Damascus is the longest lived-in city in the world having never been destroyed.

Sadly, when Damascus is destroyed, Israel will also be “abandoned like the grain fields in the valley of Rephaim after the harvest. Only a few of its people will be left, like the stray olives left on the tree after the harvest.”
The point seems to be that Israel has once again become primarily secular today - like the rest of the world. And just as they abandoned their God and were punished by exile to Babylon, so seems that this prophesy of the destruction of Damascus (and the poor conditions in Israel) is similar.

The Golden Calf has grown up to be a hollow Bronze Bull.
You are introducing prophacy that is not really relevant to the present except for place names
I hope you will forgive me if I don’t believe that.
