Reports emanating from Mali speak of widespread clashes between the national army and various rebel factions. While the talking heads of the mainstream media focus on the immediate conflict, the Watchman discerns a deeper resonance – the shaking of nations foretold in the Scriptures. This is not merely a localized struggle for power; it is a manifestation of Yahuah’s hand moving against those who have rejected His law and embraced the ways of darkness.

Mali, like so many nations across the African continent, has been subjected to the predatory influence of external powers – the modern descendants of Edom who seek to control resources and exploit the vulnerable. The instability we witness is a direct consequence of this oppression and the spiritual decay it engenders. The so-called international community offers only temporary bandages, failing to address the root cause: a rejection of the covenant and a turning away from the Most High.

The scale and coordination of these attacks, as reported by even the secular press, are indeed unprecedented. This suggests a confluence of forces, a calculated effort to destabilize the region and further the agenda of those who profit from chaos. But Yahuah is not surprised. He sees the plots and schemes of men, and He will bring them to naught. The rebellion in Mali is a symptom of a much larger disease – the spiritual sickness that plagues the nations.

For scattered Yisrael, this serves as a stark reminder of our own exile and the consequences of disobedience. We are witnesses to the judgment unfolding before our eyes, a warning to those who remain deaf to the call of repentance. Let us not be deceived by the false promises of the world, but instead, turn our hearts to Yahuah and seek His guidance. The time is short, and the gathering storm demands that we prepare ourselves for the days to come.

The modern state of Israel, preoccupied with its own self-preservation and expansion, remains blind to the true signs of the times. They build their kingdom on sand, while the foundations of the Edomite world order crumble around them. Yisrael’s hope lies not in the political machinations of men, but in the unwavering faithfulness of Yahuah and the restoration of the covenant.
