Hey everyone. In March 2026, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard sent a message to the world that they won't let a drop of oil pass through the Strait of Hormuz. In these days, Iran keeps attacking oil tankers and oil depots of various countries with flames soaring, causing countless casualties and skyrocketing oil prices. In a few more days, all of us will have to pay a war tax. Gasoline, clothing, and food prices will all increase. So here's the question: A strait only 21 miles wide. Why does it control one-fifth of the world's oil supply?
I decided to look into it one day. And I discovered something fascinating about this strait, something that really surprised me. Its name, Hormuz, comes from the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism. The Middle Persian language of the supreme god Ahura Mazda, pronounced as 'Hormoz'. In other words, the name of this strait itself is the name of a god. The Persians believed this place to be the gateway protected by the divine. What's even more chilling is I came across three ancient classics written in different centuries and languages from different continents. Surprisingly, they all point to this sea area at the same time, coincidentally predicting a war. And the list of participants in this war, corresponding to the ongoing war.
Today's video, I'm going to start from this divine gate at the Strait of Hormuz, taking you layer by layer to uncover a secret spanning thousands of years. I suggest everyone watch until the end because the ending is much crazier than you imagine. At the beginning, I'll ask a key question: Is there a secret beneath the Persian Gulf, burying more than half of the world's available oil and over 40% of natural gas?
To answer this question, we have to go back billions of years. Back then, the Persian Gulf was called the Tethys Sea. Over millions of years, sea levels rose and fell. Countless ancient marine organisms thrived and perished here. Their bodies stacked layer by layer on the seabed. Under extreme high temperature and pressure, they were slowly cooked for millions of years. It eventually became today's dark oil and natural gas. In other words, the Persian Gulf, this underwater is actually a giant tomb that buried countless ancient lives.
Today, we won't talk about geography because things are about to get weird. The earliest written records of humanity referred to this place as paradise.

Sumerians, the earliest civilization of mankind. A place they recorded on a clay tablet, called Dilmun. In the Sumerian epic Enki and Ninhursag, this place is described as: "The land of Dilmun is pure. The land of Dilmun is clean. The land of Dilmun is bright. In Dilmun, the crow has not yet cawed. The partridge has not chirped, the lion does not kill. The jackal does not snatch the lamb, there is no disease, no death, no aging. Predators do not kill, living in harmony with all beings." This is where human writings are recorded, the oldest paradise. Describing Noah and the great flood in Sumerian, he was eventually taken to Dilmun by the gods and granted eternal life.
Where is this Dilmun located? The current consensus among religious scholars is it is right under the Persian Gulf. Recorded in Genesis Chapter 2: "A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden and there it divided into four. The name of the first is the Pishon, the second river is the Gihon, the third river is the Tigris and the fourth is the Euphrates." For thousands of years, countless scholars have been debating one thing: these four rivers, nowhere to be found on maps today. There are no four rivers coming together.
But this mystery persisted until 2010. There was an archaeologist from the University of Birmingham, named Jeffrey Rose. He penned a groundbreaking paper. As he uncovered something truly terrifying, that during the last ice age, the Persian Gulf wasn't a sea at all. It was an exaggerated fertile plains, equivalent in size to the whole of England. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers, along with two other ancient rivers, all converge perfectly on this plain. At that time, here, there were continuous springs gushing up. So Jeffrey speculated that the Persian Gulf and the Hormuz Strait, humans lived here for over 100,000 years. About 8,000 years ago, the glaciers covering the northern hemisphere began to melt, causing a rapid rise in sea levels. The seawater from the Indian Ocean poured in through the Strait of Hormuz, completely engulfing the ancient oasis.
Just imagine, oil is produced here. The Sumerians, 5,000 years ago, called this place the paradise of the gods. And the Bible says the four rivers of Eden converge here. Geology, archaeology, and scriptures all indicate the seabed of the Persian Gulf is likely a lost prehistoric civilization, it was submerged by a great flood 10,000 years ago. While human mythology records the last moments of this land, the way it looked alive for the last time. Every liter of gasoline you pump at the gas station today, in a sense, it is all a legacy of the once Eden. And the whole world is fighting for the wreckage of this ancient paradise is at war.
