G7 Leaders Pledge Expanded Military Aid to Ukraine as War Enters Fifth Year

At the G7 summit in France, world leaders including U.S. President Donald Trump pledged strengthened air defenses, energy support, and new sanctions against Russia as Ukraine's war enters its fifth year. The consolidation of global power blocs aligning against Russia mirrors the ancient prophetic pattern of nations gathering in great geopolitical confrontation, particularly relevant as Russia — widely identified by Bible scholars as a key player in end-times prophecy — faces increasing international isolation. Ezekiel 38 describes a future northern power leading a coalition against the nations, and the ongoing reshaping of global alliances continues to set the stage for the fulfilment of that prophecy.
