Word For America: The Exiles Are Coming Home - The Zerubbabel Anointing Has Been Released

I believe the United States of America is in a pivotal moment of history that has many prophetic parallels to a particular time in the biblical history, the exile and return of Gods people from the Babylonian empire under the direction of King Cyrus the great who was undeniably used by God as a powerful instrument to restore His people.

I want to prophesy over America and highlight the assignment from heaven in this season to not only restore and raise up the nation of America but also to use her as a signpost and catalyst for the nations, and even more so for the body of Christ.

Out Of Exile

When the presidential inauguration took place in January the Lord began speaking to me that it was going to be a season of rebuilding and restoration for the United States and that He was releasing mantles and anointings to rebuild, recover, and revive this great nation.

Just recently in worship I kept hearing the Lord say to me "Its the anointing of Zerubbabel I am releasing!"

Zerubbabel was a man of God used powerfully to lead the first band of Jews out of captivity, to erect an altar, then lay the foundation of the temple. All of this was under the direction of King Cyrus the Great. If you would like to know more about the prophetic significance of King Cyrus I recommend you read some recent articles by Dr Lance Wallnau or his latest book "Gods Chaos candidate".

Zerubbabel also happened to be in the Davidic line and descendant to Jesus, born 12 generations earlier (12 representing perfection and completeness). He was called both Zerrabbubal and Sheshbazzar. Zerubbabel under King Darius and Sheshbazzar under King Cyrus.

The name Zerubbabel means "The seed or son of Babylon" and also "Pressed out of Babylon". I find both of these definitions interesting because firstly to be called a "son" of a place he was in captivity to being of royal and noble birth reveals that he was labeled and known by the captivity and not his true identity. Secondly I find it highly prophetic to be called a name that also means "pressed" out of Babylon as it reveals that the destiny on his life was to "come out" of the captivity he called home. He is also known by the Persian name of Sheshbazzar which means "joy in tribulation" which also has a connotation of the triumphing while in exile.

This anointing being released right now is leading this nation out of captivity, out of imprisonment, out "from under" the oppression of principalities and demonic powers that seek to enslave it, and disempowering and strangling the life out of the Christians in her borders. I also see the nation coming out of identity crisis and confusion and sons and daughters emerging with a heart after Gods heart to heal the land!

I prophesy that Freedom is here America! I hear that liberty bell ringing over you today!

A House In Ruins

During the invasion of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar the temple was left completely destroyed and it was during the reign of King Darius that the Lord spoke to Gods people through the prophet Haggai saying;

"Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build my house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored,” says the Lord" Haggai 1:8

The scripture goes on to say that Zerubbabel listened and his spirit was stirred and he began work on the house of The lord. He was deeply moved by the word of the Lord that he took it upon himself to begin to restore the ruins of Gods house.

I asked the Lord why he did this and the Lord drew me to the fact that because he was of the Davidic line there was a natural responsibility and pull to restore Gods house. It was in his blood!

"In the second year after the Return, he erected an altar and laid the foundation of the temple on the ruins of that which had been destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar" Ezra 3:8

This anointing is a rebuilding and restoring anointing. It carries a passionate cry to reinstate the altar, the value for his presence to be centre place back to the nation and to the church.

I prophesy that every ruin and place of former desolation will become once more monuments of Gods goodness and mercy. I see the institution of family being restored, unity between racial groups, schools welcoming the name of Jesus back, and governments operating justly and operating under the values of the kingdom, in Jesus name!

The Greater Glory

Ive had visions of clouds many times when praying for America. A cloud that was moving around the nation hovering over cities but something shifted this March when i had a vision of a golden bowl being poured out over the nations from heaven.

Many times the church has been more like the servant in 1 Kings 18 looking out across the horizon and seeing a small cloud the size of a mans hand saying "The cloud is here let's prepare for rain! " but in this season we are coming into the GREATER GLORY that has no end and no limitations, where we will no longer be looking for a cloud, we will be living under the cloud!

