    Karl for verse 1
    I started reading the book of Isaiah today and when I came to 17:1 I had a flash back to the news last night, there was video of the total destruction in the streets of Damascus and all the suffering with it. I believe this scripture was referring to events now. waiting for the return of our King!

    I think they'll bomb it to ruins, there are no nukes just cold war jargon.
    There needs to be a peace treaty presided by the many as in Daniel, so I don't believe this is the gog/magog war from the north although gog and magog and the papacy are involved.
    It's the catalyst for their false peace treaty of 7 years.

    ARTHUR for verse 1
    IT SHALL BECOME A RUINOUS HEAP, AT DARK TROUBLE, THEN MORNING A RUINOUS HEAP, SURROUNDING CITIES DESERTED. DONT SEEM LIKE PRESENT DESTRUCTION FROM WITHIN. RADIATION WILL CAUSE EVACUATION AND NONE WILL LIVE THERE, ANIMALS WILL INHABIT THESE AREAS. WHO IS GONNA DO IT? IF A THREAT TO ISRAEL, THEN GUESS WHO.

    Daveed for verse 1
    I was reading Isaiah today, I then came to Isaiah 17:1 and when I started to read the verse it hit me like a brick, it came to me that Damascus is becoming an ruinous heap by its own people.

    I and many others have presumed that Israel would nuke Damascus, are we wrong? I believe so. If we look at the News videos, photographs we see that Damascus coming a ruinous heap from within.
