a little perspective

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."ť
Psalm 119:105

If you live in Damascus, now would be a good time to move

posted Monday, July 31, 2006 :: 5:02 PM

Now that Syria is openly threatening Israel, I would not want to be living in Damascus right now. Why? Because Isaiah delivered an oracle concerning Damascus which has never been fully fulfilled:

Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city
And will become a heap of ruins.
Isaiah 17:1, but read the whole chapter, (good explanation here).

There has never been a time since its founding (by Uz, the grandson of Shem) that Damascus has not been a city. There has never been a time when Damascus has been a heap of ruins. Thus, this part of this oracle, at least, is still to come. So, if I were Assad, I would not be testing the Lord’s patience right now, especially with this sword of Damocles hanging over my head.

christine's reading

I am researching the holy days which were instituted by God as a celebration of the Messiah, instead of celebrating the holy days which were instituted by man to honor nature in place of nature's God.
