“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”

1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 # (Ongoing call…24 hours a day!)

We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God! 

 “The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant 

between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 

Genesis 9:16

We sing: Lord, have mercy on us!

Lord, have mercy on us. Come and heal our land.

Cleanse with Your Fire, heal with Your Touch.

Humbly we bow and call upon You now.

Oh, Lord, have mercy on us. Oh, Lord, have mercy on us.

The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly 

for the safety and security of our duly elected President, Donald John Trump, 

and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!

We pray for his protection, for our First Lady, Melania, and their marriage

 and for all the members of their family. We cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.

Pray.

For the restoration of Donald Trump to his rightful office.

In every situation and decision, let our President be led by the Holy Spirit, 

so that he learns the truth and acts accordingly, for the good of the nation. 

Pray.

For protection, provision, and peace 

for all working to expose the fraud and corruption of our elections!

As the SAVE AMERICA movement gains momentum, let those leaders that God anoints and appoints 

take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol! 

Pray. 

For us to receive and put on the full armor of God as we begin this hour, 

that we might be protected as we stand in the gap and pray for our nation! 

Pray.

Strategic Focus for Wednesday 

WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! 

THE BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA! – Part 253

The Returning of President Trump to the White House! – Part 143

And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, 

and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 

I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.”

Genesis 9:12-13

Having had our own “first-hand experience” with the demonic forces controlling the EU and the nations of Beulah, we return to cover the last chapters of Jonathan Cahn’s book THE RETURN OF THE GODS. In Chapter 46, we will see “The Sign” which above all others has come to represent the movement that started at Stonewall  – the sign of the rainbow.

The Rainbow Flag The rainbow flag was designed by Gilbert Baker, an openly gay man and drag queen, and was first flown on June 25, 1978. In 1994, the sign of the rainbow was adopted as the official symbol of gay pride. It soon became the ubiquitous symbol of the movement and all it represented, flown and recognized all over the world. But could even this be the manifestation of an ancient mystery? And could it go back to the gods?

The original rainbow flag had eight colors, each representing one of eight elements of the movement. One would have expected the colors of the flag to represent such things as liberation, tolerance, respect, empowerment, or different people groups, but the flag and the colors of the rainbow it bore represented that which was altogether different. The flag was a representation of a strange assemblage of themes and elements that seemed to have little to do with one another. One would have been hard-pressed to find a common thread or unifying theme to bind them all together and make sense of it all. But there was a unifying theme and a common thread binding them all together—the goddess. Pray.

Pink It goes without saying that Ishtar was the goddess of sex. She was the embodiment of passion, love, lust, sexual desire, and sexual practices in every form. The first color of the original rainbow flag was pink. It represented sex.

Red Ishtar was the source of all fertility and procreation, the fruitfulness of the earth, of animals, and of humanity. She was the wellspring of all the generative powers of nature. When she was in the underworld, the generation of life came to a standstill. Ishtar was the goddess of life. The second color of the rainbow flag was red. It represented life. Pray.

Orange The preeminent Mesopotamian goddess of healing was named Gula. But in time Ishtar appropriated from her the powers of healing, and Gula fell into obscurity. Ancient inscriptions survive with prayers and prescriptions for healing addressed to or centered on Ishtar. She is the one of whom it is written “takes sickness away.” It is written that her effigy was once carried as far away as Egypt to heal an ailing Pharaoh. The third color of the rainbow flag was orange. It represented healing.

Yellow Ishtar was closely associated with the celestial lights. The morning and evening star would carry her name, Venus. And the moon was her father. But there was another celestial light that was intrinsically bound to her—the sun. The Assyrian sun god was named Shamash, the Akkadian word for sun. He was Ishtar’s brother. Ishtar was, in fact, the sun’s twin sister. So strong is her identification with the sun that we can find a sun disk at her side in many of her carved images. The fourth color of the rainbow flag was yellow. It represented the light of the sun. Pray.

Green Ishtar was, as were many of the pagan gods, an embodiment of nature. She represented the vital forces of nature, the fruitfulness of the earth, the rain, thunder, and storms of the heavens. She was among the prominent and central of all nature gods. The fifth color of the rainbow flag was green. It represented nature. 

Turquoise As we have seen, Ishtar was deeply connected to the realm and practice of magic. Her name was especially invoked in the casting of spells and enchantments and what today would be known as the occult arts. She was the goddess of magic. The sixth color of the rainbow flag was turquoise. It represented magic. Pray.

Indigo Though Ishtar was the goddess of storms, on the other hand, because of it, it was to her altars that supplicants came entreating her to grant them serenity. An old Babylonian hymn says this: “At her glance, serenity comes into being.” The seventh color of the rainbow flag was indigo. It represented serenity.

