Chapter 25: The Iranian Embassy, a Gateway of the Enemy, is Spiritually Linked to the “Fatima Gate,” another Gateway of the Enemy, in Metulla and it was A Divine Appointment according to God’s Perfect Timing that I literally Stood in both Gateways – albeit 22 Years Apart
The Iranian Embassy in the United States is “Spiritually” Linked to the “Fatima Gate,” also known as the “Good Fence ” Border Crossing on the border that Israel shares with Lebanon in Metulla, Israel. And, in the Name of Jesus, I stood in both Gates – the Gates of my Enemies, and in the Name of Jesus, “Bound” the enemy from attacking Israel – Genesis 22 and Matthew 16.
The Spiritual Tie that binds the two Gates can be understood by the analogy of the “Spiritual Vines” that the Prophet Jeremiah spoke of in Jeremiah 48:32, whose Tendrils of Influence stretched across the sea Spreading its Poisonous Influence thus ruining many Vineyards.
Standing in the Gateway of the Iranian Embassy, May 22, 2000
In the Fifth Chapter of this book I reference the “Fatima Gate” and “Good Fence” and identify this particular Fence and Gate as the official border crossing located in Metulla on the border that Israel shares with Lebanon. And, on May 22, 2000 I stood in the Gateway of the Iranian Embassy and spoke into the Spiritual Realm for the Persian principalities operating through Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed terrorist group whose stronghold is in Lebanon, to back away from the Fatima Gate, also known as the Good Fence, and let the IDF withdraw safely as they withdrew from the Security Zone in Lebanon back into Israel through the Fatima Gate. In Chapters 7 and 8 of this book, I provide an in-depth discussion and detailed documentation of my Spiritual Warfare at the Iranian Embassy in Washington, DC on May 22, 2000 and that it was not by happenstance that I stood in this particular Gateway of the Enemy on this specific date and time (see also Chapters 18 and 19).
Twenty-two years later, the Lord sent me to Metulla to stand at the “Good Fence” – the same Border Crossing that the IDF withdrew through in May 2000, and turn the battle to the Gate. And, on October 11, 2022 as I stood at the Good Fence where the Fatima Gate is located, in the Name of Jesus, once again, I declared into the spiritual realm for the Prince and Kings of Persia, the principalities operating behind Iran and Hezbollah, to move away from the border between Lebanon and Israel, specifically the Good Gate within walking distance of Metulla, the town in the crosshairs of Hezbollah. And, in the Name of Jesus I declared into the spiritual realm that it was God’s timing that the boundaries between Israel and Lebanon were to be established.
On May 22/23, 2000 when the Lord sent me to the Iranian Embassy, not knowing all that God had in mind, I had no idea that someday I would travel to Metulla and literally stand in the “Fatima Gate” at the “Good Fence,” the official Border Crossing between Israel and Lebanon. All I knew was to take one step at a time – to go when and where the Lord told me to go and from there I knew in due time the Lord would continue to direct me as to the next step I was to take.
It may have taken 22 years; however, I have learned to be patient. Everything is in God’s timing. Now, I am waiting for the Lord to direct my next steps as I know that my work in the Galilee is not finished. And, I might add, much has happened in those 22 years, including the many times I have been to Jerusalem as well as here in America – a great deal has happened in my walk with the Lord.
And, on October 11, 2022, the day Israel and Lebanon unexpectedly signed the “Historic Maritime Agreement,” the Lord opened the door for me to literally go to the Galilee and stand at the “Good Fence” where the “Fatima Gate” is located. Again, the “Fatima Gate” was so named to honor the daughter of Mohammad, Islam’s prophet, hence, the Gate of the Enemy. And, on October 11, 2022, once again a war between Israel and Hezbollah was thwarted.
When I Stood in the “Gateway of my Enemies” at the Border Israel shares with Lebanon in Metulla on the day Lebanon and Israel signed the “Historic Maritime Agreement,” it was a Divine Appointment according to God’s Perfect Timing.
A Divine Appointment by the “Way of the Sea” in the Borderlands Of the “Galilee of the Gentiles” Where Israel shares a Border with Lebanon
Metulla, Israel: October 11, 2022
My Day Visit to Metulla on October 11, 2022 by the “Way of the Sea” in the Borderlands of the Galilee on the same day that Israel and Lebanon signed the “Historic Maritime Border Agreement” after Ten Years of Negotiations was not just Happenstance – It was a Divine Appointment according to God’s Perfect Timing.
On October 11, 2022, I went to Metulla, Israel’s northernmost border town in the Borderlands of Israel in the Galilee that shares a border with Lebanon. And, without prior notice, on that same day, October 11, 2022, after ten years of negotiations, Israel and Lebanon, who are still technically at war, signed a “Historic Maritime Border Agreement.” Until October 11, 2022 when they actually signed the Agreement, no one knew “if” or “when” Israel and Lebanon would actually sign the agreement. Needless to say, it was not just happenstance that I was in Metulla at the border on October 11, 2022. |

