Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
Following the capture of former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced efforts to eliminate the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah’s operations in Venezuela. Hezbollah has maintained a presence in Venezuela since the mid-1980s, expanding after Hugo Chávez’s rise to power, with activities including infiltration of state institutions and use of areas like Margarita Island for logistical support. Experts note that Hezbollah’s networks extend throughout Latin America and involve cooperation with the Iranian regime on operations including alleged narcotics trafficking and targeting dissidents. Hezbollah condemned the U.S. action against Maduro, affirming solidarity with Venezuela, while U.S. officials emphasized coordinated counterterrorism efforts to dismantle Hezbollah and Iranian influence in the region.

Scripture: Psalm 37:12-13
"The wicked plots against the righteous, and gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord laughs at him; for He sees his day is coming."
Commentary:
International moves against entrenched militant groups often stir deep uncertainty in affected regions. Some people see the networks firsthand in daily life—it's not distant news to them. Scripture here speaks soberly: hostile plotting is both real and relentless, but the final reckoning is in the Lord’s hands, not man’s. Prophetic patterns described in the Bible suggest that ongoing clashes between hostile alliances and governing powers will continue until the appointed time, reminding believers to remain alert to the times.
Prophetic Trend:
Transnational terror networks and state alliances are increasingly brought into open conflict with Western authorities, marking intensified pressure in global end-time alignments.