Quite interesting. This ancient paradise recorded in scriptures has a door. That door of the gods is the Bosporus Strait. And history has proven, whoever touches this door will perish. So the gears of history began to turn. Next is the Empire's Curse here.
In 1507, Portuguese navigator Alfonso de Albuquerque led a fleet to capture the island of Hormuz. Portugal thus became the first in history to truly control the western empire of the Hormuz Strait. You should know that Marco Polo in his travelogue specifically documented the prosperity of the Hormuz Strait. At that time, all the merchants of the world came here by ship from India. With various spices and gemstones, pearls, silk, and ivory are all traded here. Therefore, the Strait of Hormuz has been a commercial hub since ancient times. Zheng He also visited here during his voyages to the West. Referred to in ancient texts as the Hormuz, among others, the Portuguese arrived and occupied the Strait of Hormuz. He monopolized the spice trade in the entire Indian Ocean for a full 115 years. All goods leaving the Persian Gulf had to pass through the hands of the Portuguese. So, they would tax you, right? Portugal, at that time, held everyone's economic lifeline in its grip. In essence, he was everyone, and it was very likely that everyone would become his enemies.
In 1622, Abbas the Great of the Safavid Empire in Persia joined forces with the British East India Company to launch a joint siege on the Strait of Hormuz. The Portuguese garrison was completely defeated in the battle, losing everything in an instant. They have been operating a base here for over 100 years. And this point in time is Portugal, a turning point in the loss of global maritime power. And Portugal, at the moment of losing the Strait of Hormuz, his golden age of empire came to an end. Remember this pattern because it will continue to repeat itself in history.
The closest to us is in 1980. Saddam Hussein of Iraq launched the Iran-Iraq War. The war was halfway through. Saddam came up with a ruthless move called the 'Tanker War'. He sent warplanes and missiles to attack the oil tankers coming in and out of the Persian Gulf. He wanted to cut off Iran's lifeline of oil exports. But what was the result? Iran was not strangled to death. Instead, both sides started attacking each other's oil tankers. The Persian Gulf turned into a sea of fire. At this moment, the world oil prices skyrocketed. Even the United States couldn't bear it. So on July 3, 1988, the U.S. cruiser USS Vincennes entered to provide escort. Unfortunately, it accidentally fired a missile and unintentionally hit Iran Air Flight 655. It was a civilian airliner. All 290 passengers died instantly. This incident, up to today, remains the deepest scar in the hearts of Iranians. The hatred between the United States and Iran continues to deepen. And Saddam plunged into an 8-year quagmire with over 1 million deaths. The national treasury was completely emptied. Not only did they not win the war, but also to fill the empty national treasury, he also invaded Kuwait in 1990. He planned to seize Kuwait's oil to pay off debts. As a result, Saddam faced a coalition led by the United States, Operation Desert Storm. Over 100 hours of ground combat, the Iraqi forces were completely defeated. But Saddam did not die. He clung to power for over a decade until 2003 when the US invaded again. December 30, 2006, Saddam was hanged. The sun of Iraq has been setting ever since.
February 28, 2026. The United States and Israel launched a joint airstrike against Iran, code-named Wrath of the Epic. Supreme Leader Khamenei was killed in the airstrike. Nuclear facilities were hit. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard immediately announced blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Within a few days, dozens of oil tankers were near the strait attacked by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards with at least 7 crew members dead, oil tanker traffic reduced to zero. While in these two days, Bahrain, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia's oil and natural gas systems were all attacked by Iranian missile drones. The spokesperson for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards also said, anticipating oil prices reaching $200 per barrel. "You are the root of insecurity in this region." Now, in the Arab countries around the Persian Gulf, as long as they do not oppose the United States, Iran considers them traitors, and they will be eliminated. So it seems like history is repeating itself. Three eras, the same strait, the same pattern. Portugal fought and perished. Saddam went crazy and died. Now Iran is going crazy too. So what will the result be? Will it be the United States first or Iran first? But the more practical question is, do our wallets need to play first?
