**Look up, your redemption draws near.** Join Joseph Z in today's prophetic broadcast, as he discusses the U.S. military's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and its implications for Iranian shipping. He envisions significant changes in ministries and leadership, warns of rising political confusion, societal challenges, and potential global cyber attacks.

Joseph provides an update on the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, noting that the U.S. military's actions apply to all Iranian ports and coastal areas within the waterway. The purpose of the blockade is to suppress Iranian shipping traffic while keeping this crucial global shipping route open to other vessels. He also highlights a move by California Democrats to criminalize citizen journalism, humorously referring to the bill as the "STOP NICK SHIRLEY ACT."

He shares his vision for significant changes in many ministries, leadership roles, and a shift in the guard. This transformation will also be evident in the business sector, where there is a temptation to "run to the roar." However, those who are led by the Spirit will ultimately achieve great success. Joseph emphasizes that relational changes are on the horizon for many people as we approach a barrier signifying a major shift, one that will require intervention from those who have been spiritually dormant. This barrier will bring political confusion, uncertainty regarding Israel, and a rise in narratives related to the paranormal, witchcraft, and UFOs. Nevertheless, he reassures us that light will break through amid this present age of evil.

Joseph also warns of a potential cyber attack involving phones, power grids, and satellites, which he believes could be a global issue. He states that the Lord will bring about a doubling effect to overcome this barrier and reiterates that a dark horse figure will emerge during these times. He reminds us that no one can escape accountability, as God cannot be mocked. He draws a parallel to the SS U.S. Ship, which is destined to sink, stressing that there is prophetic significance in this ship and its surrounding story.

He reveals that an unconventional youth awakening is on the horizon, assuring us that God will equip us to break through the barrier. He directs our attention to Psalm 34:4-22, which reassures us that the Lord will deliver us from the devourer and persecution, as those who seek the Lord will lack no good thing. He encourages us to turn away from evil, do good, seek peace, and pursue it. We are reminded that the righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them, delivering them from all their troubles, as many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers them from them all.
