"Israeli Airstrikes Target Damascus: What's The Prophetic Significance?"

There are two kinds of Bible prophecy: fulfilled prophecy and prophecy awaiting fulfillment. What God has decreeded will surely come about. Every prophetic utterance that has not yet taken place will, in God's time, be fulfilled to the letter (see 2 Peter 3:9).

Damascus, with its population of 2 million, is the capital of Syria and ranks among the oldest cities in the world. The history of Dasmascus is one of upheaval, bloodshed, invading armies, destruction, rebuilding, and more destruction.

It's true Dasmascus has been conquered, knocked down, and counted out many times, but it has never stayed down. Like the mytholgical Phoenix, Damascus has always managed to rise again from the ashes.

Twenty-five hundred years ago, the Hebrew prophet Isaiah propheised of the final destruction of Damascus: "Behold, Dasmascus shall cease to be a city, and shall become a ruined heap" (ISAIAH 17:1).

Most scholars place this final destruction just prior to the 7 years of tribulation.

Why? Because Ezekiel predicts a last days surprise attack against Israel (Ezekiel 38) that involves a Russian-led alliance of nations including Iran, but excluding Syria.

In fact, Syria isn't numbered among any of the various protagonists prophesied to participate in the conflicts of the last days.

This week, Israel carried out airstrikes in Syria, specifically targeting the capital of Damascus.

Though Israel's MO is to keep their mouths shut, reports say there is a Syrian military complex developing WMDs along with chemical and biological weapons for use in a future confrontation with Israel.

And while Damascus is still one of the world's oldest inhabited cities going back thousands of years, Isaiah says that may be about to change.

A wise man once said: "Damascus is an ancient city, but in all of its lifespan it has never been wiped out. Are we seeing--in our day--the stage being set for Damascus to be obliterated like the Bible says--where no human will be able to live there again? Something's gonna happen in Damascus." --Jack Hibbs, senior pastor CCCH

"Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the Kingdom of God is near. Truly, I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away untill all these things have happened, Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away" (LUKE 21:31,32).
