Oct 22, 2025

 

[Editor's note: Below are the prophetic words that Amanda Grace shared during her recent interview on ElijahStreams. We encourage you to read through them prayerfully and watch the episode right here for full context.]

The following word was received on October 7, 2025:

The Shifting: This Is a Pivotal Time

ALL glory, honor, and praise be to the Lord of Hosts, Creator, Sustainer of the Heavens and the Earth, the Lion of Judah, the Righteous Judge. He is clothed in splendor, majesty, and holiness. In His hands are the scales of justice upon which the nations are weighed. His eyes wander to and fro across the earth, for the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. The hands of time are at His mercy, as He holds the foundations of the earth in their place, and to His Kingdom there is no end.

And the Spirit of the Lord says this day, "Ready yourselves, My children, ready yourselves. Be sober-minded and vigilant in an hour of great significance. The enemy seeks to make a statement, to bring an outcry, to bring great accusation against the Church," says the Lord, "against leadership in your nation," says the Lord, "against Israel," says the Lord. "For accusation shall arise from Egypt," says the Lord, "for the enemy seeks to derail and destroy the great shifts that are occurring within the earth. For this is a pivotal time," says the Lord. "It is an urgent time where the course of direction must be wisely followed," says the Lord. "For there shall be blockades and embargoes that occur within hubs within the earth in order to attempt to stop justice from going forth and settling the debts that nations so have accumulated in this time," says the Lord.

Events Coming in Twos and Israel's Reverse Exodus Back to Egypt

Thus says the Lord, "Events shall come in twos, for this is a significant marking of time within the earth," says the Lord. "It is a delicate time; it is a time where the actions of men and leaders shall begin to make agreements to prevent an all-out war in the Middle East," says the Lord. "For at two years," says the Lord, "Hamas is surrounded," says the Lord. "It is surrounded by the nations who once were agreeable to such have bitterly turned," says the Lord. "And the snares that were placed within that region have now come upon them," says the Lord, "have come upon them in a place—Egypt," says the Lord, "Egypt. A place of slavery, a place of defiance against the Lord God Almighty, a place of plagues, a place of the great exodus, a place where a Joseph arose as well," says the Lord.

"Israel finds themselves in a reverse exodus back to Egypt," says the Lord, "once again facing off in Egypt as Moses and the people faced off against Pharaoh. They are dealing with the same regional spirit," says the Lord, "that thousands of years ago enslaved them, and Israel AGREED to the demands Egypt began to make," says the Lord.

"The serpent is around Egypt, circling during such meetings. Israel, be on guard; do not allow the serpent to beguile, as it has done so many times," says the Lord. "Do not become defiant in such as your people were in the wilderness, and serpents were released to bite and infect Israel," says the Lord. Leadership of Israel, place your pride at My altar and see such from MY perspective," says the Lord, "for the lives of those who have been captive depend on such," says the Lord.

Thus says the Lord of Hosts, "'The Spirit of the LORD God is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed and commissioned Me to bring good news to the humble and afflicted; He has sent Me to bind up [the wounds of] the brokenhearted, to proclaim release [from confinement and condemnation] to the [physical and spiritual] captives and freedom to prisoners'" (Isaiah 61:1 AMP).

Thus says the Lord, "The entity in the spirit that is controlling and influencing the areas where the captives are still being held..." Thus says the Lord, "As in the wilderness, [when] I came and tabernacled with My people, so in this time, I the Lord shall do the same. For I the Lord thy God, this day, am ordering from My throne the release of the captives. These powers and rulers must let go of any legal claim," says the Lord. "For there is a weakening and a shift," says the Lord, "and if Hamas does not let go of the captives within a very short window, I the Lord am a consuming fire, and consume them I shall," says the Lord. "I shall do to them what was done to the Philistines," says the Lord, "their physical persons; it shall spread at a supernatural rate," says the Lord. "Israel in Egypt needs to call on the name of Yeshua," says the Lord.

