As thousands of Syrians crossed into Turkey with tales of violence, many described troops amassing outside Jisr al-Shughur to take revenge for the deaths of 120 security and police forces.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The situation in Syria, Libya, and the rest of the Middle East will likely be chaotic until a strong leader rises up in that region that will transcend current national boundaries. No matter what the Syrian or Libyan government attempts to do to stop this, an pan-Arabic confederation is going to form which will cross current national boundaries.<\/p>\n

Those of us in the Living Church of God<\/a> believe that Bible prophecy tells of a time when the Arab nations will unite under a leader shown as the final King of the South in the Book of Daniel (e.g. Daniel 11:40). Many Muslims seem to be looking for such a leader, though they tend to use the title Caliph or Mahdi. We also believe that an Islamic confederation will take place that certain Europeans will support that will not turn out well for the Anglo-Israel descended peoples (Psalm 83)–including Syrians.<\/p>\n

What is currently happening in Syria seems to aligning with the rise the leader of a pan-Arabic confederation that all should watch for as ultimately I believe that the current regime in Syria will likely change, despite it trying not to with force.<\/p>\n

Now, the capital of Syria is Damascus (cf. Isaiah 7:8) and notice what the Bible shows will happen to it:<\/p>\n

1 An oracle concerning Damascus:
\n“See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins. 2 The cities of Aroer will be deserted and left to flocks, which will lie down,with no one to make them afraid. 3 The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,and royal power from Damascus;the remnant of Aram will be like the glory of the Israelites,” declares the LORD Almighty. (Isaiah 17:1-3)<\/p>\n

3 Thus says the Lord:
\n“For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four,
\nI will not turn away its punishment…5 I will also break the gate bar of Damascus,
\nAnd cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Aven,
\nAnd the one who holds the scepter from Beth Eden.
\nThe people of Syria shall go captive to Kir,”
\nSays the Lord. (Amos 1:3, 5)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is possible that the future King of the South may for a time be in Damascus and this may be part of why it will be destroyed or perhaps it is for shortly from now. If it is for years for now, this destruction may be related to the prophecy of the King of the North<\/a> eliminating the King of the South in Daniel 11:40-43. The government military actions currently going on in Syria will not prevent this, either way.<\/p>\n

Perhaps I should add that many fleeing Syria now may come back when the King of the South rises up (or even before)–and that will not be the right solution–only personal and national repentance is.<\/p>\n

Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

The Arab World In the Bible, History, and Prophecy<\/a> The Bible discusses the origins of the Arab world and discusses the Middle East in prophecy. What is ahead for the Middle East and those who follow Islam? What does Islam teach about the Imam Mahdi?
\nIs There A Future King of the South?<\/a> Some no longer believe there needs to be. Might Egypt, Islam, Iran, Arabs, or Ethiopia be involved? Is he the Imam Mahdi? What does the Bible say?
\nWho is the King of the North?<\/a> Is there one? Do biblical and Roman Catholic prophecies for the Great Monarch point to the same leader? Should he be followed? Who will be the King of the North discussed in Daniel 11? Is a nuclear attack prophesied to happen to the English-speaking peoples of the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand? When do the 1335 days, 1290 days, and 1260 days (the time, times, and half a time) of Daniel 12 begin? When does the Bible show that economic collapse will affect the United States?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
