Scripture: Proverbs 28:15-16
"Like a roaring lion and a rushing bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people. A leader who is a great oppressor lacks understanding, but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days."
Commentary:
When leaders lack justice and respond to unrest with oppression instead of understanding, entire societies can feel the consequences. Ordinary people are caught between fear and uncertainty when death tolls become disputed and voices are silenced by authority. Sometimes, outside observers try to interpret these signals, but it’s those living under these conditions who feel the tension most directly. Scripture openly describes the danger of lawless governance—unrest and crackdown are marks of the kind of instability described in biblical end-time patterns.
Prophetic Trend:
The rise of harsh repression and contested truth in Iran signals deepening instability, echoing prophetic patterns of regime crisis and lawlessness.