Violet And of course, Ishtar was a spirit, just as the gods were typically viewed by their worshippers as spirits. Beyond that, we have seen the connection of the gods to the spirits, the Hebrew shedim and the Greek daemonia. Thus the last color of the rainbow flag is of special note—violet. It represents spirit. What kind of spirit is represented? The color violet was especially connected to Aphrodite, the “violet-crowned goddess.” Aphrodite was, of course, an incarnation of Ishtar. Pray.

So the first color set the stage, as it represented sexuality. The last color summed it up. It represented a spirit—the spirit of sexuality—the very goddess known from ancient times as Ishtar. Could there be more to the mystery?

Rainbow Ishtar Ishtar was the goddess of the sky, queen of heaven, master of tempests, hurler of lightning bolts, and giver of rain. The ancient hymn praises her for it: “Loud Thundering Storm, you pour your rain over all the lands and all the people.” She controlled the storm. She directed its every gust, every peal of thunder, and every drop of rain. And thus the rainbow was under her lordship and direction. There is an ancient Elamite inscription that reads “Manzat Ishtar.” There is debate over whether the name Ishtar is to be taken just as it appears or as a generic noun. Nevertheless, the inscription translates to the name Rainbow Ishtar.

The Jewels of Heaven In the Epic of Gilgamesh, in the wake of a colossal rain and deluge, Ishtar also came, she lifted her necklace with the jewels of heaven. The necklace with the jewels of heaven has long been understood as the rainbow. So in the aftermath of the storm, the goddess lifts the rainbow up into the sky. Thus Ishtar has been credited as the creator of the rainbow. Pray.

The Goddess With Rainbow Eyes Then there is the strange description of the goddess as contained in an ancient Babylonian hymn of her praise:…”her eyes are multicolored and iridescent” The eyes of the goddess are of multiple colors like the colors of the rainbow. The ancient word is translated as iridescent. Iridescent comes from the Latin root iris, which means rainbow. Iris is also the name of the Roman goddess of the rainbow. Thus the eyes of Ishtar are like rainbows. Pray.

As a Rainbow And then there is the myth of the goddess and the gardener. A gardener plants a tree under which the goddess lies down and falls asleep. While the goddess is asleep, the gardener rapes her. When she awakes and realizes what has been done to her, she flies into a rage and begins sending down plagues on the earth. She then goes to her father to seek his help. He tells her where the gardener is hiding. She sets out to find him. How she sets out on her mission of vengeance is striking: “She stretched herself like a rainbow across the sky and reached thereby as far as the earth.” So in order to accomplish her mission against the one who violated her, the goddess stretches herself like a rainbow across the sky. The goddess becomes as the rainbow. The rainbow becomes her mode of action and being. It became the means by which she executed her will. Ishtar is considered the first of the gods for whom we have written evidence. Her connection to the rainbow is most ancient, long preceding that of the Greek goddess Iris and others. She was joined to the rainbow from the very start, from the dawn of recorded history and mythology. Pray.

The Sign So what would happen if the goddess returned? Would the rainbow also return as a sign of her power? It would. And it has. It was no accident that the movement that had been birthed by the goddess should take as its symbol the sign of the goddess. Those who designed it, those who carried it, and those who adopted it to serve as the defining symbol of the movement had no idea of the connection. The movement that had crossed the boundaries of sexuality and altered the parameters of gender now adopted as its symbol the sign of the ancient goddess who had crossed the boundaries of sexuality and altered the parameters of gender. The movement that had made June its sacred month of observances and processions was now covered with the sign of the goddess, whose sacred month of observances and processions most often began in June. The goddess had marked her resurrected religion and worship with the sign of her ownership. Pray.

Banner of War The goddess had stretched herself across the sky in order to punish her offender. The rainbow was a mode of war by which she exacted vengeance and judgment. So too behind the rainbow that began manifesting in the wake of Stonewall was an ancient goddess arming herself for battle. And it would be through that sign that her war would be waged. Those who paraded with it, those who wore it on their clothing, those who raised it outside their office buildings, those who disseminated it on the internet, and those who placed it on their products had no idea of the spirit that lay behind it or of the end to which it led. Behind its flowing colors was a banner of war. As in her ancient mythology, the rainbow would be the means and mode by which the goddess would again seek vengeance on those whom she believed had wronged her—especially on those who had cast her out. Pray.

We pray:

• Lord, You are the ONLY Creator… that there is NONE beside You. We take back the symbol of the rainbow and honor You through all that You have created, for You are the Author and Finisher of our faith! Pray.
• That the people of our nation will stand alongside President Trump, and remain engaged in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA until VICTORY is won! Pray. 
• That the members of Congress will finally investigate and reject the “usurper” Biden and all the corrupt things pertaining to his faux administration, and restoring righteousness and justice for all!! Pray. 
• That those we’ve stood with and prayed within Beulah will press in until they see the GLORY of the Lord radiating all across their continent, and their people freed, to know, love and serve God again! Pray. 
• Protect and strengthen our 24/7 family and bring in new intercessors who are called to this assignment with us, to pray for our President and our beloved nation! Prepare us for our NEXT STEPS in this Battle to Save America! Pray.
