The Prophetic Warning of 2 Samuel 24 for 2024 and Beyond
The Prophetic Warning of 2 Samuel 24 for 2024 and Beyond. Plagues, Famines, Enemy Pursuits? Altars Being Built, Nations on The Threshing Floor and the Winnowing Winds of Divine Separation and Distinction..
Friends, I have recently — in the last few months — been given access to some of the deeper Realms of The Spirit, and there is so much I want to share of what I am seeing and hearing for the days ahead.
But I am aware of an Angel of The LORD who has been assigned to my life to keep me from speaking out anything that would cause me to step beyond the Grace measure assigned to my life in this season.
I know I have been sharing some recent Revelations, Insights and Blueprints from Heaven concerning the Ministry IDH [Ireland’s Destiny Hub] and what we trusting God for.
But I wanted to submit the following to you for serious Prayer consideration. What I’m sharing is really just a little of what I give at this time — but I wanted you to weigh it!
So today, while in my wee Prayer Hut, The LORD spoke to me again about the days ahead, and as some of you may know, I have already started to share a few things concerning 2024 — and beyond!
But while in Prayer, I was taken up and into The Realm of The Spirit — and for a third time in the last two months — I heard these words…”2 Samuel 24 … in 2024”… and I immediately began to receive a Warning from The LORD concerning the days ahead!
I heard The Spirit say, ”In the days ahead, do not consider your strength in the number of your fighting men — or on the authority of the one who sits in the highest offices of earthly governments — and do not count on the power of your chariots or horses — for the battle is The LORD’s!”
As I heard those Words, I immediately began to pray, and again The Spirit of Revelation took me to 2 Samuel 24 … and it was highlighted to me the three (3) choices given to David for violating Israel’s Relationship with Yahweh:
- Seven Years of Famine?
- Fleeing from his enemies for three months?
- Three days of plague?
Now as I was reading, suddenly (verse 15) was highlighted to me,
”So The LORD sent a plague upon Israel from the morning till the appointed time,” 2 Samuel 24:15
As I read those Words, I heard these Words, ”Till the appointed time!”
Then I heard, ”Satan has taken a census! For surely Satan has an appointed time, and he seeks to alter the times and seasons once again.
I say, set the Watchmen on the walls, and guards at the Gateways, for Satan seeks a legal right through the same assignment that caused David to violate My Relationship with The Nation of Israel!”
As I heard those Words, I immediately began to cry out to The Father for greater Understanding and Revelation concerning what I was hearing, and I was taken to verse 18:
The Altar on the Threshing Floor
“And Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up, erect an altar to The LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.” 2 Samuel 24:18
David erects an Altar on a Threshing Floor. This is the first warfare strategy; the Altar: a place of Repentance; The Threshing Floor: a place of Divine Separation, Sifting and Distinction.
I heard The Spirit say, “These are the days I AM calling for the rebuilding of The Altars of Awakening.
For Nations are now on The Threshing Floor — for the winnowing Winds of My Seven Spirits come to Sift, Separate and make a Divine Distinction!”
David erected an Altar on The Threshing Floor. The power of Repentance carries the weight to shift the scales and break the power of the curse! (The Assignment of the Plague)
See verse 21:
“Then Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?”
And David said, “To buy the threshing floor from you, to build an altar to The LORD, that the plague may be withdrawn from the people.”” 2 Samuel 24:21
And said, to buy a Threshing Floor from you,.. to build an Altar to The LORD,.. that the plague may be withdrawn from the people.
See verse 24….
“Then the king said to Araunah, “No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to The LORD my God with that which costs me nothing.”
So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.” 2 Samuel 24:24
Then the King Said to Araunah — “No but I shall surely buy it from you for a price, nor will I offer burnt offerings to The LORD my God with that which costs me nothing!”
Again, here is a Strategy for the Days ahead!
”The days ahead will require your everything.
It will cost you everything.
God will require Living Sacrifices upon The Altar as the winnowing Winds of His Seven Spirits blow upon The Threshing Floor!”
See verse 25…
”And David built there an altar to The LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So The LORD heeded the prayers for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel.” 2 Samuel 24:25
And David “built there an Altar” to The LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings… so The LORD heeded the Prayers for the land and the plague was withdrawn!
Friends, I submit to you, I see an Assignment(s) of Satan even now being formulated for the days ahead, when he will seek in even greater ways — through fear, unbelief and even disunity — to cause men to violate the relationship with God and His Promises, in order to give him (Satan) a Legal Right and Permission to touch the lives of many.
Sin is the doorway, and God is bound by His own Laws, and God must punish sin, and when sin violates our Relationship with God — there are consequences!!
(More to come on these strategic assignments of the enemy for the days ahead!)
So, let us heed the Warnings of God, and let us guard our hearts with great diligence and vigilance, for the temptations of the enemy are going to be intensify, as he ramps up his evil agenda in these days to cause many to fall into the same trap as which David did.
“In the days ahead, do not consider your strength in the number of your fighting men — or on the authority of the one who sits in the highest offices of earthly governments.
And do not count on the power of your chariots or horses — for the battle is The LORD’s!”
Please Prayerfully 2 Samuel 24 below. It’s a very strategic Bible chapter for the days ahead!
Please also see the Prophetic Parallel regarding the Staling Anointing of 2 Samuel 23, in the Word, “Dig Your Heels in Deeper!”
