   For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

It gets worse because U.S. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter followed the Saudi announcement with a strong show of support asking our NATO allies to join a coalition to send ground troops into Syria! Ignoring Russia’s threat to declare war, the United States just upped the ante by threatening the Russians with all of NATO.

FIGHTING HAS BEGUN !!!! Turkey Shelling into Syria; Directly Attacking Syrian Arab Army and perimeter of Russian Base in Latakia

Post by U.S.Reporter - Feb 13, 2016

It appears that World War 3 is beginning right now. This morning, Turkish Artillery began shelling positions outside of Azzaz, Syria. Those positions are held by the Syrian Arab Army (legitimate, duly-elected government of Syria) and are NOT being aimed at ISIS terrorists! These are direct attacks by Turkey upon the lawful government forces of Syria.With their rebel pals falling to the legitimate government of Syria, Turkey has now begun shelling into Syria to aid their Rebel forces and ISIS Terrorists!

Sources on the ground inside Syria tell SuperStation95 that the Turks began a furious artillery barrage at about 6:00 AM eastern US time today. Turkey is attacking the Kurdish YPG .



It is unclear at this time, whether the YPG is pro-Bashar Assad and his duly elected government, but it is clear that YPG directly engaged and destroyed ISIS in past battles. So on the surface, it appears that YPG are the "good guys" and Turkey is attacking them!

It is not known if Russian air forces will engage the artillery firing into Syria because to do so would mean attacking those forces located inside Turkey. If Russia were to attack them - even though they have lawful cause to do so -- it is clear that Turkey would cry to NATO that they had been "attacked" and try to invoke Article 5 of the NATO self-defense agreement. That would require NATO to come to the defense of Turkey, thus engaging Russia directly.

One intelligence source in the US, who must remain anonymous - told SuperStation95 "This has disaster written all over it."

Valerie & Clare--

Somehow, I feel much "more" hopeful now.

Perhaps that is why I saw that Valentine's Day angel (& Jesus' cross) early "this" morning. The angel was huge...plus you could make out his wings, torso, somewhat bended legs. I saw his knees slightly bended, as well as his robe drapped over his heel(s) & soles(s) of his feet. He was absolutely beautiful!!!

Jesus' cross, I could make out the horizontal & vertical beams; that didn't include the uppermost top beam above the horizontal beam. Whenever I see movies/or miniseries like Jesus of Nazareth, for which Robert Powell as Jesus, nailed to the cross. One doesn't really see that uppermost part of the vertical beam, does one!?

Anyhoo, this makes me wonder if Jesus was giving me a sign of His "very" soon return to Rapture us (His bride(s)), by sending me that angel to observe?

What say you, Valerie & Clare???

UPDATE 3:40 PM Eastern US Time --- Turkish artillery in Hayat, Turkey is targeting Syrian Arab Army positions near #Latakia. Syria.

UPDATE 3:51 PM Eastern US Time -- Turkish Foreign Minister Davutoglu says "Syrian Kurdish militia must withdraw from area around Azaz in northern Syria." (Did you get that? The TURKISH foreign minister is telling certain people in ANOTHER COUNTRY, that they must leave their country because TURKEY says so! What balls!)

UPDATE 4:01 PM Eastern US Time -- The Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia has told CNN "Assad will leave — have no doubt about it. He will either leave by a political process or he will be removed by force." (Did you get that? The foreign minister of SAUDI ARABIA is deciding who can be the duly-elected President of ANOTHER COUNTRY, Syria!! What Balls!)

UPDATE 4:25 PM Eastern US Time -- SuperStation95 has consulted with military experts who told us "Turkey is ready to deploy some 18,000 troops with substantial artillery and air support to occupy a 30-kilometer deep territory across the border running from the city of Jarabulus westward to the city of Azaz. The operation would cover an area under ISIS control, and it would provide a direct military assistance to terrorists and facilitate establishing of a buffer zone for the vestiges of their forces in Northern Syria. It would drastically escalate the tensions with the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and the predominantly Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). However, the Turkish military is fully capable of completing the first move aimed to push the SAA and the SDF from the aforementioned area and occupy a significant part of Northern Syria.

This step will likely face a hard answer of the Russian military grouping located in the country. The Russian land and navy air-defense systems and fighter jets are fully capable to neutralize the Turkish air force which will allow the Syrian government to counter-attack the Turkish intervention forces. Thus, the anti-terrorist forces will get a chance to exercise a counter-attack which will be likely supported by the Russian Aerospace Defense Forces."



UPDATE 4:43 PM Eastern US Time -- Turkey has now opened fire with artillery against FOUR separate Geographic zones inside Syria.



