Oil Surges Past $100 as Red Sea and Hormuz Strait Disrupted

Brent crude has broken $100 per barrel as Yemen's Houthis attack Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea while Iran maintains its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, with the US conducting strikes on Iran for a 12th consecutive night. The convergence of war, energy disruption, and economic instability across the ancient biblical lands of Persia, Arabia, and the broader Middle East signals the kind of geopolitical upheaval Scripture associates with the last days. Revelation 6:5-6 warns of a coming age where economic scarcity and market crisis accompany the unfolding of end-time judgements, while Isaiah 13 and Ezekiel 38 identify Iran (Persia) as a key actor in the final conflict centred on Israel.
