Saving Syrians II. Today’s Cyrus

Bashar Al-Assadr isn’t the kind of rescuer  that Cyrus was. In fact in an opposite way, he has driven the Syrians away, while Cyrus kept the Jews in their homeland. But he could be the means of the Syrians hearing the gospel.
 The number of Syrians to have left their homeland since 2014 is staggering. There were some days when more than 10,000 Syrians went ashore on Greek lands. Also staggering is the number of Syrians who have been killed in the Civil War. And for all who choose to leave, President Assad and his government are the reasons.
 That has been a twofold development: 1)  hundreds of thousands of Syrians are  in territories where Christianity can be openly believed and taught; 2) those Syrians have reasons to be disillusioned with Islam.
The scene is set for a mighty working of God. And that is going on.
