Global SITREP A10-18: Syria - Part IV

Russian and Syrian airstrikes in Eastern Ghouta section of Damascus
Update 12 April 2018: This will be the final update for this SITREP. Part V of this series will soon follow. This final entry for Part IV is explosive (no pun intended) to say the least.

As of now, the timing for the highly anticipated US/Allied strike on the al-Assad regime in response its most recent chemical weapons attack is completely ambiguous. POTUS Donald J. Trump is quoted today saying the strike(s) "...could be soon or not so soon at all." 

FACT: There is no question whatsoever that the Syrian regime conducted a chemical weapons attack on Douma at 7:45 PM on the evening of 7 April. Two Mi-8 Hip choppers which had departed Dumayr Air Base at 7:15 PM, dropped multiple yellowed-colored WMD gas canisters (a/k/a 'barrel bombs') that killed more than 40 and injured more than 500 women and children. These were the exact same type and configuration of Syrian chemical warfare munitions used in the attacks on Khan al-Assal in Ausgust 2017 and at Aleppo in November and December 2016. 

Any denials of this are Russian disinformation. Period. There is also a videographic record of Russian personnel wearing military fatigues being at the specific building in Douma which was attacked during the day of 8/9 April.

Yesterday - everybody and his brother in the Middle East and beyond believed the strike(s) were in-bound and hot; enemy forces in Syria scrambled around like disturbed ants trying to get away from the what they were convinced were obvious American targets. 

Today - it's as if POTUS Trump were saying, 'let them scamble, the more they do so, the less time they have to kill more civilians and threaten Israel.Let's keep them off balance, a sense of normalcy will return, and then, boom." Let this be a lesson in the tactics of POTUS Trump. No one will out guess him; he has taken the reins of controlling the situation on the ground in Syria.

Meanwhile a great fleet of immense power made up of American and allied fighting ships are moving at top speed across the Atlantic, through the Straits of Gibraltar and eastwards across the Mediterranean Sea. The Russian naval forces that had been dockside at Tartus Naval Base have all fled the port, save for one Kilo-class submarine.  

Nevertheless, the God-breathed prophetic words of Jeremiah 49:23-27 and Isaiah 17 remain unchanged. They foretell of a day very soon to arrive in Syria that are not dependent on any external impetus or power or lack thereof. The Lord's Word abides.

10 April 2018: There's a lot of smoke, mirrors and disinformation floating around in all media avenues. All of them. And for the longest time Eschatology Today has advised, nay, warned directly, to be wary of information you cannot independently confirm one way or the other.  That's what we have going on right now. And folks ask: "What do you believe is going to happen," as if it has not been spelled out in detail here for many months now. 

So, the response is the same as it ever was because nothing in the prophetic Word of God has changed one iota. Bible prophecy - ALL OF THEM RELEVANT TO THIS POINT IN TIME - regarding Syria and the greater Middle East and the world-at-large is/are in the active process of being fulfilled before our eyes. Watch it happen; praise God that you are so priviledged to be an eyewitness to the fulfillment of His prophetic word, and then pray to our Father in Heaven and end your prayer with Marana'tha!

For clarity's sake, in Syria, many references have been made to Eastern Ghouta. This is actually one part of a region surrounding Damascus city on its eastern and southern sides. Within the eastern sector is the Douma district Just south of Douma (also Duma) in the countryside is  al-Bahariyah, a village 12 miles east of the center of Damascus City. This is where the horrendous chemical warfare attack launched by Bashar al-Assad on his own people occurred this past weekend. The result of this attack is that the U.S., U.K. and France have been moving towards a joint strike to punish Al-Assad. This strike could occur at any moment. And then things could change drastically in Syria. We shall see.

16 March 2018: Putting this forward about 6 hours early because events could overtake another update done later tomorrow. The war rhetoric is as high as Eschatology Today has ever seen it over the past three or four decades. For example, on the White House website remarks by Lt.Gen H.R. McMaster were made today at the U.S. Holocuast Museum were published. The remarks by LTG McMaster began by noting that this date is the seventh anniversay of the start of the Syrian Civil War and the 25th anniversary of the U.S. Holocaust museum. Odd combination of anniversaries at first glance, but maybe not when seen in the larger context.

