Following the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, Amanda Grace delivered a sweeping prophetic interpretation of the unfolding events—declaring that what the world was witnessing was nothing less than a modern-day Purim.
“What has happened is prophetic and biblical,” she said emphatically, arguing that the timing—just days before Purim 2026 and under the sign of a blood moon—was no coincidence. Drawing directly from the book of Esther, she pointed to the story of Haman, who issued decrees of destruction against the Jewish people in ancient Persia.
“Haman…sent out decrees of destruction…to annihilate them,” she explained. “And the Lord [raised up] deliverers, cause[d] divine reversals to go forth, causing those decrees of destruction to reverse upon the senders.”

According to Grace, the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with the top regime leaders, mirrors the biblical account of Haman and his 10 sons being executed after their plot was overturned. “If this is not biblical, I don’t know what is.”
She went further, claiming even the Ayatollah’s name carried prophetic symbolism. “Hidden within Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is Haman,” she asserted, presenting it as another sign that Esther’s narrative was echoing in real time.
She also connected the military operation names—“Epic Fury” and “Roaring Lion”—to a prophetic word she said was given months earlier: “A ferocious February setting up for a roar in March.” The strikes reportedly began on the final day of February. “Operation Epic Fury…Operation Roaring Lion,” she repeated. “A ferocious February, setting up for a roar in March. Praise the Lord for accuracy because that was the Lord.”
Beyond Purim parallels, she described the moment as both a “divine reversal” and a “Mount Carmel moment” for Iran. Referencing reports that Baal statues were burned during recent Iranian revolution anniversary rallies, she drew a line to Elijah’s confrontation with the prophets of Baal.
“Baal is marched out…There is a challenge,” she said. “And fire is rained down.” She compared that biblical showdown to the current strikes: “We watched fire be rained down. This was a Mount Carmel moment for Iran.”
Throughout the broadcast, she returned to the theme of judgment and shifting leadership. Quoting from past prophetic words she said were delivered as early as 2020, she cited phrases such as: “The Ayatollah and his highest generals…shall be pulled from their holes,” and, “The leader of Iran shall be toppled and subdued by my ox.” She identified Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as that “ox,” previously described in her prophecies as an instrument to “topple the regime of Iran.”
Grace also warned that this event creates a geopolitical vacuum. “A Goliath has fallen in the Middle East,” she said, cautioning viewers to watch Turkey, Russia, China and North Korea closely. “The hunter has become the hunted,” she added, framing the moment as part of a larger spiritual and geopolitical shaking.
However, her strongest appeal was directed at the church. “You cannot underestimate the enemy in this hour.” Grace urged believers to pray with precision and authority, reminding them: “We have been given power and authority from on high through Christ Jesus.”
Calling viewers to read Esther and “armor up” with Scripture, Grace believes that what is unfolding is not random. “We are living in highly, highly biblical times,” she said. “And we are watching these prophetic timelines…be filled.”
