With U.S. warships looming offshore, reports of chemical weapons and
saber-rattling from Iran about the coming of Armageddon, the nation
of Syria and its capital, Damascus, are at the epicenter of what
some suggest may become a prophesied battle of biblical proportions.
<p>“Many students of the Word of God see a major alignment of
ancient prophecies regarding the end times being fulfilled right
before our eyes,” asserts Carl Gallups, pastor, radio host and
author of <a
href="http://superstore.wnd.com/books/books-by-author/The-Magic-Man-in-the-Sky-Effectively-Defending-the-Christian-Faith-Hardcover">“The
Magic Man in the Sky: Effectively Defending the Christian
Faith.”</a> “More importantly, we are the first generation in
history to see such dramatic and striking alignments.”</p>
<p>Gallups points to the biblical passage of Psalm 83 – which tells
of the nations surrounding Israel conspiring against it – and
especially to Isaiah 17, which tells of a day when Damascus, often
cited as the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, will
be utterly destroyed.</p>
<p>“Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall
be a ruinous heap,” states the ancient prophet Isaiah. “The
fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from
Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of
the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.”</p>
<p>“I also want to note,” adds author of <a
href="http://superstore.wnd.com/books/The-9-11-Prophecy-Hardcover">“The
9/11 Prophecy,”</a> James F. Fitzgerald, “that the prophecy of
the destruction of Damascus in Isaiah 17 is directly connected in
its context to the fall of Ephraim and the Northern Kingdom of
Israel as Isaiah previously warned in chapter 9:10. That is the
same prophecy messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn has written about in <a
href="http://superstore.wnd.com/books/The-Harbinger-The-ancient-mystery-that-holds-the-secret-of-Americas-future-Paperback">‘The
Harbinger’</a> and in <a
href="http://superstore.wnd.com/video/WND-Films/The-Isaiah-910-Judgment-Is-There-An-Ancient-Mystery-That-Fortells-Americas-Future-DVD">‘The
Isaiah 9:10 Judgment’</a> documentary, where he’s applied the
specific pattern of judgment there to the remarkable events that
have transpired here in America after 9/11.”<br>
