At the time of the writing of this report President Obama has decided not to go into Syria and he has asked Congress to not vote on taking military action due to an offer that Putin of Russia has made to the USA. Time will tell where all of this leads and we look to the Lord for our answers and in Him we put our trust!
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
This report is based on Jeremiah Chapter 49:23-27 (NKJV)
23 Against Damascus.“ Hamath and Arpad are shamed, For they have heard bad news. They are fainthearted; There is trouble on the sea; It cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus has grown feeble; She turns to flee, And fear has seized her. Anguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in labor.
25 Why is the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy?
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, And all the men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord of hosts.
27 “I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, And it shall consume the palaces of Ben-Hadad.”
Let’s unpack this prophecy that is 3,000 years old and see if we can see glimmers of evidence that this could be in process today…
Verse 23:
- We
can identify without trouble that Damascus is the primary focus here. Hamath and Arpadare are most likely Aleppo
and Homs. Aleppo is the largest city in
Syria. Homs is the third largest city
in Syria. They are heavily populated and are important to Syria’s economy.
- We see here that trouble has come to the sea of Syria. The scripture tells us that they are “fainthearted,” in other words, worried and full of anxiety over this news and more than likely the site of these ships. In today’s world the internet and media, through television, is all that is needed for citizens of an invaded country to see what is actually transpiring. Interesting that the USA and Russian navy’s are standing guard right off the Syrian coast. The term “cannot be quiet” suggests that Syria cannot do anything about this development. They are powerless to change it., thus they are “fainthearted.”
Verse 24:
- Damascus has lost her strength and the citizenry want out. We have seen recently that the people of Damascus are fleeing because of the trouble within her walls. Just like a women who is in labor, her pains seem to grow worse on a daily basis. Worry, fear and anxiety rule within their hearts. This has a tendency to wear one down and sap your strength from you.
Verse 25:
- This is a rhetorical question. God is the reason Jerusalem is not deserted! God has sustained His people and His land and He will continue to do so.
Verse 26:
- In the news we see that the men in Syria have fallen in her streets. We see brother fighting against brother. The Syrian people have used horrible lethal chemicals to kill one another. Should this prophecy be in process now the Lord may allow a nuclear strike against Damascus. This would “cut-off” the men of war. The use of heavy chemical weapons within a relatively small confined area or nuclear weapons would cause military personnel to avoid an area due to contamination.
Verse 27:
- If
the U.S. did strike Syria it is conceivable that Syria would strike Israel. If
Israel’s main centers in Tel Aviv are hit hard all bets would be off and Israel
would strike Syria, Damascus with a crushing nuclear blow that would turn
Damascus into rubble. Israel would be sure to take out the “king of Syria,” Assad as
well. We can theorize that this could happen because of Israel’s Samson Option [ special note 1 | special note 2 ] that
states that in the case Israel is under lethal attack, she would strike back at
her enemy with all the power and might she has. Israel has no issue with bringing her enemies down with her if need be!
Another school of thought is that the rebels possess some of Syria’s chemical weapons and they used these against the people of Syria to draw the USA into a war in the ME that would result in an attack against Israel by her Arab enemies.
Should a chemical attack happen again or someone in the ME attack Israel, you can bet that we could see a major war develop and it could be the Psalm 83 war that would end in a total victory for Israel and the enlargement of her borders!
In conclusion, what we see developing in Syria could be the prelude to the Psalm 83 war, this could lead to the rise of the Antichrist and a peace “confirmation” between Israel and her enemies. I believe this will eventually give way, to the Daniel "Confirmation of Peace," in the middle of a seven year agreement, as the Prophet Daniel revealed in Daniel 9, 11 and 12, the Great Tribulation, also refered to as "The Time of Jacobs Trouble," see Jeremiah 30 and that will conclude by bring about God’s Wrath on the inhabitants of planet earth.
I point out to my readers that when it comes to prophecy we usually find out “after” the fact that God has fulfilled a particular prophecy and we are almost always surprised and experience what I call, a spiritual “aha moment.”
The Lord is most definitely working in awesome ways within our generation and I hope this report helps you to better understand how Jeremiah 49 could be on its way to being a reality in our generation! Let's keep in mind that the Lord has revealed to us things before they have happened to encourage us and to build up our faith. That's how I see the study of prophecy. When I read in about something that the Lord said would happen and I can see in history it happened just as He said it would, my faith is built up and I am encouraged.
John 14:28-29
You have heard Me say to you, 'I am going away and coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, a 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.
We are living in very interesting times and it is time for us to share the good news with those in our centers of influence, that the Lord Jesus (Yeshua) is returning soon! It is also time for us to be praying for the Syrian people and all in the Middle East, Jew and Arab alike, that they will find their Messiah, Jesus Christ. As well, please remember to pray for our fellow Christians in Egypt, Syria and all over the Middle East who are suffering for the cause of Christ and paying the ultimate price with their very lives! Thank you.
Remember, the Lord loves us more than any of us will ever know. After all, He died and shed His blood for us and held nothing back!
Are YOU Prepared? Have YOU put your faith in Jesus Christ? He is coming again real soon. Prepare and believe in Him NOW! Click Here for Details

'But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman's hand.' Ezekiel 33:6
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. 1Thessalonians 5:1-6
“My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of my people or be listed in the records of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD. Because they lead my people astray, saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace …” Ezekiel 13:9-10
Excellent and absolutely true as written in the word, the Holy Scripture, prophetic insight is as written in the holy scripture for over thousands of years.
For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations:thou hath established the earth, and it abideth. They continue this day according to thine ordinances:for all are thy servants. Psalm 119:89-92
