As prophetic voice Amanda Grace pointed out in a recent livestream, a picture is unfolding before the world’s eyes, rooted in Daniel 10 and echoed in the modern-day conflict between Israel and Iran.
On June 24, 2025, a fragile ceasefire was declared, marking the end of what is now being called the “12-Day War.” Yet, beneath the headlines, a divine narrative is emerging, one that mirrors biblical patterns, spiritual warfare and prophetic timelines converging with stunning precision.

As Grace discussed, Daniel 10:4–14, recounts a vision on the 24th day of the first month, when the angel Gabriel broke through spiritual opposition after being delayed 21 days by the “prince of Persia.” Only when the archangel Michael intervened were the heavenly blockades removed. This breakthrough occurred on the 24th day, just as a ceasefire was declared on June 24, ending days of intense combat between Israel and Iran.
“This is kind of what we saw happen, we saw a Daniel 10-type scenario happening where the prince of Persia withstood… and then on the 24th day… there was breakthrough,” Grace explained, highlighting the spiritual significance of the date.
But the prophetic parallels don’t stop there. The name of Israel’s military operation—Operation Rising Lion—joins with historical echoes from Operation Focus, the codename for the opening strike of the 1967 Six-Day War. Fifty-eight years separate these two conflicts, pointing directly to 1 Peter 5:8, which warns: “Be sober-minded; be alert… your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion…”
“Focus on the rising lion,”Grace urged. “Those were the names of the two operations together from the Six-Day War that Israel launched and now the 12-Day War, Operation Focus, Operation Rising Lion.”
This 12-day conflict also occurred in June, the same month as the Six-Day War, and reflects similar tactics, including preemptive airstrikes and rapid ground advances. June, often associated with pride, is also prophetically charged. Lions, representing both godly authority and demonic imitation, are rising on both sides of the battle.
One “lion” in particular is catching attention, according to Grace: Reza Pahlavi, son of the deposed Shah of Iran. “This man is the Shah’s son… standing at a podium with two flags that have lions on them… and his middle name happens to be Cyrus.” The prophetic symbolism is potent, evoking the biblical king who freed the Jews, now appearing as a modern “Cyrus” in the land once called Persia.
This moment in history also aligns with a word Grace released earlier this year on Feb. 19, 2024, in which the Lord said to her: “June on your calendar may be riddled with pride… however around that time is marked for many falls and removal… I the Lord shall throw a wrench and a hammer into their plans.” This word later paralleled Operation Midnight Hammer, the U.S. response targeting Iranian nuclear facilities.

“This is not over,”Grace warned. “We have six days left for June that I believe is going to lead into quite an explosive July.”
In this climactic hour, we must stay vigilant, not just watching the earth, but listening for the roar of the Lion of Judah, who reigns above all powers. Now is the time for us to continue to press into prayer for America, Israel, Iran and the entire world.
