Two weeks ago a friend felt like she needed to go to the Parthenon in Centennial Park here in Nashville, TN and she asked if I was available to go with her. I said yes, my schedule permits this, so we went. She had never been to the Parthenon or this park, so I was eager to hear what she saw and heard while there as fresh eyes and ears. I listened carefully to all she shared, but what I didn’t expect was the many new things the Lord would speak to me. We went into the temple, as she had never been inside, let alone outside. While inside, she walked around and spoke things she was was hearing and seeing. Me, I was using my plumbline for the first time as a new prophetic weapon of intercession.

As she walked around with eyes wide open, I began reading the many plaques on the walls and on the pedestals explaining details about this idol in this temple. One of them I was reading prompted the Holy Spirit to say to me, “Prince of Persia”. I told my friend, we are dealing with the Prince of Persia here and I showed her what I was reading. Now, two weeks later, the Lord speaks to me this morning about the Prince of Persia, the Parthian Empire, and says to me, Daniel’s gold statue is in the Parthenon, it is the King of Babylon, the Prince of Persia, the gods of Greece and the Roman Structure. I am stunned at 5:45am this morning. I never saw how all four of them were right there based on what Daniel 2 describes.

I get out of bed, and the time is 6:16, I immediately think, Ephesians 6:16 which makes sense, the armor of God, but the Lord says, in a gentle whisper, as my heart is not wanting to assume, but is asking, is Ephesians 6:16 what you are saying and He adds another 6:16 to the arsenal, 2 Kings 6:16, “Now when the attendant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was circling the city. He answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Now we have three 6:16’s, one is Jeremiah 6:16, stand at the crossroads and ask for the ancient path; Ephesians 6:16, armor of God; and 2 Kings 6:16, do not fear!

When I put it all together this morning, the Lord is clear, there is an ancient enemy coming to make war with us, this will be the battle of the age, it is the Daniel 2 spirit coming, so be dressed in the armor of God and do not fear for there are more for us than are against us. Finally, remember, our battle is not against flesh and blood and our weapons are not carnal, but they are mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds, shofars ready!
