It’s an all-out war between Alawites and Sunni, with Christians as the bystanders.
The Christians might want to start moving towards the Golan so they can get across the border into Israel once the cleansing begins.
Actually it is Alawites and Druze vs Sunni and the Sunni are purposely killing and ethnically cleansing Christians, Alawites and Druze.
Most Syrians are bystanders. The fighting-age Alawites interviewed have generally given the impression that the war is something they hear about. There is no general mobilization probably because of the fact the rebels are outnumbered (by their own admission) by the security forces. Assad probably doesn't want to call up and pay hundreds of thousands of additional conscripts to sit around waiting to get shot at, when the threat is of the Iraq variety - bands of guerrillas waiting for targets of opportunity to claim that they have "liberated" an area before running away when government forces show up and kick their behinds. He's also fighting the rebels the American way, by throwing firepower at it instead of using throwing in waves of soldiers until the rebels quit. When Assad issues a general mobilization order, that's when we'll know he's backed into a corner.
Well, no. The Christians are/have been TARGETS of the Islamicists.
I’ve mentioned this already on another post but feel its important enough to repeat,
Isaiah Chapter 27:13
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.”
Three things are mentioned here and its within the context of ‘that day’ or the day of the Lord, its the end of the Age,
1. Believers are ready to perish in the land of Assyria
2. Outcasts from the land of Egypt
3. The great trumpet shall be blown
In prophecy, the trumpet being blown cannot be understated. I conjecture this is not a reference to one of the Seven trumpets of Revelation, or Silver trumpets from the Temple, but the Trump of God, the same one heard in Exodus 19,
Here is a a quote from from a June 2012 news story:
the Muslim Brotherhood’s Egyptian presidential candidate, Mohammed Morsi, has stated that Christians will be forced to “convert, pay tribute, or leave.”
In Egypt, Christians are essentially becoming ‘outcasts’ in their own country,
This ‘whirlwind’ of nations falling in the so-called Arab spring may allow for this kind of oppression to go on for years, but it wont be allowed to go on forever,
