"Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap...at eventide, trouble! And before the morning, he is no more..." (Isaiah 17:1, 14)
As I write this, Syria & Iran are once more stirring in Lebanon thru Hezbullah. We have no idea how Damascus could be destroyed literally overnight as suggested in the Bible. Damascus is one of the oldest city on planet earth that is continuously inhabited. Never in the history of mankind has Damascus been ruinous or deserted... Will Syrian be doing something so foolish that causes a nuclear retaliation? We dunno. I shudder at such thoughts. May it never be. Pray for the people in Syria.
3) Gog Magog War
"Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him... I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops - many people are with you." (Ezekiel 38:2, 4-6)
Bible warns of a day when Russia, Iran, Libya, Ethiopia & Turkey will be involved as members of a war alliance - an EVIL alliance.
What is this group of nations gonna do?
"After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely." (Ezekiel 38:8)
Let me "paraphrase" this way...
...In the latter years [this day & age?] you will come into the land of those brought back [Aliyah] from the sword [Holocaust & WWI & WWII] and gathered from many people [Jews all over the world] on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate [1900yrs]; they were [Jews] were brought out of the nations...
Never in any time in our history has the verse above, described in/with such details, been more TRUE than ever TODAY. Even the members of this evil alliance read like today's headline news in the Middle East. The amazing geo-political fit is stunning. Even MORE stunning is WHO are NOT in this list... (I shall leave it at that)...
So this evil alliance will come to modern day Israel to do what?
...to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out our hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land... All of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army. You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land... (Ezekiel 38:12, 15-16)
Could Israel possibly withstand or survive such a massive assault? Would Israel be finally wiped off the surface of the earth?
The answer is in the Bible, so pls go and read. Hmmm... perhaps just a little clue here - God will intervene in this war Himself with this after effect:
...the nations shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. (Ezekiel 39:7)
