"So when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and there were their dead bodies, fallen on the earth. No one had escaped."
2 Chronicles 20:24
Introduction
As we enter 2024, the Lord revealed to me there will be a greater measure of world order and divine order in the earth. And these two orders will conflict and create flashpoints of warfare. "The world versus the Lord" will become more and more normalized. In short, the anthichrist spirit will only become more prominent and forceful.
The Lord is behind this entire process. He is allowing world order to increase, as well as Kingdom order. World systems are being arranged and rearranged.
The Ordering Of Two Kingdoms
In 2 Chronicles 20, Judah was facing an organization of kingdoms and people, who had agreed to attack the people of God. In verse 24, the people of Judah experienced a miraculous victory against a foe that appeared to be insurmountable. In the end, God's people witnessed the vanquishing of their enemies by the Lord, and they didn't have to lift a finger. All they had to do was praise the Lord and believe His prophetic declaration of victory!
This is the purpose of this Word. Just like 2 Chronicles 20, right now, the people of God are facing a growing alliance of world systems gathering against the Kingdom of God. The kingdoms of this world are aligning in greater clarity of vision against the Kingdom of God. The agendas of the world are coming together more clearly against the Lord. In 2 Chronicles 20, the people Moab, Seir, and Ammon had all come together to destroy God's people in Judah.
Three distinct nations, with their own histories, cultures, and agendas, all could agree on one thing: they wanted Judah gone. This is what we see happening before our very eyes. In 2024, we see the world is gathering against Israel as they are at war against Hamas, a response to the worst and costliest terrorist attack they've endured in contemporary history. And Israel is also at war with Hezbollah at the same time. They're facing two foes in military war, while also facing a war in geopolitics that seems to be tilted in their opponents' favor.
What Israel is enduring is a prophetic sign for the Church. My brothers and sisters, the world is gathering against the Lord Jesus and His ways and His truth.
The kingdoms of this world are being reordered as the Kingdom of God is being established at the same time. These are conflicting kingdoms with conflicting agendas. But God is behind the development of both of these kingdoms. He is in charge. God is, in fact, transitioning the entire world. He’s putting some things into worldly order and other things into Kingdom order. We are about to see a new world order move of God, as we also see Kingdom order.
All of this reordering in the earth will mean great change and sudden change. The changes that are not sudden will still be monumental. Changes in politics, the world economy, world relations, the environment, and technology will all be swift and life-altering for all of us. All of this won't happen in 2024, but we will see a great measure of shifts in these arenas this year.
Things are changing that will never return to their former form.
How 2024 Will Affect You
In your life, God is planning to retire your enemy. There are enemies you won’t see anymore.
There will be new enemies because the old enemies know their attacks won’t work anymore.
You will find peace in the storm of this world. God is bringing order to His people as He is also reordering the earth.
Stay in a posture of praise and worship. Just as the children of Israel exacted a miraculous victory, your victory is at hand. Stay in the Lord. Stay in the Word. Trust the Lord and give the battle to Him. You will be victorious!
I discern many storms in the lives of God's people. The Lord is coming to quiet your storm. He wants you to stay in faith and trust Him. You are His child. Surrender fully to the idea that He cannot possibly fail you or leave you. He is your reward. You can trust your Savior Jesus!
Prophetic Insights Of The Number "2024"
The number 10 speaks to order. It is a number that represents right order. The 10 Commandments, for example, are God's way of bringing order to the world. The 10 plagues He brought to Egypt sought to put things in order. The 20 in the year 2024 represents "two measures" of order, or twice the order. In short, 20 represents an intensification of order. This is to be expected this entire century. This is not new. We've been experiencing a shifting world order for the past two decades since 2000.
So, let's look at the rest of the numbers that comprise the year 2024. Twelve is the number of Kingdom establishment, the number of divine and apostolic order. It’s a higher order than the world order. Ten is good, but 12 is better. The 24 in 2024, represents two measures of Kingdom order. Therefore, in this year of 2024, we can expect intensified Kingdom establishment.
I believe 2024 will bring a greater and more intense collision between the emerging new world order and God’s Kingdom order. The war on Israel is a precursor to great change in the world. The change we are witnessing is a reordering of the world in preparation for the coming Kingdom of God.
What Is Happening In The Unseen Realm?
With all of this in mind, I discern the enemy is raging.
"Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing?"
Psalms 2:1
The kingdoms of the world will become the kingdoms of our God and His Christ. But, the enemy is trying to disrupt the process. The kingdom of darkness is ordering their troops. They are ordering vessels of darkness to combat the coming Kingdom, the expanding Kingdom of God. What we must remember is our Lord is laughing at the enemy's schemes.
