Also look at Isaiah 17:1: "The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap."<br />Sennacherib's army was defeated by the Angel of the Lord in their camp around the walls of Jerusalem. The Angel did nothing like destroying the city of Damascus!Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753317119296102246.post-40537413724388124412013-09-08T05:58:23.239-07:002013-09-08T05:58:23.239-07:00http://isaiahdamascus.blogspot.co.uk/
Isaiah 17 w...http://isaiahdamascus.blogspot.co.uk/<br /><br />Isaiah 17 was fulfilled a long time ago. My blog deals with all this.<br /><br />look at this:-<br /><br />Isaiah 17:14, ¶ A At evening time, behold, terror! Before morning, they are no more! This is the portion of those who loot us, and the lot of those who plunder us.<br /><br />This was fulfilled to the letter when The Lord struch sennacheribs army with angelic power, killing 185,000 overnight. My blog details the rest of the historical background. Or see my review of bill salus' book, yeah, read that one :)<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/review/RVV72GWU9SD9G/ref=cm_cr_rdp_permRichard Spendiffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753317119296102246.post-44540101753786074172013-09-06T16:18:18.601-07:002013-09-06T16:18:18.601-07:00The Antichrist isn't here yet unless you are t...The Antichrist isn't here yet unless you are talking about the spirit of Antichrist.Prophecy Proof Insightshttp://prophecyproof.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753317119296102246.post-36862865586826268192013-09-03T22:01:00.992-07:002013-09-03T22:01:00.992-07:00I disagree that "all is fitting perfectly&quo...I disagree that "all is fitting perfectly" in that scenario. The Israeli military is no slouch. It's highly unlikely that the West would arm the Syrian rebels to the extent that they would be able to overpower the Israeli military.Prophecy Proof Insightshttp://prophecyproof.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753317119296102246.post-12670061417599056652013-09-03T19:33:51.443-07:002013-09-03T19:33:51.443-07:00"Furthermore, it is hard to imagine many nati..."Furthermore, it is hard to imagine many nations supporting the deployment of a large number of ground troops in Syria in the midst of a bloody civil war and then using these troops to launch an assault against Jerusalem" <br /><br /><br />it's very easy to imagine these "many nations" - you almost reached the point at the end of your article yourself. <br /><br /><br />"Many nations" not necessarily mean "many countries". The rebels fighting against Assad are consisting of many ethnicities, from chechens to iraqis, afghans, etc. a bunch of islam radicalists. <br /><br /><br />If Western gives military strikes to Assad, and starts provide more weaponry to these rebels (as they plan to do, today almost all congressmens supported such type of actions in the hearing), they will get upper hand in the conflict with Assad. The fight will be harsh, of course, and Damascus will be in ruins. <br /><br /><br />But these islamists, empowered by Western weaponry, will not stop at that point. Al Qaeda has no sympathy for Israel either and it's very easy to imagine they will march further, to the northern Israel (Ephraim) and make it isolated there, then goes to sieging Jerusalem. Then West intervenes and together with Israelis defeat them. <br /><br /><br />In such a scenario, all is fitting perfectly.Laukakmensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753317119296102246.post-23293806109155571682013-09-03T16:58:28.694-07:002013-09-03T16:58:28.694-07:00The time period following the sounding of the sixt...The time period following the sounding of the sixth trumpet is full of conflict in the Mideast. My belief at this present time is that Isaiah 17's fulfillment best fits in that time frame because of the Mideast conflict at that time and Israel will not be in good shape at that time as well. It's also the period when I expect the end time siege of Jerusalem to take place.Prophecy Proof Insightshttp://prophecyproof.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753317119296102246.post-39774606235718415912013-09-03T12:53:18.863-07:002013-09-03T12:53:18.863-07:00Thanks for your meaningful reply.

I am happy to read your<br />careful and sound arguments regarding the current situation in Syria.<br />I think you have a good point in stating that a major<br />destruction in Israel (and, consequently, the fulfillment of Isaiah 17) would seem to be irrealistic at the moment. My only concern is that this „moment” could change very rapidly at any time now, and any intervention in Syria may affect Israel’s national security really seriously. The main ally of Al-Assad’s regime is Iran, which seems to be very determined to retort militarily if Syria is attacked (e. g. http://www.dailypaul.com/297239/ww3-syrian-iranian-officials-say-israel-will-be-set-on-fire-if-us-strikes-video<br />or http://freebeacon.com/iranian-official-israel-to-be-first-victim-of-u-s-attack-on-syria/ ). They can’t really do any harm to the USA, but to Israel they can and they definitely would love to. So I suppose that either a vengeful Persian attack on Israel or even a preventive Israeli attack on Iran is possible as a consequence<br />of any foreign intervention in Syria. The latter could make a number of nations engage in a war against Israel.<br /><br />One can easily see the current state of Israel as a country which „has forgotten the God of her salvation” and planted pleasant plants with strange slips. I admit I may be wrong in this, but I see Isaiah 17 as a prophecy which is set in a time when Israel does not enjoy too much supernatural protection of God yet, but the „rushing of the nations” make Him rise against the attackers of Israel. I think it’s worth looking once again, from this point of view, at the parallel with Sennacherib, the Assyrian king that you pointed out very interestingly in your last article (Isaiah 17:14 vs 2Kings 19:35).<br /><br />But, I’m no prophet either :), I’m just thinking. And I will be happy if it turns out that I am wrong. Currently, after reading your thoughts on the topic, I tend to think your theory has better scriptural evidence and this is what matters most. The near fulfillment of Isaiah 17 is only possible if Israel suffers a serious loss and I really don't wish that to happen.Chrisnoreply@blogger.com
