Mysterion Insights
Scripture: Proverbs 28:16
"A leader who is a great oppressor lacks understanding, But he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days."
Commentary:
Authoritarian crackdown on protest is a pattern seen repeatedly in history. It’s always jarring when numbers of deaths are reported by independent groups—ordinary families are affected in very tangible ways. The Scripture calls out the folly of leaders who rule through oppression, a reality not confined to the ancient world. Scripture points to a prophetic pattern: as unrest grows among nations, oppressive responses multiply, highlighting a moral and spiritual vacuum foretold for the last days. These events in Iran reveal that pattern plainly.
Prophetic Trend:
Widespread repression and resistance in Iran mirror the end-time patterns of state oppression and global concern portrayed in biblical prophecy.
