Could there be prophetic signs even with the Kentucky Derby about the times we’re living in?
A recent prophetic message highlights what some believe are spiritual signs embedded within one of America’s biggest sporting events—the Kentucky Derby. According Amanda Grace, events in the natural world, including horse races, can reflect deeper movements in the spiritual realm.
This year, the Derby is unfolding alongside another major event: the election of the 267th pope. “I don’t think that’s an accident,” says Amanda Grace. “It’s the race for the 267th pope and if you add that up you get the number 15.” The number 15 recurs prophetically, with another appearance in Canada’s recent liberal party victory—“the liberal party won 168 seats, if you add that together you also get 15.”

Two horses in this prophetic race stand out: American Promise and Render Judgment. “In the number five position is a horse by the name of American Promise. His sire is Justify, who won the Triple Crown in 2018—“seven years ago Donald Trump was president… seven years later, here is Donald Trump as president again with Justify’s offspring.”
According to Grace, the pairing of names is telling: “The Lord justified the promise to America,” she says, connecting Trump’s election with biblical implications.
However, there is another horse in the running owned by country music artist, Toby Keith, named Render Judgment.
“Render Judgment is also in the Kentucky Derby this year,” Grace says. His sire is named Blame: “When blame is cast, judgment is rendered.”
So, what could this all mean from a prophetic standpoint?
“This is a theme right of judgment being rendered with the Vatican, with what’s coming in Canada,” Grace says.
Regarding Canada’s new leader she says: “Mark Carney gets put into term… his name means dedicated to Mars as a champion.” Mars, the Roman god of war, draws a direct connection to the Vatican—“Roman, Roman. Remember this. Where is the Vatican? Rome.”
