Between December last year and now an American pastor called Dana Coverstone has received three prophetic dreams concerning the state of the USA. What he saw in the Spirit in graphic detail in December was what we watched in the news between March and June: Covid and the current civil unrest around black lives matter. (Note: I published this exactly four years ago today. The details are no longer current, but the thrust of the warning remains true. See the footnote.)

Google and YouTube are now awash with comments about his dreams, which Pastor Coverstone described in a YouTube video towards the end of June. I have had a couple of thoughts myself: here there they are.

In 1983 a man of God called Tom Zimmer, who was a war veteran living in Italy who spent all his time in prayer and worship, interceding especially for the nations, received a prophecy which specified the man called Donald J Trump would lead America back to God. He shared this with an American friend of his, who said that he must be wrong: Donald Trump was a New York playboy, and hardly the man that God would choose to lead America back to Him. However Tom Zimmer was convinced he had heard the Lord. Tom lived in the town of Loreto, where everybody knew him as a holy man, like Simeon and Anna who spent their time in the temple at the time of the birth of Jesus.

Fast forward to 2020 and Dana Coverstone. He is not a well-known pastor leading a big church; his calling is to go into churches who have lost their moral compass and turn them back to the Lord. He is not a known prophet, and in fact repeatedly says “I am not a prophet.” Responses to these dreams vary from scepticism to full belief, but whatever people think about the things he says, his integrity as a man of God appears to be in no doubt.

The first of his dreams accurately prophesied events in America between March and June. The second dream which he received at the end of June, I think it was the 24th, looks forward to the period between September and November, the time of the US presidential election.

He saw America in meltdown, with Washington burning and troops on the streets. It was full-scale Civil War. You need to see the videos yourself: just google “Dana Coverstone Prophetic Dreams.” I won’t get into details here, but they are a warning from the Lord to the church of America to “Brace Yourself!” We might say, “What’s that got to do with me in the UK?” I can’t answer that, other than to say I expect that the ripples will be felt around the world if the predictions come true. Pastor Coverstone says: “Believers, STOP MESSING AROUND if you’re not living for the Lord as you ought to be!” I think we can all hear this, whatever the context.

What we don’t necessarily realise in our peaceful United Kingdom is that the polarisation between the Republicans and Democrats in the USA is practically on a civil war footing already. The fuse is already burning, and it’s helped along by the partisan reporting of the two main TV news channels: Fox (Democrat) and CNN (Republican). There is a battle raging in Heaven over the whole world between the forces of light and the forces of darkness, and I believe that much of it is being played out on the streets of the United States, as the fight for the soul of the nation rages. What pastor Coverstone saw, was, I believe, the time when the burning fuse reached the dynamite at the time of the presidential elections in November.

We don’t know, of course, how the last stages of this battle will be played out; but if we believe that God spoke to Tom Zimmer, as I do, we can trust that the final outcome of this “civil war” will be a re-elected Donald Trump leading America back to God. As you read this, please don’t think that I believe that God endorses Donald Trump’s politics. This is not about politics at all, but about the eternal destiny of millions of people, and about the part that a spiritually restored USA will play on the world stage in the events leading up to the return of Christ. Whatever his failings, and God’s thoughts are not our thoughts, it would appear that Trump has a part to play.

A detail that I find particularly interesting, and prophetic, and which as far as I know hasn’t been picked up by anyone else, is this: the 1983 prophecy was about Donald Trump restoring the moral and spiritual compass of a country that has turned away from God’s ways. The Dana Coverstone prophecies were given to a man whose ministry to the church is to do exactly the same thing. I take this unlikely connection as a sign that these things are in fact going to happen.

Footnote: July 24th 2024.

I told a friend in the USA about the landslide victory of the Labour party in the recent UK general election, and she said “It seems to be going the other way over here.” Donald Trump does seem to be on course for the US presidency, which would fulfill those prophesies of a second term. As the Democrats’ attempt to use the courts to remove him from the scene have crumbled one after another, with the Democrat party in disarray as their attempts to prop up the clearly ailing Joe Biden until after the election and replace him with their anti-Life vice president Kamala Harris have failed, and as It really does look like God’s hand was protecting Trump from the sniper’s bullet, believers in the USA and the UK can genuinely for pro-life and pro-family policies to start being rolled out in the USA from November this year. But Satan’s war on Life is not going to stop: trans men are being allowed to compete in women’s events in the Olympics, destroying the hopes and dreams of thousands of female competitors with their heavier bone structure and more powerful musculature; little children are being exposed to sexually explicit drag shows in public libraries; and new legislation will put UK churches under threat if they preach a biblical view on marriage as being a lifelong covenant between one biological man and one biological woman. James 4:4 says

“Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”

We are already starting to see this being played out in our society, from the opposite point of view: friendship with God is starting to be seen as enmity with the world. I believe we will see the Trump prophesies being fulfilled, and at least some restoration of biblical values coming through the next US administration, particularly in the area of pro-life legislation. But this will only make the enemy fiercer in his attacks wherever the doors are open for him, and as the Lord continues to purify His bride and call us out of Babylon, the need to brace ourselves will be stronger than ever before.
