Prophecy, Yom Kippur and Atonement: ‘A Divine Urgency’
While we are in the middle of the Jewish High Holy Days and the anniversary of Oct. 7, now is the moment for us to reflect on God’s glory, His holiness, with all genuine repentance.
During a prophetic vision, Charlie Shamp was given a word from the Lord concerning the Day of Atonement, and how we should navigate this season.

“Tonight, as I sought the Lord in prayer, I was granted a vision that stirred my spirit profoundly. I saw a branding iron, its metal glowing with an intense, holy light, engraved with the scripture from Isaiah 48:10: ‘Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.’ This vision speaks to a transformative season we have just emerged from – a season of divine testing and preparation,” Shamp wrote on Facebook.
Shamp writes that many people have been in the fire of affliction, going through trials that would purify and strengthen their faith and character. However, Shamp writes that God is now taking this opportunity to seal us with His mark that God’s people are set apart for His purposes.
As we approach the Day of Atonement, marked for October 11, 2024, at sundown, I sense a divine urgency in the spirit. This sacred day, concluding at nightfall on October 12, 2024, will be a pivotal moment for many of us. It is a time not just for reflection and repentance, but also for gratitude and recognition of what God has brought us through. The Lord is inviting us into a deeper space of consecration, where we can fully embrace our identity as those who have been refined and sealed by His grace.
Shamp also writes that this is the time when the Lord will bring “clarity and illumination” for those who seek Him with their whole hearts. It is the past trials and the softening of our hearts, Shamp says, that will help those who are being branded by God’s Holy Spirit to carry the weight of coming glory. It is through the fire of refinement that God is now calling people into a new season to shine His light.
As we prepare for the Day of Atonement, let us seek Him in prayer and worship, allowing the Lord to renew our spirits and confirm our calling. May we carry both the branding of the iron and the torch, marked for His glory and shining His light into the darkness. The time has come for us to step boldly into the future He has prepared for us, embracing this sacred season with open hearts, ready to receive all that God is pouring out upon us.
During this time, allow yourself the moment to come boldly before God’s throne of grace with all adoration and praise, knowing that He has the very best plan for your life.
