This marks the first time the expanded BRICS alliance has explicitly positioned itself as heir to the Non-Aligned Movement while simultaneously condemning Israel - creating an unprecedented coalition of Global South powers (now 11 nations) directly challenging Western diplomatic frameworks. The specific mention of both Gaza and Iran actions signals a new level of coordinated opposition.
BRICS Summit: Global South Aligns Against Israel as Powers Shift
📰 What Happened
At a BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazilian President Lula condemned what he termed Israeli 'genocide' in Gaza, where 57,418 Palestinians have been killed. The expanded 11-nation BRICS group showed division over Israel's actions, including recent bombing of Iran. Lula explicitly compared BRICS to the Cold War Non-Aligned Movement, positioning it as an alternative to Western-dominated institutions amid growing global fractures and Trump's America First approach.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The emergence of an 11-nation BRICS coalition explicitly challenging Western order aligns with Daniel's prophecies of a multi-kingdom alliance rising in opposition to traditional power structures. The specific number (11) mirrors Daniel 7:8's description of kingdoms. Lula's parallel to the Non-Aligned Movement, combined with BRICS' expansion and stance on Gaza (57,418 casualties cited), suggests we're witnessing the prophesied realignment of nations before the final conflict. The timing - 21 months into the Gaza conflict with simultaneous tension over Iran - points to the acceleration phase described in Daniel 9:26-27.
