Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cold (23 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a dog, a plane and a beautiful ring around the moon! Thank You, Jesus!
This headline, from yesterday’s Jewish News Syndicate, got my attention: “Several reportedly killed in alleged IAF (Israeli Air Force) strike near Damascus.”
In the article, the JNS staff reported: “An unknown number of people were killed on Thursday in an airstrike near Damascus attributed to the Israeli Air Force, per local reports. Sky News Arabia cited the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights as saying that ‘several’ Syrians working with Hezbollah terrorists were killed and five were wounded in the strike on a building in the Sayyidah Zaynab area, about six miles south of the country’s capital.
A Syrian government military source told state media agency SANA that the alleged Israeli attack also resulted in ‘material losses.’ At least 12 Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps members, including a top commander, were killed in an airstrike on Syria overnight on Monday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Tuesday.”
These attack in Syria always make me think of Isaiah 17:1 where the prophet wrote about 2,700 years ago, “Damascus is removed from being a city, and will become a fallen ruin!” Stay tuned!
Remember, Jesus told His disciples, in Matthew 24:6, Mark 13:7 and Luke 21:9 that, before and leading up to His return, “you will be hearing of wars and rumors of war.” Again, stay tuned!
All of which to say, “Jesus is coming!” And, while we will not know “the day or the hour” (Mark 13:32), I believe we will know the “season of His return,” based on the signs He gave us. Plus, He also said, in Luke 21:28: “But when ‘these things,’ that is, “the signs Jesus gave us, begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
So, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please, I beg of you, agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven! And, if you are a believer in Jesus, then simply: watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. Love, Doug (3/29/24)
