Isaiah 17:1-14
The BURDEN AGAINST
Damascus. “Behold, Damascus Will CEASE
FROM BEING A City, and IT (Damascus) Will BE
A RUINOUS HEAP. The
Cities of Aroer ARE FORSAKEN; They will be for flocks which lie down, and NO
ONE will make Them afraid. The Fortress ALSO Will CEASE
FROM Ephraim, The Kingdom FROM Damascus, and The Remnant of Syria; They will be as
The Glory of The Children of Israel,” SAYS The LORD OF HOSTS (GOD
Almighty).
“In THAT DAY it shall COME
TO PASS that The GLORY OF Jacob Will
WANE, AND The Fatness of His Flesh GROW LEAN. It shall be as when The Harvester
gathers the grain, and reaps the heads with his arm;
it shall be as he who gathers heads of grain IN The Valley of Rephaim.
Yet gleaning grapes will be left in it, LIKE The Shaking of an Olive Tree, two or three olives at the
top of the uppermost bough, four or five in its most
fruitful branches,” SAYS The LORD GOD (GOD
Almighty) OF Israel.
IN THAT DAY a Man Will LOOK
TO His Maker (GOD Almighty), and His Eyes Will HAVE RESPECT FOR The Holy One OF
Israel. He will NOT
look to The Altars, The Work of His Hands; He will NOT respect what His Fingers have made, NOR The Wooden Images NOR The Incense Altars.
IN THAT DAY His Strong Cities will be as a FORSAKEN
BOUGH and an Uppermost Branch, which
They Left BECAUSE of The Children of Israel; and there
will be DESOLATION. Because YOU have FORGOTTEN The GOD (GOD Almighty) OF Your Salvation,
and have NOT Been Mindful of The Rock of Your Stronghold,
therefore YOU will plant pleasant plants and set out foreign seedlings; IN The Day YOU
will make your plant to grow, and in the morning YOU
will make your seed to flourish; BUT The Harvest will be a Heap of Ruins
IN The Day of Grief and Desperate Sorrow.
WOE
TO The Multitude of Many People, Who Make A Noise LIKE The
Roar of The Seas, and TO The Rushing of Nations that make a rushing LIKE
The Rushing of Mighty Waters! The Nations Will Rush LIKE The Rushing of Many Waters; BUT GOD (GOD Almighty) Will REBUKE Them and
They Will FLEE Far Away, and be chased LIKE The Chaff
of The Mountains before the wind, LIKE a rolling thing
before The Whirlwind. Then Behold, AT Eventide, TROUBLE! And BEFORE The Morning, He IS NO MORE. This IS The Portion of Those
Who PLUNDER Us, AND The Lot of Those who ROB Us.
Jeremiah 49:23-27
AGAINST Damascus. “Hamath and Arpad ARE SHAMED, for They (Hamath
and Arpad) Have Heard BAD NEWS. They (Hamath
and Arpad) ARE Fainthearted; There IS Trouble
ON The Sea; It Can NOT be quiet. Damascus
has Grown Feeble; She (Damascus) turns to flee, and fear has seized Her (Damascus). Anguish and sorrows have TAKEN Her (Damascus),
LIKE a Woman IN Labor. Why IS The City
of Praise (Damascus) NOT DESERTED, The City (Damascus) of My (GOD Almighty’s) Joy? Therefore Her (Damascus) Young Men shall fall
in Her (Damascus) Streets, and All The Men of War Shall BE Cut Off IN THAT DAY,”
SAYS The LORD OF HOSTS. “I Will KINDLE
A FIRE IN The Wall of Damascus, and IT (The Fire) Shall CONSUME The Palaces of
Ben-Hadad.”
Amos 1:3-5
Thus SAYS The LORD
(GOD Almighty): “For Three Transgressions of Damascus, and for Four
(Transgressions),
I Will NOT Turn Away Its (Damascus) Punishment, BECAUSE They (Damascus) HAVE THRESHED Gilead WITH Implements of Iron. BUT I Will SEND A FIRE, INTO
The House of Hazael, Which Shall DEVOUR The Palaces
of Ben-Hadad. I Will ALSO BREAK The Gate Bar of Damascus,
and CUT OFF The Inhabitant FROM The Valley of Aven,
AND The One Who Holds The Scepter FROM Beth Eden. The People of Syria Shall GO
CAPTIVE TO Kir,” SAYS The LORD (GOD Almighty).