But this time, there may be a detail completely different from what was said before. When Portugal closed the Strait, at that time, no one was using oil yet. But in 2026, when Iran closes it, every one of us is working for this. Hormuz Strait is blocked. Just in countries around the world are releasing strategic oil reserves now. But this reserve is only over 400 million barrels. It may only last for about 20 days. What happens after those 20 days? Will companies shut down? Income decreases while consumption rises, right? This seems to be even more serious. Never in history has there been a country you can offend the global economic body at the same time and still come out unscathed. Back when Saddam offended Iran and Kuwait, the global coalition forces came knocking. Throughout history, every blockade has led to an alliance against the blocker. In the future, the scale of this alliance may surpass our imagination, or perhaps each world has its own calculations. No alliances will be formed. It's possible that the US will withdraw after the fight.
But the question I want to ask is, this historical script, it has never changed. Doesn't Iran know the outcome of blocking the Strait of Hormuz? Why does he want to block it? Why does Iran still attack neighboring Gulf countries? There may be only one reason. Iran's thoughts are just different from ours. He probably just wants a chaotic world. And this world is the prophecy they hope for in the scriptures.
In this land of Iran, there is a religion older than Islam, Zoroastrianism, also known as the fire worship. It may be the earliest monotheistic religion in human history, influencing later Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The core belief of the Fire Worship is the god of light, Ahura Mazda, also known as Hormuz. He will definitely have a cosmic battle with the god of darkness, Angra Mainyu. This battle will take place on the doomsday of our Earth, and the battlefield will be in the heart of Persia. Everyone remember this setting because I'm about to show you something next. You decide for yourself. I will show you three scriptures written in different centuries from different languages and civilizations. They all mention the same war.
The first one is Ezekiel Chapter 38. This is crucial. Ezekiel was completed in between 593 and 571 BC, exactly 2,600 years ago. The prophet Ezekiel was a high priest during the exile in Babylon. One day, suddenly received instructions from God, saw an angel, and the angel said to him, "Son of man, turn your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshek and Tubal, and prophesy against him. This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog. I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws. Turn around, you and your troops, and come out." Everyone, pay attention! In the scripture, God says, "I will put hooks in your jaws." This means you think you have decided to attack, but in reality, it is God who is pulling you out. The final war is destined to happen.
Moving on to the next scripture. It lists the names of the alliances involved in the battle of the end times: "Persia, Cush, and Put are with them. All of them are shielded and helmeted. Gomer and all his troops, the northernmost parts and all his troops, many nations with you." The following scripture further describes the origin of the army: "You will come from your place from the far north, leading many nations with you, all riding on horses, a great horde, a mighty army. You must come up to attack my people Israel is like a thick cloud covering the ground." There is a scene in this, like a thick cloud covering the ground. Doesn't it look like countless missiles and drones attacking the sky? Many ancient names of countries are mentioned in the scriptures. Historical geographers and scholars of scriptures now have a unified idea. These strange names from over 2,600 years ago, they can correspond to the present countries. Everyone can listen and see what kind of bizarre list is this.
First, the Gog and Magog scriptures say he comes from a far northern land, and this country is Russia. Next, the first member named by God, he is Persia, which is Iran today. While Cush and Put correspond to Sudan today, Ethiopia and Libya. Gog and Magog correspond to modern-day Turkey. In the prophecy, these alliances will form an army that will attack Israel using something that will darken the skies over Israel. Now let's take a look again today at the news as of March 2026. It's a bit chilling. This Persia is Iran now playing a leading role, already at war with the United States. This one matches up. Then comes from the northern great power, Russia. He supports Iran from behind. Now Turkey has long cut off diplomatic relations with Israel. This one also matches up. While Libya and Sudan have not participated in the war, but Iran has always been providing them with financial and weapon support. So he also belongs to the camp of Iran. The most shocking thing to me is that this scripture does not mention other countries. He did not mention Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and what's quite a coincidence is that these countries not mentioned have friendly relations with Israel, such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, and so on. Now Iran is attacking them, force them to oppose Israel, oppose the United States. But how will the next act play out? We will see by then. We will see the results in the next few months. So, you have to say the Bible is still very powerful. His list from over 2,600 years ago, even if someone doesn't participate, it still matches up. It's so strange.
