I have heard a lot of Bible teachings on Damascus, but few who speak of it have ever followed through to the end of the entire scripture, as it is written in Isaiah Chapter 17 in the King James Version. Those who preach cherry pick favorite pieces and few there be who follow it to the end.
The Bible tells us of what is to come in the later days. The chapters preceding Isaiah 17 speak of the Day of The Lord and leads into chapter 17, where it speaks of Damascus in the last days as being taken away from being a city and becoming a ruinous heap. Here is where the evangelicals exclaim prophecy is coming to pass. Here is where they claim – look – look at Damascus, it is prophecy being fulfilled right before our eyes. And then they move right on into all sorts of things of end times. (Almost anxious to see Damascus to become a heap.)
They forget to heed the rest of the verses in Isaiah 17. The verses where it says that yes indeed Damascas shall be attacked, but the cities of Aroer are forsaken (which are present day Jordan). It goes on to say that in that day the fortress of Ephraim (present day Great Britain) shall cease. And the kingdom of Damascas and the remnant of Syria shall be as the glory of the Children of Israel.
So what does this mean? It means you had better be on the side of defending Syria and not against her. For this is the time of shaking and the days of the Lord. He is returning and these are the things that must come to past. Damascas is God’s city too.
Read the scriptures for yourself. Amen.
Isaiah 17
17 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. (Aorer is a Biblical town on the north bank of the River Arnon to the east of the Dead Sea, today it is in present-day Jordan. The town was an ancient Moabite settlement.)
3 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.
4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the Lord God of Israel.
7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.
9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, (Jesus the Messiah) therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:
11 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.
12 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!
13 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.
14 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. (Spoil who? Damascas. Whose portion of woe is this? Those that go against and rob them. Do you want to be among this lot? Not I.)

Good – I should certainly pronounce, impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all tabs as well as related information ended up being truly easy to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it in the least. Quite unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or something, website theme . a tones way for your customer to communicate. Excellent task..
I don’t think Donald Trump is so great that he can do these thing either. The people must remember not to give man God’s Glory for he is a jealous God. He shares his glory with no one! I believe Donald Trump is Gods chosen vessel for this mission. I believe God has had his Hand upon him during his life. For with all his money and fame it has not corrupted him. Not Any tiny closet skeleton that can be blown out of proportion has been found. Thats amazing. At first I must admit his ego, boasting, kinda bothered me. After prayer I got peace. He has just the bull-dog personality to do this mission. He is energetic, upbeat, and positive. A winner. I have never heard him speak badly of anyone till they attack him first. I have enjoyed how the Lord has taken every attack he has been hit with and reversed it. Every thing they have done to try and harm him has fell useless at Donald’s feet and came back on the one that did it. Kinda reminds me of Moses & Pharoh. We the people are slaves in bondage. God chose Donald to go before the slave masters. I pray Megyn Kelly doesn’t monitor the debate. I am not a fan of hers but I feel sorry for her. She will be totally embarrassed. She thinks she is a match for Trump’s personality. But she just is not. Her popularity has been over inflated and she is fighting to Regain her popularity. …
It will be interesting to see how everything plays out.
Thank you Dianne for your teaching. I appreciate you replying. After I posted I wondered if I should have. This could be a controversial topic. ….
We seem to be on the same page however you have shared some scripture I have not studying in regards to the rapture. ( I can’t remember for sure) but I think at one time I discovered the word rapture isn’t mentioned in the King James Bible. …..
My belief is God has had his army hidden in my heart I heard in the desert. Which desert I interpreted as meaning (dry, hard , place) training them in warfare, standing on His Word, teaching love, forgiveness, giving, mercy, faith. In other words the fruits of the spirit. This Army will have a Elijah anointing. At the appropriate time they will come forth with their face like flint to fight in the Battle. …….
I may not have it exactly correct but I am confident the Holy Spirt is in control and leading this Army. I’m gonna study the scriptures you posted & thanks again for all your hard work. Love this site I have learned a lot.
