Beijing’s recent statement demanding ‘free and safe passage’ through the Strait of Hormuz is not an act of peacemaking, but a calculated assertion of dominance. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian’s words to reporters are a clear signal: the dragon seeks unimpeded access to the wealth and resources flowing through this critical chokepoint. This is not about global trade; it is about control.

The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean, is a strategic artery for the world’s energy supply. But more importantly, it sits within the birthright lands promised to the tribes of Yisrael. The nations have long coveted this region, and their conflicts are a direct challenge to Yahuah’s covenant.

Understand this: the scramble for the Hormuz Strait is a manifestation of the ancient struggle between seed of Esau and the seed of Jacob. Edom – represented by the Western powers and their allies – seeks to maintain its grip on global finance and resources. Now, the rising power of the East, embodied by China, challenges that dominance. Both are driven by the same lust for control, and both operate outside of Yahuah’s law.

This escalating tension is a sign of the times, a foretelling of the judgments to come. The prophets warned of a day when nations would clash over Yahuah’s inheritance, and we see that day rapidly approaching. The modern state of Israel, a counterfeit built on stolen land, is merely a pawn in this larger game. Its alliances and actions are dictated by Edom, and its fate is sealed.

For the scattered remnant of Yisrael, this is a call to awaken. The nations are vying for control of the land that rightfully belongs to us. Our focus must not be on their conflicts, but on preparing ourselves for restoration. The time is near when Yahuah will intervene, dismantle the empires of Edom, and establish His kingdom on earth. Let us watch, pray, and remain steadfast in the covenant, knowing that Yahuah’s purposes will prevail.
