In a recent broadcast, prophetic teacher Joseph Z urged viewers to remain vigilant and prayerful as spiritual and geopolitical tensions escalate.
He cited unrest in Seattle, new reports of potential asteroid impacts and the growing threat of international war as signs that believers must respond with spiritual discernment and bold faith.

Z addressed the recent disruption of Christian worship services in Seattle, where pastors and ministry leaders have faced harassment and even physical assaults.
“Pastor Russell Johnson… just was on Fox News and all that with the assault they had out in Seattle,” Z said, calling attention to the confrontation as more than just a local issue. “Honestly trying to stop them from standing up and just simply worshiping the Lord.”
He added that other leaders such as Ross Johnston and Jenny Donnelly were also present and targeted, describing the attack as a manifestation of a larger spiritual battle. “That’s a sign of the spirit of the age clashing even on a global scale,” Z said.
Alongside his concern for rising hostility toward public displays of faith, Z referenced recent scientific alerts about asteroid threats. He indicated that warnings about near-Earth objects have intensified.
“There’s a new report coming out about asteroids,” he said. “We’ve talked about this many times about asteroids that could come and hit the Earth… talking about these asteroids that could come and destroy cities.”
Z tied these physical threats to what he described as an intensifying spiritual climate.
“There’s an immense pressure in the atmosphere,” he said. “There’s an immense challenge that’s taking place in our geopolitical space.”

According to Z, world events are being shaped by more than political motives—he believes a spiritual agenda is at work.
“Something is—the spirit of antichrist wants to induce… wickedness with war and I mean epic amounts of war,” he said, warning that global conflict could escalate rapidly without intervention through prayer and spiritual authority.
Z’s message aligns with his broader prophetic worldview, which emphasizes the role of the church in confronting darkness, resisting fear and standing for truth amid growing global instability.
