The influence of numerous Islamist terrorist groups in the Syrian civil war is growing, but they, along with the first groups that initiated the uprising a year ago, are not able to “cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.” There are far too many differences between their inter-religious radical beliefs for them to bond together. It will take a strong man who is a reformer willing to give individual group a “piece of the pie” promise initially, to cause them to surrender their power to him. I don’t know how long this process will take, but much confusion and strife will occur among the victors before this leader emerges from the wolf pack.
Daniel 2:42,43 – And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
Antiochus Epiphanes IV was a prototype or parallel type of the future Antichrist who I believe will soon arise in greater Syria as the final king of the long line of Syrian kings of the north in Chapter 11 of Daniel.
Daniel 11:39 – Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
Revelation 17:12,13,17 – And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. [17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Daniel 11:36 – And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

BEGIN THE QUOTE [Close watchers of Syria say the real danger is of a prolonged and very bloody civil war and a sectarian struggle, exacerbated by the lack of a unified and credible opposition.
“I don’t think there is anybody to take over,” said George Joffe, a Middle East expert at Cambridge University. “The really big problem is that there is no credible opposition.”
“How do you bring them together, how do you get them to collaborate at this late stage because they are diametrically opposed on what should be done?” he said.] END THE QUOTE

ANTICHRIST WILL BE ABLE TO GET ISLAMIC FACTIONS TOGETHER
Daniel 7:24,25 – And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. [25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

No happy outcome in Syria as conflict turns into proxy war
(Last updated: August 01, 2012 06:50 PM)

BEIRUT: Regional powers are pouring in money and guns, jihadists are joining rebels battling to overthrow Bashar al-Assad, while his own well-armed but hard-pressed forces are fighting back ruthlessly with combat aircraft and artillery.
Gruesome scenes of slaughtered civilians or executed rebel fighters provide daily snapshots of the worsening conflict in Syria. Video apparently showing rebels gunning down Assad militiamen in cold blood suggests the insurgents are capable of brutality to match their enemies.
After almost 17 months of revolt against the Assad dictatorship, Syria’s conflict is turning into a regional proxy war between Sunni and Shiite Islam that could splinter the country along sectarian lines unless a unified rebel leadership emerges as a credible opposition to the beleaguered government.
Few observers of Syria see any sign of an opposition ready to run the country if or when Assad and his clan, whose power base lies in the esoteric Shiite sect of Syria’s Alawite minority, lose overall control.
Some fear a Lebanon-style free-for-all, in which armed groups from different sectarian and ideological backgrounds fight for supremacy over territory, turning Syria into a patchwork that condemns its state to failure.
With the Shiite Islamic Republic of Iran behind Assad, and Saudi Arabia and other Sunni Muslim states backing the rebels, Syria could become the arena in which the regional Sunni-Shiite cold war becomes an open-ended civil war with the potential to destabilise its neighbours – Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Jordan.
“We most definitely have a proxy war in Syria,” says Ayham Kamel of the Eurasia Group political risk consultancy. “At this point of the conflict it is difficult not to say that the international dimension of the Syrian conflict precedes the domestic one.”
“Syria is an open field now. The day after Assad falls you [will] have all of these different groups with different agendas, with different allegiances, with different states supporting them yet unable to form a coherent leadership.”
What started on March 15, 2011 as an internal uprising against the Assads’ repressive 40-year rule, emulating the revolts that toppled leaders in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen, has now been transformed into an arena for foreign meddling.
Kamel believes Syria is already fragmenting, and that the Free Syrian Army, the umbrella for a plethora of armed groups fighting to overthrow Assad, is little more than a franchise of Sunni Muslim groups.
“The Free Syrian army is only a slogan. There is no unity in these rebel groups,” he argues. “To have an FSA you would need a command structure, and everybody following that command structure.” Instead, he says, “There are different groups supplied financially and militarily by different states and they are quasi-independent.”
“Different regions are controlled by different groups, whether of ideological or sectarian background, and whether Bashar’s regime remains a player, we already have a lot more players than before,” Kamel says.
“I don’t discount the possibility that you (will) have different rebel groups struggling with each other for control of territory.”
Close watchers of Syria say the real danger is of a prolonged and very bloody civil war and a sectarian struggle, exacerbated by the lack of a unified and credible opposition.
“I don’t think there is anybody to take over,” said George Joffe, a Middle East expert at Cambridge University. “The really big problem is that there is no credible opposition.”
“How do you bring them together, how do you get them to collaborate at this late stage because they are diametrically opposed on what should be done?” he said.
