There Is A Suddenly Coming To New Zealand

At the Joshua Mills Conference in Auckland this week I had the following vision.
Last night I saw the chariots of God coming in; so I went and sat against the wall to see what they were up to, Had a wonderful experience where there was a golden net stretched over the whole of NZ. It was lifted and placed on the entire land by the Angels.
Everything under the net was "captured" It was the Lords net and the Angels said that the net would fall suddenly on the entire nation and the hearts of a nation would be captured by the Lord.
(suddenly can mean any length of time in the spirit realm but I felt it was a quick work)
The Angels then lifted the net up into the heavens (from the land into the heavens) and it became like an open heaven over the land. There was a good deal of activity between heaven & Earth over New Zealand and from New Zealand into heaven. I felt like Isaiah 9 was being fulfilled.
"He will establish His Kingdom, uphold justice & righteousness forever with zeal"
The net had accomplished its purpose and a large percentage of the population were now abandoned to Jesus. The wells under the land were producing a revival for the nations.
While I was on the ground a Maori woman came she said "its time for the ends of the Earth to see her King" It was like the voice of the land declaring its destiny. A prophetic sign of the intention of the Lord for the Ends of the Earth.
I heard the sounds of celebration and great joy in the heavens. Then in one sweep an unusual chariot passed through the meeting there were many Angels in this chariot I heard the words The heavens are open the heavens are open, make way for the King. As the chariot left the meeting and ascended into heaven, I heard the sound of the NZ national anthem in the meeting
I came back knowing it was a very significant time to sing "God defend New Zealand"
This song was first written in 1875 and became very popular as a national hymn, In 1940 the NZ Government brought the rights to the song and declared it NZ's national hymn "God save the queen was the official national anthem until November the 21st 1977 when queen Elizabeth gave her blessing to "God defend NZ" from that time it became our official national anthem. since 1875 the words have been sung over our nation as a prayer.
I felt like the time for an answer to this prayer had come. see the Anthem below.
God of Nations at Thy feet,
THE NEW ZEALAND NATIONAL ANTHEM
God of Nations at Thy feet,
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war,
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand.
Men of every creed and race,
Gather here before Thy face,
Asking Thee to bless this place,
God defend our free land.
From dissension, envy, hate,
And corruption guard our state,
Make our country good and great,
God defend New Zealand.
Peace, not war, shall be our boast,
But, should foes assail our coast,
Make us then a mighty host,
God defend our free land.
Lord of battles in Thy might,
Put our enemies to flight,
Let our cause be just and right,
God defend New Zealand.
Let our love for Thee increase,
May Thy blessings never cease,
Give us plenty, give us peace,
God defend our free land.
From dishonour and from shame,
Guard our country's spotless name,
Crown her with immortal fame,
God defend New Zealand.
May our mountains ever be
Freedom's ramparts on the sea,
Make us faithful unto Thee,
God defend our free land.
Guide her in the nations' van,
Preaching love and truth to man,
Working out Thy glorious plan,
God defend New Zealand.
