There is nothing more I want than to simply be in the presence of my gracious loving KING. Yet this morning as I earnestly sought Jesus’ face just to be with Him, I believe He was encouraging me to look deeper into the subject of Damascus. I don’t think it was my mind wandering because, as I said, I simply wanted to bask in His gloriousness.
What was coming into my mind is this—WILL WE SEE A
SUPERNATURAL DESTRUCTION OF DAMASCUS before the United Nations declares “peace
and safety”?
Beloved in the Lord, God has graciously revealed Pre-Rapture
Events to many of us and yet the puzzle pieces keep coming! To be honest, aligning
them with Scripture and putting them in the correct order is boggling my
limited brain. So bear with me, because it appears there truly will be a GREAT
CONVERGENCE of events surrounding the Rapture and Isaiah 17:1 is part of it!
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away
from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. - Isaiah 17:1 KJV
So where does Damascus fit in?
It is looking more and more like the Isaiah 17:1 destruction
of Damascus, Syria, could trigger the rest of the Rapture Dominoes. Scripture
seems to indicate this event is closely tied to the end of the Summer harvest
and to the fall of Babylon. Phillip Barnett has prophesied Isaiah 17:1 will
happen prior to the Rapture (see Pre-Rapture
events by Pastor Phillip Barnett ).
Today it was my turn to take the Road to Damascus--look at
where the Holy Spirit led me:
1—Damascus is where Saul’s eyes were opened
The last Old Testament verse mentioning this city is:
The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach[a part
of Syria, near Damascus] and Damascus [shall be] the rest thereof: when
the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, [shall be] toward the LORD. -
Zechariah 9:1 KJV
This Scripture
verse ties Damascus with when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of
Israel, [shall be] toward the LORD!
Could it be that the Holy Spirit is telling us Damascus will
be used again to turn the eyes of the tribes of Israel and the rest of the
world toward the LORD? This may be the case, for then in the Book of Acts this
city is the central stage for the conversion of Saul to Paul! In other words, a Jew among Jews
became a Christian while in the City of Damascus!
The first instance of Damascus being mentioned in the New
Testament is when Saul sought to persecute the Christians there:
And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues,
that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might
bring them bound unto Jerusalem. - Acts 9:2 KJV
AND guess which city Saul was in when his eyes were opened
and he received Jesus Christ as His Lord? Yes, Damascus again!
Men, brethren, and fathers, hear
ye my defence [which I make] now unto you.
I am verily a man [which am] a
Jew, born in Tarsus, [a city] in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the
feet of Gamaliel, [and] taught according to the perfect manner of the law of
the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
And I persecuted this way unto
the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
As also the high priest doth
bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received
letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there
bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
And it came to pass, that, as I
made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there
shone from heaven a great light round about me.
And I fell unto the ground, and
heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
And I answered, Who art thou,
Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
And they that were with me saw
indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that
spake to me.
And I said, What shall I do,
Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it
shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
And when I could not see for the
glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came
into Damascus.
And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. - Acts 9:17 KJV
And one Ananias, a devout man
according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt [there],
Came unto me, and stood, and
said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up
upon him. Acts 22:1; 22:3-13
So Saul, who became Paul (Acts 13:9) upon his conversion to
Christ in Damascus, foreshadows the opening of the eyes of all Israel towards
the true Messiah; and, I believe, the destruction of Damascus is the turning
event towards Jacob’s Trouble when the eyes of the Jews will be opened (Matthew 24:15-16, 21-22; Jeremiah 30:7)!
2—Damascus is where Elijah returned to ministry
Everything happening in the world
seems to be seeking to end our lives just as Jezebel was seeking to end
Elijah’s.
As pointed out in the article 1
Kings 19: The Renewal of Elijah, the structure of 1
Kings 19 is a carefully crafted chiasm beginning with the prophet
Elijah fleeing from the world and prophetic ministry but ending with him
returning to the world and prophetic ministry!
And the LORD said unto him, Go,
return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint
Hazael [to be] king over Syria: And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint
[to be] king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt
thou anoint [to be] prophet in thy room. - 1
Kings 19:15-16 KJV
Here we see a connection of
Elijah’s return to ministry with Damascus. This could be prophetic
foreshadowing of Elijah’s return to earth at the destruction of Damascus as
many have taught that Elijah is one of the Two Witnesses who will be on earth
during the first half of the Tribulation. From THE
WIND, THE FIRE, & THE BRIDE
3—The fall of Damascus is associated with the Middle East grape harvest in August-September-October
You plant your
grapevines one day and try to make them grow,
and the next day
[in the morning] you make them blossom.
But at harvest
time everything will be dead [the harvest will be a
heap/disaster];
a sickness will kill all the plants
[in the day of disease and incurable pain]. Isaiah
17:11 Expanded Bible
The King James Version does not use the word grapevines but this verse is referring to everything that is grown in the Middle East dying [the harvest will be a heap/disaster]; a sickness will kill all the plants.
In the day shalt
thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to
flourish: [but] the harvest [shall be] a heap in the day of grief and of
desperate sorrow. - Isaiah 17:11 KJV
So what kills the harvest? Most believe it is radiation from
a nuclear attack, HOWEVER, as I wrote in Damascus Event then Rapture by July 2025?—
Isaiah 17:1 may be an attack using a non-nuclear device because of what verse 3 says. In a video by Perry Stone, at the 16:50 mark he explains why he does not believe nuclear weaponry will be used on Damascus. In that video, 2025 Damascus Prophecies | Episode #1272 | Perry Stone says some other type of WMD must be going to be used because Isaiah 17:3 foretells of a remnant who survive!
The burden of Damascus. Behold,
Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
- Isaiah
17:1 KJV
The fortress also shall cease
from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria:
they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of
hosts. - Isaiah
17:3 KJV
 |
| The “Ruinous HeapS” of DAMASCUS |
Is Perry Stone correct? Will the ruin of Damascus be
NON-nuclear? Did you also notice that the word “heap” was used again?
Isaiah 17:1 says Damascus shall be a ruinous heap and Isaiah 17:11 says the
harvest [shall be] a heap.
Also in that video Perry goes on to
read Isaiah
17:12-14 and says THE NATIONS WILL BE ANGRY! This would align with
what I have said—that the nations would become enraged at Israel (and America
as well since we are allies) for the demise of Damascus and force the Two-State
Solution on them!
Woe to the multitude of many
people, [which] make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of
nations, [that] make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! - Isaiah
17:12 KJV
The nations shall rush like the
rushing of many waters: but [God] shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far
off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and
like a rolling thing before the whirlwind. - Isaiah
17:13 KJV
And behold at eveningtide
trouble; [and] before the morning he [is] not. This [is] the portion of them
that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us. - Isaiah
17:14 KJV

