prophecy update. If you're able to stay, we'd certainly encourage you to do so.

If you need to leave, God bless you. Have a blessed week in the Lord.

So for today's update, really looking forward actually to the update today,

I'm going to paint the prophetic canvas with a broad

brush of source. And what I'm hoping to do is provide all of us, myself included, a better perspective, specifically as it relates to the direction

that everything is going in the days and weeks and months that lie ahead. In order to do that, I want to color in the backdrop, as it were,

and to the rushing of nations, plural, nations plural, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters.

The nations, plural again, verse 13, will rush like the rushing of many waters, but God, I like that. I love those two words.

But God will rebuke them and they will flee far away and be chased like the chaff of the, I want to highlight this, mountains, mountains before the wind, like a rolling

thing before the whirlwind. Then behold, at even tide trouble. Notice the specificity of

this. And before the morning, overnight, if you please.

He, he, interesting, is no more. This is the portion of those, and here's another interesting detail.

Who plunder us, dare I say, as Ezekiel 38 verse 13, would say, to take a spoil,
