"I AM DISTINGUISHING MY DAUGHTERS IN THIS HOUR."

There are two daughters in the eyes of the Lord in Lamentations 4:22 —

Daughter of Zion and Daughter of Edom —

and today the Holy Spirit is releasing a word through their story.

Daughter of Zion: The Disciplined, Yet Beloved

“O daughter of Zion, the punishment of your iniquity is accomplished…”

Zion represents God’s covenant people — the ones He loves, refines, and restores.

She walked through fire. She felt the weight of discipline. Her walls fell. Her comfort was stripped. Her pride burned away.

But here’s the prophetic word:

Your discipline is ending.

Your season of shaking has accomplished its work.

Your restoration is at hand.

God says to the Daughter of Zion:

“I never abandoned you. I was cleansing you. Now I am restoring you.”

Your suffering will not follow you into the next season.

Your exile is over.

Your story is turning.

Daughter of Edom: The Proud, The Cruel, The Mocking

“He will punish your iniquity, O daughter of Edom…”

While Zion wept, Edom laughed.

While Zion repented, Edom rejoiced in her downfall.

While Zion faced refining fire, Edom used her pain as entertainment.

The Lord says:

“I will deal with everything that mocked your obedience.

Every spirit, every person, every attack that celebrated your struggle —

its day of reckoning is here.”

This is not vengeance.

This is justice.

This is divine reversal.

“To My Daughter of Zion — your tears have been counted, your repentance has been heard, and your refining has produced purity. Watch how I restore you in the presence of every Edom that mocked you.”

“To the Daughter of Edom — the pride that lifted itself against My people will now be brought low.”

God is settling accounts.

If you are in Zion’s shoes — weary, humbled, stretched, purified —

hear this:

Your suffering is not punishment anymore.

It has become preparation.

Your restoration has already begun.

And every “Edom” that celebrated your weakness

will watch God raise you up in His strength.
