Destruction of DAMASCUS: Isaiah 17 (Simplified)

 

Okay. Let's cut through the Theological and Eschatological Mumbo-jumbo and get to the chase.

In Bible Prophecy, written THOUSANDS of years ago, it says in these End Times the city of Damascus (the oldest continually inhabited city) is going to be destroyed and become uninhabitable.

Before you read what the prophet Isaiah directly has to say  look at my map of 

🔴 Damascus

🔴 Aram (which is modern Syria)

🔴 Ephraim (area God gave to that tribe)

🔴 Aroer (in Jordan)

With those keys you can unlock and read (for YOURSELF) what the Bible says.

"A prophecy against Damascus.

'See, Damascus will no longer be a city
    but will become a heap of ruins.
2 The cities of Aroer will be deserted
    and left to flocks, which will lie down,
    with no one to make them afraid.
3 The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
    and royal power from Damascus;
the remnant of Aram will be
    like the glory of the Israelites,'
declares the Lord Almighty."

(Isaiah 17:1-3)

It's worth you reading all of Isaiah, chapter 17 so you can get the full picture.

As I have often said before, "All eyes on Israel in the End Times".

This is where all the World action will center again.

End Times Hide-and-Seek

 

These events occurred during the summer of 1971, when I was 5 years old. (Oops. 🙊 I accidentally outed my age on the internet again.)

“Let's play Hide-and-Seek. 

Laura-Lee, you're “It”.

Count to 20 slowly with your eyes shut and we'll go hide.”

‘I know how to play this game. I'm not stupid, ya’ know.”

“And don't peek!”

“And I don't cheat either!”

(I close and cover my eyes and start counting loudly)

‘1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12. uh, uh, 13.

 Um. Um. 14. Um”

(He calls out from behind a bush)

“Wait a minute! Wait a minute! 

Laura-Lee, after 14 comes 15. Then keep going from there.”

I hear him say, (under his breath) “What a dummy.”

“Right. 14 - 15. Um. Um. 16. Um.” (long pause)

(He yells from behind the Bush) “17 - 18!”

“Right. 17 - 18 - 19 - 20.”

I yell, “Ready or not, here I come!”

(Then I point right at him and say)

“I see you behind the bush. And because you're the first one I found that makes you “It” next.”

‘Hey, wait a minute! That's not fair! I was helping you.”

“I didn't ask for your help, did I?”

"But I thought you couldn't count to 20.”

“It's not my fault what you think. Now you're “It”.  Who's the dummy now?”

Esther was created for her time and I am created for mine.

"And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”

(Esther 4:14)

If we want to survive the Lawlessness, evil deeds by evil people, demon activity and the spirit of antichrist everywhere, then we need to seriously up our game.

Welcome to the End Times, Everybody.

Remember, Simplistic and Innocent are not the same as Stupid and Naive.

Maybe Only Those ... 🤔

 

🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿

Maybe ONLY those who will hear Jesus call with a "loud command" are those listening for His voice.

Maybe ONLY those who will be "caught up" are those ready to leave everything behind. 

"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 

After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever."

(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿

Maybe ONLY those who will see Jesus's "Glorious appearing" are those who have longed for it.

"Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."

(2 Timothy 4:8)

🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿

Maybe ONLY those who will be clothed with "immortality" and "swallowed up in victory" are those who hate corruption.

Maybe ONLY those who will "inherit the Kingdom of God ... in the twinkling of an eye" are those who live their lives desiring to be changed into something better.

'I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.  

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 

 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 

 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: 

“Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

(1 Corinthians 15:50-54)

"Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 

They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? 

(2 Peter 3:3-4)

Maybe ALL who scoff at Jesus's Second "Coming" and doubt his Promise are those He Leaves Behind.❗️

Prophetic Shock 😲

 

When the Apostle John (who lived about 2,000 years ago and the Prophet Daniel (who lived about 2,500 years ago) were given prophetic visions of our current times they must have been completely overwhelmed and struggled to make sense of what they were looking at. 

I mean, they were living in a time period LONG before things like cars and electricity were invented. That's why when they describe the things we take for granted in the books of Revelation and Daniel they are struggling to find the words and are always using the phrase,

"It was like ..."

There are certainly portions of the Bible that we need to use our imaginations in too, but the difference is that we can much more readily identify what they are describing because it is familiar to us.
