Many sources are now saying that it is very unlikely President Bashar al Assad launched a chemical attack against his own people. Not the least of which, President Assad himself denies the attacks. In an interview on 4/13/17, after the attack, President Assad asserted that the Syrian army does not have chemical weapons and that any attack on his own people would not make any sense. He asked why people would believe he would do such a thing, especially when this was not a militarily important position.
“[I]t doesn’t make any sense for Assad under these conditions to all of a sudden use poison gasses,” says former Congressman Ron Paul. The former representative for Texas felt there was, “zero chance” of Assad being behind the chemical attacks, and that the 2013 gas attacks were never proven.
Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s Foreign Minister recently stated, “There’s growing evidence that this [attack] was staged.” The Russian government cites inconsistencies in the stories emanating from news outlets in both the U.S. and the U.K.
Isaiah 17:1 says about the Syrian capitol: "Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city and will become a fallen ruin." We know this passage speaks of the future because Damascus today is the same city as it was then, and nothing ruinous has happened to her until recently. Now, however, there are haunting pictures and videos which show the city in ruins. Only one thing still remains, that Damascus be "removed from being a city" as it says in the scriptures. -P
