The U.S. and Iran ceasefire talks have collapsed, tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continue to rise, and the threat of further conflict looms.

The Bible makes clear that history is moving towards a culmination of increasing instability, particularly surrounding Israel and its allies. Despite temporary resolutions may ease tensions but lasting peace will never be achieved through human effort, he argues.