Exposing the True Heart Posture of Both Parties

And says the Spirit of the Lord this day, "There shall be an accounting within the government of the United States for the blood that was shed," says the Lord. "For what was shed was meant to open a legal door for a second attempt on a high leader in your nation. The cries of the nation to Almighty God in this time have weakened such a plan; however," says the Lord, "it has not broken it. There is about to be a shift," says the Lord. "I, the Lord, shall change the course. For," says the Lord, "leadership in your nation MUST perceive the rerouting the enemy has done," says the Lord, "where he has been coming from a different direction and a different angle," says the Lord.

"There are areas of weakness the enemy shall attempt to exploit as your government experiences a shut down. For I, the Lord, am causing events to occur to bring such to a head," says the Lord, "in order to expose the true heart posture of both parties," says the Lord, "BOTH PARTIES.

"For such a shutdown," says the Lord, "choose wisely," says the Lord, "for if you choose to build on sand in this time, 2026 will be lost," says the Lord. "If you choose in this time to bargain away the cornerstones for a weakened, compromised structure, then it will not hold the weight of what is coming," says the Lord. "For," says the Lord, "I am allowing a great pressure to build," says the Lord. "It is being allowed to build in areas of your nation. It is being allowed to be applied," says the Lord, "to Washington, D.C., to the White House," says the Lord, "to Chicago," says the Lord, "to New York," says the Lord, "to Portland," says the Lord, "to Los Angeles," says the Lord, "Denver," says the Lord—"areas where the rulers and dark counsels are on the move," says the Lord, "to attempt to rise up to force a clash with the president in order to power the very altars that have given them their power," says the Lord.

"Amidst such shutdowns, there are uprisings, rebellion, a perceived weakness of such. A shutdown has stirred those spirits influencing such leaders of these areas to uprise now.

Deals to Maintain Control

"The mayor of Chicago [and] the governor of Illinois have met with dark councils, have met with brotherhoods, have made blood deals with gangs in those areas to maintain control. Blood deals with gangs, this shall be exposed," says the Lord. "For the greatest scandal to ever come forth out of Chicago shall come forth in this time.

"For as the media, as the nation, yells 'Shutdown, shutdown!' I the Lord thy God am opening things WIDE UP," says the Lord. "I am gutting such down to the hallows," says the Lord. "Shutdowns will not cover up what you have done," says the Lord. "For," says the Lord, "at the FBI and the CIA, the cover shall be ripped off of such—an intricate plot that was made to look clean on the surface," says the Lord. "I the Lord am cautioning the heads and co-heads of such agencies: Do not allow the cover-ups to go back underground. Do not make deals to keep such in the dark but expose them and tear out the root of 911 that has wrapped deep around these agencies and continues to produce offshoots of such," says the Lord.

There Has Been an Infiltration: High Alert!

"In this time," says the Lord, "there shall be a great breaking up of what has covered such up, and the root in all its ugliness shall come forth," says the Lord. "For in this nation," says the Lord, "there has been an infiltration—the governor of New York is involved—an infiltration to bring forth in a moment of perceived weakness another attack, another 911. For terror seeks an occasion amongst a shutdown," says the Lord. "Terror seeks an occasion amidst wars, rumors of wars, and rogue mayors and governors arising, making such noise amidst the bloodshed in this nation. Terror moves about, seeking to send your nation into complete upheaval," says the Lord, "seeking to be the one who 'rattled the presidency,'" says the Lord.

"For this is greater than the Taliban," says the Lord. "This is a banded network of representatives from these groups banding together by a pact and an oath, like such an oath that was made by Jews and Pharisees, that they would fast until they killed Paul. That spirit that influenced Saul to commit such acts of terror is now on the move to attempt to stop the shift, the great transformation of Paul, in this nation.

"It will take intercession, fierce intercession, and the sword of the Spirit being utilized, and the agreement of the Church to weaken such an attack. For the serpent has not only laid eggs but moved into position in this nation and is posturing itself for another strike around the time of the one-year mark from the election in this nation. High alert," says the Lord, "high alert.

