Houthi leader Abdel Malik al-Houthi has threatened strikes on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities, airports, and critical infrastructure using missiles and drones, as a fragile ceasefire in place since 2022 hangs by a thread. This escalation in the Middle East — involving Iran's key proxy forces, control of vital global shipping lanes, and the destabilisation of the Arabian Peninsula — aligns with the biblical pattern of end-times regional turmoil converging around the greater Middle East. Scripture warns of wars and rumours of wars, nation rising against nation, as signs preceding the return of Christ, with the Bab al-Mandab and Strait of Hormuz disruptions echoing prophetic imagery of global commerce and conflict intersecting in the last days.
