Hello, this is Rick Ridings coming to you with a prayer alert from Succat Hallel. I’m going to proclaim a vision the Lord gave me today. Today is April 8th. During the night here, the ceasefire with Iran was announced.

We don’t know how long that will hold, but I feel this vision somehow ties into all of this. That God is doing and working in many different nations at this time, not just Iran, but He’s dealing with His fiery judgments in our nations.

Lion of Judah

I saw Him as a Lion of Judah sitting on the Throne, as I’ve seen sometimes before. Seven steps coming down from the small lions which I believe represent the prophetic intercessors in the nations. And they were quiet because He was quiet. Very still and just regal, totally in control, but very still.

And then I saw that He looked behind Him at a furnace and He nodded at that. And a mighty angel opened up the furnace. And that angel took out plumb lines out of this fiery furnace. They glowed like metal that had been fired in a furnace. They were like fire.

And the mighty angels over nations came and they bowed before the Lion and He handed them one of these plumb lines to each one.

And then they went to the capitals of certain nations. They took these plumb lines and went to the capitals of Russia, China, the USA, the UK, Brazil, Egypt and Israel.

They stood over floodgates that were at these capitals that were closed. Then the Lion of Judah and the small lions just breathed in the direction of each of these capitals.

And as they breathed where that plumb line came over a floodgate, the floodgate suddenly came open and it was like the pent up floods were driven by the breath of the Lord and came out from these floodgates and they went into tunnels below those capital cities.

In the tunnels were standing rats which held walkie talkies with an antenna. And it was like they were controlling what was happening up above from down below. And suddenly they were overwhelmed when the flood of water of the judgment of the Lord came.

And these rats who were controlling certain people above in the governments, the floods just washed those rats out of these sewers into rivers and then out of the rivers into the sea where they were drowned. Then the Lion of Judah roared. When He roared, the little lions roared with Him.

And I saw that foundations were shaken in all of these capital cities. Certain stones that did not belong in those foundations were broken off. Then I saw that Michael, the Prince of Israel, who had dropped the holy plumb line over Israel, went to Iran.

Fiery Plumb Line

I saw that big monument that’s kind of like a symbol of the Iranian regime’s power… and this angel, Michael the archangel this time dropped that fiery plumb line over that symbol of power in Tehran, Iran. And when he did, the floodgates there opened up.

The pent up breath of the Lord drove that flooding deep underground all over Iran, everywhere. Where these rats were underneath the ground. And the floods began to sweep away these rats.

And then the Lion of Judah roared and the little lions with Him again. And that symbol of the Iranian regime’s power crumbled and fell into tiny little pieces.

That was the end of the vision.

Isaiah 28

First of all, in verses 5 and 6, in that day the Lord Almighty will be a glorious crown, a beautiful wreath for the remnant of His people. I believe that means not only His remnant here in Israel, but also His holy priesthood, remnant, the intercessors throughout the Earth.

He will be a spirit of justice to the one who sits in judgment. We are to release the judgments of the Lord over the earth as we proclaim His word.

He will be a source of strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate. Many of us are feeling the weariness of this long intense warfare. But He will strengthen us.

We must finish what has been started before political or military powers can finish what needs to be finished.

In Isaiah 28. Further, at verse 14, therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers.

He talks to those in political places of influence and calls them scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem.

The context here in Isaiah 28 it was to scoffers ruling in Jerusalem at that time of Isaiah. But I believe He’s saying it to the scoffers who rule any place of power, who are scoffing against the promises and the word of the Lord.

Verse 15, Isaiah 28. You boast we have entered into a covenant with death, with the realm of the dead. We have made an agreement. When an overwhelming flood sweeps by, it cannot touch us.

For we have made a lie, our refuge and falsehood, our hiding place. So this is what the Sovereign Lord says. See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested Stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation.

Of course that’s we believe Jesus Yeshua, who the Bible says is the chief cornerstone, the one who relies on Him, will never be stricken with panic.

So we must not panic at what we see in the natural. He then says in verse 17, I will make justice the measuring line, righteousness the plumb line again, these are the foundations of His Throne, righteousness and justice.

Drop The Fiery Plumb Line of Righteousness

And He said He will make them the measuring line and the plumb line. Then He said, hail, this is a judgment from God must sweep away your refuge. The lie, the the water will overflow your hiding place. Your covenant with death will be annulled.

Your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand when the overwhelming flood sweeps by you will be beaten down by it as often as it comes.

It will carry you away, these scoffers, these rats. It will carry you away mourning after morning, by day and by night it will sweep through the understanding of this message will bring sheer terror.