Prayer and Obedience Can Turn the War

"Strategic and powerful prayer can turn the war. Obedience to what I the Lord thy God am requiring in this hour can turn such," says the Lord. "The obedience of the Cabinet and the president and vice in this hour can turn such events that have postured themselves. For just as Hamas appears to make a deal," says the Lord, "the Taliban shall see an occasion and rise up in fierceness—a two-headed serpent. Do not cut one off without the other," says the Lord. "There is a full-circle moment with the Taliban," says the Lord, "that can be cut off and stopped if leadership will hearken unto MY voice," says the Lord. "The advisers, the prognosticators, the company of foolishness yelling in Congress is all noise, that the enemy can attempt to move about undetected.

Logan, Utah

"Logan, Utah," says the Lord. "Logan, Utah... WATCH an uncovering," says the Lord, "that connects to Orem," says the Lord, "that connects to the nation," says the Lord.

My People Must Build

"Amongst the tumult, MY people MUST BUILD," says the Lord, "HUMBLY BUILD, catch the vision, and contend in this time.

"Do not let the tumult distract you or stifle you. This is a window of immense favor I am placing upon My children to build and to take territory and to position now in obedience so the dictatorship that shall fiercely arise with the backing of dark counsels shall not overtake in 2028. (Photo via Piqsels)

They Are Attempting to Open a Gate in 2027

"A fabricated event in 2027 will attempt to rattle and shake the earth and derail leadership that I the Lord have chosen. They are attempting to open a gate in 2027," says the Lord. "Bill Gates has until then to repent," says the Lord.

Cartels and Drug Giants Shall Be Struck

"The cartels and drug giants shall be struck in this time. There are scrolls of judgments that have gone forth, and the most well-known drug companies in this time will experience their greatest setbacks, for they and the cartels are connected in the spirit," says the Lord. "And the cartels, half their wealth shall be seized within a seven-day period," says the Lord, "and shall greatly cripple such giants and throw them down," says the Lord.

The Window Is Closing on the Leader of Venezuela

"The window is closing on the leader of Venezuela," says the Lord. "Grace has been offered; judgment is coming," says the Lord, "a catastrophic fracture to the infrastructure of Venezuela," says the Lord. "For in this time, there is a shift that is meant to fracture the platforms of leadership within the earth who have trifled in MY business," says the Lord, "who have attempted to snuff out MY Word," says the Lord.

France: Rebellion Has Reached a Crescendo

"Woundings in this time; France/furnace at the moment shall buckle on itself along with those locked in a battle with such a leader. Those court cases shall implode, and both sides shall fall," says the Lord, "for the rebellion has reached a crescendo, and the sword of Saul has gone out," says the Lord.

[Note from Amanda Grace: When receiving this, the word "furnace" came up, but its really France. Sometimes when this happens, I leave it, because its piloting to the temperature of that nation.]

The Skies of Israel

"A phenomenon shall occur over the skies of Israel to mark this time," says the Lord.

"There shall be a shocking incident at the Temple Mount to mark the time as well."

Russia and Ukraine Are on Their Last Leg

And the Spirit of the Lord says this day, "Leadership of Russia and Ukraine are on their last leg," says the Lord. "For this is a time of a great shift, and those who do not repent and turn will fall into the fiery cauldron their hands so built," says the Lord.

Watch Indonesia and India

"Watch Indonesia in this hour, and India," says the Lord. "Double I's, double attack," says the Lord.

The Lion and the Snake

"Amidst the sword and spear and javelin being deployed in your nation, boldly proclaim My Word," says the Lord, "so those weapons of mass destruction will reverse upon the senders," says the Lord.

"For the lion and serpent have both gone out," says the Lord, "both predators. One constricts while the other attacks the main lifeline," says the Lord. "Both the lion and the serpent have gone out in England as well, and both will strike in tandem," says the Lord. "It has gone out in the United States," says the Lord, "and the dismantling [of] such in the name of Jesus Christ will expose right before the strike. For the lion and serpent will suddenly turn and hunt each other," says the Lord, "including within their own parties," says the Lord.

Covenants Made in the Dark Shall Be Exposed

"This is a delicate time," says the Lord. "Events in tandem, one after the other... For the nation needs to continue to humble itself," says the Lord. "Israel must humble itself," says the Lord, "so I do not stay My hand in such matters.

