Beginning this past Friday, massive riots erupted across Los Angeles, so severe that over 2,000 National Guardsmen and more than 700 Marines were deployed into the city. But it hasn’t stopped there. Since then, protests have begun breaking out in every major city across America, with thousands more scheduled in the coming days.
Many news outlets and media personalities are already comparing what’s happening to the unrest we saw in 2020. But I’m here to tell you—this isn’t the same. What we are witnessing now is something entirely different. Much more sinister.Much more evil . And what’s coming next will be far more catastrophic.
What if I told you we are following an ancient pattern—an ancient blueprint, an ancient biblical prophecy—that has occurred over and over throughout the entire Bible and all of history?A pattern that is connected not just to the past, but also to the future.A pattern that reveals where we are right now—and where we are heading next.
In this message, I’m going to reveal that prophetic pattern. I’m going to show you:
· What the signs are
· What do they mean
· Why are they happening
· And what is coming next
PROPHETIC CONTEXT
To understand what's coming, we must recognize the pattern and the signs, and what they signify. Because the Bible tells us that nothing new occurs under the sun—everything repeats itself over and over.
What I’m about to reveal is not based on speculation, but based upon very concise biblical prophetic patterns that occur throughout all Scripture.
One of the earliest prophetic publications our ministry published—warnings I received—came in June of 2017.
I was reading in 1 Samuel chapters 3 through 5 about the war that broke out between the Israelites and the Philistines. The high priest of the house of Eli was guilty of misleading Israel into sin and idolatry. They were abusing the people and treating the Lord's offerings and sacrifices with contempt. So the Lord raised a new leader—Samuel—to lead a new generation back to the Lord and prophesied that He was putting an end to what was occurring.
He did this by bringing the Philistines against Israel, causing the death of Eli and his sons, and allowing for the Ark of the Covenant to be stolen by the Philistines, resulting in a massive plague breaking out over the Philistine camp for seven months.
At this, the Lord began to reveal to me that something was amiss with America. There was an apostasy occurring—a falling away from truth, a rejection of righteousness—and this would result in coming judgments over the nation.
However, it wasn’t just about America. It was connected to Israel, biblical prophecy, and the end times. Because every time a nation rises or falls in Scripture, it’s always connected to how they treat God’s covenant, His Word, and especially His people—Israel.
Just five days after that phone call from the CDC, I received my first prophetic dream.It was a harbinger. A warning that would manifest through a storm.
In the dream, I saw a massive hurricane coming to strike Houston, Texas. And just as the Lord showed me, it came to pass.
That same year—2017—became one of the most catastrophic hurricane seasons in U.S. history.
Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas on August 25th, 2017, as a Category 4 storm, with sustained winds of 130 miles per hour.It dropped over 60 inches of rain in parts of southeast Texas, making it the wettest tropical cyclone ever recorded in the United States. Over 100 people lost their lives, more than 300,000 structures were flooded, and the storm caused $125 billion in damages, tying it with Hurricane Katrina as the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history.
But Harvey wasn’t the only storm that year. The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season produced 17 named storms, 10 hurricanes, and six major hurricanes—including Irma and Maria, which devastated the Caribbean. It was one of the most active and destructive hurricane seasons on record.
These dreams weren’t random. They followed a pattern. A particular, time-sensitive pattern.
Exactly three years later, in 2020, the nation would be hit again—but in a completely different way . And the pattern continued.
Then, on September 16th, 2022, I received another phone call. However, this time, it wasn’t from the CDC. It was worse.
It was an automated survey from Iran, one of the most prophetic and spiritually significant regions tied to end-time prophecy and warfare.
If the same pattern holds, three years from that date would lead us to September 2025. And already, we’re seeing the early signs—politically, economically, militarily, and spiritually—matching what we saw in 2017 and 2020.
What I began to see—what I’m still seeing now—is not just isolated events. It’s a pattern.
A prophetic pattern.
And it’s unfolding again.
REPEATING PATTERN OF NATURAL DISASTERS AND HURRICANE SEASONS
When we examine the years 1999, 2006, 2008, 2011, and 2017, a clear prophetic pattern emerges. Each of these years is marked by an intentional political effort to divide the land of Israel, followed immediately by devastating natural events—specifically powerful hurricane seasons—and national aftershocks in America. This isn’t a political coincidence. It is biblical cause and effect, grounded in Joel 3:2, where God says, “I will enter into judgment with them there... because they have divided up My land.”
