This marks the first time Ethiopia (ancient Cush) and Iran (Persia) have formally aligned in a major economic bloc opposing Western powers, precisely matching the geographic alliance described in Ezekiel 38. The addition of these specific nations, combined with their unified stance against Israel and the US, creates an unprecedented alignment of Daniel's kings of the South and East.

📰 What Happened
At their July 2025 Rio summit, BRICS leaders issued a declaration condemning US and Israeli strikes on Iran while advocating for Palestinian statehood. The bloc, now including Iran and Ethiopia, criticized US trade policies without directly naming Trump, who responded by threatening 10% tariffs on BRICS-aligned nations. Notably, the declaration avoided criticizing Russia's role in Ukraine while condemning Ukrainian counterattacks.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The timing of this summit - occurring after US strikes on Iran and during escalating trade tensions - represents a critical marker in the prophetic timeline. The specific composition of nations (Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt) mirrors the territorial boundaries of ancient empires mentioned in Daniel 11. Trump's immediate 10% tariff threat accelerates the economic warfare predicted in Revelation 13, while the bloc's stance on Palestinian statehood advances the division of Israel foretold in Joel 3:2. This convergence of economic, territorial, and political factors suggests we've entered the preliminary stage of the kings of the East gathering described in Revelation 16:12.
