Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:16-17 (NASB 1977)
"Furthermore, I have seen under the sun that in the place of justice there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness. I said to myself, "God will judge both the righteous man and the wicked man," for there is a time for every matter and for every deed."
Commentary:
Ecclesiastes faces the hard reality that courts can be twisted and righteousness punished. That is not new. A fresh sentence and the need for a hunger strike show how quickly power can tighten down on dissent, and families feel it first when phone calls replace freedom. In Scripture’s prophetic patterns, regimes often harden and silence testimony as pressure builds across nations. This story is centered in Iran, outside Israel’s covenant land, but it still signals the same global drift toward coercion over justice. Keep a clear conscience.
Prophetic Trend:
Governments are increasingly using courts and prisons to suppress dissent, reflecting a wider end-times pattern of tightening control over speech, conscience, and public witness.
