Sliding Toward Isaiah 17

Damascus will one day be destroyed and become a ruinous heap.  We have posted many articles about how Israel has hit Iranian targets in Damascus.  We also know that the Muslims are playing with chemical weapons there.  Someday, maybe soon, Israel will be left with no choice but to destroy the places that missiles are raining down on them from.

 “The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts” (Isaiah 17:1-3). Emphasis added by me.

Damascus is said to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world.

It is also said to be a terrorist organizational headquarters for the Middle East.

It is held by most of those who diligently study God’s prophetic Word, including myself, that its fulfillment is yet future. But I believe it may be in the very near future.

Since October 07, 2023, there have been numerous reports of increased Iranian shipments of weapons and ammunition into Damascus via the Damascus and Aleppo airports, which are being used to bolster the capabilities of Hezbollah and the other militant terrorist groups that are arrayed against Israel.

The IAF (Israeli Air Force) has struck numerous locations to try and thwart this flow of arms, but, no doubt, much of it is getting through. This does not portend any good thing regarding the threat against the Israeli people in human terms.

UN Security Council Resolution 1701, passed as a result of another war against Israel in 2006, “required” a DMZ(Demilitarized Zone) between the borders between the “Blue Line ( just a demarcation point), Israel, the Golan and Lebanon north to the Litani River.

Of course, this resolution has been another worthless UN ink-on-paper drill that has never been enforced; thus, Hezbollah is once again left in a position to attack Israel along their northern border, and they have.

It is a small wonder that Pastor Daymond Duck has labeled the UN as the “United Nothing.” In one respect, it is almost a blessing that the UN accomplishes nothing since most of its resolutions are aimed at countries that they are predisposed to persecute.

Israel comes to mind.
