What I am saying is Damascus still exists as a city so your denial of the fact is a delusion fostered by the heretical preterist doctrine.
I agree with you Handmaid. I didn't read every reply here, but i think what Isaiah 17 is talking about didn't happen yet. And i question if this is the right time or place to even talk about it. Because i think it's close, too close to talk about. That deal about be silent before the Lord, be silent before the Day of the Lord.
Because that's what it is. Verse 4 uses the phrase "that day", And in that day.
"And in that day the glory of Jacob will be brought low,
"In that day man will look to his Maker,
and his eyes will look on the Holy One of Israel.
"In that day their strong cities will be like the deserted places of the wooded heights and the hilltops, which they deserted because of the children of Israel, and there will be desolation.
"At evening time, behold, terror!
Before morning, they are no more!
I think it's about ready to let go as Paul's sudden destruction. I think we're way deeper into the Revelation, more than half way through chapter 13, and not too many people know it. The composite beast has opened it's mouth and continues to blaspheme God and His dwelling place and those who live in Heaven.
So it's a spooky thing to consider. And when people get scared, they shift into denial. The last two threads i wrote a note on were either locked up or deleted. And the 9/11 topic from the other day has vanished. I missed what was up with that one. But what i did see of it, saw that they missed that there is not only a comet, but also now a newly discovered asteroid that will both make their perihelion's on 9/11.
Happy Yom Teruah.
Peaceful Rosh Hashanah.
And i hope we don't feast on a banquet of trumpets.
The September 11 Comet,
Comet 21P/ Giacobini–Zinner:
"And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say,
Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
That word for "pale" horse, also means GREEN.

Comet Giacobini–Zinner (official designation: 21P/Giacobini–Zinner) is a periodic comet in the Solar System.
It was discovered by Michel Giacobini (from Nice, France), who observed the comet in the constellation of Aquarius on December 20, 1900. It was recovered two passages later by Ernst Zinner (from Bamberg, Germany) while observing variable stars near Beta Scuti on October 23, 1913.
During its apparitions, Giacobini–Zinner can reach about the 8th magnitude, but in 1946 it underwent a series of outbursts that made it as bright as 5th magnitude. It is
-> the parent body of the Giacobinids meteor shower (also known as the Draconids).
The comet currently has an Earth-MOID of 0.035 AU (5,200,000 km; 3,300,000 mi).[1]
Giacobini–Zinner was the target of the International Cometary Explorer spacecraft, which passed through its plasma tail on September 11, 1985.
And now a newly discovered asteroid. Two witnesses for 911.
Newly Discovered Football Field-Sized Asteroid to Fly By Earth on September 11.
A newly detected asteroid the size of a football field is expected to pass by the Earth on Tuesday, September 11 at around 4:05 UTC. The space rock, designated 2018 QU1, will miss our planet with a relative velocity of 12.5 km/s at a distance of about 10.9 lunar distances (LD), what corresponds to 4.18 million kilometers.
2018 QU1 is an Apollo-type asteroid discovered August 30 by the Asteroid Terrestrial-Impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) at the Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO), Hawaii. It is an astronomical survey system for detection of dangerous asteroids a few weeks to days before their close approaches to Earth.
According to astronomers, 2018 QU1 has an absolute magnitude of 22.8 and a diameter of about 100 meters. This near-Earth object (NEO) has a semimajor axis of about 1.88 AU and it takes it approximately two and a half years to fully orbit the sun.
Previous close approach of 2018 QU1 to Earth occurred on January 4, 1931, when it passed at a distance of some 50 LD (19.2 million kilometers). No future fly-bys of this object to our planet are currently predicted by astronomers.
