Scripture: Proverbs 21:31 (NASB 1977)
"The horse is prepared for the day of battle,
But victory belongs to the LORD."
Commentary:
Proverbs puts a hard limit on military certainty. Leaders can plan strikes and missile timelines, but outcomes don’t stay in human hands. One day a command structure looks immovable; the next, people are suddenly scrambling for immunity and safety. That is real life. This escalation around Israel and the wider region fits the biblical pattern of shifting alliances and sudden instability among nations.
