Bible Prophecy . . .

Damascus (Syria) Will Be Destroyed . . .

Damascus will one day be completely destroyed and left uninhabitable . . .

Syria is almost a 'city-state' with much of its population living in and around the city of Damascus. Some historians and archaeologists believe Damascus may be the oldest continually inhabited city in the world and there is no record in ancient history of it ever being fully destroyed. Syria is also the home of many Islamic terrorist groups and its army invaded and has occupied Lebanon for almost 30 years. Currently, Syria (with Iran) is supporting the Hizbollah in southern Lebanon against Israel. Syria, like the rest of Israel's Islamic neighbours hate Israel, has invaded and attacked Israel on several occasions, and has publicly called for the destruction of Israel. It is interesting to note that recently an Israeli general, on commenting on the growing threat of Syria, said the easiest thing to do to protect Israel from Syria would be to drop a nuclear bomb on Damascus . . .

Damascus, Syria will someday be completely destroyed and become a 'ruinous heap' . . .

"The Burden of Damascus.

Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap" (This prophecy has not yet been fulfilled ... but it will be fulfilled).

(Isaiah 17:1)

The Bible warns it will also be a time of trouble for Israel . . .

"And in that day (usually refers to the coming 'Apocalypse') it shall come to pass, (when God says 'it shall come to pass' it always happens.)

The glory of Jacob (Israel) shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean."

(Isaiah 17:4)

There will be a coming time of trouble unlike anything in the history of the nation coming to the land of Israel ... Jeremiah calls it the Time of Jacob's (Israel's) Trouble ... and it is hard to tell if this happens after Damascus is destroyed, or at the same time. We do know from Bible prophecies there will be a coming 3 1/2 year period of false peace in Israel brought in by a strong, powerful, and very popular world leader (also called the "Antichrist") who will someday enforce a 'peace plan' upon nation Israel just before the coming 'Apocalypse' and Armageddon ...

We are told here (and in other prophetic passages) that a faithful few in Israel will turn back to God and His Word ... and may discover, from Scripture, that Jesus-Yeshua, is the Eternal One (see Micah 5:2) and Holy One of Israel . . .

"At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One (Messiah) of Israel." (Jesus-Yeshua, the promised Messiah)

(Isaiah 17:7)

God tells us why Jacob's (Israel's) 'trouble' will come . . .

"Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy Salvation,aAnd hast not been mindful of the Rock of thy strength (the "Rock" is Messiah)

(Isaiah 17:10)

God says none of His prophecies shall fail . . .

"For I am God, and there is no other, for I am God, and there is none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient time’s things that are not yet done."

(Isaiah 46:9-10)

"Search from the book of the LORD, and read:

Not one of these (prophecies) shall fail; not one shall lack her mate.

For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them."

 (Isaiah 34:16)

"Indeed I (God) have spoken it;

I will also bring it to pass.

I have purposed it;

I will also do it.

Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness . . ."

(Isaiah 46:11-12)
