Rebel forces in Syria reported 1,100 deaths caused by Bashar al-Assad's chemical assault against rebels and civilians.

Britain and the United States are planning reprisal air strikes against the Syrian government and military forces due to their heinous chemical attacks against civilians. Britain responded promptly with battle ships and the US naval forces are also moving closer to Syria.

Syrian “top brass” are sending their families out of the country, and Reuters reported today that “President Bashar al-Assad’s forces appear to have evacuated most personnel from army and security headquarters in central Damascus in preparation for a Western military strike.” 

In the meantime, Vladimir Putin is a staunch supporter of Assad and Russian ships have been transporting armament to Syrian government forces. Russia has concentrated five landing ships in the eastern Mediterranean in a show of force meant to deter Western nations from intervening militarily in Syria, reported Sunday Times.

Bible prophecy is unfolding before our eyes, for the Word of God says,

“The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city and it shall be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are forsaken, they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down and none shall make them afraid” Isaiah 17:1-2.

Damascus, which is largely populated by government forces, shall become a ruinous heap, according to Isaiah’s prophecy, and that is likely to happen shortly.

Damascus is one of the world’s oldest inhabited cities. Why do you suppose this prophecy is coming to pass now? The Lord intends retribution against Damascus of old because of their disobedience and rebellion against God and against His people, Israel.   

The prophet Jeremiah also prophesied against Damascus,

“Damascus is waxed feeble and turns herself to flee and fear has seized on her, anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail. How is the city of praise not left, the city of My joy! Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets and all the young men of war shall be cut off in that day (latter days), says the Lord of Hosts” Jeremiah 49:24-26.

If your faith in God is shaky, you may want to read the Word of God to strengthen yourself spiritually. You will see that hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled throughout thousands of years and not one of them will fail.

We are living in the latter days, according to Bible prophecy, friends. Are you prepared to face God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth? If not, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website. There is no time to waste and your eternal destiny depends on it. God bless you.
