Scripture: Psalm 2:1-3
"Why are the nations in an uproar, And the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand, And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!”"
Commentary:
When leaders try to silence dissent, normal people are often forced into hiding or uncertainty. This is a familiar pattern: authorities trying to crush any challenge to their power, and blaming outside influences rather than facing internal unrest. What stands out is how quickly communication can be shut down when the government feels threatened—real lives are disrupted immediately.

Authoritarian backlash and unrest in Iran highlight widespread resistance to truth and accountability, signaling a pattern consistent with prophetic warnings of global defiance.
