Donald Trump: Strait of Hormuz will be declared US territory following Iran's defeat

Hey Watchmen, Trump wants to plant a US flag on the Strait of Hormuz. My friends, that's not foreign policy — that's delusional and fantasy. I don't say that to be harsh, I say it because the facts on the ground never change just because a headline in Washington does. Iran has controlled that chokepoint through every administration, every sanction, every threat, and every "final defeat" that never actually came. Declaring a stretch of water 7,000 miles from American shores to be "US territory" after a war that hasn't even been won yet — that's the kind of talk that makes for a good soundbite and a very bad prophecy. The nations rage and plot vain things, but the One who sits in the heavens laughs at that kind of posturing (Psalm 2:1-4). Man draws lines on maps; Elohim draws the boundaries of the ages, and He hasn't handed that pen to Washington. Here's what I want you to see, though — this is exactly the spirit of Babel showing up again. "Let us make us a name" (Genesis 11:4). Every empire that's tried to control the trade routes and the choke points of the earth has told itself the same story — that this time, dominance is permanent. Persia thought it. Rome thought it. And every one of them crumbled the moment Elohim decided the account was closed. Iran isn't going to "cry uncle" because a headline says so, and Hormuz isn't going to fly an American flag because a president wants a win. What we're watching is the same old human pride dressed up in new geopolitics — nations grasping for control of oil and trade lanes while missing entirely that the real Kingdom being established isn't drawn on any map they control. So don't get distracted by the noise of who's "winning" the Middle East this week. Torah tells us the wars of man serve the purposes of Elohim whether man knows it or not — and He is moving the pieces toward Messiah's return, not toward anyone's territorial claim. Keep your eyes up, keep your lamps trimmed, and watch — because the real transition of power in that region isn't coming from Washington, Tehran, or anywhere else but Zion.