UPDATE 4:50 PM Eastern US Time -- Qatar-i warplanes Have arrived with Saudi Arabia warplanes at Incirlik Airbase in Turkey -- Air Attacks upon Syria deemed "Imminent"

Former Turkish Foreign Minister Yasar Yakis has warned that Turkey may risk losing a portion of its own territory should it decide to intervene militarily in Syria amid an intensified military campaign by regime forces backed by Russia.



UPDATE: 5:57 PM Eastern US Time -- Russia is amassing military supplies in its Southern Military District - high alert



UPDATE 5:58 PM Eastern US Time -- Eyewitnesses: The Main highway from Kerch to Simferopol, Crimea is completely LOADED with huge military convoys and trucks carrying VAST amounts of heavy military hardware to the Black Sea Port at Simferopol. The road has a traffic back-up two-hundred eight kilometers long (208 KM) made up of 100% military convoys.



UPDATE 6:04 PM Eastern US Time -- BREAKING: Turkey confirms that its artillery targeted Syrian regime positions in Latakia (This is now an actual admission by the sovereign government of Turkey that it has deliberately attacked the forces of the legitimate and sovereign government of Syria. Without cause or justification, Turkey has begun a war. )

UPDATE 6:16 PM Eastern US Time -- URGENT: Turkish artillery renews attack on Syrian govt army positions in Aleppo

Tammy Thanks for sharing your vision with us, incredible. The cross could be a sign of a Major World War...!

The other day, the strangest thing happened, I had the front door wide opened because my husband was carrying in the groceries, when all of a sudden a "sparrow's feather", flew inside our house as a small breeze brushed by. I picked it up and thought it was quiet odd, as this has never happened before. Just might be another sign, that our Rapture "flight is at hand", or that the Lord is showing me, not to worry about anything because God is going to take care of us. After all the Lord looks after the sparrows needs, according to scripture, therefore, there is no doubt He will take care of us and our needs.

Syria conflict: Turkey presses on with assault on Kurds

A Turkish assault on positions claimed by Kurdish fighters in northern Syria has continued into a second day. On Saturday, Turkey began shelling the militia, which it says is linked to the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). The YPG militia, which is based in Syria, has rejected a demand by Turkey to leave areas it has seized, saying Islamists would return if it left.

Syria calls for UN action on Turkish attacks on Kurds

2 hours ago

Syria has condemned Turkish military action against Kurdish fighters in northern Syria described it as a violation of its sovereignty.
It called on the UN Security Council to take action.
Turkey carried out a second day of shelling on Sunday of Kurdish forces advancing in northern Aleppo province.

Ankara views the Kurdish militia in Syria as allied to the outlawed PKK, which has carried out a decades-long campaign for autonomy in Turkey.
But the United States and others back the Kurdish militia in Syria, the YPG, in its fight against the so-called Islamic State (IS) group.

Syria has accused Turkey of violating its sovereignty by backing "al-Qaeda-linked terrorists" in the north and has warned it has a right to respond.
"Turkish artillery shelling of Syrian territory constitutes direct support to the armed terrorist organisations," the Syrian government said in letters to the UN Secretary General and the Security Council's Chairman.

You're absolutely right on, re: God's eye being on the sparrow...so we know He's watching over us.

Here is Lynda Randle singing "His Eye Is On The Sparrow", which I think fits appropriately into our replies to each other...as well as our fellow RFTH family members too.

General: China ‘must prepare for war over North Korea’s rocket launch and nuclear tests’

War over North Korea's nuclear bomb and missile programs is a foregone conclusion and China must prepare for war says one of its Generals.

Speaking on the deterioration of the security situation after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s recent nuclear and satellite tests, Major General Wang Haiyun said in an article on Tuesday that China must “take strong counter measures” as it faced various threats.

must adjust the force deployment along northeastern borders ... and prepare militarily and diplomatically for all potential risks as soon as possible,” Wang said in the Global Times, a newspaper under the Communist Party mouthpiece People’s Daily.

Wang, a former military attaché to Russia, is a senior consultant at the China Society for International Strategy, a think tank headed by Sun Jianguo, deputy chief of Joint Staff of the Central Military Commission.

The threats Wang named – besides North Korea’s tests – included the United States’ decision to send an aircraft carrier, strategic bombers and nuclear submarines to South Korean and Japanese bases, and the deployment of an anti-ballistic missile system in South Korea.

Wang’s comments came as foreign vice-minister Zhang Yesui pledged support for a strong resolution at the UN Security Council to punish Pyongyang after its rocket launch and nuclear test. “We support a new and strong resolution,” Zhang said on Tuesday.

In the article, Wang suggested that China start planning to deal with potential cross-border nuclear pollution were the US, Japan or South Korea to strike North Korean facilities, as well as to prepare for a massive influx of refugees or guerrillas from the North.

Wang said Beijing must persuade Pyongyang against developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, and that North Korea would face a “national disaster” if war broke out.
