Not since Israel,
again, miraculously became a nation in 1948 will
the Lord provide the Church with such a
tremendous evangelistic tool. But He will do so
in the form of another fulfilled prophecy with
the destruction of Damascus, Syria. Damascus is
the oldest, continuously occupied city in the
world. But 3000 years ago, the prophet Isaiah
wrote:
"Behold, Damascus is taken
away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous
heap." (Isaiah 17:1)
Israel has stated
if they’re attacked by Hizbullah forces,
which have threatened the Jewish state with
cross-border rocket fire, they will hold
Damascus accountable. Damascus is going to be
destroyed, and it may be nearer than you think.
We have produced a
short ninety-second video which you can use to
win souls for Christ, especially after this event
takes place. Here is the video:

I believe the
Rapture of the Church is spoken of within the
prophetic text of the Damascus prophecy. Consider
these events in light of their Biblical
correlation. Damascus is destroyed: "The
burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken
away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous
heap." (Isaiah 17:1 KJV)
The initial attack
against Israel resulted in multiple Israeli
casualties: "And in that day it shall
come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be
made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax
lean." (Isaiah 17:4 KJV)
At some point
after the Damascus destruction, the Rapture
occurs: "And it shall be as when the
harvest man gathereth the corn, and reapeth the
ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that
gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim."
(Isaiah 17:5 KJV)
Those who will be
Tribulation Saints are left behind: "Yet
gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the
shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in
the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in
the outermost fruitful branches thereof, saith
the LORD God of Israel." (Isaiah 17:6 KJV)
I truly believe
the Church is on borrowed time, soon to be united
with her Lord and Savior. Until then, she must
persevere and use this upcoming prophecy to win
souls for Christ. Even so, come Lord Jesus!
