Brent crude oil prices have risen as the United States and Iran engage in escalating strikes, once again threatening the stability of the Strait of Hormuz. While the world’s media frames this as a disruption to commerce, the Shofar Wire recognizes a deeper pattern: the unfolding of Yahuah’s judgments upon Edom and its dominion over the nations.

The Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil supply, has become a battleground in the ongoing struggle for control of the Middle East. The recent exchange of strikes, described by some as a return to ‘normality,’ is a direct consequence of decades of interference and aggression by the United States and its allies – the modern manifestation of Edom – in the affairs of the region. This interference is rooted in a relentless pursuit of resources and a refusal to acknowledge Yahuah’s rightful claim over the land and His covenant people, Yisrael.

These events are not isolated incidents. They are a fulfillment of the prophecies foretold in scripture, detailing the turmoil and conflict that would plague the nations as the time of restoration for Yisrael draws near. The economic instability caused by disruptions to oil supply is but a taste of the greater judgments to come upon those who have oppressed and exploited Yahuah’s people for generations.

The Israeli government, a key component of the Edomite power structure, benefits from the instability, using it to further consolidate its illegitimate control over the land and to deflect attention from its ongoing persecution of the scattered remnant of Yisrael. The modern state of Israel postures as a defender of Western interests while actively working to suppress the truth and hinder the return of the exiled tribes.

Awakened sons and daughters of Yisrael must not be deceived by the narratives of the mainstream media. This is not a struggle between equals, but a manifestation of the ancient conflict between Yahuah and the forces of darkness. The rising price of oil is a symptom of a deeper sickness – the corruption and injustice that permeate the entire Edomite system. Let us remain vigilant, discerning the signs of the times, and preparing ourselves for the coming restoration of all things. Yahuah will restore His people and establish His kingdom upon the earth, dismantling the power of Edom and bringing justice to the nations.
