I am writing to you this month with a sense of awe while beholding something so surreal that it is hard to relay everything this experience has imparted to me. From the Eastern edge of Turkiye, in a location from where we can nearly look over the border into Iran, we are at the site of what is arguably the most globally recognized story in history.

As listed in the Book of Genesis, the story of Noah and the account of a giant ship he built has been around since the beginning of recorded antiquity. The story has several iterations in a variety of ancient literature, but uniquely, they all share a similar historical narrative. As I started writing this, I realized that we are where many believe we come from, where God started over, right here at the final location of Noah’s Biblical Ark.

After spending a few days in this location, it has become very compelling that this is most likely the final resting place of the great ark Noah built in the Book of Genesis.

While preparing to visit this location, the Holy Spirit began ministering to me. I had been asking myself how to present irrefutable proof that this is Noah’s Ark and make it clear to the world that this is indeed the most monumental location in history!

The Spirit ministered to me to convey what I have seen and how it impacted me. Trying to make an argument that this is the ark of Noah is not the ultimate purpose of this journey or prophetic assignment. Without a revelation, any information that points to the truth will fall on deaf and cynical ears. Only those with ears to hear and great sensitivity to the Holy Spirit will hear what is being said to a generation through this magnificent sign to our time.

As you may recall, on April 8, we started a prophetic assignment that would begin by going to all seven churches in the Book of Revelation. Midway through, we spent time in Russia for filming and had the opportunity to minister along with Rick for Moscow Good News Church and additional church meetings until we ultimately ended up at Noah’s Ark in the mountains of Ararat, at the Iran border.

Why a prophetic journey? To answer this, it is essential to understand that sometimes, in scripture, we see prophets sent by God to do what is called a prophetic act. You find this most often in the Old Testament and highly displayed by the strange activities of the prophet Ezekiel who, for lack of a better description, would act out God-directed prophetic pantomimes to make statements and convey the heart of God toward any particular matter on the mind of the Lord.  The purpose was to be a sign to the nation and its people. For the masses, in part, it was like drawing in crayon so those hearing or witnessing the dramatic, sometimes vulgar, expression could get God’s point on the most basic level.

In the New Testament, one clear example is the prophetic act of the prophet Agabus taking Paul’s belt and wrapping his wrists with it to show this would happen to the belt’s owner.

And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. 11 When he had come to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’ “

—Acts 21:10-11

Sometimes, a prophetic act or prophetic assignment involves visiting a location or meeting a person or group. Such was the case when Saul was told to go to a street called Straight, as we see in Acts 9:11, “So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.” Or the time when Peter, after a trance, was told by the Spirit that there were men downstairs and that he was to go with them. Ultimately, Peter was given a prophetic assignment to go to Cornelius’s house.

While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are seeking you. 20 Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.” 21 Then Peter went down to the men who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, “Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?”

—Acts 10:19-21

This was the purpose of going to each location of the seven churches in the Book of Revelation. Rick Renner was a wonderful host, walking us through each location. In my spirit-man, I kept hearing the powerful words spoken by Jesus in Revelation, “He who has an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Jesus wants His Church to hear what He said to these seven churches over 2000 years ago. There is something to take away from each church, individually and corporately.
