Just hours before storming the church, she posted a passage from The Book of Zechariah 10:2: ‘For the idols speak delusion; the diviners envision lies, and tell false dreams; they comfort in vain. Therefore the people wend their way like sheep; they are in trouble because there is no shepherd.’

On April 7, she wrote: ‘The one who came as Jesus was a liar!!! Another word for “The Comforter” is The Advocate! Why would he say that unless he’s the Adversary??? Which means that since we’ve been worshipping him as God and believing everything he said, we’ve all be deceived.
On April 15, about a week before Anna Conkey showed up at Mount Everest Academy with a gun, she made a Facebook post talking about how God had appointed her to give the church a message.
She said that she went to the church to deliver this message, but instead of listening, the church called the police and ordered her to leave.
Conkey said “I didn’t do anything. I guess when I said that I God told me I’m his messenger, and an apostle, and a prophet, and according to the Bible, the apostle has more power than the teacher…I was sent there for a reason.”
Conkey went on to talk about the “message” which she said God had entrusted to her.
She explained that, in her view, the curses set out in the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy have come to pass today. She said that because human beings have stopped being obedient to God’s will, they’ve been cursed with fevers, short lives, and even sun burns.
