Scripture: Ephesians 6:12 (NASB 1977)
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."

Commentary:
When cyberattacks multiply, it exposes how conflict now runs through unseen networks, not only borders. It’s exhausting. A single disrupted system can stop hospitals, banks, and daily routines in minutes. In Israel—on land God gave to Israel—this kind of pressure carries unique prophetic weight, because Scripture treats this covenant geography as a focal point of contention. The talk of AI-driven cyber war fits a broader end-time pattern of escalating “powers” shaping control and instability without needing conventional armies.

Prophetic Trend:
Digital conflict is intensifying over Israel’s covenant land, showing a prophetic pattern of rising unseen power and disruption through networks rather than traditional battlefields.
