The headline in Israel Today.com says: Reports: Syria ordered to attack Israel if Assad falls.
Embattled Syrian dictator Bashar Assad has ordered his military chiefs to launch ballistic missiles at Israel if he is killed by rebel forces, according to sources in Damascus cited by Israeli media this week.
The online newspaper Inyan Merkazi reported that Assad met with his top generals recently to express concerns that he could be taken out by advanced American missiles recently provided to rebel forces, or by a violent mob similar to the one that violently murdered former Libyan dictator Muamar Gaddafi.
For several months the UN count of Syrians killed was stuck at 40,000. But then suddenly the updated numbers released January 2, set the number at 60,000 dead. Beyond that, the estimates on the ground are even higher, surpassing 70,000. CNN quoted the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay: The 60,000, she said, “is likely to be an underestimate of the actual number of deaths.” Citing the discovery of mass graves in newly liberated government bases, Alhamadee, the activist, said: “The number I think is far greater than this, and lots of people are missing.”
To put it in perspective: 60,000 people is roughly the population of Terre Haute, Indiana; or Cheyenne, Wyoming. It’s how many people would fit in Dodger Stadium, and it’s more than the 50,000-plus U.S. combat deaths in Vietnam. CNN
I wrote about it at the beginning of the Syrian civil war in April, 2011: Damascus Destroyed – This may be the most important news story of the month. While most eyes are on Libya, the growing crisis in Syria has more direct significance to prophecy. We have seen the Psalm 83 prophecy building for several years now. It makes sense that the Isaiah 17 prophecy would be part of that war.
The burden against Damascus. “Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap”. Isaiah 17:1.
Be assured that if Assad does target Israel, Yehovah, God of Israel will have something to say about that.
“Behold, the days are coming,” says Yehovah, “that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah: In those days and at that time I will cause to grow up to David a Branch of righteousness; He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. And this is the name by which she will be called: YEHOVAH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Jeremiah 33:14:16

(As is my custom, I have taken the liberty to change the word “LORD” to Yehovah. Every single time you see LORD or GOD in all capital letters in the Old Testament, the actual Hebrew word is Yehovah. This name occurs 6,828 times in the Hebrew text, yet remains untranslated in most Bibles. His name, obscured for 2,500 years, is now being revealed. It is TIME to restore the name of Yehovah!)
