First, I also have read experts words to the effect that Damascus’ prophesy had been fulfilled.

As far back as 2005, a guy wrote about this (I posted the sit) actually likely happening then (in 2005)... and for us to have lasted for 6 years and it not coming to past, boggles the mind! I have never known the escalation of time events as I have known them in the past 18 months...

I think the reason why everything is moving so fast goes back to what Jesus said:

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

and

so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.

Everything that God does has an appointed time. We are the generation which is beginning to see the signs Christ gave for His return.

Things are falling into place at breakneck speed and will continue to do so. And, these signs are for the Tribulation, and we know that Jesus will remove His church before the Tribulation begins, so based on the Scripture we have been given and the events we see going on around us, we are not long for this earth.

My grandfather was into this particular prophecy in 1956 ~ he even hauled out his Babylonian Talmud and pointed to rabbinical commentaries that illuminated things.

Damascus is still there.

A very insightful and thorough exposition of Isaiah 17. I think this interpretation is very plausible. Particularly considering the news of the day...
