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.

Subject: [Sndbox] Interesting....copied from another groupKeep 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.