Syria continues to boil on the brink of a US-Russia military clash; the entire western alliance is strongly condemning Russia for its use of Novichok WMD agents, the most deadly agents of their kind on the planet, to murder one of its former spies, Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, on British soil; hints that a similar attack in New York City is possible; the Israeli military hinting that hostilities could erupt around Gaza at any time in the next couple of weeks, and unconfirmed reports that President Trump has suddenly withdrawn the Israeli-Palestinian peace plan his administration has been pursuing for the past several months for any further consideration. It's as if an imminent war could preempt any peaceful resolution, and the powers that be will pick up the pieces that remain after the conflict has been decided or resolved on way or another.

LTG McMaster pointedly noted that Syria today is the scene of "some of the worse atrocities known to man," and went on to say how the U.S. is documenting all of the atrocities being committed by Syria and its allies (Russia, Iran and Hezbollah); how Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons threatens to undo all of the progress made since the end of the First World War regarding the use of WMD, and how Syria, Russia and Iran are all equal to blame for these atrocities. LTG McMaster then specifically stated that the United States, as well as Israel, will not allow Iran to secure a military foothold in Syria. 

Short of a U.S. Congressional declaration of war, these statements by an American three-star general are tantamount to the Trump Administration toeing the line in preparation to request Congress to so declare such a war, stating that now is the time to act before events spiral completely out of control. The only remaining question is when the action will begin. We know it will occur, Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49:23-27 are the prophetic proofs. So is Jeremiah 49:34-39.  Sounds like a flood coming.  

13 March 2018: Things have been in a sort of holding pattern, for lack of a better phrase, for the past two weeks. The US and Russia have been trading threats, especially in the UNSC, over the likelihood of US/Allied strikes against Syrian targets. US Ambassador Nikki Haley saying the US would strike if the UN fails to act in Ghouta, Damascus where the regime has been using unrestrained chemical warfare in a civilian area in an attempt to drive out rebel forces - all the while a U.N. mandated ceasefire in Ghouta has been ignored by the al-Assad regime. 

On the other-hand the Russians are threatening "serious consequences" if the strikes occur, promising "retaliatory measures" against American military forces if our strikes endanger Russian forces in Syria. The Russian response belies the fact the Syrian chemical weapons and their delivery systems are co-located where Russian forces are based in Syria. Sppecifically the Russian's are saying they will strike back if the US strikes Damascus. In effect, Russia has deliberately made their troops human shields to protect Syria's chemical weapons from American/Allied air strikes. 

These are "tomorrow's headlines" I believe, even though the Russian propaganda is as thick as molasses. Russia will accuse the U.S. of staging chemical strikes in Damascus in order to strike Syrian regime forces. Of course nothing of the sort will occur; instead the Syria government will use chemcial weapons in Ghouta and the U.S. will make good on Ambassador Nikki Haley's warning in the UN Security Council today - Syrian sites will get hit.  

We'll see what we wake up to tomorrow morning or the next day. 

2 March 2018: Continuing where we left off in SITREP A5-18 ten days ago, the massacre of approximately 400,000 civilians trapped in the Damascus suburb of eastern Ghouta continues unabated. Russian and Syrian aircraft continue pounding this urban suburb into rubble, nearly 700 innocents have been killed with several thousand wounded in the past couple of weeks. 

A humanitarian crisis here is unquestioned with zero food or medicine entering the area. This is occurring as the lame United Nations makes hollow calls for war crimes to be levied on those causing this horror (Russia and Syria). These war crimes and crimes against humanity clearly includes the use of chlorine gas chemical weapons. 

And once again, just a couple hours ago, President Trump warned both Russia and the al-Assad government directly. To Syria the U.S. President said, "the United States will not tolerate the atrocities of the Assad regime." This warning also puts Russia and Vladimir Putin on notice that the scale of U.S. punative strikes against Syria last year - or worse - will occur if an immediate cessation of hostile actions does not occur.

  1. Sean,

    All that I know to do for the relief of the victims of these crimes is to pray and intercede for all of the innocents. But surely there is much more to be done in advancing the power to call down immediate response from All Mighty God to intervene on the citizens behalf.

    I will seek, ask and pray in my Spiritual tongue and ask everyone here to definitely intercede powerfully on their behalf also.

  7. Sean,

    Just received notice that USA troops and Israeli troops will very shortly or are already in training for joint response to missile attacks on Israel. Smart me, not, I read the instant message on one of my notification sites and then promptly zipped it off into never never land. I do remember that "something(?) Cobra was mentioned in the name of the exercise and I remembered you had mentioned that name in one of the posts of recent times.

