The bible tells of a scenario wherein Damascus Syria will be completely destroyed. I wonder if this will happen in 2008 or 2009? Notice the article states Syria is trying to accumulate enough missiles by the end of 08 to sends 100's of rockets per hour into Israel. The time of the end may be closer than we think.Isaiah 17:1 The burden concerning Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.Now to the article I came across:"JERUSALEM – Syria, aided by Russia and Iran, in recent months has been furiously acquiring rockets and missiles, including projectiles capable of hitting the entire state of Israel, according to Jordanian and Israeli security officials speaking to WND.A Jordanian security official said one of the main reasons Damascus did not retaliate after Israel carried out its Sept. 6 airstrike inside Syria allegedly targeting a nascent nuclear facility was because Syria's rocket infrastructure was not yet complete.The official said after the Israeli airstrike, Syria picked up the pace of acquiring rockets and missiles, largely from Russia with Iranian backing, with the goal of completing its missile and rocket arsenal by the end of the year. The Jordanian official said Syria is aiming to possess enough projectiles to fire over 100 rockets into Israel per hour for a sustained period of time."The rest of the story:http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=...ew&pageId=55612Here is a summary of what will happen in the future according to the bible that I found at:http://www.trumpetsounds.com/isaiah17.htmlThe entire article is a good read on the subject of the destruction of Damascus."Interpretative summary: Because Israel has ignored their God, who chose them as a nation and planted them in the land, He takes decisive action to direct their attention to Himself. A war with Syria is the means He chooses. In that war Damascus inflicts grievous injury on Israel's cities, but Jerusalem is spared. In response, Damascus is completely and irreversibly annihilated. In addition, the Palestinian terrorist forces are eliminated from the West Bank.Israel suffers greatly in the war. The aftermath is awful devastation in Israel's population centers, as well as the emaciation of Israel's national status. Because of Israel's role in the destruction of Damascus, the international community expresses unprecedented, extreme rage against Israel. But God comes vehemently to Israel's defense, and through the whole process, a remarkable spiritual transformation takes place in the nation. They turn their eyes to their Maker, abandoning all man-made religion."
