The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the Lord.
According to Isaiah 17:1 Damascus shall become a ruinous heap. There will be a highway; nonetheless in the last days according to Isaiah 19:23 there will be a highway from Assyria into Egypt which encompasses part of Syria; Turkey; and a couple other nations. Isaiah 17:3 states the rest of Syria will be as the glory of Israel. No doubt there will finally be peace among the survivors of the surronding nations.
The destruction of Tyre is also mentioned in Ezekiel 26 and 27 (along with the prince of Tyre and king of Tyre in chapter 28 signifying a human and Lucifer controlling things behind the scenes with his history). This prophecy was partly fulfilled; as to some of the details which I won't elaborate on here.
The same could be said for the Philistines and others mentioned in verses 5 through 7; verse 8 shows the Lord's conquering and control in the future.
Verse 9 is a direct prophecy of Christ riding on a donkey during Palm Sunday and signifies hi eventual rule on earth. His dominion from sea to sea is also in Psalm 72:8 and was a popular hymn of Sir Arthur Sullivan as seen in verse 10.
The rest of the chapter talks about prisoners being brought forth; interestingly it mentions the "blood of the covenant" in verse 11. That shows the King of Kings here but apparently can refer to the earlier promises from the Abrahamic covenant. We see the final blessings here in the last verse for the whole earth; and God's majesty in deliverance of prisioners and over all the enemies of the land. Verse 13 mentions the sons of Greece which certainly had some fulfillment in the book of Maccabees but could indicate some areas near where Antichrist rules from as being conquered with prisoners set free also.
Actually God didn't destroy the temple to point to the Messiah and motivate them to turn to Jesus.
He gave them the Prophets, Moses and signs pointing them to his coming throughout the OT.
That was Johns mission to prepare the way for him that was Prophesied to come.
In Daniel 9:25 Daniel gave them a mathematical prophecy of his coming on the day he was to present himself as king.
He did just that fulfilling Daniels prophecy and Zechariah 9:9.
Jesus held them accountable in Luke 19:41-44 for not acknowledging this.
"And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, AT LEAST IN THIS THY DAY, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; BECAUSE THOU KNOWEST NOT THE TIME OF THY VISITATION.
However all this was in God's plan from the beginning.
It wasn't a plan A and B.
The bible clearly tells us the veil will be moved off of Israel heart and they will turn to the Lord.
Here is my understanding of the timeline given to Israel in Daniel's people in Daniel 9:24-27 and also how it associates with Matthew 23, Matthew 24. Romans 11 and so on. I might add a few more as I go.
Daniel 9:24
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city,
to finish the transgression,
and to make an end of sins,
and to make reconciliation for iniquity,
and to bring in everlasting righteousness,
and to seal up the vision
and prophecy,
and to anoint the most Holy.
I WILL COME BACK TO vs 24.
Daniel 9:25-26 most agree that this was accomplished but what I think what is important to Know is that it was a dated prophecy, and it was precise in its timing. "from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks"
On occasions in the Gospels they tried to make Jesus king but he would give them the slip because his time has not come yet.
On the triumphal entry he arranged and fulfilled the prophecy riding on a donkey. Zechariah 9:9.
This also fulfilled the dated, mathematical prophecy of Daniel 9:25 on the very day. Read Luke 19:30-44.
LISTEN TO THE LORD HERE IN Luke 19:41-44.
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, AT LEAST IN THIS THY DAY, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; BECAUSE THOU KNEWEST NOT THE TIME OF THY VISITATION.
He fulfilled the prophecies, and they rejected their king and was held accountable.
The LORD is praised and magnified as we learn of HIS will and desire for us. Let us build up our nation by praying for the leadership to lean on the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Thank you LORD for the blessings and daily benefits, for the LORD GOD HIMSELF will blow the trumpet soon and we will experience "... the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.

GOD is Amazing & doesn't cease from amazing me, again & again!! Recently over the past month, I noticed the signs of the "trumpet" blasts, within the WORD. I was researching a question about the gathering. Then I noticed it's significance with the "last trumpet blasts" 1Corinthains 15:52, Revelation 10, starting with the mighty angel clothed in the cloud:" after Revelation 9, explaining the "sixth trumpet blast", Revelation 10:7, Matthew 24:31, Matthew 24:4-39, 1Thessalonians 4:16,17,18
I knew there was more for me to study in the Trumpet blasts. I had also noticed them in Old Testament.
Thank you for your response, it in the least, is directing me back to look & see what GOD is trying to show me. I had also wondered what events had already taken place & working out the other ones.
Thanks I'm looking deeper into it. Thank you also for the comforting words of protection as with also, Zechariah 9:14-16,
In study Tyrus appears to be what the world wants to call 'Atlantis ' even online searches lead that direction. Amos 1:8-10, Zechariah 9:1-4, Ezekiel 27:3-4, Ezekiel 29:18, Ezekiel 26:3-21, hopefully these are helpful
Here's what I believe When Jesus finally ALLOWED them to present him as KING!!
Genesis 49:10-11. THE SCEPTER shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until SHILO come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
( BINDING HIS FOAL UNTO THE VINE, and HIS ASS'S COLT UNTO THE CHOICE VINE; )he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
Zechariah 9:9. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy "KING" cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Daniel 9:25. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the MESSIAH THE PRINCE shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Everything was to be done at the appointed time. Jesus knew they would try to Make him king before the appointed time.
John 6:15. When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. But when the time came he didn't only allow himself to be presented as king he arranged it.
Luke 19:30-31. Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
And then...
Luke 19:37-40. And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, ""THE WHOLE MULTITUDE OF THE DISCIPLES"" began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
saying Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
Fulfilling Zechariah 9:9. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
A time the Jews should have known from the many prophesies. And he met all the criteria
Daniel even gave them a time.
Daniel 9:25. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem UNTO THE MESSIAH THE PRINCE SHALL BE SEVEN WEEKS, AND THREESCORE AND TWO WEEKS: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Jesus needed to live a normal human existence, identifying in every way with His people, with their sufferings, their joys, hopes, doubts, sicknesses, etc. And He could only do this if He came as a Babe, growing up as a young man & fulfilling the Will of God in life & death. ( Hebrews 2:16-18). And even though the people saw Him only as the son of Joseph & Mary ( Matthew 13:55,56), they should have known the Scriptures that spoke of His coming ( Isaiah 7:14; Daniel 9:24-26; Isaiah chaps 52 & 53; Zechariah 9:9, 12:10; & many others).
To your other questions: "what was Christ's victory over?" Ultimately, He was victorious over death & hell; by implication: over sin's penalty & over Satan's power to all who believed. 2 Timothy 1:10; 1 Corinthians 15:25,26 & Revelation 20:14.
And "how did He achieve this victory?" Only by the Cross. What seemed to the world & to Satan as the final death blow to Jesus to be rid of Him, in fact became the very means of salvation to all who would believe on Him. Jesus' resurrection was God's glorious proclamation of His acceptance that sin's price was now fully paid & that all who put their trust in Him would be cleansed by Jesus' Blood, justified, accepted & glorified ( Romans 8:30).
Matthew 21:1-11 is one of several passages. You may like to compare it to Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming Messiah: Zechariah 9:9 and Psalm 118:25,26.
