Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

Syrian troops have killed at least 19 people in shelling around Syria’s largest city of Aleppo according to activists. Most the people killed in the government assault were women and children.
One opposition activist reported the death toll from the Aleppo attack is 54.
In a surprising statement against a fellow Islamic leader, Egypt’s new President Mohammed Mursi is calling for Syrian President Bashir al-Assad to step down.
“Don’t take the right step at the wrong time,” Mursi said, “because that would be the wrong step.”
Mursi also called on regional states of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Egypt to meet to discuss the Syrian crisis. All of the countries have been hit with refugees fleeing the Syrian civil war.
The United Nations and Arab League envoy to Syria is reporting that the situation in the country is continuing to steadily deteriorate.
“The death toll is staggering,” Lakhdar Brahimi told UN General Assembly. “The destruction is reaching catastrophic proportions and the suffering of the people is immense.”
