Problematic paragraph on Strait of Hormuz places strain on U.S.-Iran deal
Hey Watchmen,
The Strait of Hormuz keeps showing up in the headlines, and I've said this before — it's leverage, and it's a chokepoint the enemy of our peace loves to squeeze. Twenty percent of the world's oil moves through those narrow waters, and Iran knows it. Every time Washington and Tehran circle each other on some deal, that strait sits there like a loaded gun on the table. My friends, that's not an accident of geography — the nations rage, but Elohim sets the boundaries of the seas and the borders of the peoples, and not one drop of oil moves through Hormuz without His permission.
I've taught you before that a leader avoiding war for the sake of commerce isn't the same as a leader walking in righteousness. Trump doesn't want this fight because it's bad for business — that's a political calculation, not a covenant one. But Babylon's economy always trembled when the trade routes got threatened, and we're watching a modern version of that play out in real time. Watch how quickly the whole world panics over a hundred dollars a barrel — it shows you how thin the veil is between "normal life" and chaos. That fragility is by design, my friends; it's meant to wake us up, not just scare us.
So don't get your hope hung on any deal signed in Vienna or Washington. Put your trust in the Rock of Israel, not the tides of the Persian Gulf. Keep your eyes up, keep your lamp trimmed, and watch the Middle East the way you'd watch a storm cloud on the horizon — because Yeshua told us these very things would intensify before He splits the sky. Stay ready, stay sober, and keep watching.
