I have been reading a number of books on Armenia lately as I feel the Lord has put them on my heart. I feel a burden to pray for them and reach out to their community. As mentioned in other threads, fighting has broke out between Armenia and her neighbour Azerbaijan. This could lead to a wider war in the Middle East. Armenia definitely needs our prayer as it is a Christian nation, nearly surrounded by Islamic ones, some of them overtly hostile. It’s a really, really tough neighbourhood. More importantly though, Armenia needs prayer for its spiritual condition. They have a long Christian tradition of over 1700 years and yet many are not born again and in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Prayercast is a site that I use and love. They have people praying for many different nations. The prayer for Russia always brings me to tears when I watch it. https://www.prayercast.com/armenia.html Feel free to discuss Armenia or the prayercast ministry. The war rages on. It literally is David versus Goliath. Turkey has sent over a thousand Syrian terrorists to fight against Armenia. Erdogan is also threatening Armenia and calling them the biggest threat to peace in the region. Normally, one could ignore the ravings of a madman but Erdogan is literally on the warpath. Please continue to pray for Armenia. https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/2020/october/armenia-an-unwelcome-conflict-and-a-call-to-prayer Armenia and Israel relations. Israel has sold a lot of weapons to Azerbaijan and that has hindered their relationship with Armenia. In fact, Armenia has just recalled their ambassador from their newly established embassy. (September 2019) Armenia has a good relationship with Iran. Really out of necessity. They are blockaged by and have closed borders with Turkey and Azerbaijan. They have an open border with Georgia but that would leave them very vulnerable if they only had one land connection. Armenia’s opening of an embassy in Israel did cause them friction with Iran, however. Israel, inexplicably, will not recognize the genocide of 1,500,000 Armenians by the Ottoman Empire. Not to mention the 750,000 Greek Christians that lost their lives. Things are unbelievably complicated in this region. Azerbaijan is fighting with Armenia over an area called Nagorno Karabakh. Nagorno is Russian for mountainous. Kara is Turkish for black. Bakh is Farsi for garden. Only Jesus is going to solve this Gordian knot of a problem. Lord come quickly! Wars in diverse places ..... Matthew 24:6 “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.” Truly we see this verse in action (have for the last 3 years as it has sped up) ... the disturbing part is the last part ... this can only mean all peoples that traverse the 7 years - as the bride is not appointed to wrath per the following verses in the Matthew 24 teaching. :prayer-hands: Iran does not wish for the fighting to continue. They have a significant Azeri minority who have been very vocal about this conflict. The shaky Iranian regime does not need widespread protests over this situation. The more I study this, the more complicated it gets. :wacko: When the Antichrist comes and brings "peace", he will literally be seen as a miracle worker. Lord, remember all the saints especially in Armenia! They have carried your name and been steadfast from the beginning! Show them Your mighty and glorious favor! Blessings and protection for them, tour children Father! All to Your glory! TR
