Our Prophetic Season has us seeing end times prophecies. Will the words over Damascus be fulfilled for us to see? The rebellion that has been going on for years seems to make this prophecy likely in the near future.
Isaiah 17.1. The prophecy of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it will be a ruin. 2. The cities of Aroer are forsaken. They will be for flocks, which will lie down and nothing will make them afraid. 3. The fortress will also cease from Ephraim, the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they will be like the glory of the children of Israel, says the LORD* of Hosts. 4. And in that day it will be that the glory of Jacob will be made thin and the fatness of his flesh will wax lean. 5. And it will be as when the harvester gathers the grain and reaps the grains with his arm; and it will be as he that gathers grain in the valley of Rephaim. 6. Yet gleaning grapes will be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in its outermost fruitful branches, says the LORD* God of Israel.
