Scripture: Proverbs 1:16-17
"For their feet run to evil, and they hasten to shed blood. Indeed, it is useless to spread the net in the eyes of any bird;"
Commentary:
This attack is another sober reminder of how violence can break out with little warning, leaving entire markets and families in shock. Real people lost loved ones, and there’s a sense of helplessness when safety vanishes so quickly. Scripture names this pattern: evil pressed forward quickly, with little care for life. Many are asking if the spread of such violence signals larger patterns described in the Bible—an increase of lawlessness before times of reckoning. The sorrow in Nigeria points to prophetic patterns of unrest among the nations.
Prophetic Trend:
Waves of lawlessness and escalating violence are increasingly marking instability across regions beyond biblical lands.