"This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty. "The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty. "The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.” Haggai 2:6 -9

I hear the Lord speaking this over America "I will fill this house with my glory and it will be greater than the glory of the former house!" Says the lord. His glory will not be confined to buildings or specific denominations but it will be poured out on whoever says "Yes Lord!" and this glory will change the heart of the nation!

Royalty & Authority

Another trait of this anointing is a royalty and authority that disarms darkness and gives the keys back to the children of God.

"The word of the Lord came to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month: "Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah that I am going to shake the heavens and the earth. "I will overturn royal thrones and shatter the power of the foreign kingdoms. I will overthrow chariots and their drivers; horses and their riders will fall, each by the sword of his brother. "On that day,’ declares the LordAlmighty, ‘I will take you, my servant Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.” Haggai 2:21-23

A signet ring was used to engrave and imprint the kings seal upon royal documents. It denotes authority but also approval. To be given such a thing represents a "passing over" of the baton. Zerubbal could operate in the function of the authority given him.

"So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LordAlmighty. "What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground.Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’” -Zechariah 4:6-7

Wow, even mountains become level ground at the sight of Zerubbubal! I can see this generation walking in this level of power and authority, confidence and boldness to oppose everything that stands in their way. I see a secure bride, one who knows she is approved and beloved, valuable, regal, adored, and highly esteemed.

I see sons and daughters rising up out of the ashes of pauper-dom and being orphaned by religious abuse and into powerful connection to the Father. They will no longer be weak, feeble, and defeated, but powerful and carry a voice that shakes heaven and earth!

All That Was Lost

I see America coming out of debt and other nations removing their hands from the pockets of this great nation. I hear the Lord say that all that was lost, stolen, and squandered will be returned.

"Moreover, King Cyrus brought out the articles belonging to the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god. Cyrus king of Persia had them brought by Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. In all, there were 5,400 articles of gold and of silver. Sheshbazzar brought all these along with the exiles when they came up from Babylon to Jerusalem" Ezra 1:7-9, 11

I feel strongly that this is a time to declare RESTORE over your life for what was lost. People have suffered so much financial loss it has seemed unrecoverable but the Lord wants to do the impossible in your life. I see those who have been through bankruptcy and foreclosure are going to get their names and life back. I see lost homes being restored. There is a wealth restoration and multiplication coming to the body of Christ of America to build up, raise up, and send out!

There Is A Sound

There is a sound that has rung out accross the land. It's the sound of a new era, a sound of a victory already won, a sound that natural ears can't understand or comprehend because it comes from the Spirit. This is the sound that has filled the skies prophesying the goodness of God and declaring and claiming back America for the Lord. It feels like only a foundation slab has been laid, but it's the promise of what is to come.

I love what Israel did to celebrate laying the foundation of the house of the Lord.

"And all the people gave a great shout of praise to the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. But many of the older priests and Levites and family heads, who had seen the former temple, wept aloud when they saw the foundation of this temple being laid, while many others shouted for joy. No one could distinguish the sound of the shouts of joy from the sound of weeping, because the people made so much noise. And the sound was heard far away" Ezra 3:11-13

America it's time to shout in victory and let your sound be heard so all the world can hear it. You are a pioneer nation, a first fruits nation and you carry a key that unlocks the doors for many other nations to inherit ALL what heaven has for us. So we champion and bless you today. We cast off all curses and judgements, doom and gloom prophecies, and any hindrances to your destiny and we prophesy that your best days are ahead, in Jesus name!

