On Sunday 8th December 2024, the Syrian Arab Republic under Bashar al-Assad suddenly collapsed. This was due to major offensives by the Syrian opposition as part of the Syrian civil war which began in 2011. This marked a dramatic transformation in the dynamics of the Middle East. As Syrian’s president, Bashar al-Assad, fled to Moscow, bombing raids began hitting sites across Syria as regional actors in the Middle East scrambled to defend their interests in the country.
With events moving at a dizzying pace, war planes from Israel, the US and Turkey swooped down on Syria.
Israeli attacked strategic military sites in Syria in about 250 airstrikes that destroyed over 80 percent of its military might within 48 hours. Israel’s aim was to stop Isis terrorists from possessing suspected chemical weapons sites, long-range rockets, weapons and ammunition depots in Syria. Also the US and Turkey attacked Syria in attempts to protect their own interests.
The situation in Syria is creating a clamor among international actors and who have interests in Syria.
History shows how quickly moments like this can descend into further chaos, therefore the international community have been intervening in different forms to ensure the current situation does not escalate into greater conflicts.
What is unfolding currently in the world is a clear reflection of what the Bible warned about. We are truly living at the end of the Church Age where the world would experience many upheavals and turmoil. Jesus Himself prophesied about the state of the world in the last days. In Matthew 24:7 and 8, He said, “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”
Jesus called this period in time the “beginning of sorrows” The word “sorrows” is the Greek word oodin, and it specifically describes labor pains. As we approach the end of the Church Age, the world will begin to feel increasing stress and pressure like a woman in labour.
However, we must not let the noises or clamors throw us into a state of panic.
Jesus admonished us in Matthew 24:6, “See that ye are not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.”
So don’t let negative news reports get you troubled or think there is no hope. Rather this is the time to seek God more and continually hide ourselves in His Presence through a lifestyle of intimate worship and fellowship.
God’s Presence is our greatest security in these perilous times. As long as God is with us, we will keep flourishing even in hard times and always emerge victorious and triumphant.
PRAYER ; Lord Please help me to draw closer to You and build up faith through storing up Your Word in my heart. Surely this is my season to break forth and soar to my high places in Jesus Name.
