Such mass breakdown of order and national borders reflects the lawlessness and societal upheaval Scripture warns will characterize the last days, as nations lose control amid rising distress. Jesus foretold that "because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold" (Matt 24:12), and described "distress of nations, with perplexity" as a sign of His coming (Luke 21:25).