| Act of God! 4-8 and the Rapture Sign Line |
It is possible that the fall of Damascus will be due to
an act of God!
Stan Deyo explains how there are volcanic vents in Syria that emit small magma eruptions and have done so over thousands of years forming mounds of black volcanic stone that are referred to colloquially as "ruinous heaps"!
The Scriptures might be inferring that though the elite have their plan perhaps it will be an act of God where a volcanic eruption causes Damascus to no longer be inhabitable instead of a nuclear attack.
Adding to this possibility is the recent news on June 16 of two earthquakes erupting in Iran. People are wondering whether earthquakes are being caused by Iran carrying out underground nuclear tests or if Israeli strikes on nuclear facilities is also a cause.
The truth is that we are seeing the region rocked with more and more earthquakes such as the one that brought devastation to Turkey and Syria in 2023. Earthquaketrack.com reports there have been 705 earthquakes just in the past 365 days in the Middle East.
If an earthquake or volcanic activity is the cause for the destruction of Damascus, the nations will automatically blame Israel, Stan says.
So true! If either scenario plays
out, it is easy to picture the Two-State Solution dominoes falling into place
afterwards leading to the Rapture!!! Very soon after the
Two-State Solution is announced the Great
Shaking will begin. This tumultuous Wild
Ride will cause people to call on God and want to understand what is
happening making them open to hearing the message of salvation through Jesus
Christ. (Related: The Lord gave me a
Dream about a Massive 10.0 Earthquake Splitting the USA in Half on the New
Madrid) [Excerpt from The
“Ruinous HeapS” of DAMASCUS]
SO WILL IT BE AN ACTUAL WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION (WMD) OR
AN ACT OF GOD TO FULFILL ISAIAH 17:1?
WILL THIS HAPPEN AROUND THE SEPTEMBER 2025 WINDOW OF THE UNITED
NATIONS MEETING?
The Middle East grape harvest has likely already begun so IF
Isaiah 17:1 is to be fulfilled THIS grape harvest season, Those in Christ will
witness it THIS AUTUMN (In
general, grapes in Israel are harvested from late August to early October.
However, some varieties may be harvested earlier or later, depending on their
ripening time.)
The importance of grapes and olives
is illustrated by the fact that the Essenes had wine and oil firstfruits
festivals similar to the biblical firstfruits offering for grain. These
festivals also indicate the relative timing of these crops. The new wine festival
came 50 days or seven weeks after Pentecost. Until new wine was offered, no one
could drink any of the new juice. . . archive.gci.org
How fortuitous for the UN if Damascus is destroyed just
prior to (or even soon after) the UN General Assembly September 22-29 meetings
so they can then blame Israel (whether or not they are responsible for it) and
have solid reasoning for imposing the Two-State Solution. Only God knows
whether this is the scenario or not.
But if it is, it may coincide with the Fall Feast of the
Lord, Rosh Hashanah, which begins this year at sunset September 22 and ends at nightfall
September 24.

| Mayflower Compact, document signed on the English ship Mayflower on November 11, 1620. |
As our Brother at End Times: Darkness Descending explains in THE “PILGRIM” PSALMS OF ASCENSION AND THE 400-YEAR 2020 PARALLEL, “America’s 400th year anniversary of the arrival of the Pilgrims seems to correspond to the 400 years that the ancient Israelites were in the bondage of ancient Egypt. When the 400th year came, it was time for them to be delivered – thus it was a typology of the departure (rapture) of the Church being delivered from this world.”
In line with this would be the Azovmena prophecies through
Phillip Barnett that on NOVEMBER
11 (or 11-11) nuclear war between Russia and the United States will take place!
No year was given, but the Lord told him the reason it will start then is
because it is the date that the Mayflower
Compact—the covenant made between America and God over 400 years ago—took place.
"Whatever year the Rapture takes place, then a couple
of months later on November 11th, World War III takes place." (Excerpt
from Damascus
Event then Rapture by July 2025?)
If the Rapture does occur “a couple of months” prior to
November, what month is that? September!
NUMEROUS VOLCANOS AND FAULT LINES ARE AWAKENING AT
ONCE around the world so I’m watching to see how Isaiah 17:1 will be
fulfilled—WMD or act of God.

Until new wine was offered, no one could drink any of the new juice. Jesus promised He would not drink any until He was with us:
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this
fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's
kingdom. - Matthew 26:29 KJV
Here’s hoping we will be drinking new fruit of the vine
with our Bridegroom this harvest season—