    My question, is this to be a kinda sorta type of unpublished exercise or will we be hearing more about it later?

  10. Sean,

    Didn't say a word about Hashem delivering the Final Word right on top of the war happy Russians, Syrians, and Iran + Erdogan if he doesn't get his rear back to his own territory. Have been deep digging in some old ArtScroll Tanach Series on Yechezkel and some real good material.

    I wish we could all have access to live Bible study where all the corporate anointing would be with us all. Wouldn't that be great and I can tell you, there is a lot more to all of this than we know. If Daniel has passages sealed and now unsealed, how about some of the rest of the Old Testament Prophets giving up their hidden treasures?

    Anyway, have you all in my prayers and need yours too! Having some sort of reaction to one of my meds and I am not ready to give up the Ghost just yet! But if I do, see you up on that Glory Cloud that is so fast approaching all of us.

      So we're praying for you and as always are greatful for your intercessory prayers for us, in Jesus Name always!

      We know the future, as it has been written by the ancient prophet who recieved the prophetic word in the Spirit. It is so very close to fulfillment, it's nearness virtually tangible.

      We carry on, always expecting to hear the trumpet and the call to "Come up hither!"

  14. Jeri, as I knew then!

    I wondered if that was you a long ago but withheld asking because of privacy but you so right, it has been 11 years. And we are still on a very real quest and the answers still aren't all in. I think back to those Epicenter Days and how hot under the collar I would get when God's word was being slung around, as our dear Joyce used to say. How I missed all of that deep Bible study and challenges like crazy! But I am still digging and there are mountains to climb, oceans to swim and wisdom to gain and develop into a basis to glorify our Heavenly Father.

    Great seeing your message and I do covet everyone's prayers. I want to be here visiting my brother's grave here where I live and see that grave open up and follow him quickly. I wonder what that Glorious Cloud that Jesus steps out on will be like; will it cover the whole sky-scape, or will it be only visible to all of us as we hear that Shout "COME UP HERE"? Whatever it is, I hope I am shouting all the way up and keep on shaking the Heavenly Realms as we ascend.

  15. Jmoll,

    I cherish your prayers also and today has been better and I know that God didn't bring through that first episode in 2015 so that I could vegetate here while I wait for HIS SHOUT. A big part of me wants to duke it out right here on earth with the current battles taking place and the part really longs for a warm embrace in my Savior's arms. That song, "I Can Only Imagine" just flows through me constantly and I really do hope that I will be humbly quiet and ready, loaded and aimed correctly just before we get out of here.

    Tillerson was never the right pick and I believe all of us know why. He was very willing to give up his CEO position with the oil mammoth but he couldn't quite take orders from the POTUS like he should have. Iran is not worthy of the USA's treaty and if EU takes the other side, let them and walk away from them. My prayers for the Pres. and other leaders is for God to intervene in the best laid plans of mice and men to bring about the correct men and women to serve. But most importantly, that God send His Holy Spirit Anointing in multitude measure into Donald J. Trump and let the flames of fire ignite this nation like never before experienced.

    Is everyone in agreement with that petition?

  16. Sean,

    I have a bad habit of not reading all of the comments and I thank you for your prayers, great big thanks. A new doctor took over the Mercy Group here where I live and he isn't a Cardiologist. After a Triple bypass surgery and a real struggle to get my meds under control back then, my doctor wanted to increase my blood pressure meds 3X what it has been. It sent me into a dangerous extreme low and almost had a stroke from it. Now going to my former doctor, away from Mercy Medical and feeling so much better. Still walk crazy but at least I can walk and now able to speak again. Funny thing though, I never lost my ability to reason out and also, my computer skills stuck with me.

    I owe it all to God's answered prayers and everyone here too. And JUSTIN too! Thank you for your prayers and I know that God really does hear us and is quick to come to our deliverance.

    Hubby still in denial but Abba sends His troops to the local airport here where we live on the days hubby is attending to affairs concerning airport security. Hubby has been a first rate piolet since he was a very youngman and the only thing he is truly dedicated to! At 70 years he decided to try sky diving and then choose aerobatics and thrilled all the area citizens with his skills! But I know Jim will BE SAVED before this is all over!

  22. Of course. So IF the Nork's made de-nuke promises to the US in exchange for a peace treaty & $$$, they'd still have an underground N-facility in Syria.

    Problem is, as of its discovery the Nork underground bunker complex has a very short life expectancy. Ooops.

