Mysterion Insights
Scripture: Proverbs 29:16
"When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall."
Commentary:
Mass protests erupt when people can no longer bear injustice and economic hardship under their leaders. Crackdowns and information blackouts feel suffocating to the average person simply seeking a way forward. Yet Scripture illustrates that where wickedness increases, it fosters even greater unrest. Iran’s turmoil fits a prophetic pattern seen in nations where oppressive rule and social instability intensify, challenging the endurance of those seeking truth.

Prophetic Trend:
Intensifying oppression and unrest in Iran reveal how lawlessness and resistance increasingly shape end-time national dynamics.
