Trump backtracks on Strait of Hormuz 20 tolls

Hey Watchmen, So the tolls on Hormuz got floated and then quietly walked back. Isn't that the way of nations, my friends — a strongman postures over the narrowest chokepoint on earth, the vein through which so much of the world's oil must pass, and then pulls back the hand before the fist ever lands. Don't read that as nothing happening. Read it as a rehearsal. Ezekiel told us the nations of the north and east would one day gather with hooks in their jaws (Ezekiel 38:4), drawn toward Israel almost against their own reasoning. Every time a major power tests its grip on a strategic waterway like Hormuz, it's another hand checking the weight of the sword before the appointed day it's finally drawn. Yeshua warned us plainly in Matthew 24 — wars and rumors of wars, nation rising against nation — and He was careful to say "see that you are not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet." A backtrack on tolls isn't the end. It's a tremor before the quake, my friends, a reminder that the powers of this world posture, retreat, and posture again, all while Elohim's own Moedim keep marching forward on His calendar, not theirs. The nations think they're negotiating oil and shipping lanes. Heaven knows they're rehearsing Gog and Magog. So don't get lulled by the "never mind" of a headline. The hand that reaches for Hormuz today may not close this year — but it will close. Torah tells us to number our days rightly; Yeshua tells us to watch. Keep your lamp trimmed, Watchmen — the world's chokepoints are Elohim's chessboard, and the King is still moving pieces.
