Strait of Hormuz Explained: Why It Controls the World | Simple Things Surprising Histories

This documentary-style episode from Simple Things Surprising Histories covers the complete geographical and economic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, from its physical bottleneck to its immense role in international trade.

Thanks for sharing this message and Amen. The days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is" (Ephesians 5:17).These are the end time signs.



In Christ, we become the living temple of the living God! Citizens of Ephesus and Corinth may call their famous buildings 'temples. 'But those earthly buildings are empty lies, tombs made fancy only to cover up the deadness of the idols within. A temple's magnificence depends, not on its outward appearance, but on the majesty of the God within. God's very presence with us testifies to our reconciled condition. His Spirit certifies our new status: Yes, we really are royal sons! Yes, we truly inherit the kingdom of God!



This marriage to Christ gives us far more than rules. It gives us life! "There is now no condemnation" for us while we remain in Christ (Rom 8:1-4). His Spirit helps us to overcome sin (Rom 8:5-14). The result is that we enjoy complete salvation (Rom 8:15-39). Later, in Rom 10, Paul draws a contrast between Jews and Christians. Jews sincerely try to obey the Law of Moses, yet they remain unsaved. Christians know that "Christ is the end of the law," and He gives them righteousness.



The days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is" (Ephesians 5:17)

100 000 000 barrels of oil a day, 👀 and that's only 1.4 gallons per person.

Only about 20% of oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz. The United States has enough oil of its own, provided it does not sell it off. Prices are rising due to unscrupulous sellers.

Fear mongering. I saw the map. It can easily be rearranged. It's not erreplable. It is fixable. It will be expensive. But doable.
