Russia says rebels used chemical weapons in Syria

Russia says it will provide proof that it was the rebels that released the chemical weapons in Syria:

Russia will give the Security Council evidence implicating Syrian rebels in a chemical attack on 21 August, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said.

Syrian officials supplied the evidence, which Mr Lavrov has not yet seen.

A UN report released on Monday concluded the nerve agent sarin was used in the attack in Damascus, which the US blames on the Syrian regime.

Russia has called the report one-sided and biased. The UN has hit back, saying its findings are “indisputable”.

The UN report did not apportion blame for the attack, which sparked diplomacy that culminated in a deal for Syria to hand over its chemical arsenal by mid-2014.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-24140475

Russia has sharply criticized the new United Nations report on the August 21 gas attack in Syria, calling it “biased, incomplete, distorted and one-sided.”Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov also said Wednesday that Syria has provided new evidence revealing that rebels were the ones who carried out the deadly attack last month outside Damascus. His remarks came a day after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also questioned the U.N. report, saying there are “serious grounds to believe” the incident was a provocation carried out by the rebel side…

Syria’s deputy foreign minister said his government is confident the United Nations will not adopt the resolution under Chapter VII, which could allow the use of force if Damascus does not uphold the disarmament plan. http://www.voanews.com/content/russia-syria-provided-evidence-of-rebel-chemical-weapons-use/1751967.html

Syrian President Bashar Assad said a United Nations report finding “clear and convincing evidence” sarin nerve gas was used in Syria painted an “unrealistic” account, and he denied his government orchestrated the attack.

In an interview with Fox News Channel conducted in the Syrian capital of Damascus and aired Wednesday, Assad said terrorists were to blame for the chemical attack, which the U.S. says killed more than 1,400 people, including hundreds of children. He said evidence that terrorist groups have used sarin gas has been turned over to Russia and that Russia, through one of its satellites, has evidence that the rockets in the Aug. 21 attack were launched from another area.  http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57603589/assad-denies-his-forces-conducted-chemical-attack/

Russia has continued to back its ally Syria and hopes to turn the tide of international opinion against the opposition forces there.  This has helped the Assad regime remaining hopeful that it will continue indefinitely.

Yet more trouble is coming to Damascus as it will be destroyed (Isaiah 17:1). An Islamic confederation that will include the land of Syria is coming (Daniel 11:40-43; Ezekiel 30:1-8; Psalm 83:4-8) is coming. Eventually Syria, and others in the Middle East and North Africa, will become supporters of the future King of the South (Daniel 11:40-43) and be aligned with Egypt per Ezekiel 30:1-9.

Since the Bible suggests that Syria will support the coming final King of the South (Daniel 11:40-43; Ezekiel 30:1-8), a change in or from the Assad regime will be necessary for this to happen–and it will come to pass. Syria’s Assad will either change, break his prior public commitment to not step down or go into exile, and/or die or be killed.  Despite the current support it is getting from Russia, President Assad will not keep Syria as he has forever.
