Scripture: Proverbs 21:1 (NASB 1977)
"The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes."

National leaders speak in hard-edged confidence, and summits often happen with cameras rolling and aides hustling nearby. God is not boxed in by great-power leverage or diplomatic theater. When the U.S. signals it can act without China’s help while still raising Iran with Xi, it fits a prophetic pattern Scripture describes: shifting alliances and rival centers of influence pressing toward confrontation.

Great-power diplomacy and coercive warnings are hardening as regional chokepoints and nuclear ambitions drive shifting alliances toward wider instability.
