A lot of the news coming out of the Middle-East recently as dealt with the growing unrest in Syria and the crackdowns by Syrian President Bashar Assad. How does what is happening in Syria fit in with end-time prophecy?
Isaiah 17 tells us that Damascus will be destroyed. Obviously this involves Syria. What is not known is how or when this destruction will take place. I have always assumed Damascus would be destroyed in a war with Israel. I still hold to this opinion, but the growing violence has caused me to wonder if Damascus could be destroyed in some sort of civil uprising. As I said, I still think it will happen in a skirmish with Israel, but only time will tell.
Whatever is happening in the nation can only serve to further set the table for the events of the last days to unfold. I have included a link to an article on the situation in Syria.
