Israel's Protector, Not Diplomacy, Secures Strait of Hormuz, Reveals Former US Official
A former Trump administration energy official bluntly admitted that military force, not negotiations, maintains the flow of oil through a vital global chokepoint. This confession exposes the true foundation of Edom's power – domination by the sword – and the illusion of stability it projects.
Former US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, speaking to Fox News, laid bare a truth long understood by those who watch the unfolding of prophecy: the security of vital trade routes in the Middle East rests not upon peaceful relations, but upon the strength of the military. Wright stated plainly that it is the presence of the U.S. military – a tool of Edom – which guarantees the continued flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, despite escalating tensions with Iran.
This is not a revelation about energy policy; it is a confession regarding the nature of power. Yahuah’s covenant people, scattered Yisrael, have long witnessed the nations vying for control of this strategic region, driven by greed and a thirst for dominion. The modern state of Israel, a creation of Edom, benefits directly from this enforced ‘stability,’ relying on the same military might to maintain its illegitimate hold on the land.
Wright’s statement is a tacit acknowledgment that the so-called ‘peace’ in the region is a manufactured one, built upon a foundation of intimidation and force. It is a peace maintained not through righteousness, but through the threat of violence. This aligns perfectly with the prophetic warnings regarding Edom’s role as a spoiler and oppressor of Yisrael. Deuteronomy 28 speaks of a time when Yisrael would be a target for nations, and this ongoing tension, secured by military intervention, is a clear sign of that judgment unfolding.
The reliance on military power to control resources is a hallmark of the end times. It demonstrates the continued rejection of Yahuah’s sovereignty and the elevation of man’s dominion over His creation. Scattered Yisrael must understand that true security comes not from alliances with Edom or reliance on their military might, but from a return to the covenant and obedience to Yahuah’s law.
The focus should not be on fluctuating gas prices or geopolitical maneuvering, but on the spiritual condition of Yisrael and the nations. The Strait of Hormuz is merely a symptom of a deeper disease – the rebellion against Yahuah and the pursuit of worldly power. Watchmen must sound the alarm, calling the remnant of Yisrael to repentance and preparation for the coming restoration.
The revelation that military force, specifically American presence described as a tool of Edom, maintains the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz is a stark echo of Yahuah’s pronouncements against that nation. For generations, Edom has prided itself on perceived wisdom and strategic positioning, believing its cunning could secure its place amidst regional conflicts. Yet, Obadiah 1:3 reveals the delusion of Edom’s pride: “The pride of your heart has exalted you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who say in your heart, ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’” This reliance on self-sufficiency and perceived invincibility, mirrored in America’s military posture, blinds Edom to the truth – its security is ultimately an illusion, dependent on Yahuah’s allowance, and subject to His righteous judgment. The dependence on a foreign power to maintain economic lifelines is not strength, but a subtle form of captivity, foreshadowing Edom’s eventual desolation as prophesied throughout the book of Obadiah.
This reliance on Edom’s strength, rather than seeking Yahuah’s guidance and the protection offered through Yahusha, demonstrates a continued rejection of true security. While Yisrael, through faith and obedience, is promised restoration and a lasting peace rooted in covenant with Yahuah (Ezekiel 37:21-28), the nations surrounding her, including those who believe they offer protection through military might, will find their strategies crumble. The temporary stability maintained by force will not prevent the ultimate fulfillment of Yahuah’s plans for His chosen people. Therefore, the situation with the Strait of Hormuz serves as a poignant reminder that true security lies not in the arm of flesh, but in the unwavering faithfulness of Yahuah and the redemptive work of Yahusha, securing the ultimate restoration of Yisrael and the judgment of those who oppose His purposes.
