Scripture: Matthew 24:6
"And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end."
Commentary:
Regions like the Middle East experience these tensions not just in headlines, but in real disruptions, uncertainties, and altered routines for people on the ground. The movement of military personnel and advisories mark the reality of escalating threats that feel unpredictable to those living and working nearby. This pattern of anxiety and threat matches what Jesus highlighted—unrest and warnings will arise, but believers should not respond with fear.

Escalating threats and countermoves in the Middle East align with increasing unrest foretold in end-time prophecy.
