Isaiah Chapter 17 Discussion

Damascus was a place mentioned several times in Old Testament, Genesis 14:15, Genesis 15:2, 2Samuel 8:5,6, 1Kings 11:1-25, 1Kings 19:14-18, 1Kings 20, 2Chronicles 16,

2Kings 5,

2Kings 8, notice 2Kings 8:12,13, 2Chronicles 24:23, 2Chronicles 28:5,23,

Isaiah 7:8,9, Isaiah 8:4, Isaiah 10:9, Isaiah 17, James 1:5,

In the New Testament it's the road to Damascus was the place of Saul's conversion to Paul: Acts 9, Acts 22, Acts 26, it's symbolic to many Christians as a turning point in Christian faith.

Hopefully these are helpful in your study

Who or what does Damascus represent?

Hopefully these help.

Psalms 37,

Psalm 139,

1 John 4:18

Christ knows all events, past present and future. As helpless saved creatures His children surrender and expect all things to work for their good. We should apply this verse to our troubles we face. The robbers, rioters and businesses burners, are allowed to afflict it on hard working loyal obeying citizens. These rioters are being paid and encouraged by the NEW WORLD ORDER. These are brute beasts depicted in Peter and Jude, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

"Sin desolates cities. It is strange that great conquerors should take pride in being enemies to mankind; but it is better that flocks should lie down there, than that they should harbour any in open rebellion against God and holiness. The strong holds of Israel, the kingdom of the ten tribes, will be brought to ruin. Those who are partakers in sin, are justly made partakers in ruin. The people had, by sins, made themselves ripe for ruin; and their glory was as quickly cut down and taken away by the enemy, as the corn is out of the field by the husbandman. Mercy is reserved in the midst of judgment, for a remnant. But very few shall be marked to be saved. Only here and there one was left behind. But they shall be a remnant made holy. The few that are saved were awakened to return to God. They shall acknowledge his hand in all events; they shall give him the glory due to his name. To bring us to this, is the design of his providence, as he is our Maker; and the work of his grace, as he is the Holy One of Israel. They shall look off from their idols, the creatures of their own fancy. We have reason to account those afflictions happy, which part between us and our sins. The God of our salvation is the Rock of our strength; and our forgetfulness and unmindfulness of him are at the bottom of all sin. The pleasant plants, and shoots from a foreign soil, are expressions for strange and idolatrous worship, and the vile practices connected therewith. Diligence would be used to promote the growth of these strange slips, but all in vain. See the evil and danger of sin, and its certain consequences."

Mishael

What does it mean that very few will not be marked to live I am praying for understanding of his words as I read them

Why the wrath of GOD came upon the above ? 10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, .... .... Note, 2020 is the identical twin to the above, nevertheless SALVATION is made available to us through John 3:16 -21 .

FROM NOW THE END BEGINS: "Mideast In Uproar After US-Linked Oil Tanker Reportedly Struck By A Torpedo While Passing Through The Gulf Of Oman Earlier Today It comes as tensions in the Persian Gulf between the United States and Iran are threatening to reach boiling point. In recent weeks, Washington has sent a number of battleships to the region in response..." Cor!

I think that God is upset of the thing that is happen in the world and he is telling to search our life to see were we are in chist that when he come we are ready we thing of thing to get us rich and we for get abot what is importion

We have removed ourselves from not only the bible but from God as well.

The prophecy came true in Syria 😰

Thank You Father our Lord our Saviour, Christ Jesus, for Your Word. Amen. The prophecy of this chapter is happening today before our very eyes. Syria is destroyed, people are fleeing when allowed and the United Nations are rushing to the diplomacy table, appearing to seek peace. Arise LORD and have mercy on the people: all for Your glory. Let our days here be few. In Christ Jesus we live! Amen

This verse is related too this verse...are days on earth are like grass and wild flowers, we bloom then die.

This chapter seems to be revealing what is happening in Syria today. ISIS is causing a massive exodus of Syrians see chapter one - Damascus capital of Syria is taken away from being a city.

This prophetic chapter is coming true in our days

I am for sure that this Chapter is about the woe upon this earth. That we to need listen to God so that we will know what is about to come to us so we can be ready for him that he will fight for us If we are for his Son Jesus and have his blood apply to our heart.

It 's 3 30AM 04 11 14 The Holy Spirit spoke to me concerning Chapter 17 of Isaiah and to look at it from the standpoint of the Psalms 83 war. Chronology is a major problem when trying to line up the wars mentioned in Psalms, Isaiah and Ezekiel 38,39. The fact that Psalms 83 might trigger the Rapture and the 83 war along with the start of the Tribulation Period. It seems that the 83 war could be tied in with the facts of Isaiah 17...I am still praying about under standing the three places in Scripture of wars concerning eschatology. Any comments would be greatly appreciated...G d Bless....JEB

I think it is a timely message for this hour. We need to have respect for God.

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!

Yes, certainly this is coming to reality. Jesus said, I am coming Rev 22:12, so brothers and sisters
of all nation, let us not forget the creator of the universe so that YHWH will not scattered us but gather us in his arm for eternal life. Syaloom

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.

Jesus is the name above all names. You can call Him Jesus and He will know who you are talking about. He created the languages. Also, you will read in Revelation 9:11 "in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon." (KJV) Some say that we should only call JESUS by "Yeshua" but we see here that a name can mean the exact same thing in two different languages. He knows His name in English I guarntee you.

He that endures to the end shall be saved. AMEN
This is a good time to be pressing in to Jesus as
the allienment of this prophecy is about to be fulfled. Look up your redemption draweth nigh!

Prophet of GOD YHWH

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.

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.

Will come true soon.
Hosea 6:2
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Deuteronomy 30:6
And the LORD thy God will cir***cise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

This scripture will be fulfilled in 2013.

Here is a perfect answers to all Israel adversaries, for Hashem shall fight the battle for us against all the nations that shall conspire to fight against Israel , either of the Arab world nor of the united nation, �Yahweh is our strength� The salvation of Israel�
