A Prophecy of Isaiah Waiting for Fulfillment
We have another prophecy from Isaiah that has yet to be fulfilled. He describes the city of Damascus as ruined and in desolation. Today, Damascus is a thriving city in Syria. This particular prediction involves Syria and ten of the tribes of Israel in an alliance that ends in both coming to ruin. Will we see this happen? It is possible if we are at the end of the end times, which many believe we are.
The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts. Isaiah 17:3
A remnant from the ten tribes will escape. Some commentators believe the ten tribes could be the people of the U.S., but that remains a theory. Who knows? What I do know is that many of the theories that fuel conspiracies have proven true. We will have to wait and see for this one.
A point that is of use for us today is that when you forget God, it’s the beginning of sin, and forgetting God will destroy you.
Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips: Isaiah 17:10
Those who think they can get away with harming the people of God can expect to get exactly what they deserve and come to ruin.
And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us. Isaiah 17:14
