Scripture: Psalm 10:17-18
"O LORD, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble; Thou wilt strengthen their heart, Thou wilt incline Thine ear to vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may cause terror no more."
Commentary:
The brutality reported by witnesses in Iran displays how unchecked power breeds deep injustice. Ordinary families are left reeling, facing both the anguish of loss and the cruelties of forced payments for loved ones’ remains. That is an evil people feel in daily life. Scripture names that God does not ignore the cries of the oppressed or the humble, even when authorities claim victory. These waves of harsh suppression echo the prophetic patterns of persistent unrest and persecution that Scripture sets before our eyes.
Prophetic Trend:
Escalating state violence against dissenters reflects prophetic patterns of oppression and resistance Scripture associates with the latter days.