2 Samuel 24
“Again the anger of The LORD was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, “Go, number Israel and Judah.”
So the king said to Joab the commander of the army who was with him, “Now go throughout all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the number of the people.”
And Joab said to the king, “Now may The LORD your God add to the people a hundred times more than there are, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king desire this thing?” Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the captains of the army. Therefore Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.
And they crossed over the Jordan and camped in Aroer, on the right side of the town which is in the midst of the ravine of Gad, and toward Jazer. Then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; they came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon; and they came to the stronghold of Tyre and to all the cities of the Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went out to South Judah as far as Beersheba. So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days. Then Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to the king. And there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.”
The Judgment on David’s Sin
“And David’s heart condemned him after he had numbered the people. So David said to The LORD, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, I pray, O Lord, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly.”
Now when David arose in the morning, the word of The LORD came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying, “Go and tell David, ‘Thus says The LORD: “I offer you three things; choose one of them for yourself, that I may do it to you.” ’ ” So Gad came to David and told him; and he said to him, “Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or shall you flee three months before your enemies, while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ plague in your land? Now consider and see what answer I should take back to Him who sent me.”
And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of The LORD, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
So The LORD sent a plague upon Israel from the morning till the appointed time. From Dan to Beersheba seventy thousand men of the people died. And when the [d]angel stretched out His hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, The LORD relented from the destruction, and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “It is enough; now restrain your hand.” And the angel of The LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Then David spoke to The LORD when he saw the angel who was striking the people, and said, “Surely I have sinned, and I have done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, be against me and against my father’s house.”
The Altar on the Threshing Floor
“And Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up, erect an altar to The LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.” So David, according to the word of Gad, went up as The LORD commanded. 20 Now Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming toward him. So Araunah went out and bowed before the king with his face to the ground.
Then Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?”
And David said, “To buy the threshing floor from you, to build an altar to The LORD, that the plague may be withdrawn from the people.”
Now Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up whatever seems good to him. Look, here are oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing implements and the yokes of the oxen for wood. All these, O king, Araunah has given to the king.”
And Araunah said to the king, “May The LORD your God accept you.”
Then the king said to Araunah, “No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to The LORD my God with that which costs me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. And David built there an altar to The LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So The LORD heeded the prayers for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel.” 2 Samuel 24:1-25 NKJV
Blessings to you all.

Blessed to read all the comments and this articles. Truly I am refreshed and gained understanding.
Me too. Thank you, Veronika!
Keep sharing Veronika.
Mary’s comments are important. The types and shadows of all of those feasts of the Lord are of great significance to us and genuinely prophetic. Many are still being fulfilled. Cherish mentioned Isaiah 40 and this is very powerful. It is the basis of John the baptist’s ministry in preparing the way for Messiah’s arrival. He preached to God’s covenant people to the heathen telling them to get ready.
If that happened for Jesus’ first coming, we should expect similar messages to herald His return—often overlooked for the sake of having “revivals”.
On September 1, I will start my 55th year with the Lord and in the latter half of my Shemittah. I am Jewish by natural birth and met Jesus in like manner to Paul’s conversion. I am an ordained non-denominational pastor, reaching into 28 nations around the world. My ministry motto is ”Preparing the way”.
God is a God of all the world, not just America. Please weigh up prophecies that speak like that. I live in Australia and we too have “prophetic words” one from Smith Wigglesworth. In the 1400’s, a Spanish explorer by the name of Ferdinand DeQuiros, named the area in the Pacificy, “Australia Terra Del Espiritu Santo” that means the South land of the Holy Spirit. Test all prophecy!
So blessed to read this comment.
One of my favourite passages in the bible.
Thank you prophet.
We are now in the Hebrew month Elul (Aug.17 pm thru Sept.15 pm 2023), the final month on the Hebrew civil calendar. Elul is known as “The King is in the Field”. In ancient Israel the king would come down in one month and set up his tent to dwell among his people. We are Christ’s permanent dwelling place. Elul is called the month of repentance, forgiveness and mercy. It is also called “the eye of the needle” month, (we must decrease to make it through this narrow way). It is a time of introspection and preparation for the fall Holy Days. The tribe for Elul is Gad who was known as a fierce warrior.
This is truly an ALL or none place in time. He deserves nothing less than ALL.
It’s cost me everything, but it costed Him more.
The persecution is evil and very very cruel.
What He’s been showing me is in Isaiah 40. He tells Isaiah to tell His people that beauty, like the grass and flowers of the field, is temporary, for the breath of the Lord blows on it and it withers up and blows away. But the Word of God stands forever. I’m a shadow of the “pretty” world I once reflected. And there is nothing about me that would draw man to myself, but the beauty I’ve chosen is in the Eternal Reflection of the Beautiful of my Maker. This has placed a bullseye on my back for Jezebel, who’s taken over the Mountains of GOD’S Nations.
But He’s given me the grace to endure. And I know I’m not alone.
I pray for His Remnant daily, i believe Donald Trump is a part of that group, as well as many others who’ve been maliciously maligned and persecuted before a watching world, and we will rise up victorious and strong in the Spirit of our Lord, and nothing and no one will take away our Joy ever again.
God bless your beautiful heart Veronika, thank you for sharing…..and for not giving up!!