Zechariah 9 v 9 the Donkey and her Colt is symbolic of the world and her Colt the H.G. Our King is coming via the woman and her Child the Kingdom, unless ya receive the Kingdom as a lil child etc our colt ( our fruit unto God th H.G. th Kingdom )salvation. Zech. said he wd have Salvation and a kingdom .When the woman in rev 12 gave birth to the manchild the H.G. John says now is come Salvation and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ etc We are the donkey and our colt is the H.G.She wd have neva been losed had she not birth the colt symbolic of our fruit unto God . Thats y he said my yoke is easy and my burden is light we be the donkey spritually speaking. When the disciples put their clothin on the Donkey implies the Donkey n her colt is US humanity th Church,God so loved the world etc.Everything in the O.T. is a profile a shadow of things coming in the end th last day, the Woman and her CHILD in rev 12 is just Symbolic of the church and her fruit which is the H.G. our colt which is just a shadow of the Kingdom of God and how its gonna come via lil child ( our fruit )our colt etc Thats y he is saying my yoke is easy and my burden is light we be the Donkey spritually speaking, ya put a burden and yoke on a Donkey, or a horse And Zech. is saying rejoice greatly O daughter of Zion for your king ( JESUS OUR KING ) is coming on a donkey and her colt tHE WORLD AND HER OFF SPRING VIA THE NEW BIRTH. Thats y he always refers to himself as the SON OF MAN TH H.G.is our colt our fruit unto God. The woman in Rev 12 is a beautiful picture of the donkey and her colt The white Horse and her rider.The white horse is symbolic of the church that was made white by his blood of the lamb etc. Now is come salvation and the kingdom of our God etc.
There is no formula. The reason all three of the Godhead are mentioned in Matt 28:19 is because the Jews immersed three times. Today we do it once. But the Jews would dunk three times for baptism. They don't why, except Jesus said when you immerse three times, one's in the name of the Father, one's in the name of the Son, and one's in the name of the Holy Spirit. Guess who changed it Constantine! He said if Jesus told them to do it three times, we're only going to do it once just to be different. That's why Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is used in Matt 28:19. But in Acts 2:38, they baptized in the name of Jesus. So now we have this big battle over baptisms, one is Jewish, and one is Gentile.
For Howard Dishmon: I went through that with my Dads death. We were real close. I would wear his shirts and pray to die. If it's not our time, it's not. Slowly I joined the living again. One night I had a dream, in color. It's never faded. He was walking towards me down our family home driveway. He was young, smiling with that eye twinkle I loved. I woke up. Later it was like God had shown me that my Dad was with Him and not destroyed by Alzheimer's anymore. Life continues but our loved ones wait for our arrival there. Why would God break their hearts by allowing loved ones see us struggle, on earth Live. Stay close to God. Ask the Holy Spirit to come alongside you & comfort you.
Do I really have to stay unmarried I left the marriage of 14years he just keeps physically abusing me have children don't want them to think that is ok am I wrong
Diana, I'm not sure what you are referring to with Philip. Acts chapter 8 gives the account of Philip's ministry in Samaria & his meeting with the Ethiopian eunuch on the way to Jerusalem. Philip was not restricted in where he could baptize. Could you elaborate as to what Scripture you saw about this, or your understanding
Jesus allowed Lazarus to die to show His power. He has also healed and delivered others from death during his ministry. Not one of those raised from the dead were given a glorified body...Jesus was the first, and an example for us all. Remember His burden was to redeem mankind from sin and death through His blood.
Lazarus died towards the end of Jesus' ministry. In Jn 11, Lazarus was then raised from the dead & lived a normal life. Unless, he is still miraculously walking amongst us in the 21st Century, I would say he would have died again and was buried. Yet, he still faced another death ( Jn 12:10,11), as the chief priests planned to put him (and Jesus) to death since through Lazarus' resurrection, many Jews began to believe on Jesus. We don't know what happened to him after this, but traditions give us a possibility. He would then have died, possibly in old age & is awaiting his 2nd resurrection (1 Thes 4:15-18). Here is a man well acquainted with death but remained true to the Lord whom he loved.
The only two references that come up are in Joshua 9:5,12; and these are spelt the U.K. way: mould. These references don't give the same application as your references to moth and rust, but to the deception by the Gibeonites when they went to visit Joshua.
I believe this is what you are looking for.
Proverbs 21:9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
Proverbs 21:19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

When someone who has been baptized and lives with praising the lord in there life and they have passed away do they see all things from heaven . I understand that they can look down on you from heaven (there other family members) but do they see all or just good or anything.... don't know where to look in the bible?
Verse 1 states:

He fulfilled the prophecies, and they rejected their king and was held accountable.