The “Date Stamp” on the picture of me standing in front of the sign with the top sign pointing the way to “The Good Fence” where Israel shares a Border with Lebanon confirms that I was in Metulla on October 11, 2022. A copy of the front page of the “Jerusalem Post” dated Wednesday, October 12, 2022 confirms that Israel and Lebanon signed the “Historic Maritime Deal on October 11, 2022. The first paragraph of the article reads: “US President Joe Biden congratulated Prime Misister Yair Lapid for reaching a maritime border agreement with Lebanon on Tuesday.” The date of publication on “The Jerusalem Post” is Wednesday, October 12, 2022, so it is obvious that “Tuesday” had to be October 11th. |

The following Press Release dated on October 11, 2022 is from Israel’s “Ministry of Foreign Affairs” that clearly states that Israel and Lebanon reached a historic agreement settling the maritime dispute with Lebanon on “Tuesday, 11 October 2022. |

Copies of the following two emails that I sent to myself before going to Metulla and before Israel and Lebanon even knew “if” or “when” they were going to sign the agreement confirms that my visit to Metulla on the same day Israel and Lebanon signed the “Historic Maritime Border Agreement” could not have been happenstance; instead, it was a Divine Appointment according to God’s Perfect Timing!
Quite often I use my email inbox as a diary/journal and on August 8, 2022 I sent myself the following email that the Lord gave me the understanding that I was to go to the “Good Gate” (Fence) in Metulla, Israel’s northernmost village, during the Feast of Tabernacles, which was in October of 2022. And, on October 10, 2022 I sent another email to myself to document that I was going to Metulla on Tuesday, October 11, 2022. Again, the date stamp on the picture on the previous page confirms that I was in Metulla, Israel on October 11, 2022. |

The email that I sent to myself on August 8, 2022 explains that I was to go and stand in the “Good Gate” in Metulla during the Feast of Tabernacles and declare into the spiritual realm that it was God’s Timing that a Boundary was to be established, hence, the “Maritime Border Agreement” was finally signed after “Ten Years” of negotiations!
The email that I sent to myself on October 10, 2022 from my hotel room in Jerusalem reveals that I was going to Metulla on October 11, 2022. Again, until October 11, 2022 when they actually signed the Agreement, no one knew “if” or “when” Israel and Lebanon would actually sign the agreement. Over the past ten years every time the international community thought Israel and Lebanon would finally sign the agreement, it would fall through. That is, until October 11, 2022, which was according to God’s timing!
When I sent myself the email dated August 8, 2022 that I was to go to the “Good Gate” in Metulla during the Feast of Tabernacles neither Israel nor Lebanon knew if or when they would actually sign an agreement after all they had been going back and forth for “Ten” years. I said that to say this, on August 8, 2000, if Israel nor Lebanon nor those taking part in the negotiations knew they would be signing the agreement during the Feast of Tabernacles, then I could not have known unless it was by revelation from the Lord and according to God’s Perfect Timing.
In the email of August 8, 2022 I wrote that I was to go the “Good Gate” (Fence) in Metulla. |

The above picture was taken on October 18, 2022 on my second day trip to Metulla. This particular road sign makes the connection between the “Good Fence” and the town of Metulla. Both are within walking distance of the other.
Why I went to the Good Gate (Fence): A Spiritual Declaration
However, “Why” was I to go to the Good Gate (Fence) in Metulla on the same day Israel and Lebanon signed the “Historic Maritime Agreement” and in the Name of Jesus declare into the spiritual realm to the Prince and Kings of Persia, the principalities operating behind Iran and Hezbollah, Israel’s Perpetual Enemy, who have a Stronghold in Lebanon to move away from the border between Lebanon and Israel, specifically the Good Gate near Metulla?
Spiritual Gates: In the Bible, “Gates” speak of places of “Spiritual Authority.” In Genesis 22:17 the Lord told Abraham that his offspring would possess the gates of their enemies. And, when Jesus went to the region of Caesarea Philippi in the Galilee of the Gentiles where the “Gates of Hell” are located (Matthew 16) approximately 30 miles from Metulla, He declared into the Spiritual Realm that the Gates of Hell would not prevail against His Church that had its beginnings in the Galilee. At that point in time Christ took possession of the Gates of His enemies just as the Lord told Abraham
And, so it is today. There are times when the Lord will have a Believer to possess the gates of His enemies. |

