A Vision Concerning the Israel/Gaza Conflict from Rick Ridings
A Vision Concerning the Israel/Gaza Conflict
About a month prior to the present Israel/Gaza conflict, on 2nd October 2012, I saw Israel as a strong fortress. I saw that demonic enemies were piling up thorns on every side and then setting them aflame. I next saw strong, warrior angels stationed on top of the walls of this fortress.
Then the demonic enemies began catapulting balls of demonic fire over the walls. The angels intercepted most, but allowed a few to fall inside the fortress walls in order to cause the people within the fortress to cry out to their King to save them. The fires were also used to bring forth refining and purification.
Next, I saw horses running from the Far East with torches of godly fire. I understood them to be Koreans. They lit fires of worship and intercession around the demonic armies. These godly fires caused a smoke to arise that began blinding and confusing the demonic armies.
Then the Koreans as horses began running to Indonesia to start godly forest fires, which would encourage the Indonesians as elephants to run more quickly toward the Middle East to help in this battle.
After that, I saw the Chinese as camels starting to stand up as a huge army, and firing spiritual missiles out of their mouths against the demonic armies. I understood this to be a massive mobilization of prayer for Israel from the Chinese.
The demonic armies started to panic, and tried to spread the flames of their demonic fire out into the whole world. My sense was that they were trying to fan a regional conflict into a world war, which they hoped would cut off a great move of the Holy Spirit among young people worldwide.
But the demonic armies were unable to penetrate the fortress of Israel, and were now surrounded by the worship and intercession fires of the Asians. As these worship and intercession fires continued, suddenly rain from heaven began to fall upon the demonic fires and to extinguish them. The ground where they had stood was now burnt over. Stalks of wheat began to rise up on all these “burnt-over” areas, which I understood to represent a harvest of people turning to the Lord. The stalks of wheat began bowing in worship to the King of the Fortress, Who was now visible on a Throne above the fortress.
I finally saw a scene I had seen in a previous vision of a huge Indonesian godly warrior with his feet firmly planted on Jordan. He was shooting arrows into Saudi Arabia and Gaza. I understood this to mean that there would be spiritual breakthrough by Indonesians in the nation of Jordan. They would establish a strong base there from which to minister into Saudi Arabia and Gaza.
Some Key Scriptures and Ways to Pray:
1. Pray for the Lord’s supernatural intervention that would result in a turning to the Lord in Israel, Gaza, and the surrounding nations. (Psalm 83, especially verse 16; Psalm 118:18,19).
2. Pray for containment: that demonic powers would not be able to fan these flames into a conflict any larger than what the Lord is allowing for His purposes. Pray especially against the use of chemical weapons from Syria and/or Lebanon, or for strong winds to neutralize their effect if they are used. (Psalm 11:2-7; Psalm 78:26).
3. Pray for the right weather conditions. A security expert explained to us that the present cool weather needs to continue to optimize the use of infrared guidance, so that missile strikes against terrorists are precise, and that civilian casualties are minimized.
4. Pray for Israel to truly look to and trust in the Lord, and not just in their military power. Pray that these fires that have been lit will be stopped in the Lord’s perfect timing (Psalm 118:8-17).
5. Pray for us as we are now ministering to pastors and intercession leaders in Indonesia, that they will hear the trumpet call of the Lord into this prayer battle. We had a very powerful time of prayer in a national prayer leaders’ conference here in Indonesia last week, where we were joined by some key Korean and Chinese intercessors. If you would like to see a video of this, follow this link: http://youtu./QjEcjiO_6FI
Pray for the mobilization of this great army of intercessors in the Far East. We feel the Lord has us here to "shore up the Eastern Front".
