ELAM/IRAN - THE FOUR WINDS - THE FIG TREE
ELAM/IRAN – THE FOUR WINDS – THE FIG TREE
Sunday, June 15, 2025, the Year of Our Lord
Pastor Carolyn Sissom
I want to state that it is my persuasion that the Kingdom of God movement i.e. Ecclesia, Third Day, Over-comers, Prophetic and Apostolic is different than the last great revivals that impacted all of America--- the Charismatic and Jesus People movements. We thank God for that movement whereby I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit as did many of you. There were great Teachers, Pastors, Evangelists, and millions of people were born again and discipled. However, there are ministries, like this one, who are called, appointed and anointed to decree, to warfare, prophesy, and equip ministries. Yes, to disciple and watch over the flock, but the commission is to the nation and nations decreeing God’s Word, His timing, and yes His judgement. We can only preach and speak into “what the Spirit is saying to the churches.” Our commission for Wednesday night prayer is to the nation and nations. This is a “move of God” and we have been in that “movement” since the inception of this ministry. I had nothing to compare it to and only knew to do whatever the Spirit told me to do.
Since 1979, and probably before then, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has been training, financing, and providing weapons as a chief sponsor of terrorism for Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, Islamic Jihad, Houthis, etc. In November 1979, a radical group of students seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran and took hostages. Iran has been a state sponsor of terrorist’s activities in Albania, Argentina, Bahrain, Denmark, France, India, Israel, Kenya, Shi’ite militias in Iraq, Netherlands, Sweden, Thailand, Venezuela, Al-Qaeda in Iraq, Taliban, etc. They were behind or in alliance the 1998 United States embassy bombings, USS Cole Bombing, and aligned with Osama bin Laden with the September 11 attacks.
Elam (49:34-39): Elam is now Southwest Iran and includes a portion of Iraq.
The Word of the Lord through Johnny Enlow in April 2019, was:
“Deep Darkness is Being Exposed – with Waves of God’s Justice.”
A New Wave of Justice
I heard the Lord say, “My Road of Justice is now coming with its next wave. What was able to resist My last wave will not be able to resist this wave. I am coming in stronger, harder, and higher – and it is going to be disruptive.
There is no mountain I won’t climb or wall I won’t tear down coming to rescue those who need My Justice. I wait, and wait, and wait – because I look to arise WITH My people. However, there comes a time that I can hold back no longer and that time has come now. I am coming in like a crimson tide tsunami and I will be greater than every human or demonic resistance.”
Exposing and Uprooting Deep Darkness
“You will see how I laugh at those who conspire against Me. Exposures, exposures, exposures. I am going to expose the very root systems of deep darkness.
I am pulling the cloak off the sex trade industry’s untouchables. I will shine My unrelenting spotlight on every pedophile ring on the planet. Yes, EVERY pedophile ring. The deeper darkness has been facilitating the lesser darkness and I am about to expose the deep darkness…”
It is an irrefutable fact that God has His own set times and seasons for accomplishing His purposes and fulfilling His Word. Century after century, God’s plan for man has been unfolding in perfect accord with appointed times---God’s time is as immutable as His Word!
Isa. 34:8 For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion. And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. It shall not be quenched night or day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever; from generation to generation, it shall lay waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
Jeremiah 49: 35-39: Thus says the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might. And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of Heaven and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come. For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life; and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, says the Lord; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them; And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there the king and the princes, says the Lord. But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, says the Lord.
It is the hope of this attack upon Iran (Elam) by Israel will not only knock out their nuclear capabilities, but the strong Christian church in Iran will overthrow the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his government. We pray the Christians will arise and take the government for the Kingdom of God. That the LORD’S throne will be set in Elam/Iran.
The missiles of Iran can be identified with the electromagnetic bows. The Elamites were long famous as bowmen against the western kingdoms. They have been called the anti-church militant.
“ …Upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of Heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds;”
The blowing of the four winds is an “anemos” (a violent agitation and stream of air; the four cardinal winds; hence four corners of the earth). In Revelation 6: 12-13, we have the combination of a “seismos” and “anemos”. A great earthquake is a recurrent sign of divine visitation in the Bible.
In Daniel’s vision of the ram and goat in 8:2, he was in Elam: I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision and I was by the river of Ulai.
Daniel 8:16: I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
The Ulai River is now Karkheh (Gihon) and one of the four rivers of Eden/Paradise. It flows along the Iran/Iraq border.
Jeremiah, chapter 49, is Jeremiah’s word of the judgment of the nine nations of Ammon, Edom, Damascus (Syria) Kedar, Hazor and Elam.
