Others have presented history about the fulfillment of this prophecy from reliable sources. I think many undermine Middle East Peace by misapplying already fulfilled prophecies to the future.Can you give proof that this prophecy has been fulfilled? The prophecy of Isaiah is the Word of God. To say it was fulfilled long ago is denying God's word. We see Damascus as a city with the reputation of being the world's longest continuously inhabited city. Now either God's Word that says that Damascus shall no longer be a city is the truth, or Your assertion that it has already been fulfill is the truth. Both cannot be the truth.
Now to the charge of encouraging innocent bloodshed in the Middle East by "dredging up" old prophecies.Who are you to speak against the Word of God? The Word of God is written afore time for our learning. Furthermore your opinion of God's Word does not invalidate it.
That is what I would think.......Dave L said: ↑

Already happened long long ago.Isaiah 17:1 Damascus will cease to be a city, she will be reduced to a heap of ruins forever desolate. Animals will live there, undisturbed.
Jeremiah 49:23-27 Of Damascus: The Syrians are covered in confusion, for they have heard news of a coming disaster, they run around in fear and trembling and panic grips them. No more joyful songs or celebrations are heard in her streets, because on that Day her young men will fall and soldiers will lie still in death. The Lord says; I will kindle a fire inside Damascus and it will devour her strongholds.
Amos 1:3-4 For crime after crime of Damascus, I will give them no reprieve because they oppressed My Land with malicious spite. Therefore I will send fire to consume her strongholds.
Zechariah 9:1-2 The Word of the Lord comes to the lands north of Israel and it will soon come upon Damascus. For to the Lord belongs all of that area and even though the cities of Lebanon have become rich, He will strip them of all their possessions and break their power. A devastating fire will devour them all.
Ref: REB. Some verses abridged and paraphrased.
All these prophecies tell of the soon to happen destruction of Damascus, Syria.
Note that in all cases, they go on to talk of other nations who are also affected by this fire judgement. Isaiah 66:16 In particular Isaiah 17:4-6 says how Jacob, that is: the 10 tribes of Israel- now the Western nations and the 2 tribes of Judah now the current State of Israel, will lose their strength. It seems that most of the world’s military forces will be destroyed. Isaiah 34:2-3, Hosea 2:18, Micah 5:10-11
Although the Sixth Seal, the next prophesied event to happen according to the sequence in Revelation, does not mention fire as the means of punishment, [there is nothing in Revelation 6:12-17 to say how it will be carried out] we can ascertain the details from parallel passages like: Isaiah 34:2-4, Isaiah 2:12-21, Joel 2:1-11, Malachi 4:1 and especially 2 Peter 3:7 & 10.
Notice in Jeremiah 49:23, how everyone knows what is coming. This can be explained by the 24 hour period between the initial flash of a Coronal Mass Ejection explosion of the suns surface and the arrival of the main mass of superheated plasma. Ezekiel 7:10-19
That it will be a single Day of destruction is confirmed by the use in every case of the Hebrew and Greek words for a 24 hour period and this fits how a CME will hit the earth and then continue on into outer space. Isaiah 63:4, Joel 1:15

Just reading those prophesies, proves you wrong, Dave L.Already happened long long ago.
This prophecy was fulfilled a long time ago. We should not encourage innocent bloodshed in the Middle East dredging up old prophecies for crackpots to justify their actions with.

The people of God since Jesus Ascended, are every born again Christian person, Jew and Gentile; faith is the criteria. Galatians 6:14-16The prophecies all refer to a time when Israel was God's people. The Zionist imposters are neither Hebrews genetically nor do they serve or even believe in God. The have reduced Christians in the land to 2nd class citizens and persecute Torah believing Jews.
How much evidence does one need to remove the scales of deception. This is the work of the Antichrist and all these quoted biblical references are entirely disassociated from this antichrist enclave now called Israel.
Israel was the 10 disobedient tribes.. they went into captivity and can never possibly return. This is lunacy... even for gullible Christians
Amos 9:9 They will be gathered and brought back to the holy Land, but only the faithful ones will enter it. Ezekiel 20:34-38, Isaiah 35:1-10, Romans 9:24-26
So is Jerusalem that the Romans leveled in 70 AD.Ok,i just read a very long history of damascus and its occupants throughout history.
It is called quote"one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world".
