U.S. Retaliates Against Syrian Airfield

In response to Tuesday's Assad-directed chemical attack that killed over 70 civilians, Trump has responded with 59 Tomahawk Cruise missiles, which targeted an air field.  The attack occurred 100 years to the day from when the United States entered World War I (April 6, 1917).

So sad to see all of this violence and death.

How long until an explosive from one of the many combatants in the region finish off the area and fulfill the prophecy?

Here is just-released footage from the Pentagon showing Tomahawk missiles being launched from one of the cruisers that participated in the attack:

Isaiah 17 (NLT)


 A Message about Damascus and Israel

This message came to me concerning Damascus:

“Look, the city of Damascus will disappear!
    It will become a heap of ruins.
The towns of Aroer will be deserted.
    Flocks will graze in the streets and lie down undisturbed,
    with no one to chase them away.
The fortified towns of Israel will also be destroyed,
    and the royal power of Damascus will end.
All that remains of Syria
    will share the fate of Israel’s departed glory,”
    declares the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
“In that day Israel’s glory will grow dim;
    its robust body will waste away.
The whole land will look like a grainfield
    after the harvesters have gathered the grain.
It will be desolate,
    like the fields in the valley of Rephaim after the harvest.
Only a few of its people will be left,
    like stray olives left on a tree after the harvest.
Only two or three remain in the highest branches,
    four or five scattered here and there on the limbs,”
    declares the Lord, the God of Israel.
Then at last the people will look to their Creator
    and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
They will no longer look to their idols for help
    or worship what their own hands have made.
They will never again bow down to their Asherah poles
    or worship at the pagan shrines they have built.
Their largest cities will be like a deserted forest,
    like the land the Hivites and Amorites abandoned
when the Israelites came here so long ago.
    It will be utterly desolate.
Why? Because you have turned from the God who can save you.
    You have forgotten the Rock who can hide you.
So you may plant the finest grapevines
    and import the most expensive seedlings.
They may sprout on the day you set them out;
    yes, they may blossom on the very morning you plant them,
but you will never pick any grapes from them.
    Your only harvest will be a load of grief and unrelieved pain.
Listen! The armies of many nations
    roar like the roaring of the sea.
Hear the thunder of the mighty forces
    as they rush forward like thundering waves.
But though they thunder like breakers on a beach,
    God will silence them, and they will run away.
They will flee like chaff scattered by the wind,
    like a tumbleweed whirling before a storm.
In the evening Israel waits in terror,
    but by dawn its enemies are dead.
This is the just reward of those who plunder us,
    a fitting end for those who destroy us.
