The Hillary side is going to try to escalate the conflict with Russia and then she will attempt to link Trump with Putin. I think God has other plans.

Turkey’s Army Drives Deeper Into Syria as Latest Truce Frays - Bloomberg

"So far, Turkey’s economy has avoided major impact from the Syrian war, though the cost of hosting about 3 million refugees has strained the budget. And while Turkey has been subjected to several attacks by jihadists with connections to Syria, Erdogan -- whose popularity surged after he survived a coup attempt in July -- hasn’t paid any domestic political price as he thrust his country deeper into its neighbor’s civil war.But his course is about to get riskier, as a glance at some of the towns that lie in the path of Turkey’s advancing army shows. Erdogan said the campaign, named Operation Euphrates Shield, will extend to the Islamic State stronghold of Al-Bab, about 30 kilometers from the border."

U.S.: Airstrikes on UN convoy in Syria was carried out by Russia - Hot Air Hot Air
"It’s not hard to see what happened here. This cease fire was designed to allow relief aid to flow to areas being bombed by the Assad regime. Russia decided that aid to the enemies of the regime it is trying to prop up in Syria should not be allowed to reach its destination, so it destroyed the aid convoy. Now Russia is rather pathetically trying to avoid responsibility for a wanton war crime."

Just out of curiosity, what do you think the spiritual over tones are of Syria? Are things any worse in the Middle East politically? (Or course they are for the people - the Christians especially)

There are many overtones regarding Syria related to prophecy. Isaiah 17:1 :"Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city And will become a fallen ruin." You could almost say, this is being fulfilled as we speak. Then there is the case that the stage for Ezekiel 38-39 is being prepared and Syria is a huge part of that.

The Middle East as a whole has become more and more unstable but it has exponentially increased over the last few years due to the "Arab Spring" and the attempt to dethrone Assad.

The Peshitta might be a good starting point for evangelization. It's a good read, but as with all translations - take care in rightly dividing The Word. There are many false sects who claim Peshitta Primacy - just as there are many sects and translations of modern Bibles.
