II Timothy 3:1-4 – This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. [2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, [3] Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, [4] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Please read the following 10 Excerpts from August 23, 2013, then ask yourself: Can any event other than the 2nd Advent of Jesus Christ straighten out this political and immoral mess?

Excerpt 1 – New York Times
Obama Officials Weigh Response to Syria Assault
Mark Landler, Mark Mazzetti and Alissa J. Rubin
The day after a deadly assault in Syria that bore many of the hallmarks of a chemical weapons attack, senior officials met at the White House on Thursday to deliberate over options for the U.S. Among American officials, there was a growing belief that chemical weapons had been used in the latest attack on Wednesday east of Damascus.

Excerpt 2 – Washington Post
Among Many Egyptians, a Dramatic Shift in Favor of the Military
Mary Beth Sheridan and Abigail Hauslohner
How can a country that revolted against an autocratic regime less than three years ago now embrace strong-armed military rule? The Egyptian public’s rejection of Morsi is rooted in the wildly high hopes that ordinary Egyptians had for the Arab Spring – and their bitterness at how democracy failed to deliver jobs or social justice.
“Islam is the solution” was the Muslim Brotherhood’s pledge. “But this didn’t happen. There was only more injustice,” said cabdriver Mohammed Abdul Qadir, 43, whose life only got worse as the already weak economy sputtered. There were gasoline shortages. Food prices climbed. Crime rose as Mubarak’s police force melted away. And there were constant, sometimes bloody, protests by workers and political groups. “What we have seen in the past year has made me long for Mubarak’s rule,” Abdul Qadir said. (Washington Post)
Excerpt 3 – USA Today
Ex-Egyptian President Mubarak Leaves Cairo Prison
Sarah Lynch
Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was released from prison Thursday after more than two years in detention and was headed to a military hospital because of his health, Egyptian state TV reported. (USA Today)
Excerpt 4 – Prime Minister’s Office
Netanyahu: Syria Chemical Attack Proves We Cannot Allow Dangerous Regimes to Acquire Dangerous Weapons
Prime Minister Netanyahu said Thursday: “The reported use of chemical weapons against innocent civilians is terribly disturbing. If verified, it will be a horrible addition to the roster of tragic crimes committed by the Syrian regime against the people of Syria.”
“Iran is closely watching whether and how the world responds to the atrocities committed by Iran’s client state Syria and by Iran’s proxy Hizbullah against innocent civilians in Syria. These events prove yet again that we simply cannot allow the world’s most dangerous regimes to acquire the world’s most dangerous weapons.” (Prime Minister’s Office)
Excerpt 5 – Times of Israel
Four Rockets Fired at Israel from Lebanon
Haviv Rettig Gur and Elie Leshem
Four rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel on Thursday, damaging several homes in the Acre-Nahariya area. An Israeli anti-missile battery intercepted one of the rockets. Lebanese media reported that two volleys of rockets had been fired from a Palestinian refugee camp east of the Lebanese city of Tyre. There was an attempt to fire a third volley, but the missiles fell short of the border. IDF sources said they regarded the incident as a one-off attack by a jihadist group rather than the beginning of a wider campaign. (Times of Israel)
Excerpt 6 – Israel Defense Forces
In Response to Rocket Fire, IDF Targets Terror Site in Lebanon
The Israel Air Force on Thursday night targeted a terror site between Beirut and Sidon in response to a barrage of four rockets launched at Israel. Israel will not tolerate terrorist aggression originating from Lebanese territory. (Israel Defense Forces)
Excerpt 7 – YNet News
Sunni Islamists Seen Behind Rocket Attack
Ron Ben-Yishai
The area from which the rockets were launched, near the village of Al Kalila south of Sidon, is predominately Sunni, harboring Palestinian refugee camps known for their cooperation with Lebanon’s Sunni jihadist groups. There have been at least four or five such incidents in recent years when radical jihadist Sunni groups have perpetrated terror attacks in southern Lebanon in an attempt to cause a flare-up between Hizbullah and Israel. (Ynet News)
Excerpt 8 – Times of Israel
Rocket Narrowly Misses Dozens of Holocaust Survivors
Dozens of elderly Holocaust survivors, in a facility in the Acre area, came very close to being hit by a Katyusha rocket fired into Israel from southern Lebanon on Thursday which fell a short distance from their facility, causing damage to “four or five homes” and two cars, Channel 2 TV News reported. The residents heard the warning sirens but were unable to reach bomb shelters before the rocket struck. (Times of Israel)
Excerpt 9 – Jerusalem Post
Abbas: No Progress in Peace Talks with Israel
Gil Hoffman and Khaled Abu Toameh
There has been no progress whatsoever in the first four meetings between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators since diplomatic talks restarted, PA President Mahmoud Abbas told a visiting group of Israeli Knesset members in Ramallah on Thursday. Abbas said he was not optimistic that the talks will succeed. He also said the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails was unrelated to the launching of the peace talks.
PLO Secretary-General Yasser Abed Rabbo told Voice of Palestine radio that Israel remained opposed to the presence of a U.S. official at the talks, calling the absence of a U.S. representative “problematic.” (Jerusalem Post)
Excerpt 10 – Commentary
The Palestinians Don’t Want to Be Alone with Israel
Jonathan S. Tobin
Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the PLO Executive Committee, has publicly complained about PA negotiators having to actually talk one on one with their Israeli counterparts: “The Americans from the beginning were supposed to be there. I don’t see why the Israelis don’t want the Americans there, as witnesses….These are not two-way negotiations.”
The Palestinian negotiators fear being trapped in a room with the people they are supposed to be crafting a deal with. That is because the last thing they want is to actually reach an agreement they’d have to justify to a Palestinian people that is still not ready to accept a Jewish state no matter where its borders are drawn.
