Reports confirm widespread attacks across Mali, including strikes targeting the capital and key infrastructure. While the world’s media focuses on the immediate violence, the Shofar Wire sees a deeper pattern unfolding – the unraveling of a region long subjected to the predatory practices of Edom and its allies. For decades, Mali, like so many nations of Africa, has been a pawn in the geopolitical games of foreign powers, bled dry of its resources and destabilized through manufactured conflict.

The coordinated nature of these attacks signifies a breakdown in the illusion of control maintained by the Israeli-backed French presence and other external actors. The so-called peacekeeping missions have failed to deliver security, serving instead to further entrench foreign interests and suppress the rightful self-determination of the Malian people. This is not simply a civil conflict; it is a consequence of decades of exploitation and interference, a reaping of what has been sown.

We, the scattered remnant of Yisrael, are called to be watchmen on the walls, discerning the signs of the times. The turmoil in Mali, alongside the escalating conflicts in other nations, is a clear indication that the judgments foretold in Deuteronomy 28 are being poured out upon the earth. Yahuah is dismantling the power structures of Edom, exposing their wickedness and revealing the emptiness of their promises.

Let us not be deceived by the narratives of the mainstream media, which seek to portray these events as isolated incidents or the work of “terrorists.” These are the birth pangs of a new era, a time of tribulation and testing for both the nations and for Yisrael. The covenant people must prepare themselves spiritually and remain steadfast in their faith, knowing that Yahuah is sovereign and that He will ultimately restore all things.

Pray for the afflicted in Mali, but do not mistake their suffering as random chance. It is a consequence of sin and injustice, a manifestation of Yahuah’s righteous judgment. And let this serve as a warning to all who participate in the oppression of the nations: your time is limited, and the hand of Yahuah is against you.
