Prophetic voice Amanda Grace is sounding an alarm over what she believes is a significant spiritual convergence taking place in America this summer.
During a recent broadcast titled “The Iran Deal and Altars Being Raised,” Grace pointed to a series of developments—including reports of the latest U.S.-Iran agreement, the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, America’s upcoming 250th anniversary celebrations and the FIFA World Cup—as events believers should watch closely through a biblical lens.
“The timing of this Iran deal and something Obama is doing is on a course to completely all converge in this very short period of time,” Grace said.
Much of Grace’s message focused on the June 19 opening of the Obama Presidential Center. While many view the project simply as a presidential library and museum, Grace argued that it represents something much deeper spiritually.
“There is an altar being built in America out of Chicago,” she said.

Throughout the broadcast, Grace repeatedly referenced biblical accounts involving Baal worship, Gideon and Jehu, drawing parallels between Old Testament spiritual battles and what she believes are modern-day attempts to influence nations and cultures.
She pointed to Judges 6, where Gideon was instructed to tear down an altar to Baal and build an altar to the Lord in its place. Grace suggested this biblical principle remains relevant today as believers seek God’s direction for America.
The prophetic commentator also examined reports surrounding a proposed agreement between the United States and Iran. Referencing Persia’s role in Ezekiel 38, Grace argued that current developments in the Middle East should be viewed carefully by Christians seeking to understand unfolding world events.
At the same time, she highlighted what she described as an unusual convergence of major events, including the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, international sporting events and national celebrations surrounding America’s 250th anniversary.
These developments are not random.
“We need to pray because these components coming together are not an accident,” she said.
Grace also repeatedly emphasized that believers should respond with prayer rather than fear.
She encouraged Christians to seek the Lord for discernment and to remain grounded in Scripture as they navigate an increasingly complex cultural and political landscape.
“This is why we have to pray for the president. This is why we have to pray for the cabinet. This is why we have to pray and intercede for the nation,” Grace said.
The broadcast concluded with a call for believers to deepen their prayer lives, study God’s Word and remain spiritually alert.
As national and global events continue to unfold, Grace believes the church’s greatest responsibility is not panic, but prayer—trusting that God remains sovereign over nations, leaders and every season ahead.
