Prophetic word for Iran — JANUARY 13, 2026

“You are seeing how events have come together to usher in a greater day of revival that will touch nations. Yes, many nations will be drawn to the light of what I am doing in the nation and land of Iran. The great uprising has brought forth a great upheaval of every standing and strong man across the lands. What has stood against Me in great opposition will be leveled in a moment. What has been raised up in the day of rebellion will be brought down low and humiliated as I cause My remnant to rise because they cried out for the Breaker to step in from a place of deep humility.“

As the Lord spoke this word to me, I was taken into a vision that I have seen before six years ago, while praying over the nation of Iran. I share the vision in the word the Lord spoke in this post “Iran–Toppling of One Kingdom & Establishment of Another” .

This vision is a continuation of what transpired. Previously the Lord had shown me a strong and huge statue of a man. Then I saw a hand reach up, grab a hammer and strike the feet of the man sending it crumbling to the ground in a great ash and burning heap.

While the Lord was speaking, I saw from the rubble a bride adorned in a glistening white wedding gown, rise up from the fire with war boots shod on her feet. Her face was as the brilliance of the sun, radiant in beauty. Her gaze was transfixed upward, full of joy and yet focused. Like a phoenix from the ashes, she arose with great purpose and determination. Her stature and size greater than the strong man that had been destroyed before her.

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭60‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭TPT
‬‬““Rise up in splendor and be radiant, for your light has dawned, and Yahweh’s glory now streams from you! Look carefully! Darkness blankets the earth, and thick clouds covers the nations, but Yahweh arises upon you and the brightness of his glory appears over you! Nations will be attracted to your radiant light and kings to the sunrise-glory of your new day. Lift up your eyes higher! Look all around you and believe, for your sons are returning from far away and your daughters are being tenderly carried home. Watch as they all gather together, eager to come back to you!” “Then you will see with understanding and be radiant. Your heart will be thrilled and swell with joy. The fullness of the sea will flow to you and the wealth of the nations will be transferred to you!”

There has been a cry and a call gone out from under the ground for quite some time. 

‭‭Micah‬ ‭7‬:‭7‬ ‭TPT‬‬
“But as for me, I will keep watching for Yahweh to break through. I will wait for the God who will save me, and I know my God will hear my cry.”

‭‭Micah‬ ‭7‬:‭8‬-‭12‬ ‭TPT‬‬
“Listen, my enemy. Don’t gloat over me when I fall, for I will get back up even stronger. Whenever I feel darkness around me, Yahweh himself will be the light that surrounds me. I must endure Yahweh’s anger for a while because I have sinned against him. Yet he will still defend my cause and right every wrong done to me. He will expose it all and bring me out into the light, and I will experience firsthand his vindication. When my enemy sees this, she will be disgraced and covered with shame— she who sneered, “Where is this God of yours, Yahweh?” I’ll see it with my own eyes as she is trampled down like mud in the streets. What a day that will be! A day for rebuilding your walls! A day for expanding your borders! A day when people come to you from everywhere— from the cities of Assyria, Egypt, and Tyre and all the way from the river Euphrates, from across the seas, and from every mountainous land.”

For too long, the nation of Iran has been shrouded in oppression by the strong man of Islam. It has manned the gate and held residence as a great mountain of opposition, resistance, and destruction.

But God is destroying the destroyer. The mountain of resistance has birthed a remnant who is the true resistance.

The birth pains of revival are here, and the nation of Iran is in the ring of fire right now. She holds the key to the Middle East, as God is dealing with Babylon.

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭51‬:‭25‬ ‭TPT‬‬
“I have become your enemy,” says Yahweh, “O mountain of destruction, destroyer of the whole world! I will unleash My power against you, send you tumbling to the ground, and turn you into a mountain of soot and ashes.”

‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬ ‭NLT
‬‬“Then if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.”

The Lord says,

“The Bride of Christ is rising up from the ashes of defeat, stronger than the strong man that has tried to suppress her arising. It is not in her own strength that she has come to this place. It is by My might, and by My Spirit of grace”, says the Lord. “Like a Phoenix from the ashes, she arises with bold confidence and steadfastness of faith. Like in the days of Esther, she will take her place, man her position, boldly declare My word and gather in the spoils of victory!”

Psalms‬ ‭68‬:‭8‬-‭12‬ ‭TPT
‬‬“The earth shook beneath your feet; the heavens filled with clouds before the presence of the God of Sinai. The sacred mountain shook at the sight of the face of Israel’s God. You, O God, sent the reviving rain upon your weary inheritance, showers of blessing to refresh it. So there your people settled. And in your kindness you provided the poor with abundance. God Almighty declares the word of the gospel with power, and the warring women of Zion deliver its message: “The conquering legions have themselves been conquered. Look at them flee!” Now Zion’s women are left to gather the spoils.”

Esther means “star” and a root part of her name means “hidden or concealed”. The bride of Christ had been concealed and underground, until her appointed time of rising.

Now is her arise and shine moment of appearing! Just like Esther was hidden in the land of Persia, which is Iran, we are seeing a modern day reflection of the very same rising.

Nations are being drawn to her light. Even as a new decree was sent forth for the Jews to rise up against the death decree against them, natives to the lands joined together with them as the resistance. The Lord expedited their victory as they multiplied. We are seeing this transpire even right now as unbelievers join in the resistance.

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭45‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭TPT
‬‬““This is what Yahweh says to his anointed one, Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped as my servant to conquer nations and dethrone their kings. For I will open doors before him and no fortified gate will remain closed. “ ‘I will march out in front of you and level every obstacle. I will shatter to pieces bronze doors and slice through iron bars. I will give you hidden treasures of darkness and wealth waiting in secret sites so that you recognize me, for it is I, Yahweh, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name! For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, I call you by your name and give you a title of honor. But you don’t even know me.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭45‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭TPT‬‬
“I am Yahweh, the only God there is, and you’ll never find another. I will strengthen you for victory, even though you do not intimately know who I am. Yet through you everyone will know who I really am. Those from the rising sun in the east to the west, everyone everywhere will know that I am Yahweh, the one and only God, and there is no other. I create light, and I make it dark. I make bliss, and I create adversity. I am Yahweh who does all these things.’ “Shower down righteousness, O heavens above. Let the clouds drip with deliverance! Let earth’s womb open and bear salvation’s fruit, with righteousness rising up beside it! I, Yahweh, have created all of them!”

The Lord says to the nations and global Body of Christ:

“Pray earnestly for the nation of Iran and the Bride of Christ there who have fearlessly clung to Me, and because of her boldness to arise against injustice and fierce darkness and evil! Hold up her arms as I destroy the Prince of Persia that the nations would be unlocked!”