"Therefore, submit to God, RESIST the devil, and he shall flee from you. Resisting without submission is nothing more than rebellion, and that is what attempts to arise in this hour with a venomous outcry in Congress, in the nation, in leadership, in the arena where conservative voices speak across the airwaves. They are resisting without submitting. That," says the Lord, "is rebellion, which is as the sin of witchcraft. And the spell they are under, they attempt to spellbind the people with; that shall be exposed and broken, and the true funding source exposed, as I the Lord am examining the voices who claim they serve Me, however utter such corruption and confusion.

"Oh, the deals you have made in the dark; the deal your spouse made in the dark is about to be exposed," says the Lord. "I have given time; I have given mercy. The mercy seat has been now withdrawn, and the judgment seat has been brought forth," says the Lord. "The covenants you made in the dark will now be what causes your fall," says the Lord, "in the light.

"The Conservative movement is in a civil war," says the Lord, "because I the Lord was never the cornerstone of such, and now a counterfeit cornerstone has attempted to be seamlessly switched out; for the 'we' has turned into 'me,'" says the Lord, "and 'my' theories, and 'my' sources, and 'my' story, and 'my' voice when the sheep scatter and fracture is when the wolves arrive," says the Lord. "Some of you are one step from complete loss at your own hands.

"STOP THE OBSESSION WITH DAVID," SAYS THE LORD, "FOR YOUR LIFE IS NOT RIGHT BEFORE ME. YOUR OBSESSION WITH DAVID IS BRINGING YOU RIGHT INTO A TRAP. YOU ARE ONE STEP AWAY," SAYS THE LORD, "TURN BACK NOW." (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

Be Strong and Courageous

"I am a merciful God," says the Lord. "I am long-suffering, and I love My children. However, the time requires a greater level of discipline and maturity from My people in order to withstand and dismantle the attacks of the enemy, the sophisticated arguments in high places.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Make that choice, and step into My plans, My purposes, My timeline," says the Lord, "and dismantle such that the enemy has attempted to put in place," thus says the Lord of Hosts, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

The following word was released on Monday, October 13, 2025, which was 21 Tishrei, 5786:

Hostages Freed, 911, and a Trump-Cyrus Connection

The significance of October 13th in history:

• 1792: The cornerstone of the White House was laid in Washington, D.C.

• 1943: Italy declared war on Germany during World War II, shifting alliances after Mussolini's fall. (So alliances shifted in a war where Jews were held captive.)

Looking at October 13, 2025 (10-13-2025), you can find the two "1s" from the numbers "10" and "13," then find the number 9 by adding up the digits in 2025 (2+0+2+5=9). Then, if you reverse the numbers, you find that 911 is in this date; this was called Israel's 911.

October 13, 2025 was also the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, where the Jews' exodus out of Egypt and captivity is celebrated.

The talks between Israel and Hamas took place in Egypt, the place of the Jews' original slavery. On the last day of that celebration, on a date (October 13, 2025) that has "911" in it, after the talks in Egypt (which was the original ground zero for "Let My people go"—the epic showdown between Pharaoh and Almighty God through Moses—the place where the Jews were freed from captivity), the twenty remaining hostages that were alive were freed by Hamas.

The year 2023 was the beginning of the war. Let me read to you what Exodus 20:2–3 says: "I am the LORD your God, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me" (AMP).

Also, along with this was a twenty-point peace plan. Who went in to get the hostages? The Red Cross... RED CROSS—Yeshua Hamashicah! The symbolism here is wild! Yeshua Hamashiach, Jesus Christ, hung on a blood-stained cross; this is who went in and delivered them out of captivity.

October is the tenth month on our calendar. Daniel 10:13 says, "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was standing in opposition to me for twenty-one days. Then, behold, Michael, one of the chief [of the celestial] princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia" (AMP).

October 13th (10:13) happens to be the 21st day of Tishri.

What Does President Trump Have in Common with Cyrus the Great?

Below is a headline about Donald Trump from India Today:

Cyrus the Great Is Alive: Why Israelis See an Ancient Persian King in Trump

"Israelis have likened Donald Trump to the ancient Persian ruler Cyrus the Great, celebrating him as a modern-day liberator who, like Cyrus who ended the Jewish exile in Babylon, has restored Israel's fortunes through his decisive actions."

