That’s not end-times prophecy; it already happened, long ago. The new city of Damscus, and, indeed, IIRC, even the Damascus of Jesus’ time, was rebuilt since then.

It can also be taken to mean that Syria itself will lose it's crown, or that Syria will cease to be as a sovereign nation for all time.
Neither of these have occurred, even to this very day.

Seems to be so. What is more recent is that the Crusaders never conquered Damascus.
