"Isaiah 17:1 The oracle concerning Damascus. "Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city And will become a fallen ruin."

A pretty worthless piece of prophecy since Damascus was destroyed in 741 bc just before Isiah started writing.

That is, of course, if you assume it was a backward looking statement and not a forward one.

Read that verse just last night.

Indeed, Damascus was wiped out. Many times since Isaiah also.
