Israeli sources: Chemical weapons used in Syria
"Chemical weapons were used on civilians in Syria on Tuesday, Israel security sources confirmed. These sources did not, however, know whether it was Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime or the opposition forces fighting to topple him that used the weapons of mass destruction, after each party accused the other."
Syria attacked Lebanon the Monday, this was confirmed by Turkey.
This comes as a time when Obama is making his very first Presidential visit to Israel. The wheels are up on Air Force One and Obama will be in Israel by tomorrow. He plans to try and restart the moribund peace talks, and the scuttlebutt is that Obama will try and pressure Israel's government to accept dividing the land.
What an amazing time we live in. Isaiah 17:1 says that Damascus will be destroyed, Joel 3:2 says the Land will be divided. Psalm 83 says that a conflagration among the near neighbors of Israel (including Lebanon) will erupt in the last days. The three news pieces I quoted match these future events closely. Is the rapture even closer? I like to think every day will be THE day. One day, that will be true.
Though times are tough and life is uncertain, it is amazing to be alive now at this time to see so vividly the work of the Lord in the world. He will bring His plan to pass, and we are witnessing it right before our eyes. It gives us all the more reason to praise Him. It is all the more reason to believe.

I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. (John 13:19)
And we have something more sure, the prophetic word, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." (2 Peter 1:19-20)

It may be that neither side used them, it could be a third party as a matter of fact I personally think is is very likely. As an instructor for the U.S. Army I trained U.S. troops along with others to properly use the gear available to protect themselves and to carry out missions in these hostile environments.The use of blister or nerve agents are very horrific and will produce many casualties. It is very much like using Raid to get rid of insects instead your using it on humans. Just knowing that those weapons that were never found in Iraq and ended up in the hands of another lunatic makes me cringe. These were transported to Syria AND our military knew it.
ReplyDeleteMy heart simply aches when I think of those who have been, and will be exposed to these agents.
Hi Jeff,
DeleteMe too. In just perusing the news headlines my eye caught several horrific photos of the injured in Syria. Lord knows what I would see if I went looking for pictures of the carnage and the injured. Isaiah 17 says Damascus will be destroyed, razed to the ground...and 3 million people live there and in environs. That is so many people lost to the Gospel and entering eternity without it.
Elizabeth, I like the last part of your article on the sure prophetic Word. When I am talking to people about the Lord Jesus, some will say, "how do you know that the Bible is true?". My response has to do with the prophetic nature of the Word. It cannot be denied. No other religious book has prophecy much less prophecy that has come to pass.
ReplyDeleteWe are not blind followers but have the Word of God to light us along the way.
Maranatha!!
