DAMASCUS, Feb 13 (Reuters) - The Syrian government said on Tuesday that Israel would face "more surprises" in future attacks on Syria's territory, after Syrian air defences shot down an Israeli F-16 jet.

Syrian anti-aircraft fire downed the F-16 as it returned from a bombing raid on Iran-backed positions in Syria early on Saturday. Both Iran and Russia are supporting President Bashar al-Assad in Syria's near seven-year civil war.

Stuff like this is why a lot of folks will be thinking of Isaiah 17 verse 1.

I just don’t think Russia will pull off this ridiculous behavior through to the end. Esp with stronger leadership in the West now.

Something is going to give in the coming months.

It’s been an inevitable reality for millennia now that Damascus will be toast.

That day approaches very soon. Maranatha!

What makes Syria of all countries think they can mess with Isreal?

Didn't Israel finish off the entire Arab world in like six days?

Or did I misread my history books.

Maybe even weeks seeing as how March elections are around the corner and the official Russia media line is that troops have “pulled out” by now...

(Oops but mercenaries aren’t in official counts!)

Although I disagree with a the author of that piece on a few points, it’s important to realize that this is yet a future event and I’m not taking a dogmatic approach on what might happen.

That Ezekiel 38 & 39 will happen after Isaiah 17:1 is something I do agree with.

We’re close!

I was just going to say the surprise may be all Syria’s if one reads Isaiah!

I pity all those ‘scholars’ that believe that the Old Testament is ‘old’ because everything in it has already transpired. Not even close to being true.

Many verses speak of the Great Tribulation (or ‘the time of Jacob’s trouble’) and many more speak of the 1,000 year rule of Jesus Christ upon the earth (or the Millennium).

There is quite a few things that will be yet new in the Old Testament.

“Even so, come Lord Jesus!”

It’s just crazy watching all this stuff in real time.

Well, we will see what happens. I’m thinking I ought to go fill up the gas tank of one car.

I’m actually surprised gas prices dropped in my area.

If you’re gonna bite, BITE, don’t bark.

I’m thinking this is going to escalate fast.

Yeah, whenever it comes, I agree - it will escalate quickly.

Macron says France will strike if proof of Assad’s chemical weapons used:

Some of John McCain's Al-Nusra Orcs have already been caught with cannisters of chlorine gas in their car.

Then there's this: Mattis admits there was no evidence of Assad using poison gas

The Syrians were able to shoot down one F-16, probably with Russian mercenaries operating the missile batteries and not Syrian operators.

The Syrians reputedly fired about 25 missiles in order to get a lucky shot on one F-16.

The Israelis then destroyed about 12 Syrian SAM sites.

Not exactly a proud accomplishment
