The Dynamic of the Prophetic Landscape of The Age
The Lord has been highlighting the understanding that to discern accurately and prophetically, it is important to distinguish between personal and corporate, national and global prophetic perspectives and realities. Many prophetic voices appear to sometimes contradict each other as they are seeing and receiving from the Lord from different perspectives regarding these three spheres.
All prophecies are but pieces of a giant puzzle pointing to a larger picture revealing God’s Masterpiece. Accurate prophetic revelation fits perfectly into present and future global apostolic realities. Heaven’s strategic campaign is on a trajectory that is moving history forward toward the end of the age, encompassing a global world dynamic that will be wrapped up and summed up in Christ. These global realities are written into God’s prophetic framework and timeline, having Israel at its centre. God has made Israel the lynchpin that anchors all prophecy. To attempt to interpret prophetic scripture and eschatology apart from Israel is therefore folly.
There are strategies of God now unfolding in nations that are being revealed through many prophetic voices. All nations are like pieces on His chess board, and all plays are interconnected, therefore, to focus on certain nations or a specific prophecy, apart from the interconnectedness of God’s comprehensive purpose, is also folly, and can lead to inaccurate conclusions. It is important to qualify prophecies within the larger framework of God’s intentions to bring forth His will on Earth.
Understanding comes through learning to discern between the tension of these various fronts of God’s prophetic Landscape. Critical interpretation is vital to be positioned rightly, to think critically and decisively, and to move in sync with the Lord strategically! For example, in a prophecy given for a specific nation, having the promise of a victorious outcome, first, the time aspect must always be considered, and second, there is the Global context to be factored in, as Satan is presently manipulating, controlling, and moving all nations and all things toward his ends—his tentacles reaching from the personal, to the city sphere, to the Global. He does this through leaders in the political and religious spheres and through both a natural and spiritual army that is aggressively pushing his agenda, and is determined to win at all costs.
God does not give one voice or ministry the full prophetic scope of His work, as that ministry or voice would quickly become an idol to others. The Lord parcels out revelation throughout many Ministries, spheres, and voices with the intention that the parts begin to form one picture, and the voices would become one—the endgame is service to God in union of mind, heart, and purpose, as scripture tells us, “For we know in part and we prophesy in part…” (1 Cor. 13:9). In this time of emergence into the new thing and the New Wineskin, it is important to not label prophetic voices as false prophets, as they may be prophesying a given part from a certain perspective. It is important to discern the full picture and understand the broader scope of things as God works His strange and unusual plan.
“For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim, He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon—That He may do His work, His awesome work, And bring to pass His act, His unusual act.” Isaiah 28:21
The coming global shaking and victory in personal breakthroughs, both fit together like two pieces of a puzzle—it is not one or the other! This is simply the Word of the Lord given to the prophet Isaiah in chapter 60. Prophetically, on the personal level, the Body of Christ is about to receive a tsunami wave of breakthroughs and promises fulfilled. Many would agree, with those who are experiencing the beginning stages of this. Much that has been expected from the Lord, is now in the process of being released—be alert, ready to receive, and be willing to take the risk required to step into the new! The breakthroughs are coming to lock into position and secure those who are expectant. Its purpose is to strengthen the saints to stand and prosper in their service to the Lord, in the shakings that the nations will experience to break them free from malevolent forces embedded within their foundations, structures, and systems.
When breakthroughs and blessings come, it is important to recognize that the war is not over! Don’t put down your swords, don’t lay down your shields, or abandon your posts! Be alert and girded up at all times as we press on to living in ascension Glory over the present situation and enemy forces.
“In that day the LORD of hosts will be for a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the remnant of His people, For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.” Isaiah 28:5-6
