Category: PERSECUTION OF GOD’S PEOPLE
Summary:
A dissident group, Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), reported that Iran executed 2,013 people between January 1 and December 15, 2025, more than doubling the 975 executions documented by the United Nations in 2024. This marks the highest execution rate in Iran since the 1980s, attributed to factors including economic struggles, protests, internal power conflicts, and renewed U.N. sanctions. The U.S. State Department condemned Iran's use of execution as political repression, highlighting longstanding human rights abuses such as torture and sham trials. The European Parliament called for international action, urging conditions on relations with Iran tied to halting executions and designating certain Iranian officials as terrorists.

Scripture: Psalm 94:20-21
"Can a throne of destruction be allied with Thee, One which devises mischief by decree? They band themselves together against the life of the righteous, And condemn the innocent to death."
Commentary:
When a government uses executions as a tool for control, it exposes a deep fracture in both justice and conscience. People living in Iran today see the daily consequences of these choices. The Psalmist’s question rings true in a time when decrees justify oppression, yet God sees and holds rulers to account. This pattern of state violence and persecution against dissidents echoes the cycles of end-time injustice the Bible describes, reminding us that darkness often attempts to stamp out the voices of truth.
Prophetic Trend:
The intensification of executions for political control in Iran signals mounting pressure against dissent in line with biblical themes of last-days persecution.