In Mark 13, Luke 21, and Matthew 24, Jesus prophesies of things to come before His return.
Mark 13:4-The disciples asked Jesus, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?”
Mark 13: 27 -28: Jesus answered: And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.-Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see these things happening, know that it is near---at the doors!
Lk. 21: 29-30: And he spoke to them a parable, Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; when they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
As I was walking around my yard this afternoon, I heard in the Spirit, “Summer is near… look at your fig tree.”
Now, if the fig tree is the nation of Israel as this metaphor reveals, it follows that “all the trees” are the other nations. What does this mean? The trees shooting forth? Jesus tells us clearly what it means. So, likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is at hand (vs. 31). “These things…” What things?
21:28: When these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.
1. Jerusalem compassed about with armies.
2. Great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
3. Signs in the sun, moon, and stars.
4. Distress of nations, with perplexity.
5. The sea and waves roaring.
6. Men’s hearts failing them for fear.
7. The powers of heaven shaken.
8. The revelation of the Son of Man from heaven, in power and great glory.
Much of this “distress” took place in A.D. 70, as the Romans sacked Jerusalem and the temple. But the distress of “the fig tree and all the trees” continues to intensify and will come to fullness. The Kingdom of God was birthed in Christ’s followers at Pentecost.
We do not rejoice at the destruction that is now on the earth or the destruction that is coming, but there is a sense of expectation and we should expect God is going to deal with the horrible violence that covers the earth, as He did in the days of Noah.
The Apostle Paul likens these judgments to the “travail” that comes on a woman with child (1 Thess. 5:3). Why? Because there is new life that will come forth out of His judgments. For in the time of the “seven last plagues” of the wrath of God, the overcomers are singing the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb. Both these songs are songs of triumph. We hear them singing, “Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for you only are holy. All nations shall come and worship before you; for your judgments are made manifest (Rev. 15:4). The wrath of God is a fearful thing. But “the fig tree and all the trees” are going to be brought to His footstool.
So, we do not despair when we see riots, political corruption in our justice system and wars all over the earth, each killing his brother for the glory of his God, and each totally ignorant of the true riches of Jesus Christ. In the midst of it, God is preparing the sons of the Kingdom to go to the nations with the “beautiful feet’ of the Gospel of Peace. Yes, peace of God that passes all understanding. Supernatural peace! But also, with Power of the Kingdom to subdue nations and Yes, to rise as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
Man…desperate, ambitious, self-seeking, proud, arrogant man is trying to maintain his own selfish identify through political maneuvering, war, uprising, and rebellion…and while all this is going on there are peace conferences, tariff conferences, financial world leader conferences, overtures, treaties, and broken cease-fires… only to give way to more angry demonstrations of hate and violence.
But God comes on the scene, bringing the remnant of Israel, and all the trees, to the foot of the Cross. The elect of Israel (the branches that were “broken off”) are grafted back into the Olive Tree along with their Gentile neighbors (Ro. 11: 22-24).
It was there at the Cross that God made peace with rebellious men of nations. No man is going to bring to nothing that great Peace Pact sealed by the Blood of Jesus where God has made both one and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us for to make of himself of twain one new man, and so making peace (Eph. 2: 14-15).
This is the role of the sons of the Kingdom, to proclaim the Peace Pact that God made for all nations.
There is an evil working in our nation, governments, schools, churches, and homes. It is the spirit of antichrist. It will not be clearly manifested to God’s people until “harvest time.” God is still restraining the full manifestation of “the man of sin,” as He has done from the beginning. But when Christ’s Lordship is denied, and the holy Anointing is replaced with the number of man (666, the apostate mind of man coming to fullness of maturity) which could be AI …they are going to bring more and more amusement and false unity into the House of God. They must amuse the crowds to keep the people coming. We are seeing it happen even now. As artificial smoke, fire, thunder, lighting, and chairs that shake and rumble are being added to the Houses of God.
Jesus Christ, the Tree of life and the true Vine is the fruitful fig tree from Heaven. Through Calvary’s cross, He has been pressed into a corporate Man, the Body of Christ. Our King is the well beloved who has a vineyard (His Church) in the very fruitful hill of Zion. Jesus chose and ordained the Church to bring forth fruit that remains.
God will always have a Joseph in times of famine. He will have a Moses to deliver his people from bondage. He will have a Paul and Silas in times of persecution. The Lord will always have His Holy Nation in an overcoming people whom He has prepared for the Church triumphant to overcome. The Church will arise and defeat the gates of Hell. We will charge those gates. The gates of Hell will not prevail against it.
We as a corporate body have been called, chosen, prepared, and appointed to be a church which will charge the gates of Hell.
