes four living creatures: a lion, an ox, a man and an eagle. These symbols are prophetically interpreted as:

• Lion – Operation Rising Lion (Israel)
• Ox – Benjamin Netanyahu (prophesied on Feb. 26, 2023, as “the ox who will topple Iran’s regime”)
• Man and Eagle – President Trump and America

Adding even more prophetic weight is the fact that this year marks the 47th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. Trump is also the 47th President of the United States, and Grace linked Revelation 4:7 directly to this prophetic moment, calling it a “divine reversal” of the Ayatollah’s rise to power.

Reza Cyrus Pahlavi: The Physical Cyrus Rises

Grace pointed out that the son of the late Shah of Iran, Reza Cyrus Pahlavi, has become one of the most outspoken voices in opposition to the current regime. In October 2023, standing next to a newly unveiled statue of Cyrus the Great, he declared, “Iranians will take back their country from the forces of evil.”

With “Cyrus” as his middle name, Reza just may be a physical fulfillment of the Cyrus prophecy—a modern-day Persian leader rising to help liberate his people. Grace noted another powerful parallel between Pahlavi and Trump: “Trump was a spiritual Cyrus; Reza is a physical Cyrus.”

The Eagle from the East

Another prophetic connection Grace draws comes from Isaiah 46:9–11, where God says:

“Calling a bird of prey from the east, the man who executes my counsel from a far country… I have spoken it; I will bring it to pass.”

Stealth bombers—symbolized as “birds of prey”—came from the east. The man, executing God’s counsel from a far country, is interpreted as both Trump and Reza Pahlavi.

Grace’s word comes with a sobering reminder: God does not need human permission to execute His will. Whether judgment or deliverance, His timing is perfect, and His purposes prevail. “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof… we bow to God—He does not bow to us.”
