[Is genocide underway in Syria? U.S., British on verge of military strikes after Assad’s WMD massacres Washington, D.C. by Joel Rosenberg] "President Obama appears to be on the verge of ordering U.S. military intervention in Syria. The British are preparing to help. The Obama administration believes there is “very little doubt” that the Assad regime used chemical weapons recently to commit massacres inside the civil war-torn country of Syria. UK Prime Minister David Cameron agrees, as does the French government.

U.S. warships are en route and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says the Pentagon is prepared for “all contingencies.”

Serious questions must be asked first.
•Is genocide underway in Syria? Over 100,000 people have been killed. Now chemical weapons have been used several times. Can the world really turn a blind eye?
•If so, how can the U.S. and the British not try to stop the use of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East, and stop what may already have become genocide, after going to war in Iraq to stop even the potential of WMD being developed and used against civilians?
•Yet if the West does take military action to hit the Assad regime, won’t that help al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood rebels trying to bring down the Assad regime and impose and even more Radical Islamic Sunni regime?
•Wouldn’t the President need Congressional authorization for military action in Syria?
•And if the West is going to use military action in Syria, what about Iran which is developing nuclear weapons?

People are also emailing and Tweeting me with these questions:
•“Are we heading towards catastrophic — even apocalyptic — events in Damascus?”
•“Is it possible we will see the fulfillment of Bible prophecies such as Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49 that foretell the utter destruction and annihilation of the city of Damascus in the End Times?”

Update: Kerry confirms chemical weapons were used in Syria. US strikes all but certain. Syria, Iran threaten to attack Israel with “strategic weapons” if West hits Assad regime. Netanyahu says Israel is ready. “Our finger…is on the trigger.”

Benghazi wasn't a red line.

He cares about the way terrorists

are now killing terrorists.

"...[N]ow the “international community” globalist elites make their decisions not on the numbers murdered, but on the weapons they use to murder. Chemical weapons are somehow worse than someone cutting off the head of someone else, or cutting their heart out and eating it! As, yes. And when hundreds of thousands of Rwandans where hacked to death by machetes, somehow that wasn’t enough to intervene in Rwanda..." Blogger: SilentReader

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...[Y]ou claim Isaiah 17:1 is still future..."

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap [Isa. 17:1].

"“It shall be a ruinous heap”—there will be those quick to point out that this has not been fulfilled, inasmuch as the present-day city of Damascus claims to be the same as the original city. As I have said before, there is a far-off fulfillment of all these prophecies and a local or contemporary fulfillment also. There are two possible explanations for the problem presented by this prophecy:

1. Historians are not always accurate in their identification of such things as the locations of ancient cities. One man wrote a profound history not long ago and then made the statement that the biggest liars in the world have been historians. In the area of present-day Damascus there happen to be many ruins of a city, and any one of these ruins could be the original Damascus.

Damascus is like a great many of the ancient cities in that when it was destroyed in one place, they did not always rebuild on the same site, but shifted it somewhat to another location. (Other cities, such as the sacred city of Jerusalem, were rebuilt on exactly the same site because of the significance of the location to the people.) We will just leave this problem to the archaeologist who hasn’t come up with the answer yet as to which of the ruins is old Damascus.

2. Damascus has withstood the ravages of war throughout history and has never ceased being a city, although it has shifted locations. It probably is the oldest city in the world. It thus far has survived every catastrophe that has come upon the earth, particularly in a land that has seen army after army march through it. But it will not survive during the Great Tribulation Period. It will be destroyed; and, as Isaiah says here, it will cease being a city. It will become a ruinous heap.

Both of these explanations show the accuracy of the prophecy that Isaiah gives here."

The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid [Isa. 17:2].

"“The cities of Aroer” is a suburban area near Damascus. This entire area would be destroyed. This probably has happened in the past, and it will happen again." McGee, J. V. (1997). Thru the Bible commentary (electronic ed., Vol. 3, p. 239). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "The Scriptures say that Damascus (Which is the capital of Syria) will come to ruin."

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "If a bunch of Muslims are busy killing each other, that necessarily means that they are not busy killing Americans. My Bible tells me that in as much as it is up to me, I should live in peace with all others. Bottom line: If they aren't coming after Americans, it is up to me to live in peace."

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: [Assad, chemical weapons] "I have yet to see irrefutable proof that he personally did. Was it him? Was it the rebels to get us on their side? Was it rogue Syrian troops? No one has definitive proof."

Syria was warned not to use chemical weapons. Did he do it? Did the other side do it to drag us into a war? I don't know; but, the world is less prosperous and secure when we are less prosperous and secure.
