The Seriousness of Syria & the USA

Syria, the U.S., Isra’el & the Church Folks

So we look at the news and we hear about Syria killing its innocent citizens, including women and children.  The U.S. is very guilty of this same manslaughter, as we have killed countless millions of innocent children in the wombs of women; and spiritually killing a part of the men and women who consent to this.  Yet, we want to remove the speck in others eyes, without first dealing with the big ugly plank in our own eyes that prevents us from rightly discerning any situation.  There is no true discernment apart from the  Word of YHVH.  Period.

We the Church, the sons and daughters who have entered the covenant of salvation see this playing out over and over again – and sadly, many have not humbled themselves and asked for forgiveness because they are unwilling to face the heinousness of their sin.  YHVH will forgive our sin through Yeshua, but we must first be willing to acknowledge our sin before Him.  He will and can restore us.

¹² The Syrians before and the Philistines behind;
And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth.

For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.

¹³ For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them,
Nor do they seek the Lord of Hosts.
¹⁴ Therefore the Lord will cut off head and tail from Israel,
Palm branch and bulrush in one day.
¹⁵ The elder and honorable, he is the head;
The prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
¹⁶ For the leaders of this people cause them to err,
And those who are led by them are destroyed.
¹⁷ Therefore the Lord will have no joy in their young men,
Nor have mercy on their fatherless and widows;
For everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer,
And every mouth speaks folly.

For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.

¹⁸ For wickedness burns as the fire;
It shall devour the briers and thorns,
And kindle in the thickets of the forest;
They shall mount up like rising smoke.
¹⁹ Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts
The land is burned up,
And the people shall be as fuel for the fire;
No man shall spare his brother.
²⁰ And he shall snatch on the right hand
And be hungry;
He shall devour on the left hand
And not be satisfied;
Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm.
²¹ Manasseh shall devour Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh;
Together they shall be against Judah.

For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still. (Isaiah 9:12-21)
