Our competitors for Kingdom authority can always be counted on to oppose the overcomers. They never seem to agree with God's verdicts when those verdicts go against them, because it is in the nature of flesh to disagree with God. They are by nature rebellious and in opposition to God. Though King Saul was religious, even to the point of destroying witchcraft in Israel (1 Samuel 28:9), God considered Saul’s rebellion to be “as witchcraft” (1 Samuel 15:23 KJV).
It is peculiar that believers who are in witchcraft often are unaware of it. Their religious zeal in opposing the witchcraft of non-believers hides their disagreement with God. It is part of the overall blindness that afflicts the whole world, except for the chosen overcomers (Romans 11:7) whom God has brought out of darkness.
The All-Out War
When the representative of Pentecost sent her opposition letter (received January 29, 2001), we prayed to know how to handle it in a biblical way. So we were led to put our staves into the temple in heaven, thereby giving back the spiritual authority to God, allowing Him to return it to whomsoever He would. As with Aaron’s rod that budded ripe almonds (Numbers 17:8), our rod of authority also budded, so to speak, when the Berrys arrived at God’s appointed time.
The Lord informed us that this verdict on February 21 would only stir up an “all-out war,” beginning 3:00 p.m. (Pacific Time), February 26, 2001. It would be concluded, God said, at 10:32 a.m. on Feb. 28. We received very specific revelation ahead of time.
The day after Sunny Day’s meetings were concluded, I was scheduled to fly to Seattle to teach from Feb. 23-27, so I presumed that the all-out war would erupt while I was there. This battle was to be fought against the golden calves over America, represented by seven “princes.” There would be three battles to overthrow these seven.
The word given to us on February 26 was this:
“This battle will be against the Red Dragon, Beelzebub, and the Prince of Revenge. It will last two days. The Red Dragon is leading the battle but remains in the background. Beelzebub and the Prince of Revenge will be overthrown, but not the Red Dragon. When you overthrow them, replace them with Joy and Peace.”
The next day, February 27, we received this word:
“Beelzebub is a Troubling Spirit, the counterpart to Joy. The Red Dragon has given you legal cause against him, and I will lead you into an offensive warfare against him March 22. The battle will last to the third day. You will overthrow and imprison the Red Dragon and three other princes.”
Apparently, it was important that I should leave the Seattle area a day before the end of the battle. The battle ended February 28, but I returned to Minneapolis on February 27.
Twenty-two minutes after the end of the battle, at 10:54 a.m. (PST), a 6.8 Richter earthquake struck Seattle, cracking the Capitol Dome in Olympia, Washington. Olympia itself is very symbolic, since it represents the capitol of the Greek gods in ancient times at Mount Olympus. More than that, the state of Washington itself represents Washington D.C.
On March 1, 2001 God clarified these things by saying,
“The Seattle quake was the result of the spiritual warfare, caused by the Prince of Revenge. Even so, it is a sign of Light, for it occurred 22 minutes after your prayer. The Capitol dome in Olympia is connected spiritually to the Capitol dome in Washington D.C. Its crack in Olympia signifies what is about to happen in Washington D.C, for it represents the overthrow of the false gods of Olympia and the false Roman gods portrayed in the Capitol dome in Washington D.C.”
Thus, the cracked Dome in 2001 was a prophetic sign of what will happen to the government (“dome”) of the District of Columbia itself in years to come, as the false gods are replaced. This crack in the federal government did not begin to emerge until recently, but we foresaw it in 2001.
The earthquake took place more precisely under the tip of Devils Head on Key Peninsula not far from Seattle. It is so named because it is in the shape of a serpent's head. On Oct. 2, 1999 other friends of mine (Dave and Sherry) had stood there, speaking a prophetic word to “cut off the serpent’s head.” So the fact that the quake occurred under that spot shows that they were actually prophesying and setting into motion a future spiritual battle that would manifest as a 6.8 Richter earthquake on Feb. 28, 2001.
At the same time, a large pendulum carved a beautiful rose in the sand.
"The smooth curves on the outside of the rose depict the normal movements of the pendulum. The earthquake created the center, or “pupil” of the eye-like image, preserving the movement of the seismic activity long after it had passed.
“Our own impression is that there’s something amazing about how such a massive and very destructive release of energy can also contain such delicate artistry within its chaos.” said Norman MacLeod, one of the first to find the Rose."

