One minute you’re drinking coffee and checking the weather. The next minute you’re seeing headlines about missiles, warships, and international alliances. You start asking questions like: Wait… who’s fighting who? Why is everyone suddenly talking about Iran? Is this going to be World War III? And why does every YouTube prophecy channel suddenly think they’re Nostradamus? Geopolitics can get confusing fast. So today we’re slowing down, thinking biblically, and asking the real question: How should Christians think when nations rage?
