Ok, I looked in the book I have, "Every Prophecy of the Bible" by John Walvoord, and I looked up the prophecy about Damascus in Isaiah 17:1.  He said this has already happened.  He didn't really explain when or how.  This is what he said: "Damascus was allied with Israel in fighting the Assyrians, but it would all be to no avail because the Assyrians would triumph.  Jacob would be like a fat body that wasted away (vs. 4).  The destruction of Damascus was fulfilled in history and prophecy.  As a result of their discipline by the conquering Assyrians, Israel would turn from their false gods and Asherah poles to the true God.  (vs. 7-8)."
 
So, Damascus has been destroyed once, but I wonder if it may happen again.

Keep your eyes on Iran.
 Russia (Gog) is building the nuclear facilities in Iran. If Israel destroys these, Russians would be killed and may be dragged into a middle east  conflict against their will (
Eze 38:4 ). Syria is not mentioned nor is Iraq, in Ezekiel 38 & 39. The USA has eliminated Iraq from the fight and maybe Israel is about to eliminate Syria.

Eze 38:1  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 38:2  Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
Eze 38:3  And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Eze 38:4  And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
Eze 38:5  Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
Eze 38:6  Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
