A prophetic word from Ark of Grace Ministries’ Amanda Grace has emerged, connecting the ongoing government shutdown, the month of November, and the biblical symbolism of 40 days—revealing a divine warning and a call to repentance for America.
A Fast, a Shutdown and the 9/11 Pattern
According to Amanda Grace, the Lord led her to call a three-day fast from Nov. 9–11, 2025—a window marked prophetically by “9/11” appearing in the dates themselves. Within that same window, after 40 days of government shutdown (which began Oct. 1, 2025—Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement), movement suddenly began in Congress as eight Democrats broke ranks to side with Republicans in a step toward reopening the government.

As Grace points out, the shutdown’s start date (10/1/25) equals 9/11 when added together, and its 40th day, Nov. 9, fell within the 9/11 window—signifying a season of testing, repentance and divine reckoning. The number 40 represents both the judgment and purification seen in the days of Noah’s flood and the testing of Jesus in the wilderness.
In Matthew 4:9–11, Satan offers Jesus power in exchange for worship, but Jesus rebukes him. Verse 11 marks the moment the devil leaves—symbolic of deliverance and breakthrough in this eleventh month. The message to Congress, Grace says, is clear: “Do not compromise for power.”
Haman, Hamas and the Spirit of Amalek
Drawing from Genesis 6:11, where the earth was filled with violence (the Hebrew word chamas), the word itself bears prophetic resemblance to “Hamas.” Grace notes how the connection signifies a global and spiritual rise of violence, rebellion and corruption—a warning parallel to today’s political climate.
She then points out that, just as Haman in the book of Esther came from the line of Amalek —the same spiritual line of pride, hatred, and destruction —this same line seeks to arise again in modern political systems. However, just as Haman rises, Esther must also arise.
Esther Hidden in New York
Grace’s prophetic word points to the state of New York as a focal point. The mayoral and upcoming gubernatorial races mirror the Esther narrative. Grace says that within the names of Governor Kathy Hochul and Rep. Elise Marie Stefanik, who is running against her, the Lord has hidden the names “Esther” and “Shushan” (the citadel where Esther reigned). She sees this as a sign that an Esther anointing will emerge to counter the Haman spirit rising in political power.
As Haman fell and Mordecai took his place, so too will the Lord raise up righteous leadership to replace those who align with corruption and spiritual darkness.
Hidden Codes, 9/11 Threads and Intercession
During the fast, the Lord revealed prophetic patterns to Grace in recent national events—including assassination attempts, shutdowns and political movements—that contain hidden “codes” of the enemy’s plans. Just as Scripture commands in Revelation 13:18 to “calculate” and discern hidden things, this word emphasizes that the enemy hides his agendas in plain sight.
The prophetic call is to intercede for those under spiritual and political attack—specifically, Sec. Marco Rubio and Eric Trump, both of whom were highlighted as potential targets for future enemy schemes.
The Warning of Haman and Absalom
Grace further discusses how both the Haman and Absalom spirits are working simultaneously in America:
- Haman seeks to destroy God’s people through political decrees and alliances.
- Absalom seeks to undermine authority through manipulation, flattery and rebellion.
Just as Absalom “stole the hearts of the people” to launch a coup against David (2 Sam. 15), the same spirit now attempts to infiltrate government, media and even the church—using the language of justice and compassion to mask ambition and rebellion.

A Call to Prayer and Spiritual Warfare
Grace calls for Christians to intercede deeply for the nation, for President Trump’s protection and for righteous leadership to arise in every sphere. The Lord is exposing the “coded” plans of the enemy so that the church can pray, disrupt and overturn them.
Watch, pray, and calculate. Do not be distracted by the noise. The mystery of lawlessness is at work, but My people will not be ignorant of the enemy’s devices. Intercede, for I am uncovering Haman’s plot, and I am raising up My Esthers to reverse the decree.
As these prophetic patterns unfold, believers are reminded that God still rules over nations, kings and governments. The same Lord who turned Haman’s plot into deliverance for Israel can still redeem and restore America.
