This marks the first time both Russian and Chinese leaders have simultaneously declined to attend a BRICS summit, specifically over Middle East policy differences. This unprecedented dual absence from the group's two strongest military powers, coupled with disagreements over Gaza, reveals a fracturing of the emerging world order that many thought would unite against Western influence.

📰 What Happened
The upcoming BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro faces significant challenges as Russia and China's leaders plan to skip the meeting, exposing deep internal divisions over the group's response to the Israel-Gaza conflict. The absence of key leaders and disagreements over collective action regarding Gaza have raised questions about BRICS' effectiveness as a representative of the Global South. The summit, scheduled for next week, marks an unprecedented split in the organization's unified front.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The splintering of BRICS along Israel-Gaza response lines aligns with Ezekiel 38's description of specific nation groupings in the end times. Russia's increasing isolation from even its BRICS partners while maintaining ties with Iran follows the prophetic pattern of the Gog-Magog alliance. The inability of BRICS to form a unified stance on Israel particularly echoes Daniel 11's description of the King of the South's fragmented alliances. This realignment suggests the emergence of the three distinct power blocs described in Revelation 16:12-14.
