Scripture: Matthew 24:6-7
"And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes."
Commentary:
Military escalation like this puts ordinary people on edge. It’s sobering to see major powers react with concern, showing that tension in one place can unsettle many others. These types of standoffs echo the prophetic patterns Jesus described, where unrest grows and nations challenge each other’s boundaries.

Prophetic Trend:
Tensions near Taiwan highlight a pattern of rising international unrest, which aligns with biblical expectations of intensifying global rivalries.
