Big Russian fleet nears Syria. Iran to fight regime change as foreign forces pile up: "Russian, Western and Arab forces were piling up on Syrian borders Wednesday, July 25, bringing closer a war confrontation which could spur the Assad regime into making good on its threat to use chemical weapons against “external aggression.”"

Joel 3

Judgment against Enemy Nations

1 “At the time of those events,” says the Lord, “when I restore the prosperity of Judah and Jerusalem [began May 14, 1948], 2 I will gather the armies of the world into the valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will judge them for harming my people, my special possession, for scattering my people among the nations, and for dividing up my land. 3They threw dice to decide which of my people would be their slaves. They traded boys to obtain prostitutes and sold girls for enough wine to get drunk. 4 “What do you have against me, Tyre and Sidon [Lebanon and Hezb'allah] and you cities of Philistia [the Gaza Strip and Hamas]? Are you trying to take revenge on me? If you are, then watch out! I will strike swiftly and pay you back for everything you have done.
