A sobering warning—and a powerful prophetic insight—has come from Amanda Grace of Ark of Grace Ministries.
In a recent message, Grace revealed that an Iranian group calling itself “The Blood Covenant” has reportedly issued a $40 million bounty on former President Donald Trump, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). But Grace says what may look like an ominous threat is actually a divine setup for judgment—mirroring the confrontation between David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17.

“This is a 1 Samuel 17 moment,” Grace declared, “that the kingdom of darkness through Iran is attempting to reverse engineer—and it’s going to be their fall instead.”
She pointed to 1 Samuel 17:25, where Saul promises riches, freedom from taxes, and his daughter in marriage to the man who defeats Goliath. But this Iranian plot, Grace said, seeks to invert that. “They are attempting to put the bounty upon the head of David instead of the bounty being upon the head of Goliath,” she said.
/**/Quoting 1 Samuel 17:43–47, Grace highlighted how Goliath cursed David by his gods, just as this Iranian group is now reportedly cursing President Trump. “You come at me with physical weapons to kill me,” she paraphrased, “but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted… whose covenant you have violated, whom you have cursed and are now set to be judged.”
Grace drew particular attention to verse 47: “The Lord does not save with the sword or with the spear, for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will hand you over to us.” She connected this to Trump’s presidency: “We are in the 47th presidency. This is the scripture for President Trump’s entire presidency. 1 Samuel 17:47. It should be written on the walls of the White House.”
Grace emphasized that this isn’t merely a political threat—it’s a spiritual one. “They’re calling themselves the blood covenant,” she said, “but it’s a false covenant. The true blood covenant is through Christ Jesus, and that covenant has rules of engagement.”
Noting the $40 million figure, Grace made a powerful parallel to the 40 days Goliath stood and cursed Israel. “God wasn’t delaying Israel or David’s victory,” she explained. “He was allowing the charges to mount to bring forth a greater judgment… and it will bring a greater victory for President Trump if he sticks to 1 Samuel 17:47.”

Grace issued a clear call to action for the body of Christ: “Be in prayer. Be watchmen. Intercede right now because this is going to implode on them.”
As Iran attempts to weaponize a false blood covenant, Grace believes the Lord will turn their plan on its head, bringing judgment to those who curse His people. “The fall is going to be great,” she said. “For daring to activate a false covenant against the true blood covenant that Almighty God holds with His people.”
