Jeremiah 49:34-39 This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah. This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold, I will shatter Elam’s bow, the mainstay of their might. I will bring the four winds against Elam from the four corners of the heavens, and I will scatter them to all these winds. There will not be a nation to which Elam’s exiles will not go. So I will shatter Elam before their foes, before those who seek their lives. I will bring disaster upon them, even My fierce anger,” declares the LORD. “I will send out the sword after them until I finish them off. I will set My throne in Elam, and destroy its king and officials,” declares the LORD. “Yet in the last days, I will restore Elam from captivity,” declares the LORD.
Ancient Elam is modern day western Iran along the Persian Gulf.

Kharg Island, Persian Gulf
Kharg Island is a linchpin of Iran’s oil-driven economy, a strategic outpost in the Persian Gulf. Its role as an oil hub makes it both a national asset and a geopolitical flashpoint. Its infrastructure’s vulnerability to conflict and environmental strain remains a critical concern.
Kharg Island is Iran’s primary oil export hub, handling over 90% of the country’s crude oil exports. Determining exactly who buys Iran’s oil is tricky due to sanctions and opaque trade practices, but available data points to a clear picture.
Primary Buyer: China
China is by far the largest importer, purchasing around 90% of Iran’s crude oil and condensate exports, averaging 1.4–1.8 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2023 and 2024. Most of this oil is rebranded as Malaysian or Middle Eastern to evade U.S. sanctions, with ship-to-ship transfers off Malaysia and Singapore. Chinese “teapot” refineries—small, independent refiners—buy the bulk of this discounted oil, with imports hitting a record 1.8 million bpd in March 2025. -Grok, X

Genesis 9:8-17 Then God said to Noah and his sons with him, “Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you, and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth—every living thing that came out of the ark. And I establish My covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.” And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. And whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of every kind that is on the earth.” So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.”
