"In the bible, it is either the prophet Isiah or Ezekial that says that Damascus will be totally destroyed in the end of the age, never to be rebuilt again."
Maybe we should be the arm of God.
"Maybe we should be the arm of God."
You bet. Religions like to paint a picture of God zapping armies and physical white horse of Christ coming down and decimating armies. Look at WWII. Good triumphed over bad. Some of the little published but critical turns in the defeat of the Axis to me were truly miraculous. Some examples were the Battle of Britain, the African Campaigns, Hitlers decision to invade Russia, Hitlers decision to use jet fighters for bombers instead of air-to-air combat, etc.
