Temporary Cease Fire in Armenian Azerbaijani War

Mark Musser

The war between Armenia and Azerbaijan

Turkey continues unabated in the Nagorno-Karabak h, and even more serious than before the ceasefire more than a week ago, which the Azeris used against Armenia in devious ways (by the way, there is no such thing as an Azeri people - I am hearing they are just Turks - Lenin and Stalin made up a country out of nothing after World War I. Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, was an oil boom town - the city in which Stalin began his mad cultish career in communism that was so sadistically destructive throughout the 20th century). Thousands of dead bodies are scattered all over the battlefields now. The ceasefire was to be held in order to get the bodies. Azerbaijan did nothing to gather up their dead, which are far more than the Armenians, but they have a virtual limitless supply of soldiers they can grab off the streets. A war of attrition in this way, if it continues, will be very difficult for Armenia because it is such a poor, landlocked country. Yet they have mountainous courage in the face of long odds as their history has shown over and over again. They need both the gospel and as much help as they can possibly get right now. Please pray for Armenia, a country in great difficulty now in an area called the South Transcaucasia. The great Caucuses Mountain Range divides Russia from the Middle East. Armenia is on the southern side of the Caucasus Mountains which overlooks the entire Middle East in all directions spanning southward.

Solomon warns and teaches us, "Sorrow is better than laughter, for when a face is sad a heart may be happy (Ecclesiastes 7:3)." The only good news in the world, sorry to say, is the gospel of Christ, which is confirmed every day when you watch the news, almost all of which is bad, and then joked about in the after hours by comedians. That is the best this world can do folks, even at the presumed height of human evolutionary progress." And so the gospel brings good news in the midst of much strife, troubles, and suffering, "Bright eyes gladden the heart; Good news puts fat on the bones (Proverbs 15:30)."
