On July 4, 2021, the United States began the journey into her sixth 49 years – from independence in 1776. The nation is in a book-of-Joshua season. Joshua is the sixth book of the Bible and holds the prophetic pattern for America’s sixth 49 years.
This is a season to wake up from slumber or be conquered. This is a season to battle for the promised land. If nothing changes in this season, America will lose the land she inherited to invading forces. An invasion and attack is purposed against the Land. The invaders are stuck at ‘Jordan’ and trying to figure out how to cross over. The invaders have been at ‘Jordan’ since the middle of 2021. The invading forces have a Jordan to cross before hitting America. The first 7 years of America’s sixth 49 years (the 36th seven years – July 2021 – July 2028) is for crossing ‘the Jordan’.
Overtaking America is not an easy task. Only Heaven can make it possible. Islamic terrorists cannot destroy America without the Hand of God. BRICS, by herself, cannot have ascendancy over the US unless the Strength of Israel makes it possible; but her emergence is a clear sign of bad days ahead. Hatred for America is increasing everyday. It is like what is written in Revelation 17: “And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. [17] For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled” (Revelation 17:16-17).
That is the reason alignment with God is imperative for the United States at this time. This 36th seven years from independence (2021-2028) is a Book of Zephaniah season in America. Zephaniah is the 36th book of the Bible and corresponds to America’s current season. This 36th book of the Bible, with the 36th chapters of the Bible, hold the guiding light for America’s present season.
The agenda of Darkness is to overtake America in her 36th seven years – as Esau’s story blocked Jacob’s in Genesis 36, as disaster overtook Judah in Second Chronicles 36, as the tribe of Manasseh faced the risk of losing part of their possession in Numbers 36 – if the daughters of Zelophehad married outside their tribe, as Sennacherib threatened Judah in Isaiah 36, as the king of Judah destroyed Jeremiah’s scroll in Jeremiah 36 and as the Darkness of the Day of the Lord loomed in the 36th book of the Bible (Zephaniah).
THE 248TH YEAR
On July 4, 2023, America celebrated the 247th anniversary of her independence and began the journey into the 248th year. The 248th year of the United States (July 4, 2023 – July 3, 2024) is the third year in America’s 36th seven years. This is also the third year in her sixth 49 years. The basic Bible patterns for understanding the 248th year are
1. The narrative of the third day of creation.
2. The third section of the 36th book of the Bible.
3. The third 10 books of the Bible.
The 248th year of the United States is a third day of creation year. On the third day of creation, God manifested the earth as a dominant productive platform. He first gave command to the previously dominating waters under heaven to be gathered together in one place. God overthrew the waters and established the dry ground (earth). This is a year of overthrows and establishment. It is a year of removing dysfunctional forces to unveil people and things hidden by the waters of evil systems. This is a year of revelations within the 36th seven years.
The 248th year of the United States is a book of Leviticus year. The book of Leviticus is the third book of the Bible and is about connecting heaven and earth through sacrifices and offering and a holy and consecrated priestly ministry. It is about offering acceptable worship to God. The third book of the Bible agrees with what God did on the third day of creation. He dismantled the barrier to fellowship between heaven (firmament) and earth (dry ground). The 248th year is a season of priestly intercession. It is a year of lifting and moving the barrier to fellowship between Heaven and America. This is a year of connecting heaven and earth in America by removing or relocating the waters separating them. This is a year to connect to connect to the Spirit of life against the the sprit of death and dryness working in present – as God created vegetation on the third day of creation.
The 248th year of the United States is a third chapters of the Bible season. It is a year of ‘reset’. The third chapters of the Bible are the game-changing chapters. They reset the course or direction in any book of the Bible. Genesis 3 reset the course in the book. God called Moses to go and deliver Israel from bondage in Exodus 3. Israel crossed Jordan in Joshua 3. Samuel began his prophetic-priestly ministry in First Samuel 3. Solomon received wisdom from God in First Kings 3. Jesus received the voice from heaven in the third chapters of Matthew and Luke. John 3 is a game-chapter. Acts 3 exposed the early church and reset the course of the book.
The 248th year of the United States is a Zephaniah 1: 14-18 year. The 36th book of the Bible (Zephaniah) is a 3-chapter book that can be divided into seven sections. The third section of the book is applicable to the third year in the 36th seven years of the United States. In this section, the prophet introduced the day of the Lord and says it is near. Zephaniah 1:14-18 says, “The great day of the LORD is near; It is near and hastens quickly. The noise of the day of the LORD is bitter; There the mighty men shall cry out. That day is a day of wrath, A day of trouble and distress, A day of devastation and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, A day of trumpet and alarm Against the fortified cities And against the high towers. “I will bring distress upon men, And they shall walk like blind men, Because they have sinned against the LORD; Their blood shall be poured out like dust, And their flesh like refuse.” Neither their silver nor their gold Shall be able to deliver them In the day of the LORD’s wrath; But the whole land shall be devoured By the fire of His jealousy, For He will make speedy riddance Of all those who dwell in the land”. This year is for opening the eyes of people in America to what is on the horizon. The goal is to awaken people to repentance and prayer.
The 248th year of the United States is Ecclesiastes – Amos year in her 36th 7 Years. Going through any seven year season is like taking a journey through the Bible. Every seven-year season has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four years of the season belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three years of the season constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The third year of the seven-year season is the third year in the Old Testament side of the season; and expresses the third 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the third 10 books of the Bible, God sent His prophets to speak to the people. They confronted the people, warned them against judgment, comforted the faithful, and brought judgment on the arrogant. The third year is for the overthrow of the rebellious and establishment of the humble and just. How America fares in this season depends on her attitude and response to the word of God. The 248th year of the United States is a year of prophetic confrontation and judgment Pray that America will listen to prophets sent to her.
