Prophetic voice Amanda Grace is warning that the recent killing of two Israeli embassy staffers outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., wasn’t just an isolated act of violence, it was a spiritual sacrifice empowered by high-level demonic altars hidden in plain sight across the capital.
“This is far greater than that,” Grace said during a recent livestream. “Because it’s being powered, I believe, by altars in the kingdom of darkness.” She called the event an “announcement” — not just an act of terror, but a spiritual threshold being crossed.
“This ancient spirit… had legal rights to influence this man… to kill the people of Yahweh,” she said.
Blood on the hands of leadership
The suspect, Elias Rodriguez, a 31-year-old from Chicago, allegedly fired 21 shots, a number Grace said “is not an accident.” “Twenty-one is a number the occult uses,” she said, pointing to its ties to gambling and drinking. “That number is used a lot.”
She didn’t hold back in holding public officials accountable. “The blood is on the hands of the D.C. mayor right now,” she said. “It is your policies that have allowed this wickedness to grow and to advance in your city.”

Grace accused Washington leadership of enabling demonic power structures: “Make no mistake — the D.C. mayor has set up altars, and not to Almighty God.”
Altars in disguise: how they work
According to Grace, the kingdom of darkness operates through a complex altar system that still functions across America. “Altars need innocent blood to be powered,” she said. “And this is what is happening.”
“People build altars to things all the time. They just call them by a different name,” she added, citing government buildings, award shows, social media platforms and even abortion clinics as modern altars.
“These altars are not made of wood and stone anymore,” she said. “They’re masked and wrapped on the outside with covers of entertainment, ceremonies and politics.”
Prophetic symbolism in the names
Grace drew attention to the prophetic significance in the names involved in the attack. “The man’s name is Elias, which is a variant of Elijah, meaning ‘my God is Yahweh.’” Yet this man, she said, “was used to kill a Jewish couple that actually serves Yahweh. This is how the enemy works… this is all about mocking God and the people of God.”
The male victim’s name, Yaron, means “full of joy,” which she said carried prophetic weight. “This is a warning of the persecuting spirit that is bringing an outcry in this hour.”
Altars and government power struggles
Grace made a clear link between the operation of these spiritual altars and political power plays in America.
“There is not only a Jehu anointing on President Trump, but it’s coming upon the church,” she said, referring to the biblical figure Jehu who tore down altars and executed judgment on the house of Ahab. “You’re going to see the Acts church arise in the midst of this.”
“Forty-fifth president, four plus five is nine. Forty-seventh, four plus seven is 11. Nine, eleven. Second Kings, chapters nine through 11. This is how I know these high places and altars in this nation are being fought over.”
‘This is about an altar that wanted a sacrifice’
In perhaps the most sobering portion of the broadcast, Grace said plainly, “This is about altars and powering them in order to try to open a gate in Washington, D.C., that will allow for a hostile takeover within these next four years. I’m not saying God’s going to allow it. I’m saying this is what they’re attempting to do.”
She believes the attack was timed deliberately between Passover and Pentecost, a biblical season of judgment, fire and deliverance.
“This is a time of reckoning. This is a time the enemy is repositioning,” she warned. “An altar that wanted a sacrifice in order to strengthen a position for the enemy for a greater attack that is coming.”
The church must go deeper
Grace urged the church to awaken to the reality of these spiritual systems and start engaging with deeper discernment.
“You cannot fight a spiritual war legally on grounds of intellectualism,” she said. “It doesn’t work. The church cannot be like Saul’s army quaking before Goliath.”

She believes we are in a “season of excavation” where “the fire of the Holy Spirit and the weighty conviction of truth” must fall on the church.
“Alters that are meant to be destructive to the purposes of God are being torn down. This is the time for them to be torn down,” she said.
The call to intercession
“This, what happened in Washington, D.C., is a product of this,” Grace explained. “And when we can recognize it, we can intercede for that altar to be torn down.”
Her call is simple but urgent: “We as the church have the power and authority to intercede, to expose it. And that is what we need to do.”
