Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
Syrian government forces are continuing to use ballistic missiles against rebel forces and civilian neighborhoods suspected of housing rebels.
NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen called the latest round of attacks the “act of a desperate regime nearing collapse.”
The Syrian foreign ministry is denying they are using such weapons but the UN has observers who have seen Soviet-made SS-21 and Scud-B missiles used by government forces.
NATO forces have also detected launches of Scud missiles and have raised their alert levels in member nation Turkey.
“The fact that such missiles are used in Syria emphasizes the need for effective defense and protection of our ally Turkey,” Rasmussen told the BBC.