  24. Sean,

    If it is fair to assume that NOKO has a devious mind in full operation and would it also be possible that somewhere in the close proximity to the USA's favored nation,Yechezkel's native home, there might be the existence of yet another Bunker type hidden treasure hole? (Whew that was a very long sentence). I keep remembering my ex-husband's stories about his service in Korea in the Army's Corp of Engineers and some of the surprises they encountered while attempting to construct vital depots for the troops disposals. Hezbollah sure seems mighty interested in settling right on the border of Syria and Israel when they know they are being watched Carefully!

  26. Good morning Sean, I totally agree with you we are all witnessing Bible Prophecy
    occurring in real time before our eyes!! What I don't understand, and I feel stupid
    because I've been coming here for quite a while, is why Al-Assad would gas his own people? The only thing I can come up with is that he thinks he is attacking his
    enemies,(is that the Rebels,) but unintentionally kills the Syrian people he is supposed to be leading? If you could explain some of that I would be grateful. And, yes, I already have been ending my prayers with maranatha! The love of many has surely grown cold in this evil generation!

  27. Rhonda,

    The Ba'athist Shi'a-Alawite Bashar Al-Assad uses WMD on the Sunni Arabs for the same reason the Sunni Ba'athist Saddam Hussain used WMD on the Kurds (Halabja ring a bell?) during their revolt. This is how Ba'athist dictators in the Middle East terrorize the people into submission. WMD is a terror weapon.

    This last time even the method of delivery was the same - barrel bombs filled with WMD dropped from a helicopter.

  28. Sean,
    For the last few weeks I have spoken out loud the passage from Luke 21:28 "when these things begin to come to pass then look up, your redemption draws nigh!" Now speaking out bible scripture is not the strange in my household but this particular passage has always been a promise spoken by Jesus to the Jewish followers of his and it relates to His Second Coming. But checking back to that whole passage, all the way to the 25th verse really settled something major in my heart and mind. I am not going to copy it here because every cotton picking one of us needs to read that whole passage, let it soak in and if any has any doubts they need to dig really deep into the full meaning.

    Sean has been so faithful in teaching all of us and correcting when we go off of The Way that Jesus took us and brought us all back to "what does thus saith the LORD". This is important because according to that passage I just spoke of, there are terrible times coming and we don't get stronger by reading other books or Facebook or Twitter; we become all that we can be so that GOD ALMIGHTY can and will strengthen us with his WORD which endues us with FAITH. Believe what HIS word says and put your utmost trust that HE will fulfill it jus has he said he would. We are not living in the times where we have a 'hope so' attitude but instead, we BELIEVE HIM and trust that HE will do all that he has said he will do.

    Cardiologist appointment today and he said "Wilma, you have a very strong heart and you are doing great!" I KNOW WHO did the greatness in me and I give HIM all of the praise. He is so good to me and always has been.

    A very BIG 'Amen' for your comment above! I'm thinking we are just a few hours or so away from events in and around Syria confirming His Word down to the letter.

    Jer. 49:23 where He says, "...There is trouble on the sea..." our fleet is underway.

    I also expext Russia, Syria, Iran to draw Israel into the war by attack it directly.

  30. Sean,

    Right on the EYE of God and when these outlaws do sucker in Israel, it won't be to the benefit of the Invaders of Mountains of Israel. Oh, my I have to so totally agree with you! But that HOOK is hanging over the jaws of "GOG OF Magog" but it won't be a simple one slam dunk outcome. The humbling and destruction of Syria and all who join in their violence will be the first step but not the last one. However, Putin will not take the lesson to heart and his heart will be stopped on the Mountains of Israel which most reading recognize as the West Bank because Jordan renamed it just decades ago.

    Israel isn't existing in the same arena of the past 1999 years. Germany really began it with Hitler and his murderous rampage against the Apples of God's Eye and I will say it here and hope everyone understands why! All of this political upheaval, we are now living in, are the fruit of the multitudes of decades of USA/World corruption against God Almighty's Word. We aren't in that era now and when God speaks this time it will crumble the foundations that were built on the corruption of man's attempts to profane the name of God.
    I suggest strongly that everyone reads and studies Ezekiel 36 and remember HE tells Israel that HE has other plans for the Mountains of Edom. Verses throughout this chapter really paint a true picture of the current situ now.

    Cannot type all that is going through me right now but the fire of the Holy Spirit is allowing me to type very fast and seems to be at a level never before. Avg speed has been 124 WPM but this is beyond that.
