Verse of the Day

Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. (15) For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Commentary

Syria, Iran, Russia and China plan joint war games, Iranian news agency says 06/19/12 This looks like a prelude to the battle of Armageddon as the nations are now lining up for war. Russia will do everything it can to save Syria. This is Russia’s last foothold in the Middle East. Russia wants Syrian ports for its fleet and it has $ billions invested in Syria. Iran wants Assad in power as Syria gives it access to Israel. The stakes are now real high as Russia has already warned that the Syrian war could turn into a world war. Syria remains in a no win situation because if Assad is removed the Muslim Brotherhood will come to power. This means it will be part of the caliphate that goes to war against Israel. Syria does not survive this coming war and will cease to exist as a nation.

“Iran, Syria, Russia and China are planning the “biggest-ever wargames in the Middle East,” according to an unconfirmed report on the semi-official Iranian news site Fars News. A Syrian official denied the claims. According to the article, the four countries are preparing 90,000 troops, 400 aircraft and 1,000 tanks for the massive joint maneuvers, which are to take place along the Syrian coast within a month.”

Syrian Islamist opposition casts out Christians 06/14/12 This could be a blessing to get the Christians out of the country before it is totally destroyed by the coming war.

As the war clouds grow in the Middle East, we grow closer to the Lord Jesus. He remains the anchor to our soul as we live with the Blessed Hope, the Lord Jesus coming for His church.

May the Holy God of Israel bless and protect you.

Joel 3:16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
