Assad's days are numbered

Watch how these verses are connected.

We see Syria imploding.  Assad's leadership killed or defected.  His days are numbered.  Headlines on all the major news networks and a hundred smaller ones ---

Isaiah 17:1 (NASB)


Prophecy about Damascus

The oracle concerning Damascus.

“Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city
And will become a fallen ruin.


Isaiah 17:14 (NASB)


At evening time, behold, there is terror!
Before morning they are no more.
Such will be the portion of those who plunder us
And the lot of those who pillage us.

If Damascus is about gone, and Tyre shown below is in Lebanon (right down the street), how long until Psalm 83 is fulfilled?  How long until Israel's enemies rise up against her?  Note the references to Jordan (Moab, Ammon, Edom, Lot, Ishmaelites), along with Tyre (Lebanon).


Psalm 83 (NASB)


God Implored to Confound His Enemies.

A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.

O God, do not remain quiet;
Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.
For behold, Your enemies make an uproar,
And those who hate You have exalted themselves.
They make shrewd plans against Your people,
And conspire together against Your treasured ones.
They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation,
That the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
For they have conspired together with one mind;
Against You they make a covenant:
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites;
Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Assyria also has joined with them;
They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah.
Deal with them as with Midian,
As with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent of Kishon,
Who were destroyed at En-dor,
Who became as dung for the ground.
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb
And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
Who said, “ Let us possess for ourselves
The pastures of God.”
O my God, make them like the whirling dust,
Like chaff before the wind.
Like fire that burns the forest
And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,
So pursue them with Your tempest
And terrify them with Your storm.
Fill their faces with dishonor,
That they may seek Your name, O Lord.
Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever,
And let them be humiliated and perish,
That they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord,
Are the Most High over all the earth.

While Netanyahu looks at Iran, his neighbors plot against him.  Netanyahu lost an important part of his ruling majority this week.  He is under more pressure to move, before he loses power.

If he is to attack before the U.S. November election, he lost much power today and a sneak attack comes first (read on for the logic behind that sequence), how soon is it?

Edom means "red".  Esau was the hairy one and was red headed.  They didn't call him Esau they called him "red" or "edom".  Edom is in Jordan.  Moab, Ammon, Edom, Ishmaelites, same place.  The mountain fortresses in Jordan.


Obadiah 1 (NASB)


Edom Will Be Humbled

The vision of Obadiah.

Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom—

We have heard a report from the Lord,
And an envoy has been sent among the nations saying,
“ Arise and let us go against her for battle”—
2 “Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
You are greatly despised.
3 “The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
You who live in the clefts of the rock,
In the loftiness of your dwelling place,
Who say in your heart,
‘ Who will bring me down to earth?’
4 “Though you build high like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.
5 “If thieves came to you,
If robbers by night—
O how you will be ruined!—
Would they not steal only until they had enough?
If grape gatherers came to you,
Would they not leave some gleanings?
6 “O how Esau will be ransacked,
And his hidden treasures searched out!
7 “All the men allied with you
Will send you forth to the border,
And the men at peace with you
Will deceive you and overpower you.
They who eat your bread
Will set an ambush for you.
(There is no understanding in him.)
8 “Will I not on that day,” declares the Lord,
“ Destroy wise men from Edom
And understanding from the mountain of Esau?
9 “Then your mighty men will be dismayed, O Teman,
So that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
10 “Because of violence to your brother Jacob,
You will be covered with shame,
And you will be cut off forever.
11 “On the day that you stood aloof,
On the day that strangers carried off his wealth,
And foreigners entered his gate
And cast lots for Jerusalem—
You too were as one of them.
12 “ Do not gloat over your brother’s day,
The day of his misfortune.
And do not rejoice over the sons of Judah
In the day of their destruction;
Yes, do not boast
In the day of their distress.
13 “Do not enter the gate of My people
In the day of their disaster.
Yes, you, do not gloat over their calamity
In the day of their disaster.
And do not loot their wealth
In the day of their disaster.
14 “Do not stand at the fork of the road
To cut down their fugitives;
And do not imprison their survivors
In the day of their distress.
The Day of the Lord and the Future

15 “For the day of the Lord draws near on all the nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you.
Your dealings will return on your own head.
16 “Because just as you drank on My holy mountain,
All the nations will drink continually.
They will drink and swallow
And become as if they had never existed.
17 “But on Mount Zion there will be those who escape,
And it will be holy.
And the house of Jacob will possess their possessions.
18 “Then the house of Jacob will be a fire
And the house of Joseph a flame;
But the house of Esau will be as stubble.
And they will set them on fire and consume them,
So that there will be no survivor of the house of Esau,”
For the Lord has spoken.
19 Then those of the Negev will possess the mountain of Esau,
And those of the Shephelah the Philistine plain;
Also, possess the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria,
And Benjamin will possess Gilead.
20 And the exiles of this host of the sons of Israel,
Who are among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath,
And the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
Will possess the cities of the Negev.
21 The deliverers will ascend Mount Zion
To judge the mountain of Esau,
And the kingdom will be the Lord’s.

Jeremiah 49:23-27 (NASB)


Prophecy against Damascus

Concerning Damascus.
“ Hamath and Arpad are put to shame,
For they have heard bad news;
They are disheartened.
There is anxiety by the sea,
It cannot be calmed.
24 “Damascus has become helpless;
She has turned away to flee,
And panic has gripped her;
Distress and pangs have taken hold of her
Like a woman in childbirth.
25 “How the city of praise has not been deserted,
The town of My joy!
26 “Therefore, her young men will fall in her streets,
And all the men of war will be silenced in that day,” declares the Lord of hosts.
27 “I will set fire to the wall of Damascus,
And it will devour the fortified towers of Ben-hadad.”

Do you see how the destruction of Damascus, is intertwined with the destruction of Lebanon and Jordan and it begins with a sneak attack against Israel?  Is Israel focused on Jordan or are they looking at Syria, Iran and to a lesser extent to Egypt?

Has Russia sent massive fire power to Syria?  Yes.

Is the whole world watching?  Yes.

Is Isaiah 15, 16 and 17 are about to fulfilled, read on.

Isaiah 18 describes the destruction of Ethiopia.  Many dark forces are now in that troubled country.  No one's watching Ethiopia, but it's right next door.

Isaiah 19 describes Egypt's destruction

Ezekiel 29 and 30 also speak of Egypt's destruction.

One of Israel's primary targets in a retaliation on Egypt is the Nile rivers Aswan High Dam.  If that Dam were destroyed, it is easy to see how the prophecies concerning the drying up of the Nile could occur.

It seems that the prophecies of Isaiah, Psalms and Ezekiel are coming true, right now.  At least with respect to Israel and her neighbors.

We are close.

Look up your redemption draws near!!

Be ready.  Tell someone.  Be urgent.  Be diligent.  Rule and Reign until He comes.  We are the bride.
