After the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk, Erika Kirk has risen up in grief and determination to make sure his legacy of Turning Point USA will not only continue, but grow beyond anything he ever dreamed. Amid her bold statements and the spark of revival of people returning to church since Charlie Kirk’s death, a prophecy from the late Kim Clement has come back to the surface. Years ago, Clement predicted that an “Esther” would rise up in America in the middle of tragedy and sorrow to unite the nation. The question now: Is Erika Kirk America’s destined Esther?
In an analysis of the Esther prophecy, Clement’s daughter, Donné Clement Petruska, and Christie Desfontaine dove into this prophetic word and the parallels between Erika Kirk and Esther.

Previously, Clement prophesied: “As the beginning of the restoration, as it begins, there shall be a woman that shall rise up. A woman that shall be strong in faith, virtuous, beautiful in eyes, and her eyes shall be so beautiful. Eyes shall be round and big. I have crowned her, says the Lord. As I crowned Esther.”
“Here’s what’s interesting,” Petruska said. “Erika Kirk was crowned Miss Arizona in 2012, a year after [Kim Clement] prophesied that. She has a juris master’s degree in Christian leadership, and that to me covers the strong in faith, virtuous. She does have beautiful big eyes, a very light blue, so they really shine.”
Petruska further points out that part of what her father prophesied was about schools being free from murder when this Esther would rise up. Erika Kirk’s rise up to the stage of Turning Point USA comes after school shootings and her husband’s own assassination at the Utah Valley University campus. However, following Kirk’s death, Petruska points out that people on the left are now saying, “You’ve seen a lot of middle Democrats move over to the Republican side, and you’ve seen since the murder of Charlie Kirk how many people have said, ‘I’m done. I’m moving over here now because that’s not what I am anymore.'”
She also points to her father’s words in the Esther prophecy that described how people would say, “We hated her, but now we love her.” This ties into the fact that before his death, many people despised Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA. Petruska also noted how her father saw that as this woman would rise up, restoration of the nation would start to unfold.
“Now, we’re only nine months into a four-year presidency.” Petruska said, pointing to Trump’s attempt to heal the nation.
