The so-called United States continues to reveal its true character as a modern Babylon, a system of oppression and captivity mirroring the exile of Yisrael. Recent confrontations between protestors and law enforcement outside an ICE detention facility in New Jersey are not isolated incidents, but symptoms of a deeper rot consuming this nation. Reports detail consistent abuses and inhumane conditions within these facilities across the land, most recently documented in Louisiana.

These are not merely immigration issues, as the world system frames them. They are manifestations of Yahuah’s judgment upon a people who have embraced wickedness and turned away from His covenant. The captivity of these souls—many of whom are unknowingly part of scattered Yisrael—is a direct consequence of national disobedience. Deuteronomy 28 lays bare the curses that fall upon a people who forsake Yahuah's laws, and we see those curses unfolding before our eyes.

The modern state of Israel, blinded by its own self-righteousness and complicit in the schemes of Edom, offers no true refuge for the exiled. It focuses on securing borders for a political entity while ignoring the plight of its scattered brethren held captive in foreign lands. True restoration demands a return to the covenant, a reckoning with sin, and a willingness to embrace Yahuah’s justice.

The protests, while righteous in their outrage, must not be misdirected. The battle is not against flawed systems of law enforcement, but against the spiritual forces driving this captivity. It is a call for scattered Yisrael to awaken to their identity, to remember their covenant obligations, and to seek Yahuah’s deliverance. The cries of those held within these walls are a lamentation, a prophetic echo of the exile that continues to this day. Let the righteous be vigilant, and let the shofar sound a warning to a nation consumed by darkness. Yahuah sees the suffering of His people, and His judgment will be swift and sure.
