Bible In The News

To the north of the land of Israel the unrest is exploding into a very dangerous situation and a very interesting one in the light of Bible prophecy. Over two years we have watched Syria progress from civil unrest, to civil war. Now the country is in disarray with basic necessities such as the health care system collapsing, 70,000 have lost their lives and millions have fled the country. Hezbollah has come out in support of the Assad regime, potentially bringing Lebanon into the crisis. The Assad regime seems to currently have the upper hand, but has reportedly resorted to chemical weapons use. Syria was supported by the USSR for decades and has been supported by Russia since then. Now Russia has said they will send advanced missiles to the Syrians, which are a threat to Israel. Israel has said that if the missiles are delivered they will have to deal with them using force if necessary. We considered Syria on the Bible in the News last week.