Spiritual warfare can cause chaos, but it always results in positive change. In this case, we can see that the cracking of the Washington Dome signifies the removal of oppressive government in order to replace it with something better. Those who see only the chaos will remain blind to the purpose of God. Many saw the rose in the sand but only understood it dimly.
God give us eyes to see Your plan and purposes, so that when we see the chaos all around us, we will not fear but be strong in faith, knowing that nothing is out of Your control. When others see only disaster and danger, let us see the rose and have hope.
Against Baal-zebub
The first battle (Feb. 23-27) was to overthrow the first two princes: Beelzebub and the Prince of Revenge. These were to be replaced by Joy and Peace (Spirits of God) the day after I returned home from Seattle. This replacement was made at precisely 10:32 a.m. on February 28 (according to our revelation that this would be the end of the battle).
Baal-zebub is about Zionism and has to do with the Temple Mount in old Jerusalem. Beelzebub is the prince that has run America's foreign policy since 1948. His name means “Lord of the Flies,” and he was originally the god of Ekron (2 Kings 1:3). The Jews had altered the name slightly, calling him Beelzebul (Matthew 12:24). It means “Lord of the dunghill,” where flies tend to accumulate. The Temple Mount became a dunghill in 70 A.D. by the judgment of God.
In 1948 the Birthright was given back to Esau-Edom for a season, perhaps for 76 years (2024). Recall that Jacob had obtained the blessing through deception in Genesis 27:19). For this reason, he had to give it back to Esau to allow him sufficient time to prove himself unworthy. This occurred on May 14, 1948 when the British flag (“Union Jack,” or Jacob) was lowered and the land was given to the representatives of Esau.
Esau was called Edom (Genesis 36:1). The Greek form is Idumea (Mark 3:8). The Idumeans were conquered in 126 B.C. and forced to become Jews, as the historians tell us. From then on, we read, Edom, or Idumea, ceased to exist as a separate nation, because the Edomites became Jews. Hence, the prophecies in Scripture regarding Edom/Idumea can be fulfilled only through that portion of world Jewry. The state called Israel actually represents Esau, not Jacob, because Jacob had to relinquish the Birthright and the name Israel to Esau on account of his sin in Genesis 27.
If you know nothing about this, see my book, The Struggle for the Birthright.
Though Baal-zebub was overthrown in spiritual warfare in February 2001, we must wait to see the results emerge in the earth. There is usually a time difference between the victory in the Divine Court and the manifestation of that victory in the world. The same principle is seen with Christ’s death on the cross, which saved the world. When He rose victorious over death, He secured the salvation of the world, but the world was not immediately saved. Translating events from heaven to earth can take thousands of years.
Against the Prince of Revenge
The second prince that was overthrown in the first battle was the Prince of Revenge. As he was being overthrown, he took his revenge by setting off the earthquake in Seattle. But as usual, God used him to set off a future political earthquake that is even now overthrowing the government in Washington D.C. If you have eyes to see, the cracks are quite evident.
This Prince was also the spirit behind the Twin Towers demolition on Sept. 11, 2001. This event changed America and set events into motion that would eventually bring about positive change. The enemies of the people within our own government agencies planned this demolition for many years and then used it to pass the infamous “Patriot Act” to bring the people into further bondage.
Nonetheless, in the end, the perpetrators will be exposed, and their crimes will be judged. There is nothing hidden that will not be shouted from the housetops.
The Twin Towers demolition was used to stir up the spirit of revenge in the hearts of the people. The people could not conceive of the idea that enemies within their own government had done this in order to increase their power and control. Osama bin Laden, who was a CIA agent with the code name Tim Osman, played the role of the mastermind behind this attack. But the bin Laden family had long been a major business partner with the Bush family.
There is insufficient time and space to go into all of the details that have emerged in recent years. The point here is to see that the real enemies in our own government stimulated the spirit of revenge in the unsuspecting populace and then diverted their rage toward bin Laden and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
We ought to have repented of our own sin instead of reacting with a spirit of revenge. Revenge is not a proper motive. We must be led by the Spirit, not by political leaders who manipulate us by emotion and fear. Unfortunately, men normally are quick to assume that the enemy is someone other than themselves. We see this everywhere in the writings of God’s prophets.