"The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision."
Psalms 2:2-4
The Lord says, “Don’t be moved. With all the shaking in the world, it’s a mirage. I’m the one behind the shaking. And the shaking can’t shake me.”
The Global Wilderness
This is a global wilderness that we’ve entered, a global desert. The whole world is entering a place of increased thirst for the Lord. They don’t know it, but unbelievers are going to be put in a position of great lack.
Lack of peace.
Lack of clarity.
Lack of direction.
God is setting up the world to desire the one and true living God.
The Lord says, "Don’t be afraid. Don’t fret. You are worth more than many sparrows."
It’ll look dark and destitute. But just like wildfires prepare the land for new and abundant growth...
The Lord says, “This year of 2024 will be a preparation for the outpouring of my Spirit on the unbeliever.”
Pray into this move.
God is creating a void and a gap for Him to speak into and move over. He’s allowing darkness to emerge on new ways and avenues.
Why?
God wants to give the world a blatant and obvious choice: Choose the Lord or choose death.
Shifting In The Spirit Realm
The Lord has been speaking to me through an illustration of tectonic plates. The tectonic plates of the earth are shifting in the spirit.
God says, “I’m shaking the foundations of the earth in order to produce a new mountain. A place where my people will come and minister to me. I’m creating new worship and new worshippers. People will come from all over the world to meet with me. I’m creating a new worship.”
"Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD’s house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it."
Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem."
Isaiah 2:2-3
The precursor for worship is a heart cry for the Lord. This collision between the world order and expanding Kingdom of God will create unavoidable conflict. And that conflict will take us to our knees in worship and prayer.
In 2024 and thereafter, we will see great collisions. They will all have great spiritual foundations. We must pray into the expanding Kingdom of God. Violence against the Lord’s advancing Kingdom will increase.
“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force."
Matthew 11:12
“The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it."
Luke 16:16
As the gospel goes forth, the enemy presses back.
The Lord spoke this into to my spirit, “The enemy is presenting a full court press against the Kingdom of God.”
That’s what we see with Hamas and Hezbollah attacking Israel. The enemy knows Israel is coming to Jesus and He’s seeking to destroy God’s people.
Do Not Fear!
Don’t be afraid and don’t fret. It’s all part of the plan. As the kingdoms of this world seek to stand against the Lord, He will raise up a standard.
"So shall they fear The name of the LORD from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him."
Isaiah 59:19
God says, "Don’t fret. Don’t be afraid."
"Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity."
Psalms 37:1
Don’t be surprised when the earth seems to go into an even greater level of disorder. What you are witnessing is the reordering of ranks. The enemy is seeking to stand against the Lord. His desire is to bring disorder.
But the Lord laughs because the enemy is playing right into God’s plan to bring His Kingdom into the earth. Great distress will fill the earth. Great fear. Fear of war and famine. Fear of persecution against Christians.
But the Lord says, "This is my plan. Stand and see the salvation of the Lord. Honor me and enter into your reward. Seek my stability. My face. My voice."
The Lord is making a way out of no way. He will cause rivers to stream in the desert, and brings rivers in the wilderness.
"Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. The beast of the field will honor Me, The jackals and the ostriches, Because I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, To give drink to My people, My chosen. This people I have formed for Myself; They shall declare My praise."
Isaiah 43:19-21
God will have His praise! He will take care of His people. And He will give unbelievers a refuge from which to drink.
God has a desire for the nations to drink, but He first had to create the desert so they will become thirsty. God is creating a global wilderness like the days of Noah, a place where the people will be tempted to rebel against the Lord, but they will also have the chance to repent.
This is the breeding ground for the next great awakening. We will see great prayer and great travail in the Body of Christ. The Body will glorify the Lord and seek Him in ways they’ve never known.
I heard the Lord say, “Mary is pregnant.”
The Church is about to bring forth. The Church is about to birth a new revelation of Jesus in the earth. Greater purity. Greater power. Greater urgency. Greater love. Greater surrender. Greater suffering. But great suffering will bring great deliverance.
The people of God will learn warfare. And we will be victorious!!!!
I heard the Lord say, "I am the Lord. And besides me there is no other. I will be glorified. I will be lifted high. I will be honored. I will be honored in governments. I will be honored in families. Without me you can do nothing."
"Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed."
Psalm 37:3
Fear the Lord and do good. He will never suffer the righteous to be moved. Do not fear. You will survive and thrive and flourish. This is the Word of the Lord to you.
God bless you,
