US Military Action Against ISIS in Iraq

It looks as if the US military will not sit on the sidelines any longer regarding ISIS in Iraq. A drone strike on a mortar position was followed up by an air strike by 4 US Navy F-18's on a stationary convoy.

Now hopefully the US will also come to the aid of hundreds of thousands of Christians left stranded without food, water, or shelter. Children are dying in the blistering heat but the fear of falling into the hands of the brutal Islamic terrorists has made these families flee into the mountains. Breit Bart Story

Pray for these families safety and that they would be comforted during this time.

WeAreN--raise awareness of Christian persecution

As things get darker and darker, and closer and closer to the end, please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Persecution is mounting in Iraq at the hands of ISIS. ISIS has even began a Nazi-like systematic labeling and elimination of Christians living in and around Mosul. Syria has seen their Christian population dwindle from 160,000 to 1,000 according to media reports. Egypt has seen a steep rise in violence toward Christians as well. 
There is currently a hash tag movement underway to help raise awareness in the media of the persecution in Iraq: #WeAren. N being an arabic symbol for the Nazarene. This symbol is being used to mark the homes of Christians--for persecution. ISIS members give Christians 4 options: convert to Islam, pay a hefty tax, flee, or face execution. 
Pray for our brothers and sisters!

Is Putin Evil?

Putin is a fascinating person with a highly questionable past. He has managed to control Russia for years now and seems bent on controlling more than just Russia. Great opinion piece on CNN. Remember, Christian prophecy scholars maintain that Russia will be aligned with certain Mid-East countries (Iran, Turkey, Libya, to name a few) and lead an invasion into Israel in the last days.

Christian Persecution, Antisemitism Rise Sharply

 

US State Department released a report that shows a very troubling rise in antisemitism and Christian persecution across the world. The report states that since the start of the 3-year civil war,  the 160,00 Syrian believers have been reduced to 1,000. Recent demands in Germany to "Gas the Jews" also make more sense in light of the report of rising antisemitism in Europe.

With recent major events in the Middle East and even world, coupled with moral decay and now growing hatred for God's chosen people and Christians, we have to understand that His return is getting very near.  

Ukrainian PM Resigns; Russia Emboldened

I believe, along with many other biblical prophecy students, that Russia will play a key role in the end days (Gog and Magog as described in Ezekiel 38). Russia is bent on gaining strength and influence in the region and world. Today the story broke that the Ukrainian Prime Minister and his cabinet have resigned due to the fact that they could no longer effectively execute their duties. Russia has recently been observed firing artillery into Ukraine, no longer leaving the fighting up to the pro-Russian rebels. 

Even after the shoot down of the Malaysian Airlines flight last week, Europe does not seem to have the gumption to step in and put an end to Russia's bullying. 

This is only going to embolden Putin in his plans to revive the dominance Russia had during the days of the Soviet Union.  Stay tuned!

Russian Moral Fortitude

Does Russia have a conscience? Where is the outrage or concern from her people after the shooting down of the Malaysian Airlines flight with Russian missiles? Do they completely buy the Russian media's claims of Ukraine being behind it? Anyone with answers please chime in!
