Damascus Has Fallen and Left in Ruins

The Fall of Damascus: Biblical Prophecy & the Aftermath of 11 Years of War | Isaiah 17 Insight

In this video, we explore the prophetic significance of Isaiah 17, which speaks of the fall of Damascus, and how it resonates with the devastation in Syria after 11 years of conflict. From the ruins of Syria's once-thriving capital to the complex involvement of international powers, this video delves into the potential fulfillment of biblical prophecy. We also examine how Israel, along with the US, Turkey, and other forces, may have indirectly fueled the rise of factions like ISIS, contributing to the destabilization of the region. Join us as we analyze the ongoing impact of the Syrian war through the lens of biblical insight.

I feel so so sad, and fearful as to what will happen to the people of Syria not only the Syrian Christians but others as well. The Christians were not persecuted by the Assad government. I followed Venessa Beeley when she was reporting from Syria in the beginning of the attacks on Syria. She posted pictures of the Christmas celebrations, the nativity sets, Assad celebrating with the Christians, now all gone😢

Damascus is NOT a ruinous heap “yet”. The suburbs are, but not Damascus itself.

*THIS IS AN ANNEX TO THIS VIDEO REPORT*

The _Age of Grace_ *began* with a spectacular “event” in Damascus (Acts 9: 1-18). Doesn’t it stand to reason that the _Age of Grace_ will also *end* with an equally spectacular “event” in Damascus, from where it all started, just prior to its destruction (Isaiah 17:1)? 

On the road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-18), Paul saw a light and was struck blind for 3 days. He was taken to Damascus where the veil was lifted from his eyes, and the age of grace began. When Damascus will be totally destroyed and cease to be a city (Isaiah 17:1), the road leading to and out of Damascus will also be destroyed and cease to exist. This will leave us no exit road out - our only exit will be up. 

This very road which led to *GRACE, WILL ALSO CEASE.* Paul knew of a time when this Age of Grace would be "complete" and "come to an end" when he stated *_“until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in”_* (Romans 11:25). This reference means that when the last member of the Body of Christ will be accounted for, this scripture will be fulfilled. 

Similarly to Paul, will not the veil over our carnal eyes be lifted, when Damascus is destroyed. Will we not meet and see our Lord spiritually in all His light and glory in the clouds?

At the end of this age of grace, it's the rapture of the Body of Christ. Is this event, (the destruction of Damascus), the trigger signaling our departure? and is this event the very first domino to fall which will topple the rest of the dominos already set in place, to usher in the tribulation and the Anti-Christ? 

We, the Body, are children of the Light (Eph.5:8, Philp.2:15, 1Thess.5:5). We are the only light that is left to illuminate the world. We will be taken out of harm’s way, snatched away, caught up, to be with our Lord. The world will no longer have light – Darkness will reign. The Anti-Christ will be introduced and Jacob’s trouble (the 7-year tribulation) will begin. 

Look up, our redemption is at hand. Our Blessed Hope is about to become reality! 

LET THE ABOVE SINK IN FOR A MOMENT 

This is a maranatha “come soon” moment.

*Also to consider* - God insisted that the story about Paul's "road-to-Damascus" experience be recounted 3 times, (in the same book no less). See Acts 9:1-18, then in Acts 22:1-18 and then again in Acts 26:1-18. 

THREE (3) is a very significant number to God. To my knowledge, Acts is the only book in the Bible that has the SAME STORY recounted 3 times within it. 

Why would the limited pages of the Bible use up so much precious real-estate in just one book? This is not happenstance. It was intentioned by God Himself, for a specific reason. 

Concerning the number 3, E.W. Bullinger so aptly notes that, ”three marks Divine completeness and perfection of testimony” 

And to reaffirm how significant the number 3 truly is, also consider the story of Peter and his 3-fold vision of unclean meats, wherein God tells him to eat thereof and his 3-fold refusal to eat as God had commanded. Remember, this whole story revolves around the “unclean gentiles, made clean”. (Acts 10 & 11). 

SPECIAL NOTE: We are told that after Peter’s refusal to eat of the “unclean” food (representing God cleansing the Gentiles, rendering them clean and acceptable), that this “unclean” food (Gentiles), laying upon *the 4 corners of the sheet* were all immediately *_taken away_* to heaven. This is reminiscent of the “Gentile” BODY of Christ being *_taken away_* (raptured) from *the 4 corners of the earth.* (Acts 10: 11 & 16)

———————————————

*Also to consider* - Methuselah was the oldest recorded person in the whole Bible. His name in Hebrew/Aramaic prophetically means _”destruction will come”_ or _”his death shall bring”_ or something to that effect. 

