"Wars That No One Can Stop..."
Syria's President Assad has some warnings for us all. Remember, he is a dictator with much blood on his hands...but if he is knocked out of power...those who take over could be much worse.
BEIRUT (TheBlaze/AP) — Syria’s president warned that Europe “will pay a price” if it delivers weapons to the rebels fighting him, saying in an interview published Monday that arming them would backfire as the “terrorists” return to their countries with extremist ideologies.
Assad further warned that as the conflict spills into neighboring countries, blurring borders, it will set off a domino effect.
“Nobody can imagine how the region would look like in case of a redrawing of the map. That will be a map for uncounted wars in the Middle East and possibly elsewhere, that nobody can stop,” he said.
Assad’s comments were his first since last week’s decision by President Barack Obama to authorize weapons and ammunition shipments to Syrian rebels, after confirming that Assad’s regime used chemical weapons against them.
The European Union has also allowed a weapons embargo against Syria to expire, allowing members of the 27-nation bloc to arm the rebels. France and Britain are moving in that direction, but the German government opposes such a move.
“If the Europeans ship weapons, Europe’s backyard becomes a terrorists’ place, and Europe will pay a price for it,” Assad threatened in Arabic comments translated into German.
Chaos in Syria would result in “the direct export of terrorism to Europe,” he warned. “Terrorists will return to Europe with fighting experience and extremist ideologies.”
Seriously....If I was one of those Christians who believe that we need to make the world a better place so that Christ can return....I would be seriously depressed right now and for sure I would NOT be listening for the trumpet to sound!!
As it is, we who KNOW the Tribulation has not happened and are watching for earthquakes, wars, rumors of war, increasing violence, increasing perversion, evil called good, love of neighbor to grow cold, apostasy in the church, false religions, idolatry, rebellious children, etc... we are looking at the headlines and saying, "Wow! What an exciting time!! It is EXACTLY as Jesus and the Apostles said it would be!!"
And of course we also know that Jesus said, "When you see ALL THESE THINGS BEGIN to happen...then look up, for your redemption is near."
How exciting is that?!?! Just imagine if WE ARE THE GENERATION that have been ordained since before the foundations of the earth, to NEVER die...but to go right from life into eternal life!!
What a day that will be!!
Of course I have NO IDEA if we are that generation....but as I look at the news I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF WE ARE!!
So keep working for the Lord people!! The Master is going to come when the world is just carrying on as usual...and I'm guessing many folks who call themselves Christians will be sound asleep.