Next, the Book of Ezekiel. One of the most chilling things is his depiction of the outcome of this war, which is described as extremely brutal. In Chapter 38, the Lord God said, "When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my wrath will flare up from my nostrils. I have spoken in my zeal and in my blazing fury: On that day there will be a great earthquake in Israel, so that the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field, and all the creatures that move along the ground will tremble at my presence. And all the people on the ground will tremble at my presence. The mountains will crumble, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground. The entire city of Israel under attack will tremble and collapse." Then comes the final judgment: "I will punish them with plague and bloodshed; I will also send torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and sulfur to rain down on him, his army, and the people with him." What kind of plague are we looking at? Blood, fire, and sulfur, perhaps? Is this the inevitable end of war? Is Israel being attacked by these countries with missiles? Could it also be foretold in the scriptures? Will Israel be hit by a nuclear bomb in the future? No one knows for sure. But this scene looks very much like it. Everyone can see it from the Hebrew Bible. This is Israel against Iran. Does he have nuclear bombs? He is very alert. He is afraid this prophecy will come true. But once this prophecy comes true, the whole world will be doomsday.
In Ezekiel 39, a very terrifying detail is added. That is, when the war ends, Israel will ultimately win. But it will take 7 months. It takes burying the enemy's bodies and spending 7 years to burn their weapons. It's very tragic. Is this war going to turn the Middle East into a river of blood?
Next, we can talk about the second Islamic tradition, the prophecy of the Black Flag Army. There is also a prophecy in Iran, and it is the opposite of it. I've mentioned this before. In Islam, the Prophet Muhammad left a large number of holy traditions about signs of the Last Day. One of them is widely circulated among the Shia and Sunni sects. The scripture is that "a black flag will rise from Khorasan, and nothing can stop them until they plant their flag in Jerusalem." Khorasan is today, in the northeast of Iran and Afghanistan. This area is the core region of Iran. As for this black flag army, I have mentioned it before. It is in the Islamic end times to welcome the vanguard of the savior, Mahdi. In Shia faith, this Mahdi is the 12th hidden Imam. He went into hiding in 874 AD, and he is supposed to return to earth before the end of days, establishing a just rule. This time is set in the future. But some Iranians may believe that the time is now. So the question arises: What is the mission of this black flag army? He is paving the way for the Mahdi. But how is he paving the way? Is it all the way from Persia to Jerusalem to destroy Israel?
There is a remarkable description in the Hadith about this. The Prophet Muhammad said, "You will conquer Persia. You will conquer Rome." These two names, Persia and Rome, are repeatedly mentioned in Islamic eschatology. They are not just names of historical empires, but representatives of the two camps in the end of the world. This is the key. It is very likely that if Iran knowingly blocks the strait, it will backfire. But there is a deeper reason he has to seal in their belief system. This is not suicide. This is scripted. The Book of Ezekiel says Persia will inevitably join the war. Islamic tradition says the black flag of Khorasan will surely rise. This is relevant to the present, and the United States for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard fighting Israel. This war may be inevitable. This is destiny. And the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, many of them believe they are the army of the black flag. And in their belief, the more brutal the war, the sooner the Mahdi will return. And this belief, it's not a fringe statement, it's not something I guessed. It is the founding ideology of the Islamic Republic of Iran, written in the constitution. This is something everyone is interested in. I will slowly explain to everyone.