In 1999, the Clinton administration began laying the groundwork for the Camp David Summit, where the U.S. would soon pressure Israel to give up land, including parts of Jerusalem. During this time, Hurricane Floyd developed, one of the most powerful hurricanes of the decade. It struck the East Coast in September, killing 57 people and causing nearly $7 billion in damages. The nation had just touched Israel's covenant land, and judgment swept across its own.
In 2006, the consequences of the 2005 Gaza Disengagement—where thousands of Jewish families were forced out of their homes—came to a prophetic head. In January 2006, Hamas won parliamentary control of Gaza, turning it into a terror state. By July, Israel was at war with Hezbollah in Lebanon. That same year, the U.S. was hit with an intense hurricane season. Ten hurricanes formed, including five major storms, and the nation was once again shaken physically as it had been spiritually compromised through its complicity in pressuring Israel.
Then in 2008, the pattern intensified. On November 27, 2007, President George W. Bush hosted the Annapolis Peace Conference, bringing nearly 50 nations together to push for a two-state solution, requiring Israel to surrender Judea and Samaria. Less than a year later, in September 2008, the U.S. housing market experienced a significant collapse. Lehman Brothers fell on September 15, launching the global economic meltdown. In the same season, Hurricane Ike hit Texas with Category 4 strength, killing nearly 200 people and causing $38 billion in damage. The storm didn’t just mirror the crash—it marked it. The timing was prophetic. The land was touched, and God responded.
In 2011, the world shifted again. The Arab Spring erupted, beginning with Tunisia in January and spreading to Egypt by February, toppling long-standing governments. Radical Islamist forces rose to power, and chaos engulfed Syria, Libya, and Yemen. These nations form the outer edges of the Ezekiel 38 coalition, and their collapse was a significant prophetic rearrangement. That same year, the U.S. faced one of its most active hurricane seasons, with 19 named storms, including Hurricane Irene, which swept through the East Coast, flooding towns, destroying infrastructure, and causing over $14 billion in damages. As the prophetic alignment of nations unfolded, the storms mirrored the spiritual storm rising in the heavens.
Then came 2017—a year of prophetic convergence. While President Trump’s public recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital came in December 2017, what many people didn’t know was that behind the scenes, his administration was already working on the framework for a two-state solution. That plan wouldn’t be unveiled until January 2020, but the political foundation and discussions were quietly taking shape in 2017.
It was a mixed season of spiritual alignment and diplomatic compromise. On one hand, America aligned with biblical prophecy by affirming Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, fulfilling Zechariah 12. However, on the other hand, it was preparing a deal that would eventually require dividing the land. That same year, the Atlantic hurricane season erupted. Hurricane Harvey hit in August, devastating Houston and parts of the Gulf Coast. It was quickly followed by Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Maria, and Hurricane Nate—all in rapid succession. The combined toll was staggering, with hundreds of lives lost and over $294 billion in total damages. It was one of the most destructive storm seasons in U.S. history. The prophetic significance was unmistakable: Jerusalem had been touched—and so had the atmosphere.
UNDERSTANDING THE SIGNS BEHIND THE EVENTS AND HEADLINES
Most people today misunderstand what’s happening.
They look at the chaos in the world—the pandemics, wars, riots, and economic collapse—and assume it’s the work of the devil. They blame rogue nations, global elites, bio labs, or corrupt governments.
But the truth is—these things are not just manmade. They are biblical.
When a nation turns away from God—when it falls into apostasy, idolatry, and lawlessness—God doesn’t just send warnings. He sends judgment.
And when He does, it follows a particular prophetic pattern—a pattern that has occurred again and again throughout all of Scripture. Four signs always follow a divine decree of judgment.
These four signs are the same judgments released by the Four Horsemen in the Book of Revelation.
The Four Prophetic Signs of Judgment:
1. War / Conquest – Foreign attack, invasion, military collapse.
2. The Sword – Civil unrest, riots, internal violence, and division.
3. Famine – Economic collapse, inflation, food shortages, national poverty.
4. Plague – Pestilence, disease, fear, and widespread death.
These are not just events. They are tools of judgment used by God, measured and sent according to His will.
Ezekiel 14:21
“For thus says the Lord GOD: How much more when I send upon Jerusalem my four severe judgments—sword, famine, wild beasts, and pestilence—to cut off man and beast from it?”
Jeremiah 24:10
“And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, till they are consumed from off the land…”
Leviticus 26:25
“I will bring a sword upon you to avenge the breaking of the covenant… and if you gather together in your cities, I will send pestilence among you.”
