The Chaos Grows Apace

The usual formula for international chaos is that chaos breeds more chaos, until the preeminent power base has had enough, and then they squash the chaos permanently. I see this pattern developing in Syria, and Iraq, today. The Communist regimes in Russia have long felt that the best way to conquer a country was to create a situation of intolerable chaos which will reach such a point of overwhelming despair that the people will welcome any force (such as Russia) that is powerful enough to end the chaos, even if they have to settle for a Soviet-style of authoritarian dictatorship. This formula works well, until it is interfered with by a more benevolent force (like the U.S., at least in the past) which is strong enough to end the chaos, and protect the people from hegemonistic dictatorships, like Russia.

Now we have reports of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dempsey, testifying before Congress that there are conditions that would necessitate American attacks (presumably aerial bombardments) against the Syrian Government forces. Our advisers are set to begin training the rebel forces that will attack the I.S.I.S. rebels, that are supposed to be attacking the Syrian forces, which hold Russia, and Iran as their allies. But Gen. Dempsey explained that any Syrian attacks on the rebels we are about to train will force American retaliation, or we simply could not recruit any rebels to train to fight I.S.I.S. As that great military strategist once said, "things are getting curiouser, and curiouser." (Alice in Wonderland).

The only problem is that our President Numbskull is apparently unwilling to commit sufficient forces to counter any Russian interference that will surely be soon forthcoming. But take heart, there is another force around that is even more benevolent than America, and much more able to squash the chaos in the Middle-East. God Almighty is merely waiting for Russia's President "Gog" (sorry, I mean Putin) to commit his forces into a Middle-East invasion that will be so powerful that only a miracle could stop them. But that's just His line of work, don't you know! So before we get too despondent over the apparent increasing chaos in Syria and Iraq, we must bare in mind that God is merely allowing the principals of the Ezekiel 38, & 39 prophecy to gather in the area before He brings about His judgment, to the tune of 83% destruction of their forces, and that's how He will get the glory, when He provides the miraculous solution to the overwhelming chaos!