Acts 22:6-10, 14-16
“Now it happened, as I (Saul/Paul) journeyed
and came near Damascus at about noon, Suddenly A Great LIGHT FROM Heaven SHONE AROUND
me. And I fell to the ground
and HEARD A Voice SAYING TO me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are YOU PERSECUTING Me?’ So I answered, ‘Who are YOU, LORD?’ And He SAID TO me, ‘I AM Jesus of Nazareth, Whom
YOU ARE PERSECUTING.’ “And
those who were with me indeed SAW The LIGHT and were afraid, but they did NOT hear The
Voice of Him Who SPOKE TO me. So I said, ‘What
shall I do, LORD?’ And The LORD (Jesus
Christ) SAID TO me, ‘Arise and GO into Damascus, and there (Damascus) YOU Will BE TOLD
All Things, which are APPOINTED for YOU to do.’
Then He (Ananias) said,
‘The GOD (GOD Almighty) of Our fathers HAS CHOSEN YOU (Saul/Paul) that YOU Should
KNOW His (GOD Almighty’s) Will, and SEE The Just One (Jesus Christ), and HEAR
The Voice of His (Jesus Christ’s) Mouth. For YOU
Will BE His (Jesus Christ’s) Witness TO All Men of what YOU have SEEN and HEARD. And now
why are YOU waiting? ARISE and BE BAPTIZED,
and WASH AWAY Your sins, CALLING ON The Name OF The LORD (Jesus Christ).’
Galatians 1:11-12, 15-19
But I (Saul/Paul) MAKE KNOWN
TO YOU, Brethren (Believers), that The Gospel (The Gospel OF Jesus Christ)
which was PREACHED BY me, IS NOT according to Man (Mankind). For I NEITHER
Received IT FROM Man (Mankind), NOR was I TAUGHT IT, BUT IT Came THROUGH The Revelation OF Jesus Christ.
But when it PLEASED GOD
(GOD Almighty), Who SEPARATED me (Saul/Paul) FROM My Mother’s Womb and CALLED me THROUGH His (GOD Almighty’s) GRACE, TO REVEAL His (GOD Almighty’s) Son (Jesus Christ)
IN me, that I Might PREACH Him (Jesus Christ) among The Gentiles, I did NOT
immediately CONFER (Talk) WITH Flesh and Blood (Mankind), NOR did I go up to Jerusalem to Those Who were Apostles (Jesus Christ’s Disciples) BEFORE
me; BUT I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus. Then, AFTER Three (3) Years I went up to
Jerusalem to see Peter, and
remained with him (Peter) Fifteen (15) Days. But I SAW
NONE of The Other Apostles EXCEPT James, The LORD’s (Half) Brother.
Fellow Believers, as We
can see, Holy Bible Prophecy Describes The Destruction of The City of Damascus,
During The End Times (The Last Days), and Holy Bible Prophecy MUST BE FULFILLED! Damascus has a Special Place in Our Hearts,
because it was visited by Jesus Christ’s Disciples, including Saul (who became
Paul), and it was while Saul (Paul) was IN Damascus that He (Saul/Paul)
RECEIVED The Revelation OF Jesus Christ!
So, We feel sorrow for Damascus, because
of its’ connection to Us, but please find comfort in These FACTS:
We KNOW, We Will BE IN GOD Almighty’s
Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy
Angels, and All The Rest of The Children of GOD Almighty, for Eternity,
Forever.
Revelation
3:10
Because YOU (Believers)
have KEPT My (Jesus Christ’s) COMMAND TO Persevere, I (Jesus Christ) ALSO Will
KEEP YOU (Believers) FROM The HOUR OF TRIAL, which shall COME UPON The Whole
World (Satan’s World), TO TEST Those (Unbelievers) who dwell on The Earth.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For The LORD (Jesus
Christ), Himself, Will DESCEND FROM Heaven, WITH A SHOUT, WITH The Voice of an
Archangel, and WITH The TRUMPET OF GOD (GOD Almighty). And The Dead IN Christ (Dead Believers) Will
RISE First. THEN We (Living
Believers) Who ARE ALIVE and REMAIN,
Shall BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER, WITH Them (The Dead IN Christ), IN The Clouds, TO
MEET The LORD (Jesus Christ) IN The AIR.
And Thus We (Believers) Shall ALWAYS BE WITH The LORD (Jesus Christ).
