Hi Doves,

The past week the LORD has moved on my heart regarding Damascus.

What I am about to postulate is purely conjecture and is a possible scenario in the unfolding events in Syria.

Syrian rebels take battle to heart of Damascus

Government tanks opened fire in central Damascus for the first time in the 15-month uprising against President Bashar al-Assad this weekend, as William Hague compared the situation in Syria with “Bosnia in the 1990s”.

Western states have scrambled to respond to the disintegration of a peace plan brokered by Kofi Annan, the international envoy to Syria, that followed massacres of Sunni villagers widely attributed to members of the president’s Alawite minority. As many as 186 people, many of them women and children, were killed.

 

Those atrocities led the rebel Free Syrian Army to abandon the UN-backed ceasefire and to strike in three districts of Damascus that had hitherto escaped relatively unscathed.

Shooting and explosions could be heard across the city for more than 12 hours on Saturday night, with government tank shells struck buildings in two central districts of Damascus, forcing residents to cower in basements but failing to repulse fighters from the FSA. Such exchanges had previously only been taken in suburbs of the capital.

 

The Syrian opposition’s newly appointed leader, Abdelbasset Sayda, proclaimed that the regime was “on its last legs” amid signs that a once ragtag rebel outfit was transforming itself into a capable guerrilla force. Opposition activists declared that a turning point in the conflict had been reached, and pledged to step up their offensive in the capital.

It is my contention that, given the different forces in this conflict (Iran, Hesbollah, Free Syrian Army, rag-tag bands of militia and the vultures from Al-Qaeda and other extremist organisations) are going free-for-all for the WMD’s stored at locations in Damascus. What if in the hands of some unskilled mercenaries from the abovementioned groups, a WMD is triggered or if a person with extremely high aspirations to impress his god with the amount of lives he took in his jihad, sets off one of these devices and causes the ‘Damascus becoming a ruinous heap…’ scenario.

This seems to me to be an all too great possibility as we see the unfolding of history as foretold in the Bible.

 

Comment as the LORD guides you – as I have not seen this possibility come to light yet in articles or 5 Doves

 

Love in CHRIST JESUS
