Summary:
Venezuela’s interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, condemned the US military operation that captured President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, describing the attack as having “Zionist undertones.” Rodríguez demanded their immediate release, asserting the arrests were part of a regime change effort targeting Venezuela’s resources. Maduro and his wife appeared in a New York federal court on charges including drug trafficking and narco-terrorism, pleading not guilty. Israeli leaders praised the US operation, while Rodríguez’s remarks echoed longstanding antisemitic rhetoric previously expressed by Maduro and other Venezuelan officials.

Scripture: Psalm 2:1-3
"Why are the nations in an uproar, And the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand, And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, "Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!""
Commentary:
Geopolitical upheaval and accusations woven with antisemitism are not new phenomena, and they expose underlying tensions among nations. This episode blends high-profile arrests, leadership indictments, and old hostilities repackaged for current conflicts. It’s unsettling to see leaders default to such rhetoric, which only deepens distrust. This fits a prophetic pattern described in Scripture, where leaders maneuver for gain while resentment toward Israel and its allies rises. The remarks from Israeli officials further highlight how spiritual fault lines affect international affairs today.
Prophetic Trend:
Antisemitic rhetoric and shifting alliances signal broader unrest among nations, echoing prophetic tensions described in the Scriptures.
