In this episode of The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast (Ryan Johnson Ministries), we turn our attention to Venezuela—not to debate politics, stir fear, or sensationalize prophecy, but to ask a deeper biblical question: What do national crises reveal when viewed through the lens of Scripture—and what does God require of the Church when nations shake?

Ryan Johnson walks through a biblical theology of nations, explaining how God forms nations, appoints their seasons, and holds leadership accountable (Acts 17:26–27; Daniel 2:21). We explore the difference between interpreting global events through headlines vs. covenant, and why the Church must respond with discernment, prayer, righteousness, and intercession rather than outrage, speculation, or partisan captivity.

This teaching also addresses:

• God's patterns of exposure before restoration (Luke 12:2)
• Why shaking precedes alignment (Hebrews 12:26–27)
• The biblical weight of confronting oppression and the call to justice—not revenge (Isaiah 10:1–2; Romans 13:4)
• How God preserves a remnant and raises leaders in the fire (Ezekiel 22:30; Isaiah 48:10)
• The Church's assignment in times of national instability: intercede, proclaim truth, disciple under pressure, and model righteousness

If you're asking how to pray for Venezuela, how to maintain prophetic discernment without speculation, and how the global Church should respond when nations enter seasons of turmoil—this episode is for you.
