I haven't seen you around much and am praying for you.....well, I am here to humble myself and ask for forgiveness.....I was wrong in hearing from God about Damascus....I look back and see where I set myself up for such a bold statement and it was lack of seeking Him through prayer thoroughly....nevertheless I shall refrain from speaking in the future....I am not so confident about hearing from Him accurately lately.....so please accept my apology and pray for me. Thank you!
You are not wrong about Damascus.. Your error is in presuming to know God's timetable... To everything there is a season ...

It wasn't a presumption but rather a vision....and in January I truly believed the Holy Spirit was telling me to keep my eyes on Israel/Syria. I have not walked or operated in my calling for a very long time....I went through a very long time of being dead in my spirit after my husband died in 1999 and I told God I did not want to minister to anyone anymore.....and I didn't....until this past year. I joined the CF forum and there I met HiddeninHim and from there the gift and calling was being stirred up again....and when I shared with him what I was seeing He didn't agree with the timing...but then 2 other members posted about war beginning and had a vision of this past summer....both had the same type of dream and vision years ago with the same time frame and they didn't even know each other....so I was deceived into thinking this was confirmation. As I have shared here and on the other forum I normally don't see time frames. I have never had visions of world events but I have had many visions of individuals given to me from the Holy Spirit which were confirmed by those I was told to share with.
Well, I am still seeking Him and I am a willing vessel if He chooses. I just need to spend more time in prayer before moving forward and to wait for confirmation. So it was a hard lesson to learn and I don't take this lightly.

I am praying for you. With regard to the apology I am not certain that it was needed although I understand why you did.

H2S, I had a similar thing happen to me. It was on a different site. Will yT tried to speak with me about it but I was completely convinced I had heard from God. I am still convinced i t was God, that I didn't get wrong, but...I filled in some on my own. Now I refuse to fill in anything on my own. If God wanted me to speak, He would literally have to hit me with a brick...or a whale, to get me to speak what I believed Him to be saying.

I may have posted this before, but a repeat seems necessary:
Isaiah 17:1 Damascus will cease to be a city, she will be reduced to a heap of ruins forever desolate. Animals will live there, undisturbed.

Jeremiah 49:23-27 Of Damascus: The Syrians are covered in confusion, for they have heard news of a coming disaster, they run around in fear and trembling and panic grips them. No more joyful songs or celebrations are heard in her streets, because on that Day her young men will fall and soldiers will lie still in death. The Lord says; I will kindle a fire inside Damascus and it will devour her strongholds.

Amos 1:3-4 For crime after crime of Damascus, I will give them no reprieve because they oppressed My Land with malicious spite. Therefore I will send fire to consume her strongholds.

Zechariah 9:1-2 The Word of the Lord comes to the lands north of Israel and it will soon come upon Damascus. For to the Lord belongs all of that area and even though the cities of Lebanon have become rich, He will strip them of all their possessions and break their power. A devastating fire will devour them all.
Ref: REB. Some verses abridged and paraphrased.

All these prophecies tell of the soon to happen destruction of Damascus, Syria, a disaster instigated by the Lord;

Note that in all cases, they go on to talk of other nations who are also affected by this fire judgement. Isaiah 66:16 In particular Isaiah 17:4-6 says how Jacob, that is: the 10 tribes of Israel- now the Western nations and the 2 tribes of Judah now the current State of Israel, will lose their strength. It seems that most of the world’s military forces will be destroyed. Isaiah 34:2-3, Hosea 2:18, Micah 5:10-11

Although the Sixth Seal, the next prophesied event to happen according to the sequence in Revelation, does not mention fire as the means of punishment, [there is nothing in Revelation 6:12-17 to say how it will be carried out] we can ascertain the details from parallel passages like: Isaiah 34:2-4, Isaiah 2:12-21, Joel 2:1-11, Malachi 4:1 and especially 2 Peter 3:7 & 10.

Notice in Jeremiah 49:23, how everyone knows what is coming. This can be explained by the 24 hour period between the initial flash of a Coronal Mass Ejection sunstrike and the arrival of the main mass of superheated plasma. Ezekiel 7:10-19
The Electro-Magnetic Pulse of the CME will fry all electric systems, modern weaponry will become useless.

That it will be a single Day of destruction is confirmed by the use in every case of the Hebrew and Greek words for a 24 hour period and this fits how a CME will hit the earth and then continue on into outer space. Isaiah 63:4, Joel 1:15