RELATED prophetic WORDS:

FOR THOSE IN THE 11TH HOUR

By Nate Johnston • June 30, 2025
(The word below is the transcript of the word I shared live on Friday morning, which you can watch here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tcj1uyGOoM&t=6s )  This morning, I woke up with such an intense sense of intercession. I could feel it so strongly that many people are in an eleventh-hour moment right now. It’s that place where you feel like something has to shift… or you’re not sure how you’re going to keep going. Who’s felt that? Like you’re being pressed on every side, and you’re just exhausted? You’ve been crying out, “God, I can’t take much more.” Maybe you’re in that Gethsemane place, or your own dark night of the soul. Or maybe it doesn’t feel that dramatic, but it’s still heavy, and it’s still real. This morning, I could feel the Lord saying, “Tell them it’s not the end. It’s the transition. It’s the birth.” The enemy is trying to make you think this is where everything collapses. But actually, this is where everything shifts. It reminds me of Daniel, where his prayer was heard the moment he prayed it, but there was resistance in the spirit. The angel told him, “From the first day that you set your heart to understand… your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.” (Daniel 10:12). But the enemy tried to block the answer. That’s what it feels like for many right now. Your promise is on the way, but there’s been a delay. And the delay has tried to wear you out. But I believe we’re in an eleventh hour in the best kind of way. God is about to deliver something. You’re on the edge of birthing something new. And I want to declare this over you: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is about to be revealed in us.”Romans 8:18 That’s not just a nice verse to quote. I prophesy that over you today. The glory of God is coming into the very places where you’ve been crushed. The breaking is about to turn into breakthrough. We come against every delay. Every assignment that’s tried to make you give up. Every lie that says this is where it all ends, we break that right now in Jesus’ name. This is not the moment you fall apart. This is the moment you step into fulfillment. Yes, there’s been suffering. But you’re about to see glory. Yes, there’s been pain. But you’re about to see purpose. I’ve been seeing it too, so much witchcraft, slander, chatter, narcissistic and Jezebelic assignments coming against people’s callings. But listen: this is the moment it shifts. This is the moment God turns it around. Some of you have had voices around you saying, “Just lay it down. Just give up. Stop fighting, it’s not worth it.” But that’s not the Lord. That’s a demonic spirit trying to get you to stop short of your breakthrough. This is a moment where you will have to war on your face. If you’ve got a bill you can’t pay, take it into the secret place. If it’s a diagnosis, a court case, a crisis, take it to the Lord and say, “This shifts today.” Don’t wrestle in your flesh, wrestle in the Spirit. Say this “I’m in an eleventh hour moment, but God is about to shift this.” You’re not crazy for feeling the pressure. You’re being set up for glory. And right now, I pray over you - strength over your body, strength over your mind, strength over your spirit in Jesus’ name. Someone’s legs are being healed. Inner ear issues, vertigo is being healed right now. Adrenal fatigue, broken in Jesus’ name. We break every discouragement, every insecurity, every trigger that’s been flaring up. You are anointed. You are called. You are the head and not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13). You are not going under, you’re ascending higher. I break every word curse, every false prophetic word that’s come from the accuser of the brethren. I see someone standing at a cliff, saying, “God, I can’t fix this.” And the Lord says, “You don’t have to fix it. I will. Will you trust Me?” This is where we stop trying to figure it out in the flesh and let Him step into the mess. He’s not intimidated by what you’re facing. Surrender it. Die on that spot. Say, “God, I let go.” Because this is where He lives through you. Some of you have lost hope because of what’s going on in the world, or in the church, or in your life. But God says: “Get your eyes off of them. Put your eyes back on Me.” He’s not finished. Your best days are not over. I cancel weariness. I cancel lethargy. I cancel every assignment trying to pull you back into addictions or mindsets from old seasons. I see prescription meds - don’t go back to them. Don’t go back. The Lord wants to show you that He is mighty. Let Him move. Let Him fight. Let Him show you His strength. And I declare again: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18 Put your hand on your spirit. Step out of the flesh. Speak in tongues. Prophesy. Activate your spirit again. I’ve been through battles these last few years that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. But every time I hit that breaking point, I get on my face. I die on that spot. And He fights for me. And He’ll fight for you. Lord, show them today. Show them Your goodness. Your favor. Your mercy. Put your hands on your ears and say, “God, deliver me from every lie I’ve believed. Every bit of poison that’s stolen my joy and hope.” Restore marriages, Lord. Restore prodigals. Restore families. Break every yoke in Jesus’ name. That spirit of heaviness it lifts right now. I see people feeling fire on their shoulders. That lightness, that’s the anointing breaking the yoke.. Fire of the Holy Ghost, come. Burn out every assignment. Every oppressive weight. Every unclean spirit, leave now in Jesus’ name. Migraine, go. Shoulders, be released. Pressure in the head lift, In the name of Jesus. I want to pray one more thing. This is bold. I break every demonic assignment especially those rooted in Jezebelic control and witchcraft that have tried to shut down your voice and bring sickness into your body. Be broken now in Jesus’ name. I release boldness over you to rise up and see that spirit for what it is. It’s not welcome anymore. Where it’s tried to shut down your marriage, your calling, your family it breaks now. Some of you have been under this thing for years. But the last six months? It’s intensified. That means it’s about to break. Let’s do this together. Start prophesying. Even if it starts as a whisper. Just say, “I’m not under this anymore. I’m reclaiming my voice.” This spirit has been welcomed in too many churches, families, and leadership teams—but no more. It doesn’t belong. You’re taking your voice back. You’re taking your fire back. You’re stepping into your authority. We need the wild ones. The remnant. The truth-tellers. The revivalists to rise up again. So step into it. In Jesus’ mighty name. I know I got fired up, but I needed to come on and release this. Holy Spirit is doing something powerful. Now go shake that stuff off. Walk your house, put on worship, prophesy out loud. Fight back with the Word of God. And remember: this is the eleventh hour… but it’s not too late. It’s right on time.

I CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF RAIN!

By Nate Johnston • June 27, 2025
I have a short word of hope and encouragement to share with you today.. I woke up earlier this week and I felt something I haven’t felt in years.. Like the fresh smell of rain in the distance. I could actually smell it and my spirit began to burn with excitement yet it didn’t make sense. Like Elijah’s servant seeing the cloud the size of a man’s hand on the horizon. What’s coming? I didn’t feel fear. I felt hope. Change. Courage. A new chapter rolling in. Drought turning into a downpour. Jezebels curse breaking off the land after a showdown on the heights. Whooooooooooosh… the sound of wind rolling in over the desert plains and the four winds rushing around the decommissioned and those in spiritual death. It doesn’t make sense. Wars. Rumors of wars. What is coming Lord? I can hear the sound of rain. Coming to wash the land and usher in revival. I feel the morning dew on my feet of a new day dawning after being in midnight for so long… And I feel like we are coming out of a dark winter. Winters death. And right now I can see the tired old casing that had been spiritually resting on us lifting. The old mantle. The old cocoon. The wandering in the desert. The long and hard battle that has seeped into our skin and worn us down little by little. Burnt out. Used up. Exhausted… dead even. But I could see for the first time a muscle coming to the surface. A fight and a stamina I haven’t felt in years. A ferocity humming under the surface of the deep. Brrrrrrrrrr. Like tremors unsettling the debris, ashes, and rubble that we have collected. Old warriors rising.. The disillusioned rising with new eyes and un-yoked from the past. Yes, winter has passed. Springtime has come. A ripening is here. Hunger is here. Awakening is here in the worst of moments for it to come by natural standards. But that’s when it rolls in and does the most damage against darkness. Like Jesus waking up Lazarus who was 4 days dead, God right now is waking up his church. Chaos surrounds us in the earth but if you’ll ascend the hill of the Lord you’ll see it - the season has changed. You are coming into a new day, out of defeat, apathy, robbery, and putting on strength, hope, and clarity in Jesus name, and God is turning dead bones army back into an army of hope carriers and storm breakers again!

FIREBRANDS, GOD IS PLACING FRESH FIRE ON YOUR HANDS AND FEET!

By Nate Johnston • June 26, 2025
The hour of the nameless and faceless has come.

THERE’S BEEN A MIND-BLINDING SPIRIT WARRING!

