Scripture: Isaiah 59:14-15
"And justice is turned back, And righteousness stands far away; For truth has stumbled in the street, And uprightness cannot enter. Yes, truth is lacking; And he who turns aside from evil makes himself a prey."
Commentary:
When social order breaks down, everyday people feel the pressure first. The eruption of violence between citizens and authorities in several Iranian provinces shows how economic distress often spills into the streets as deeper justice issues go unresolved. It’s easy to focus only on political reactions, but real human pain is rising behind these events. Scripture shows that when truth and justice disappear from public life, personal safety and trust are quickly lost. Such unrest echoes prophetic patterns the Bible describes for the last days, where disorder and confusion increase in many nations.
Prophetic Trend:
Widespread unrest in Iran demonstrates a growing trend of instability as justice and order are eroded across societies.
