Over the last ten days, ALL NATIONS has had some of the most extraordinarily prophetically active days of our eight-year existence. The Lord shared this precipitating word with us on February 24, 2026 – five days before the United States and Israel launched their attack on the nation of Iran:
“It’s the threshing-floor or war…”
The Lord is Speaking – not mumbling. His message is not a cryptic mystery. Neither is it complicated. The Lord is making it patently clear, both in the spirit, and the flesh to those who are willing to yield their self-saving notions to faithfully respond to the kairos Word of the Lord.
The Church in America can either come to the Lord in humility, repentance, contrition, and the fear of the Lord, or we will continue to escalate our war against the Kingdom of God through our pride; our abusive ways; our jurist accusations; love of hostility; our self-exoneration; our racial animosity; our political idolatry; our sexual perversion; denials and obfuscation of the truth; our disregard for meekness and peace-making; and our zealous normalization of these qualities within the Household of God.
Of course, 95% of our family considers these indictments hyper-critical, woke, fanatical, and even heretical. But the fact of the matter is, YHWH has never curtailed His judgments simply because His analysis comprised the minority report.
In (Exodus 32:17-18) the Word of God tells us that the Lord hears war much differently than we do. Our festive, political pride, and militaristic crusades sounds like war in our camp to heaven. And right now, by His grace, the Spirit is broadcasting how our celebration is being received in the courts of the Lord.
What does the One Who sits upon the throne hear coming from our evangelical camp right now?
The code-name for our country’s military campaign is #EpicFury. (Of course it is.) In this hashtag, the Lord is giving us the identity of the crusading spirit that our evangelical family is giving “enthusiastic approval” (Romans 1:32) to… And, for anyone who is remotely familiar with the eschatological texts, “#EpicFury should sound exceedingly similar to the phrase David uses in Psalm 2:1 “Why do the nations rage?”
Over the last several weeks, the Church has increasingly found herself defending escalating tirades of furious rage coming from President Trump, and Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. These curse-laden statements and invocations, frequently issued with the Name of Jesus attached to them, (and even the “reign of hell”) are windows into the the rage that stirs in their souls, and – more importantly – the furious spirit we, the people of God, have been taking into our own bosom.
The American Church stands like a petulant child refusing to submit to the discipline of the Father. In our moment of defiance, the Lord’s penetrating question is this: “How much rage will we allow to consume us as we resist His cleansing light? In our temper-tantrum of defiance, how much of hell’s fury do we want to fill ourselves with?”
Friends, the Lord is kindly, and firmly showing us, the “rage” from Psalm 2 isn’t “out there”, separate from us. It is greatly within us, crouching, waiting for an opportunity to master us. (Genesis 4:7)
Question: What happens to a people who refuse to humble themselves before the Lord’s many warnings? What befalls those who, instead, clothe themselves in raging accusation, self-justifying narratives, and hostile conspiracies?
Often, the Lord responds to the spiritual deafness of His people, with a natural, visual picture of our spiritual condition. In other words, HE USES SIGN LANGUAGE to arrest our carnal senses when we’ve lost our soulish ability to hear His Voice.
If we’re only seeing the attacks on Iran on a socio-political level, we’re missing the SIGN-LANGUAGE OF HEAVEN. We’re not receiving the communication the Spirit wants us to grasp. This war is a blaring siren to the American evangelical Church.
The Lord is saying, “The epic fury I’m concerned about is YOUR EPIC FURY, CHURCH! Repent!! Repent of your defensive self! You call it peace, valor, honor, protection and righteousness – but I call it ‘war’. In your resistance to Me you have filled yourselves with raging self-determination. And you have no vision of how to control it, or how it’s igniting hostility and death all around you. Where will your self-justification carry you? You do not know… Humble yourselves. Come to My threshing-floor. Let me show you what’s seeking to master you in your spirit. Let Me lead you to repentance. Let me restore the fear of the Lord to you. Come and let Me cultivate radical meekness, uncircumstantial joy, earthquake-proof faith, vibrant righteousness, peaceable wisdom, unoffendable tenderness, and the visage of My Son within the core of your being. If you do not, you will be consumed by this epic fury.”
Ultimately, Our Refusal to Come to His Threshing Floor Becomes a Raging Defiance
This is no hour to defend “self” with pithy memes, talking-points from pundits, and “drive-by” human opinions. This is an hour for the people of God to go into the tent, lay face-down before the Lord; be quiet, and allow every whisper of rage within us to be swallowed up by the self-abasing glory of the Lord. This is an hour to be brought to silence before the thunder of His Voice! It’s only in this prostrate posture that our hearts will take root in His.
“Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord, “Who take counsel, but not of Me, and who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin… Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel: “Because you despise this Word, and trust in oppression and perversity, and rely on them, therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall… And The Lord shall break it like the breaking of the potter’s vessel, which is broken in pieces; He shall not spare… For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: “IN REPENTANCE AND PATIENT QUIETNESS YOU SHALL BE SAVED; IN UNDISTURBED TRUST SHALL BE YOUR STRENGTH… But you would not.” (Isaiah 30:1, 9, 15)
