The nations continue to dance on the precipice of judgment, blind to the hand of Yahuah moving in the earth. Recent reports indicate a sustained disruption to traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for the flow of goods and resources – and a choke point controlled by Iran. This is not merely an ‘economic issue’ as the world system frames it; it is a demonstration of power and a harbinger of the coming tribulations.

Iran has made no secret of its intent to control this strategic passage. The recent attack on a cargo vessel near Oman is not an anomaly, but a clear signal of its resolve. The so-called international community wrings its hands and speaks of ‘de-escalation,’ but Yahuah’s word remains steadfast: He will use nations as instruments of His wrath to punish those who defy Him.

The modern state of Israel, a bastion of Edomite power and rebellion, is particularly vulnerable. Its reliance on global trade and its continued defiance of covenant law make it a prime target for the disruptions to come. While the Israeli government postures and seeks alliances with the same nations steeped in wickedness, scattered Yisrael must look inward, to the covenant, and prepare spiritually.

The sixty-day negotiation window referenced by analysts is a farce. Yahuah does not negotiate with rebellion. These attempts at diplomacy are merely delaying the inevitable – a reckoning for the nations who have forsaken His law and embraced idolatry. The disruption of trade routes is but one facet of the coming economic collapse, a collapse designed to dismantle the foundations of the corrupt world system and prepare the way for the restoration of Yisrael.

Let the remnant of Yisrael heed this warning. The Strait of Hormuz is not simply a geographical location; it is a signpost marking the path to judgment. Repent, return to the covenant, and prepare for the gathering that Yahuah has promised. The time is at hand.