By Nate Johnston • June 25, 2025
We are right now in the greatest mind war of our time. The Lord spoke to me recently and said, “I’m coming against the mind-blinding spirit that has come over My people.” You see, right now we’re looking at the potential of World War III between Israel and Iran. We’re also facing the possibility of civil war breaking out in multiple areas of the U.S. over controversial issues. But the real World War III has already begun, and that is the world war of the mind. The spirit of this age has crept in deceptively through fear, culture, and media to hit the Body of Christ from so many angles, for so long, that we have become a people being pillaged and plundered in our minds on a daily basis. Recently, the Lord led me to the scripture in John 11:16 when Jesus was going to return to Jerusalem; “Then Thomas said to the rest of the disciples, ‘Let us also go, that we may die with him.’” Thomas, whose name [Didymus] means “twin,” also represents the double-minded. I asked, “Lord, what are you trying to show me?” And He showed me: there is a double-mindedness, a spirit of confusion that has come upon the Church. It’s leading people away from the Gospel, away from the narrow path, and trying to reason the Church out of its calling and destiny, even in the midst of chaos. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that has come against the Church, cloaked in wisdom and common sense, to lead her into deception. It’s leading the Church away from truth under the guise of love, tolerance, and acceptance. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that speaks fear, gloom, and doom over these times when we are called to speak hope and redemption, and lead the Church into her greatest days. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that says, “Your greatest days are over,” simply because we’re in a season of storms and battles. It’s trying to shut down the Church and make her powerless, when this is a time we are called to wield the power of the Holy Spirit. This spirit is trying to lead the Church into a false sense of safety, when we are meant to be called into discomfort to see the greatest move of God hit the earth. This mind-blinding spirit has created a chatter of witchcraft. It has warred against believers, created factions, and caused us to rise up against one another, tearing each other down. It’s created confusion to such a degree that many are coming into agreement with the accuser of the brethren, with the enemy, on many fronts. But this is not the heart of the Lord. The Lord said to me, “I am warring against this spirit right now.” There is a war, and the Lord is actively warring against the mind-blinding spirit. I believe He is saying over us: He’s bringing us back into peace and clarity. He’s bringing us back into oneness, into single-mindedness. It says in Matthew 6:22: “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy [single], your whole body will be full of light.” This reminds me of when Elisha’s servant was gripped by fear because he could not see what was really happening in the spirit. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha (2 Kings 6:16–17). This is our prayer today: Lord, open our eyes! We must see what’s happening spiritually and naturally. We must stop interpreting life from the ground level and begin to see from the throne room. The blindfolds are being removed. The fog is lifting. It’s time to come out of earthly thinking. We are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Ephesians 2:6 says, “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” We are not victims of the news; we are the watchmen of the hour, the voices that declare from the heights what God is doing in the valleys. Right now, the Lord is delivering the Church. He’s going to use situations around us to deliver us from our own deception where we have partnered with the enemy, with the accuser, with fear, with compromise, with lukewarmness, and with false wisdom. So even now, if you’ve felt like you’ve come under torment, confusion, or compromise, if you feel the weight of heaviness, and it’s brought conflict or distance between you and the Lord, and the pure call on your life, reject it now. Renounce it. Tear up any vows or agreements you’ve made with it. Lay your hands upon your head and pray: “Lord, as an act of my will, I come out of double-mindedness. I repent for double-mindedness. Deliver me from witchcraft, from chatter, and from this mind-blinding spirit and its assignment. I rebuke it now in the mighty name of Jesus. I declare that my dreams will be restored. My visions will be restored. Revelation will be restored. I come back into sync with Heaven, with hope, and I will see clearly in the days ahead.” Because the real war, the real purpose behind this battle, is that the enemy knows if the Church is blind, we will be unable to see in this critical hour. We will be walking with blindfolds when we are called to see, declare, and prophesy what God is doing in the midst of so much unrest and chaos. We are the news, my friends. We are the beacons of hope, the bell ringers of a new day. No matter what’s going on in the world, we carry hope, strategy, and redemption. Step back into clarity and peace in the name of Jesus. “The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” — 2 Corinthians 4:4