As far as will the Lord return before they depopulate us all? There are many scriptures that show that all the evil the evil ones desire to do to his people will come back on their own heads. Also that their will be a great gleaning and tribulations. The Lord said,
Matthew 24:22King James Version (KJV)
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
So no. Their evil will not over ride all of us. Dry bones shall rise up and stand a great and powerful army. I believe we are witnessing that right now in this election. In Revelations, Babylon falls…it tells us the great merchants of the earth weap and mourn for her- and why. Because NO ONE BUYS THEIR GOODS ANYMORE? So….Babylon falls…but ships from afar mourn and the establishment elite weep because no one buys their goods. Does this scripture o Babylon the great not sound like what is taking place now? Revelations 18:3 “For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.”
Rev. 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Does that not sound like the UN global elite’s new world order?
Revelations:18: 9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more.
Then these merchants don’t die…they weep and wail. At least for that moment. Revelations 18:15 15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
But, if you still doubt…the most revealing of all Revelations 18:23 comes right out and tells you “And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.” Today we are seeing that the great merchants of the earth are the puppet masters behind the global take over…we are witnessing their evil plots with TTIP, TPA, the attempt to merge the world into one big tyrannical rule. Yet in Isaiah it tells us that their palace of foreigners shall never be built. And it confirms in Revelations that they go down. The world does not end ….but Babylon the great falls and God’s people are told to come out of her. It is my belief that if we are given mercy…as he has promised, and that if we are to come out of her that we are also given the means to do so.
I believe Trump is a leader sent to show God’s people how to come out of her and not partake in her evil….He is standing against Babylon the great and all who oppose him are falling off the rails. I do not believe that Donald Trump is so great that he can do these things…I believe that GOD IS GREAT AND HE IS DOING THESE THINGS FOR DONALD TRUMP AND GOD’S PEOPLE. We are witnessing a great separating of the wheat and the tares and the gleaning is in full swing. Revelations 19 tells us this
Rev. 19: 1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
We are in the battle….it is just beginning. Babylon the Great will never walk away, but God is raising up an army of his people to stand against the evil ones. This I believe in my heart. They will be thrust down…all their evil trade schemes will be foiled. So….they are the ones who cry in the end…not God’s people.
Just my pondering to my friends here on The Marshell Report….
I have been a student of the Bible for a long time now. I have several books on The shook Of Revelations by very good Bible teachers. The last one I got explained line by line. Yet I still have no clear understanding if Jesus will come for his Bride pre trib or post-trib. As many as I ask that is as many have different ideas. About the time I decide I am comfortable with one someone will preach the other with scripture to back. We all know you can always find scripture to back. In context or out of. Will Jesus come back for his church before the NWO. Before these cold sterile city’s are completed? Or will we be depopulated? Anyone know? I read One of Dianne’s post where it stated at the beginning,
“These Are The Days Of Elijah ” I knew beyond my own ability to know, in my spirit that was a “Truth”
I have been shown from the heart when I searched that the Lord will return to fight with his people as he did in the days of the Kings. For thirty some years I was taught and believed in a pre trib rapture. One day when visited by 7th day Adventist minister and his witness, I tried to prove there was a rapture. In so doing…I could not. (now what they were saying was just as wrong). I prayed and searched the scriptures for the truth. I was blessed to see many things. It is clearly written, but clouded by man made interpretations. Jesus told us all what would be in the final days of his return in many parables. Precisely the one that no one can refute is the “Wheat and the Tares”. After he told the parable and later he and his disciples were alone, they asked him what he meant by the wheat and the tares? He answered:
Mathew 13: 36-43
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
The order is….the son of man’s angels shall gather all things that offend and them that do iniquity and cast them into a furnace of fire – there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then after that the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom. In the parable that he spoke before he explained, it was the same order…..he said gather FIRST THE TARES….
Mathew 13: 27-30
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