"Amid a wave of euphoria following the successful Gaza ceasefire and the return of the last hostages, Israel greeted U.S. President Donald Trump with an extraordinary form of admiration—a comparison to the ancient Persian ruler, Cyrus the Great. Billboards and signs across Jerusalem and Tel Aviv proclaimed: "Cyrus the Great is alive!" in a symbolic tribute to the visiting U.S. president.

Ezra 1:1–4 (AMP): "Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia [that is, the first year he ruled Babylon], in order to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah [the prophet], the LORD stirred up (put in motion) the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he sent a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying:

"'Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: "The LORD, the God of Heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and He has appointed me to build Him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all His people, may his God be with him! Let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah and rebuild the house of the LORD, the God of Israel; He is God who is in Jerusalem. In any place where a survivor (Jewish exile) may live, let the men (Gentiles) of that place support him with silver and gold, with goods and cattle, together with freewill offerings for the house of God in Jerusalem."'"

In Trump's first year, he put forth this twenty-point peace agreement to rebuild Gaza. We are in the year 2025, and the date the hostages were freed equals 911:

Jeremiah 25:9–11 (AMP): "'Behold (hear this), I will send for all the families of the north,' says the LORD, 'and I will send for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant [to enact My plan], and I will bring them against this land and against its inhabitants and against all these surrounding nations; and I will utterly destroy them and make them a horror and a hissing [that is, an object of warning and ridicule] and an everlasting desolation. Moreover, I will take from them the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones [grinding meal] and the light of the lamp [to light the night]. This whole land will be a waste and a horror, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years." (Photo via Picryl)

Jeremiah prophesied that the Jewish people would be held captive in Babylon for seventy years. This prophecy was fulfilled when King Cyrus of Persia conquered Babylon and allowed the Jews to return to their homeland.

Jeremiah 25:12–14 (AMP): "'Then when seventy years are completed, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans (Babylonia),' says the Lord, 'for their wickedness, and will make the land [of the Chaldeans] a perpetual waste. I will bring on that land all My words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations. (For many nations and great kings will make slaves of them, even the Chaldeans [who enslaved other nations]; and I will repay [all of] them according to their deeds and according to the work of their [own] hands.)'"

Seventy years from 2025 would be 1955. Do you know what happened in 1955? Israel acquired four of the seven Dead Sea Scrolls, containing the book of Isaiah, which mentions King Cyrus by name: four of seven (47); the 47th president is Donald J. Trump, who has just been compared to Cyrus, who in his first year has freed the hostages from their captivity and allowed them to return home, just as Cyrus did.

Isaiah 45:1–7 (AMP): "This is what the Lord says to His anointed, to Cyrus [king of Persia], whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him, and I will ungird the loins of kings [disarming them]; to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:

"'I will go before you and level the mountains; I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.

"'I will give you the treasures of darkness [the hoarded treasures] and the hidden riches of secret places, so that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you (Cyrus the Great) by your name.

"'For the sake of Jacob My servant, and of Israel My chosen, I have also called you by your name; I have given you an honorable name though you have not known Me.

"'I am the Lord, and there is no one else; there is no God except Me. I will embrace and arm you, though you have not known Me, that people may know from the rising to the setting of the sun [the world over] that there is no one except Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other, the One forming light and creating darkness, causing peace and creating disaster; I am the LORD who does all these things.'"

October 13, 2025 was the day the hostages were released and the day Trump traveled to Israel and spoke at the Knesset.

Isaiah 45:13 (AMP): "'I have stirred up Cyrus and put him into action in righteousness [to accomplish My purpose] and I will make all his ways smooth; he will build My city and let My exiles go, without any payment or reward,' says the LORD of hosts."

Watch Russia and Egypt!

Matthew 7:24–27 is a warning for nations built on sand: "So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, will be like a wise man [a far-sighted, practical, and sensible man] who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods and torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them, will be like a foolish (stupid) man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods and torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great and complete was its fall" (AMP).

Pay attention for the mid-terms in 2026 and 2027.
