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."
Commentary:
High-level talks can pivot fast when shipping lanes and energy flows feel threatened. One closed strait can move markets in a single morning. Proverbs keeps perspective: God governs rulers’ decisions even when summits expand from trade into security bargaining. The widening agenda around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz fits a biblical end-time pattern of nations recalibrating power blocs under pressure and uncertainty. Keep your eyes open, and your confidence settled. Israel is in view of these dynamics, but the leverage is global.
Prophetic Trend:
Security risks around energy corridors are pulling major powers into broader bargaining, tightening interdependence and accelerating alliance realignments under sustained geopolitical strain.
