Scripture: Proverbs 21:31 (NASB 1977)
"The horse is prepared for the day of battle, But victory belongs to the LORD."

Commentary:
Proverbs is blunt: preparation is real, but outcomes aren’t owned by generals. That fits a campaign described as long and costly, where friendly fire and misidentification can turn defenses into tragedy in seconds. People in uniform feel that uncertainty first. These developments echo prophetic patterns Scripture describes—escalation, alliance friction, and widening regional instability—without requiring us to speculate beyond what’s present.
