Conflict grows in Syria

One of the most interesting stories I am tracking in the news right now is the growing conflict in Syria.  Syrian President Bashar Assad is dealing with rebels unhappy with his cruel dictatorship.  According to the article I have linked below, there is growing concern about an all out civil war in Syria.

Prophetically speaking, this is an interesting possibility.  Isaiah 17:1 tells us that Damascus will one day be destroyed.  This has never happened in the history of the world.  While we know that it will happen, we don't know how or why it will happen.  Many have assumed that Damascus would be destroyed in a clash with another nation , in particular Israel.  However, it could be that it will be destroyed in a violent Syrian civil war.
