Summary:
The United States conducted a military operation in Venezuela on January 3, 2026, resulting in the capture of President Nicolas Maduro, according to President Donald Trump. Trump announced that U.S. officials would assume control of Venezuela temporarily to ensure a "safe, proper and judicious transition." Despite Maduro's capture, his government appears to still control the country, and Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez's whereabouts remain uncertain amid contradictory reports. Venezuelan officials and allies such as Russia, Cuba, and Iran condemned the U.S. action, while regional responses varied, with some governments supporting and others opposing the intervention.

Scripture: Proverbs 21:30-31
"There is no wisdom, no understanding, and no counsel against the Lord. The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but victory belongs to the Lord."
Commentary:
Nations may organize military operations and shift power, believing they can shape outcomes by force or alliances. On the ground, ordinary Venezuelans are left wondering who truly holds authority. Human plans are real, sometimes urgent, but ultimate control rests with God, not with leaders or militaries. The volatility among nations echoes the kinds of power struggles and shifting allegiances that Scripture warns will intensify ahead of the end of the age.

Prophetic Trend:
Intervention and unstable alliances signal ongoing upheaval among nations, mirroring biblically described patterns of unrest and contested authority.

Trump said Maduro was in custody and that American officials would take control of Venezuela. “We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” he said. “We can’t take a chance that someone else takes over Venezuela who doesn’t have the interests of Venezuelans in mind.” POTENTIAL POWER VACUUM It is unclear how T...