These same four judgments reappear in Revelation 6:1–8, where the Lamb—Jesus Himself—opens the seals and releases the Four Horsemen:
1. White Horse – Conquest and deception
2. Red Horse – War and violence
3. Black Horse – Famine and economic hardship
4. Pale Horse – Plague, death, and the grave
God sends them as a response to the rebellion and wickedness of the nations.
And in 2020, these four prophetic signs all appeared—but in reverse order from how they appear in Revelation.
In 2020, they unfolded like this:
1. Plague – COVID-19 swept across the globe, shutting down nations, hospitals filled beyond capacity, and fear gripped the world.
2. Famine / Economic Hardship – Lockdowns triggered massive job loss, inflation skyrocketed, supply chains collapsed, and grocery shelves emptied.
3. The Sword / Civil Unrest – Riots, racial conflict, cities burning, police departments targeted, chaos in the streets.
4. War – Rising tensions across the globe, and the early stages of international conflict began taking shape.
It was the same prophetic pattern—but happening in the exact reverse order of the Four Horsemen.
And now, in the years following, we are seeing those signs reemerge—but this time, in the exact biblical order outlined in Revelation.
This tells us something:
What we are witnessing now is not just the result of judgment—it is something far greater.
It is connected directly to prophecy, to the end times, and to God’s covenant with Israel.
HISTORY OF US DIVISION OF THE LAND AND PROPHETIC SIGNS OF JUDGMENT
Let’s go back to 2020. That year wasn’t just about COVID. It wasn’t just about riots or shutdowns. In January of that year, the United States unveiled the so-called “Deal of the Century”—a peace plan that proposed dividing the land of Israel to create a Palestinian state. Politicians and global leaders praised it as a bold solution, but it went directly against the Word of God.
In Joel 3:2, God declares, “I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of My people and My heritage Israel… they have also divided up My land.” Although the plan did not succeed, the attempt alone was enough. And almost immediately, the United States was struck by all four prophetic signs of judgment—plague, famine, the sword, and war.
These signs were not vague or symbolic—they were real, measurable, and precise. They struck the cities and states most steeped in rebellion, lawlessness, and idolatry—New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Chicago, Seattle. The very towns that had exalted sin and mocked the Word of God were the first to feel the shaking. This was not political—it was prophetic. It was judgment.
And this wasn’t the first time. Every time America has touched the covenant land of Israel—especially when it has tried to divide it—God has responded immediately, with direct and unmistakable Consequences.
In October 1991, President George H.W. Bush opened the Madrid Peace Conference, pressuring Israel to give away land. That same day, a rare storm formed in the Atlantic—The Perfect Storm—and it sent waves crashing into the President’s own home in Kennebunkport, Maine, destroying it.
In August 1992, as the peace talks continued, Hurricane Andrew devastated Florida, killing 65 people and causing over $30 billion in damage.
In 1994, after President Clinton met with Syria to discuss surrendering the Golan Heights, a 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck California the next day, killing 57 people.
In 2005, when President George W. Bush supported the Gaza Disengagement Plan, which forced 8,000 Jews from their homes, Hurricane Katrina struck America just days later, flooding New Orleans, killing over 1,800 people, and causing $125 billion in destruction.
In August 2001, President Bush met with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah to discuss the establishment of a Palestinian state. Weeks later—on September 11th—America suffered the worst terrorist attack in its history. Nearly 3,000 lives were lost. The judgment wasn’t delayed—it was immediate.
And now in 2023, the pattern has returned. While the U.S. was once again engaged in secret normalization talks between Israel and Saudi Arabia, with plans on the table to divide Jerusalem and include a future Palestinian state, Hamas launched the deadliest terror attack against Israel in modern history on October 7th. Over 1,200 people were murdered, homes were invaded, and entire communities were destroyed.
Now in 2025, the pressure is rising again—and this time, the focus is on Gaza. Under a new U.S.-backed plan, both President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu are discussing giving international control over Gaza, with proposals for the U.S. and its allies to occupy, govern, and even own the land.
But let’s be clear—Gaza does not belong to America, the U.N., or any foreign power. According to Scripture, Gaza belongs to Judah.
In Zephaniah 2:4-7, the Lord declares:
“For Gaza shall be forsaken… the seacoast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah… for the Lord their God will be mindful of them and restore their fortunes.”
This is not symbolic—it’s a covenant promise. Gaza will be returned to the remnant of Judah and not divided, not sold, and not governed by Gentiles, restored by God.
And every time America interferes with this land—every time we push to divide it—destruction follows. Not maybe. Not someday. Literally.
The timing lines up precisely with end-time prophecy. As 1 Thessalonians 5:3 warns:
“While they are saying, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes…”
That’s what we’re seeing now.
