Friends,
I decided to wait another day or two before commented on what is going on, There is a lot to learn here. On Monday there was a bombing in Davao they are not sure if it was related to the MNLF. http://www.sunstar.com.ph/breaking-news/2013/09/17/blasts-hit-davao-city-malls-303669

The
Zamboanga standoff is now on day 10 with no definite indication when it
will end. For the ill fated residents in the strife-stricken areas in
the city, they are still caught in the middle of the continuing running
battles between government forces and the Misuari-led faction of MNLF
rebels. Yet, the clearing operation made by the military signifies that
very soon this Zamboanga seige will end.
Just as more hostages
regained their freedom, we were shocked by a breaking news at around
past 10 am yesterday reporting that armed followers of Nur Misuari
seized no less than the city’s police chief and his two police escorts
in an encounter in Barangay Mampang here on Tuesday morning. Shortly
after 6 p.m., however, Senior Supt. Jose Chiquito Malayo, the Zamboanga
City police chief, was freed under still unexplained circumstances.
Interviewed by the Inquirer, Malayo said he was not sure if he was a
negotiator or a hostage. What he was certain of,
he said, was that the(MNLF group led by Usong Uggong was trapped in a
mangrove area in Mampang who claimed they never took part in the siege
of Zamboangaand wanted to go home to Basilan. But what is important
Malayo is now back bringing 23 MNLF whom he convinced to surrender.
PRESENTLY, THANK GOD FOR THE RELEASE OF 163 ALREADY OF VERIFIED HOSTAGES!
As of today, classes are still off in all levels, government offices
are still closed, air travel is yet paralyzed, malls in downtown are
closed. Selected banks are opened, few outlets of Western Union and
MLhuillier are accessible and some pharmacies started to operate.
PRAYER REQUESTS;
Let us all specifically pray for these:
1. Zamboanga crisis will end
2. Remaining hostages from the hands of MNLF will be released
3. Clearing operation will be successful
4. Health condition of about one hundred thousand evacuees at designated evacuation center
5. The whole Zamboanga city today will be covered by God's amazing power!
COMMENT:
What is happening to Zamboanga right now is a warning and admonition
that Christ is coming soon! Let this be a moment of awakening!
The
Gospel of Matthew contains Jesus’ prophecy to His disciples about the
state of the world just prior to His Second Coming. “And you will hear
of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these
things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise
against nation, and kingdom against kingdom” (Matthew 24:6–7). While
humanity has lived with warfare over the millennia, our time in history
is unprecedented because of the massive annihilative potential of modern
weapons and the massive global scale of potential conflict. L ET US ALL
DRAW NEARER TO GOD, FIX OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM! SURRENDER OURSELVES
INTO THE PRESENCE OF OUR ALMIGHTY!
