Since then, a lot of things have been said, a lot of debate in newspapers and on Tv. A lot of theories are floating around,I will list three major ones ;
1.Assad used the chemical weapons
2.Rebels used chemical weapons
3.The US led allies inserted a mercenary group to stage the attack(false flag)
I'll treat each of this theories;
ASSAD USED IT
An argument in favour of Assad is the opinion that he wouldn't have done it because of the resulting international outcry and fear of strikes from US and its allies.
Argument against that; Assad could have carried out the chemical attack assured of manipulating the media to make us believe he couldn't have done it because it couldn't have worked for him
REBELS USED IT
The rebels have been touted as a coalition of islamists whose ideologies are not in favour of America or Israel. Al-Qaeda has been a strong group among the rebels
Could the Rebels have used it?
They could have done it to incite the world against the Assad led government
Argument against it is ,they don't have the technical knowhow to stage a chemical attack
MERCENARY GROUP DID IT
We all know of the Blackwater security saga during the Iraq war, so we know Allied countries could have inserted mercenaries to stage the chemical attack so as to justify an attack against Assad led government. Internet is filled with people calling it another false flag.
From the above, we are not all agreed on a certain theory, but the important fact is that chemical weapons were used,and since chemical weapons can't launch themselves, so human beings must have launched the attack against fellow human beings knowing fully well the consequences . The video of victims including children , dead without any bloodshed, gasping brought tears to many faces. This shows the depravity of the heart of man.
The bible says in Genesis 6 vs 5
" And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually"
There's no depth men without christ wouldn't stoop to commit atrocities
The key question, the reason for writing this is ;
WHAT ARE CHRISTIANS SUPPOSED TO DO?
Pray, watch and study the bible
The bible tells us in Matthew 24 vs 6
"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet"
1. So we are to study the word of God to know the plan of God for our generation in this endtime. Daniel 9 vs 2 shows that Daniel studied the books and by that knew that Israel will spend 70 years in captivity.
2.Pray for the persecuted christians and souls dying without hearing the gospel in troubled countries. Hebrews 13 vs 2 says "Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body"
3.Watch against lukewarmness, false doctrines, false prophets
Watch your heart for out of it are the issues of life ,
Watch your eyes, ears because they are the windows into your heart
WHAT SHOULDN'T CHRISTIANS DO?
I must deliver a rebuke from God's word ,
Jude vs 8 " Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities"
also 2Peter 2vs 10 says "But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities"
It is with great displeasure that have noticed how christians on social media criticize and complain about their leaders , someone went as far calling obama a fool forgetting the word of God in Matthew 5 vs 22c "........but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire"
Christians should know we wrestle not with Obama or Valerie or Bernanke or Jonathan but against principalities and powers. now I'm not saying we shouldn't speak out against sinful, non biblical policies, but we should avoid name calling and talking against your leaders, rather pray for them and intercede.An example is the conduct of persecuted christians during Emperor Nero's reign , they refused to carry out the policies that were against God's word but ensured they obeyed Apostle Peter's warnings (spoke no evil word against dignities and rulers)
May God help us all
Note ; Right from the time Adam was evicted from the garden of Eden until now , the world has not known peace and it won't know peace until Christ's millenial reign on earth
So our prayer should be MARANATHA which means "COME LORD JESUS"
"But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost" Jude vs 20
"And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch" . mark 13 vs 37
