As riots proceed to erupt throughout the town of Los Angeles, prophetic voice Joseph Z issued a sobering warning: what’s unfolding in California is barely the start of a broader non secular battle threatening the nation.
“It is a preview to a film we don’t wish to watch,” Z stated in a current broadcast. “That is the primary wave.”
Talking from the Colorado mountains throughout a time of intercessory prayer, Z described the present unrest as greater than political instability—it’s, in his view, the non secular manifestation of a deeper, darker agenda.
“I noticed boots on the bottom that will start to manifest,” he stated. “It is a sampling of a better degree that desires to convey chaos and darkness to the land by way of fires, by way of functionality with weaponry, by way of attempting to crash grids and all that stuff.”

Z related the rising violence to prophetic warnings he shared beforehand about “10 cities burning,” which he hyperlinks to what he calls the “spirit of Decapolis.” He believes these coordinated occasions are geared toward igniting concern and dysfunction forward of a divine breakthrough.
“It’s a cultural spirit of Antichrist that’s attempting to stand up and take this narrative within the improper course,” he stated.
Regardless of the chaos, Z emphasised that believers are to not concern, however to take their stand spiritually.
“The Lord isn’t nervous,” he stated. “God by no means is sitting there taking a look at this going, ‘What are we going to do guys? What are we going to do?’”
Z repeatedly known as Christians to stand up because the “ekklesia”—the physique of believers known as to withstand evil by way of prayer, fact, and unity.
“We’re restraining the complete fury of wickedness on this land,” he stated. “The total fury of wickedness doesn’t stand an opportunity in opposition to what Matthew 16 calls the gates of hell standing in opposition to the ekklesia—the church of Jesus Christ, the crimson church, the blood-bought believers.”
He inspired vigilance and discernment, noting that mainstream media narratives could distract from more significant developments happening quietly within the background.
“If you see huge information and it’s dominating information, keep in mind to look at the small information,” he stated. “As a result of within the small information there’s issues occurring.”
Z warned of different rising threats, together with overseas infiltration at U.S. borders and developments in synthetic intelligence, which he views as a part of a rising “beast system.”
“There’s solely a lot you are able to do within the pure proper now,” he stated. “So we’ve received to face. We received to convey the goodness of the Lord within the land of the residing.”
On California particularly, Z urged believers not to surrender hope, asserting that God’s coronary heart continues to be for revival within the state.
“God has such a want for California,” he stated. “Such a want to see His goodness reign in California, that I imagine the spirit of Jezebel, the spirit of Antichrist—this depraved nonsense—is attempting to manifest in that state earlier than we will get to the place we have to be to possibly flip the script.”

Z stated the nation is at a tipping level between revival and break, and the result will depend on whether or not believers will unite in non secular motion.
“If the church lays again and continues preventing and squabbling with each other, we’re going to offer option to evil within the land increasingly more,” he stated. “If we will overcome all of the nonsense and unite as a united entrance in opposition to wickedness, non secular forces in excessive locations, we are going to cease it in its tracks.”
In the end, Z stays assured within the energy of God and the function of the church to confront and overcome darkness.
“Righteousness will prevail,” he stated. “It would worsen earlier than it will get higher, however righteousness will prevail.”
