Sweden's Defense Commission has issued a stark warning that an armed attack against Sweden or its NATO allies cannot be ruled out in the 'relatively near future,' as Russia builds new military garrisons near Finland and probes Nordic airspace. This escalating tension between nuclear-armed powers and a fracturing Western alliance mirrors the conditions Jesus described as precursors to the end times — a world of 'wars and rumours of wars' where nations rise against nations. Scripture forewarns that global instability and the alignment of major powers will intensify in the last days, pointing toward the ultimate conflict centred on Israel.
