In regard to Damascus, you must be referring to Isaiah 17. You are right. Damascus has never ceased to be a city. It has risen and fallen in prominence. The power of Aram, in line with the prophecy, is long gone. It ceased to exist in the 8th century B.C., destroyed by the Assyrians. There are vast portions of Biblical prophecy which remain to be fulfilled — most of Ezekiel, for example. I believe in Christ’s imminent return. Paul says Christ’s return will not catch believers as a surprise, because we are looking for it. (I Thess. 5:4)

One other thing that their historically challenged arguments neglect is that to the peoples in AD 70, the Romaoi and Parthian Empires WERE the World. 1/4 to 1/3rd of the worlds population lived in those Empires and the people at that time heard of no others except the trading land of Ophir (India) and the mythical Cathay or Zhongua.

To John of Patmos, the world and one ruler COULD have stood for the solitary Princep or Dominator.
