Special Program: The city of Damascus is being destroyed (Isaiah 17:1)

The Syrian Civil War "In March 2011 Syria’s government, led by Pres. Bashar al-Assad, faced an unprecedented challenge to its authority when pro-democracy protests erupted throughout the country. Protesters demanded an end to the authoritarian practices of the Assad regime, in place since Assad’s father became president in 1971. The Syrian government used violence to suppress demonstrations, making extensive use of police, military, and paramilitary forces. Amateur footage and eyewitness accounts, the primary sources of information in a country largely closed to foreign journalists, showed the Syrian security forces beating and killing protesters and firing indiscriminately into crowds. Opposition militias began to form in 2011, and by 2012 the conflict had expanded into a full-fledged civil war." (Encylopedia Britannica Online)  Since March 2011, Damascus has been going through a gradual destruction. Major news media are not reporting this. However, it appears that the Biblie prophecy about Damascus no longer being a city is in the process of being fulfullied. Yeshua (Jesus) told His believers to watch events so that we will not be caught off guard and to make sure we are obeying His commandments and instructions so we can be worthy to escape the horrible events that will occur in these end times (Luke 21:34-36; Mark 13:33-37).