The third one is amazing. In the 30th chapter of the Quran, Surah Ar-Rum, it starts like this: "The Romans have been defeated in the nearest land. But after their defeat, they will be victorious within a few years. Everything before and after is under the control of Allah. The people of that time will rejoice." Around 615 AD, the Persian Empire took over Byzantium, which was the Eastern Roman Empire at that time, and rubbed it frantically on the ground, seizing Jerusalem and a large swath of territory. Everyone at that time thought that this Roman Empire was done for. Moreover, at that time, there were many non-Muslim Arabs who pointed at Muhammad's nose and laughed loudly. You see, you believe in God, even the Romans couldn't hold on. But what did Muhammad say? He said, "Look, the Romans will be victorious in a few years." In the 30th chapter of the Quran, the Romans chapter, it is written in there, "The Romans have been defeated, but within a few years after their defeat, they will be victorious." About ten years later, the result came out. The Byzantine Emperor really staged a counterattack like a Jedi and completely crushed the Persian Empire, regaining all the lost territories. The prophecy was fulfilled word for word.
But let me tell you all, today I bring up this piece of history not to prove how accurate this prophecy is. I just want everyone to pay attention to a single word in this scripture. It's Rome in the 7th century AD, referring to the Byzantine Empire, the eastern part of the Roman Empire. Continued. And this civilization has been inherited. Everyone, look it up online. Search for the United States Capitol. Those huge columns, domes, symmetrical structures, and the eagle. They are not modern buildings. All these elements, all are in the standard Roman temple architectural style. While the name of the United States Senate directly comes from the Roman Senate, Senatus. The political framework of separation of powers is also a reference to the Roman Republic. The founding fathers of the United States, from the very first day of the founding, openly identified themselves as the heirs of the Roman Republic. This is not a conspiracy theory. It is written in the Federalist Papers. So everyone, before watching this more than 1,400-year-old scripture, always talking about the war between Rome and Persia, is this also a prophecy? Look at what's happening now in 2026. This present-day Rome, united with the United States, Israel, then carried out airstrikes against Iran, which is ancient Persia. Rome, Israel, Persia, once again, all these scriptures have mentioned. Fate brought them back together, and another war broke out.
What will be the outcome afterwards? The Quran contains a passage stating that "everything before and after is under the control of Allah." So the outcome of this war, from the scriptures' perspective, is likely beyond human determination. The Book of Ezekiel was written in the 6th century BC in Babylon. Islamic teachings, written in the 7th century on the Arabian Peninsula. The Quran also originated in the same period, Mecca and Medina. These three scriptures, three civilizations, three centuries, different languages, different continents, simultaneously pointing to the same war. Even the participants are the same group: Rome, Israel, Persia, corresponding to the United States, Israel, and Iran. And today, the name of God, the Strait of Hormuz, because of the war between Iran and the United States, is about to be sealed. I don't know what this means, but one thing I can be sure of is that this Iranian Revolutionary Guard is definitely not an ordinary military force. They do not pledge allegiance to the Iranian president, nor to the Iranian people. They pledge allegiance to the Supreme Leader. And the source of the supreme leader's power is as the earthly representative of the hidden Imam. The ultimate legitimacy of this entire chain of command, he comes from a person who has not yet returned to Earth. Now, the supreme leader, Khamenei, has been killed in an airstrike. His son Mojtaba has succeeded him. But there are rumors that he has been seriously injured. Some even say he is already dead. And next, Israel will continue to hunt down every supreme leader elected in Iran. But for the devoted followers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, this might not be the end of the world, but rather the beginning of everything. Because the martyrdom of the leader, in their apocalyptic belief, this itself is a sign of the beginning. The Mahdi is coming.
As Ezekiel says, the outcome of this war, fire and brimstone falling from the sky. The prophecy says that after the Black Flag Army arrives in Jerusalem, something will also happen. But what is this thing? I can't say today. Because once I say it, those who have not been exposed to the ancient Hebrew Bible or friends of the Quran will surely think I'm crazy. I can only tell you, from the day it was established in 1979, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps was not created as a military force to defend the country. It was built as a military force for the apocalypse. Its constitutional mission, organizational structure, overseas proxy networks, and even its control over the entire Iranian economic empire all serve a single religious goal. What exactly is this military force? Their belief system and what drives them to act. In the secular logic that we are accustomed to, completely insane decisions, attacking everyone with fire and brimstone as prophesied in the Book of Ezekiel. What will the outcome be? What will happen after the Black Flag Army reaches Jerusalem? Stay tuned for the next episode on our channel. I will reveal the final piece of this story and tell everyone.