Damascus happens to be the oldest known inhabited city in the world. Is it possible that just as Methuselah's death was foretelling the destruction of the world in Noah’s day, that the destruction of Damascus might also be foretelling the coming destruction that God is about to bring on this present world? 

AS A SIDE NOTE: The only other cities to be completely destroyed like Damascus is Sodom & Gomorrah. They became a ruinous heap (of ashes), by fire and brimstone, just like the fire and brimstone that God will rain down in (Ezk.38:22). 

When the alliance of armies coming from the north, marching towards the south, for the spoils in the Golan Heights (oil, gas and gold), they must geographically go through Damascus. God can fulfill 2 prophecies at the same time, both the destruction of Damascus (in less than 12 hours), by fire and brimstone AND the destruction of the attacking enemy armies of Gog (in less than 12 hours), also by fire and brimstone. 

God states that _“they”_ (and the whole world) _will know that I Am God._ If fire & brimstone fall from the sky, everyone will see the hand of God. If Damascus and the attacking allied armies (Russia, Turkey, Iran) are destroyed by a nuclear bomb (as some have suggested), then the world would not have a reason to believe God Himself intervened. Think about this! 

ONLY GOD KNOWS THE END FROM THE BEGINNING. 

The start of the _Age of Grace_ *began* with a spectacular "event" in Damascus. Doesn't it stand to reason that the _Age of Grace_ will *end* with an equally spectacular "event" also in Damascus, from where it all began?

*DON’T BE SHY, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT*

[annmarie]

It hasn't been fulfilled yet, because the prophecy explicitly says that Damascus will cease to be a city. The fact remains that millions of people still live in Damascus and it is very much still a city.

[bertahachey]

Although it is true that the Assad Regime has fallen, it is not true that the city of Damascus has been completely destroyed at all.

[mahutwe]

Damascus is not all gutted bones like your footage. Many people have been living there and still do today. They have infrastructure, utilities, markets, transportation. Damascus is not nearly flattened.

[crystalmcguire]

Damascus hasn't been destroyed yet

[kimcollisn]

"Life & death is in the power of the tongue"

[abbaup]

Clickbait title!
Damascus is not yet a ruin! It’s actually pretty 90% still much all up!
So please avoid this kind of clickbait and deceiving lies!

[Sharon-dvfx]

Aside didn't really gas his own people I can't possibly believe that

Father forgive us... we have totally failed you, your people of Syria... 😢

[lindawozniak]

Esau gave up his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of stew. He had no respect for it.

[michaelatkins]

I'm sorry, you're searching to make this verse seem to be occurring. I disagree. If what you say is true, then tribulations won't be that bad. If anyone still lives there, it's not ruinous.

[elakay]

Isaiah 17.... says that Damascus will be a ruinist heap. Gods word is truth. it's real. Believe in the word of God! Jesus is Lord of Lords! We are so close to the Lords return!

[mlolham]

Hi, brother in Christ, I'm an ASSYRIAN not a Syrian, Our Father Jacob was an ASSYRIAN his wife was from an ASSYRIAN nation we believe in one God Jesus Christ, perofed Job went to the City of Neniva from that day we believe in one God in Haven until today my nation believes and obey one true God Jesus Christ.

[CalebDiT]

The footage you're showing of Damascus is a computer animation. The lighting is unrealistic, first of all, which is what first caused me to look more closely. You can also see parts of buildings floating in the air. I don't say that to disagree with your interpretation, necessarily, but it could make a difference. Propaganda doesn't depict such things for no reason.

[Saxondavid]

They always wanted mount hermon its where there fathers came to earth

[gradyjohnson]

Please read your bible. And atay as close to God as you can. He will direct us. Eventually this will be world wide.

[ahh-ti-ana]

It's time for the 2 witnesses to show up, ain't it?

[margaretwhittaker]

Many thanks, Steven. Both you and Jana are greatly appreciated. Sending love and prayers. God bless

0:53 “Ruinous heap” is an apt description. This outcome showcases the worst of humanity.
