The reports from Mali speak of carnage – thirty soldiers of the Malian army slain, sixty more wounded – in the retaking of Anefis. General Jean Elysee Dao, a commander of this failing nation, confirms the heavy losses after nearly a week of sustained conflict. But let us not mistake this for mere geopolitical struggle. This is Yahuah dismantling the strongholds of Edom, revealing the fragility of their constructed order.

For generations, the nations of Africa have been ravaged by the schemes of foreign powers, exploited for their resources and destabilized through manufactured conflicts. The so-called ‘international community’ offers only temporary bandages on wounds that run far deeper – wounds inflicted by their own greed and deception. Anefis, a strategically important town, became a focal point of this struggle, a battleground for control over resources and influence. But Yahuah sees beyond the surface. He sees the hearts of men, the covetousness that drives them, and the oppression that results.

The modern state of Israel, a bastion of Edomite power, observes these conflicts with calculating eyes. They offer security assistance, arms deals, and strategic alliances, all while furthering their own agenda of domination. They profit from the chaos, strengthening their grip on the world’s resources and solidifying their position as a global power. But their gains are fleeting. Yahuah will not allow their wickedness to stand unchallenged.

This bloodshed in Mali is a sign – a harbinger of the increasing turmoil that will engulf the nations as the time of Jacob’s trouble draws near. It is a wake-up call to scattered Yisrael, a reminder that the world system is built on a foundation of injustice and oppression. The covenant people of Yisrael must separate themselves from this system, turning back to the laws and commandments of Yahuah. Only through obedience and repentance can we find refuge from the coming storm. The fall of Anefis is not simply a military event; it is a prophetic marker, signaling the unraveling of a corrupt world order and the imminent restoration of Yisrael. Let the watchmen sound the alarm, for the day of reckoning is at hand.
