Scripture: Isaiah 59:14-15
"And justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far away; For truth has stumbled in the street, and uprightness cannot enter. Yes, truth is lacking; And he who turns aside from evil makes himself a prey. Now the LORD saw, and it was displeasing in His sight that there was no justice."

Commentary:
When people lose access to free communication and face harsh crackdowns, daily life gets fearful—every message might feel risky. Sometimes injustice looks like walls going up where there should be ordinary conversations. The prophetic pattern of increasing suppression and control is at work here, where truth itself becomes dangerous in public.

Prophetic Trend:
Growing digital and physical restrictions show a prophetic pattern of rising control and danger for those who seek truth.
