On the evening of December 15, 2017, I was listening to the voice of the Lord within when I saw a picture in my spirit.

It was a black umbrella, and it was open. I wondered what it meant.

Lord, what would you say to me about this umbrella?

I will shield you from the fallout. Know that I am protecting you. What will fall on others will not fall on you. Stay under the umbrella of my protection, and I will guard you and keep you.

Lord, what kind of fallout are you talking about?

I felt like it’s things that are falling upon the world.

Lord, what would you say more to me about this?

I just see myself being hidden under the umbrella while flakes, or more like ashes, fall around me.

Is there anything final, Lord?

I will keep you in the hour of trial. I will shield thee and protect thee. Remain under the umbrella of my protection, and I will protect you from the fallout.

Needless to say, this vision and explanation intrigued me. What would be falling upon the world that I needed protection from? I prayed about it over the next few days.

On December 19, 2017, I asked further about the vision and the message.

Can you tell me more about this fallout that you’re protecting me from? Can you clarify, give me more detail about this protection and this fallout?

Political influences are changing the climate of this nation. And I desire that you be immune to their effects. I will cover you. I will keep you from fear.

Though others hearts fail them for fear in this time, I will protect you. I will strengthen you. I will undergird you. I will lift you up in my arms and keep you close to my heart.

Fear not, says the Lord, for all is under my control. I will exert my influence in ways that you have not seen before. Certain things may happen that seem discouraging. But know that I am in control and that I am guiding the courses of all nations.

I will guide not only your path but the path of my Church, the path of all those who follow me and seek my face. And I will put my hand upon this nation.

Know that nothing will befall this world that I do not know about. I have many plans of which you need not be concerned. But look to me and trust in me and find your rest in me, and I will keep you in perfect peace. Fix your mind, stay your eyes upon me, and I will keep you in perfect peace, says the Lord.

Thank you. Is there anything else that you would say to me or show to me?

I see the hands of the Lord open and cupped together, and they’re holding the world. I’m reminded of that song, “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.”

History is mine, says the Lord, the past, the present, and the future. Things will turn out just as I have planned.

Know that I am Lord of time and all creation. And the courses of the nations are set by my determined foreknowledge.

Though the nations rage, I am on the throne. And I will work my plan to the glory of my Kingdom and the praise of my Son.

Follow that King. Serve him and trust in him, and he will keep you safe and lead you along the way everlasting.

The world and the U.S. are in turmoil. But regardless of what happens, God can protect us and keep us at peace as we look to Christ, the King of Kings. Remain under His umbrella of protection and know that He cares for you.

“Though the mountains be shaken
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
nor my covenant of peace be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
—Isaiah 54:10 NIV
