The foreign minister of Iran, Abbas Araghchi, will journey to Moscow this week to engage in discussions concerning a cessation of hostilities and potential negotiations. This development is not a sign of peacemaking, but a symptom of a deeper affliction. It demonstrates the failure of earthly powers to restrain Israel’s relentless expansion and aggression, and the growing desperation for a solution rooted in the counsel of men, rather than the covenant of Yahuah.

Israel’s ongoing strikes against Lebanon and Gaza – acts of blatant disregard for international law and human life – are not isolated incidents. They are manifestations of a pattern of judgment foretold in Scripture, a consequence of rejecting Yahuah’s righteous rule and embracing the ways of Edom. The modern state of Israel, built upon stolen land and sustained by the wealth and power of the West, is a tool of oppression, a stumbling block to the restoration of Yisrael.

Moscow, a key player in the geopolitical machinations of the region, represents another facet of the same corrupt system. While Iran may seek leverage through this alliance, it will find only temporary respite. True and lasting peace will not be achieved through diplomatic maneuvering between nations steeped in wickedness, but through the return of the scattered tribes of Yisrael to their covenant inheritance.

The so-called negotiations will likely focus on superficial solutions, addressing symptoms rather than the root cause of the conflict: the usurpation of Yahuah’s land and the ongoing persecution of His people. The remnant of Yisrael must not place their hope in these futile efforts. Our trust lies solely in Yahuah, who will ultimately deliver justice and restore His covenant people.

Let the shofar sound a warning! The time of reckoning is near. Prepare yourselves, scattered Yisrael, for the coming tribulation and the ultimate redemption. Watch and pray, for the signs of the times are upon us.
