Syria

[Banoodle]

What does the Bible say about the current situation in Syria?

I think there is a possibility that a massive war is about to break out in the middle east. With Israel and most of the western nations against Syria and Iran and whoever decides to join in. This could be a new world war.

 

[Alvis]

I know Jesus and the Christian bible, the new testament, say nothing of it.

 

[parsley]

I'm finding a lot of people reading Isaiah, and seeing parallels.

Notice that Syria can have different borders and names through history, including the towns.

There's Damascus of course, the Euphrates, the Great Sea (Mediterranean)... this page goes into more detail. Remember that Israel had regional and political opponents at the time of writings, and statements are made about countries that pertain to past invasions and tensions. These do not necessarily relate to how Judeo-Christians feel about Syria today, or citizens of Syria.
