The Obama administration reported on Tuesday that Russia is sending attack helicopters to Syria in order to assist Assad in shooting down more dissenters. 

Vladimir Putin has made it very clear he supports Bashar Assad's war and terrorism against the citizens of Syria.  Last October, Russia and China vetoed a UN resolution to sanction Syria and call for Assad to step down. 

Barack Obama has been quoted as saying that he would share sensitive military data about US Standard Missile-3 velocity burnout parameters, one of the top components in American homeland missile defense systems, with Russia military counterparts.  National security officials condemned the proposal, saying that doing so could compromise the effectiveness of the system by allowing Russian weapons technicians to counter the missile.  The weapons are considered some of the most effective high-speed interceptors in the US missile defense arsenal. 

Are you putting this puzzle together?  Assad is a vicious totalitarian, murderous dictator.  Putin backs Assad.  Obama embraces Putin...  Why do you suppose Obama would rub shoulders with a nation which has historically been our national enemy and a threat to the US?  A nation that has placed dictators in office, who have vehemently oppressed and killed their own citizens.  Why did Obama sign the National Security Authorization Act (the bill that gives him dictatorial powers to arrest and detain US citizens indefinitely and without a trial) on New Year's Eve?  If you haven't figured this out, take a bit more time to think on it, as you consider this...

The Bible says that a world dictator will rise in the last days (Daniel 11) and "wear down the saints" (Daniel 7:25).  A false prophet will also arise and cause everyone on earth to take a mark on their right hand, or in their forehead, and to worship the Antichrist; and all of those who do not take his mark will be beheaded, "He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads, that no man may buy or sell, except he who has the mark, the name of the beast (Antichrist), or the number of his name.  Here is wisdom.  Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred, sixty-six" Revelation 13:16-18.  "I saw thrones and judgment was given to those who sat upon them; and I saw the souls of those who were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the Word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, or received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years" Revelation 20:4. 

Once this world leader takes power, the great wrath of God will be poured out on the earth, but the Bible says that the children of God will be taken from the world before this happens, "Wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivered us from the wrath to come" 1 Thessalonians 1:10.  If you aren't saved when Jesus takes His people from the earth, the only way to be saved is to refuse the mark of the beast, and then be beheaded .  A remnant of Jews, 144,000 of the 12 tribes of Israel, will be marked by God and spared martyrdom (Revelation 7); but if you are not one of those Jews, you will have to suffer martyrdom in order to be saved.  If you haven't received Jesus as your Savior, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  Make certain you are saved before the Lord returns, and escape the great wrath of God which will fall upon the wicked of this earth.