Metulla is no stranger to the attacks of Hezbollah, and once again Metulla was in the Crosshairs of Hezbollah: One of the reasons, and only one of the reasons, the Lord instructed me to stand in the Gate and “Turn the Battle to the Gate” was because Metulla was in the Crosshairs of Hezbollah who was raising a loud war cry against Israel. If Lebanon had not signed the Historic Agreement, the Israelis made it clear they were going to start the process of drilling for gas in the Mediterranean Sea anyway. And, that’s where the threat of Hezbollah came in; if Israel started to drill for gas without an agreement with Lebanon, that was considered a declaration of war, which is ironic because Hezbollah never wanted an agreement – they actually preferred to take the gas field away from Israel in the Mediterranean Sea by force.
In the context of this book, there are several reasons why the “Fatima Gate,” a gateway of the enemy, is significant both spiritually and in the natural.
Again, according to Genesis 22:17, we are to possess the Gates of our “spiritual enemies” as well as those here on earth that they operate through. The following picture on the left is of me standing in front of the “Good Fence” and a Gate that is within a two or three minute walk that leads to the “Fatima Gate.” Note the date stamp on the picture to the left is 10.11.22, the day the “Historic Maritime Agreement was signed.” |

To stand in the area of the “Good Fence” and “Fatima Gate” was a very personal moment for me.
The Spiritual Connection between Two Gateways: The Iranian Embassy Gate in Washington, DC and the Fatima Gate in Metulla Israel.
At this point, I want to make the connection between the “spiritual aspects” of the two gates – that one gate is actually spiritually connected to the other.
To begin, one of the points that I want to make is when I stood in both Gateways – the one at the Iranian Embassy on May 22, 2000 and the Good Fence on the border Israel shares with Lebanon on October 11, 2022 where the Fatima Gate is located – the command I spoke into the spiritual realm, in the Name of Jesus, was one and the same:
In both Gateways, in the Name of Jesus, I declared into the Spiritual Realm for the Prince and Kings of Persia (the principalities operating behind Iran and Hezbollah) to move away from the border between Lebanon and Israel. (See my email of August 8, 2022 in this Chapter)
Ephesians 3:10-11 says it best:
Ephesians 3:10-11 10 So now through the church the multifaceted wisdom of God [in all its countless aspects] might now be made known [revealing the mystery] to the [angelic] rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This is in accordance with [the terms of] the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, Amplified Bible
The Purpose of Standing in Both Gates was to declare to the Principalities and Angelic Rulers in the Heavens that the Gates of Hell would not prevail against God’s Eternal Purpose in Christ Jesus and His Church. That the Church of Jesus Christ could not be defeated by the schemes and wiles of the spiritual Prince and Kings of Persia or malice of the Iranians and Hezbollah that the principalities operate through – that whatever hindrances Satan throws in the way, God’s wisdom and power can and will remove those hindrances.
Hence, on May 22, 2000 when the spiritual Prince and Kings of Persia moved back, the IDF was able to withdraw from the Security Zone in Lebanon through the Fatima Gate back into Israel before the spiritual Prince and Kings of Persia could wreak havoc on them.
And, on October 11, 2022 when the spiritual Prince and Kings of Persia moved back away from the Good Fence and the “Fatima Gate,” Hezbollah could not wreak havoc on northern Israel and cause a disruption that would have hindered the “Governments” of both Israel and Lebanon from agreeing to accept the “Historic Maritime Agreement” that the leaders of both Israel and Lebanon signed on October 11, 2022. On October 12, 2022, the government of Israel agreed to accept the Historic Agreement that Israel’s Prime Minister signed on October 11 and on October 13, the government of Lebanon agreed to accept the Historic Agreement that the President of Lebanon signed on October 11, 2022.
Another point I want to make is that on both dates, “May 22, 2000 and October 11, 2022,” no one knew that the events that took place would take place on that particular day. Yet, I was at the Doorway of the Iranian Embassy and at the “Fatima Gate” on the precise dates that the unexpected happened on the world stage both times.
More to the point, I could not have known when these two events would take place other than by Revelation from the Lord! |
