In the news...... Multiple air strikes on the Airport in Damascus, Syria. Sources say the strikes were done by Israel
attempting to destroy missiles and weapons being flow in from Iran to equip Hezbollah who is devoted to the destruction of Israel.

In Isaiah 17:1 See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins. How is it that a Bible
Prophecy written over 2700 years ago is relating to the daily new?

Is this still yet another sign that we are in the last days of planet earth and the 2nd coming of Christ?
Any thoughts?

I certainly believe that we are in the times of the end.

I believe we ought to be careful in attempting to interpret current events into the Scriptures. Whatever the apostles understood in their day is understood in ours. What is understood in our day may not have been understood then, and if there are things written about current events today, it would have flew over their heads then, and that would become questionable.

Never a good idea to interpret Scripture through the news, Scripture interprets Scripture. If what you are saying is true then we will be seeing "and the kingdom from Damascus and the remnant of Syria will belike the glory of the children of Israel, declares the Lord of hosts." That's verse 3 of Isaiah 17. You have to read every thing in context, not cherry pick what fits your own idea or doctrine.

It is crazy how this prophecy of Isaiah to the Kingdom of Israel, concerning the Assyrian Empire, otherwise known as the Aram Damascus Empire, has been shanghai'd by modern cod men of God in the service of some very dubious prophetic exegesis with highly questionable motive.

17 An oracle concerning Damascus.
See, Damascus will cease to be a city,
and will become a heap of ruins.
2 Her towns will be deserted forever;
they will be places for flocks,
which will lie down, and no one will make them afraid.
3 The fortress will disappear from Ephraim,
and the kingdom from Damascus;
and the remnant of Aram will be
like the glory of the children of Israel,
says the Lord of hosts.
4 On that day
the glory of Jacob will be brought low,
and the fat of his flesh will grow lean.




This is a prophecy about the Assyrian invasion of apostate Israel circa 732BC.

The towns would all lie deserted. End of prophecy.

Keep your eyes on the North West Cost. God is in the disaster business. Rev. Ch 8 coming up.

Deacon, nothing beyond Rev.4 has yet taken place. In order for Chapter 8 of Revelation to take place, it would mean that the world should have already experienced all of the seals and trumpets, of which we have seen none of those events. For example, at the 4th seal a fourth of the current population will have been killed by war, famine, disease and by the wild beasts of the earth, which would equal close to 1.7 billion. At the sounding of the first trumpet a third of the earth is to be burned up, yet we obviously have not experienced this. At the 6th trumpet a third of the inhabitants are killed. When did that happen?

The seals, trumpets and bow judgments are literal events of wrath that are going to come upon a Christ rejecting world, decimating the majority of the population and the dismantling of all human government in preparation for the Lord's millennial kingdom. We are currently living in the "what is now" part of what John was told to write, with the "what will take place later" coming up.

If people want to know what prophecy they are living in, they only need to look in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12.
It's exciting for the righteous, for their time is short.
Just not so exciting for the prophecy chasers, though.

A Prophecy of Daniel 7 came true just before the fall of Berlin and few people even noticed.

You must of miss it then the way I see it we are just before Rev 8 in fact if we see the winter out we’ll be lucky. This is the jubilee year for the Jews and Jesus said this generation shall not pass away til all things come to pass. Israel became a nation in 1948 that was seventy years ago. So I say it’s time.

Just a little extra I was born on May 14, 1933. It was a Mother’s Day. Israel became a nation on my 15th birthday.

Careful. Giving the glory to the US for something she by no means has the authority or power to do. The Holy Spirit is the One with that position.

Deacon_D: there are many prophecies that could happen very soon with terrifying (for the non-believers) results.

Damascus is only one of them. Isa 17, Jer 49:23-27
The retaking of Jordan Jer 49: 1-6, Zephaniah 2:8-10, Ezekiel 25:14
The destruction of Elam (Iran) is another. Jer 49:34-39
Psalm 83 war. Psalm 83

There are several more but these are in addition to the Gog/MaGog, Jer 38-39

The prophecy that the Antichrist cannot be publically known until the Church is removed. 2 Thes 2:3

The Antichrist enforces a covenant between Israel and Death/Hell (Pale Horse, Rev 6:8), The beginning of Jacob's Troubles (Jer 30:7)

All of these prophecies have something in common. Something has happen for them to begin. That is all except one and that one is:

The Catching-up (Rapture) of the "Body of Christ" (Church). Does not need anything to happen first. It can take place at anytime, day or night.

There is also prophecies about the Stars, Moon and Sun. (Genesis 1:14). Jesus tells us in Luke 21:25 "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;"

We have been seeing many signs in the last few years. Blood Moons on Feast Days, Eclipses on Feast days, Eclipses that crossed the USA with the last one crossing the USA in 1917 (the beginning of WWI), Prophecy of (Revelation 12) come true or at least partially fulfilled on Sept 23, 2017.


Yes, we are in the end times. I pray you are ready.

Deacon_D: I also believe our times today already playing an active role in Revelation up to Rev 3:22. One might ask or say that I am crazy.

The seven letters that Jesus wrote to the Churches not only detail the Churchs of that day, they (letters) also tell us about the church throughout history all the way up to today. Now, one might think it is impossible but if they were written in any other order, it would not work...Another fingerprint of GOD.

The 7th letter: "And unto the angel of the Church of the Laodiceans write:"

For in the 17th - 22vs. "17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:"


Jesus tells us what the Laodiceans were like at that time but also what the majority of Churches are like today. Now, you read the above verse, Look at the BooB tube evangelist and tell me, Jesus was and is wrong.

Since we are in the end times by other prophecies throughout the Bible, the Seventh letter (representing completion), the Church(es) that it is talking about are all so real today. AND_______________________

There is no eight letter! we are at the end. Get ready and Look UP!.

And just think, the last Church written to/about, by Jesus Christ is sitting in our living rooms every Sunday morning.

Laodicae (Fat and Sassy)


My commentary:

Rev 4:1 finds John representing (the Church) in Heaven. And today we are sitting at Rev 3:22 awaiting the same thing that happened to Enoch(1), to Elijah (2), to Moses(3) and to Jesus Christ (4) , The Rapture of the Old Testament Saints (5), the Church (Body of Christ) will be the Sixth and during the Great Tribulation, the two witnesses will be 'caught-up' to heaven in front of everyone, including CNN and FOX.

This will be the seventh rapture (being Caught-up) indicating Completeness.
