Scripture: Luke 21:10-11
"Then He continued by saying to them, "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.""
Commentary:
When major powers like the U.S. and Russia maneuver for control on the open sea, nobody really knows how far things could go. The world is watching closely because this isn’t just a contest between rival militaries—it’s a sign of deepening division among nations. These actions fit a pattern described in Scripture where global tensions and military confrontations show up with increasing frequency. Even though this isn’t unfolding near biblical lands, it’s a stark example of how prophecy speaks into today’s tangled world stage.
Prophetic Trend:
Escalating standoffs between global powers are matching the prophetic pattern of intensifying rivalry and unrest among nations.
