This is going to be a year of chess moves and many leaders are going to be check mated before they even realise it and this is a prophetic Word. A number of leaders/nations, are going to find themselves checkmated. Nicolas Maduro was one of them. Venezuela was still celebrating the New Year and before they realise, Maduro was checkmated. It is going to be sudden removal; today they are in power, tomorrow they are not in power. Businesses will be impacted also. It is going to be a part of a realignment.
The Lord is realigning the heaven and the earth, the created order, because instead of being closer to God due to increasing knowledge, we know less of His truth. The truth will only come through revelation. The Bible is right there and you can read the Bible, but in terms of the truth of the Word of God, it will not be opened to you, unless you are at that place to receive it.
The leaders in the Caribbean have moved away from God, so they are now pawns; they are now exposed.
It is a year of chess moves, not just politically, but economically, because it is a year when the beast system is literally fighting to get back on track. The beast is fighting to make up lost time and to reassert itself because it has lost big time in terms of its objectives.
It will also be the year of trade moves. Trading will be both literal and spiritual. It will not be just about money, but it will also be a year of trading resources. So nations might trade oil for protection, for example.
This will also be the year of protests, mass protests. The streets are going to erupt. The sad thing about this is that in many of the cases, the Lord is going to be using protests to bring down regime. The end of the Iran regime is near. It has been tested on several occasions and came out successful, but they are going to go under. This does not mean that the regime that will take over, will be any better, but this is the year of war, and is a year of conflict.
This is the year when we need to pay attention to our foundation. Foundations that were not built on righteousness will be undermined. There are well respected businesses and enterprises that will go under this year. This is the year when you will see more mergers as well, because when certain establishments go under, they will not just disappear, their assets and all of that, will be taken and consolidated to form a bigger entity, while some will just go into oblivion.
This is the year of connection. The holding of hands speaks to partnerships. There will be a number of different strategic partnerships that will be formed with a view to securing the future of institutions, the future of families, the future of individuals. We must be very careful with whom we partner.
This is going to be a very turbulent year in different ways, but it will be a year of great opportunity for those who are rightly aligned.
