5 Bible Verses about The Prophecy Towards Damascus

Because the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is only Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be too shattered to be a people.

Before the boy knows how to say Father or Mother the wealth of Damascus and the loot from Samaria will be carried away to the king of Assyria.

Damascus will cease to be a city, and will become a heap of ruins. The cities of Aroer (three places near Palestine) will be deserted forever. They will be places for flocks to lie down, and no one will make them afraid. The fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the kingdom (sovereignty) from Damascus. The remnant of Aram will be like the glory of the children of Israel, proclaims Jehovah of Hosts.read more.
Then the glory of Jacob will be brought low, and the fat of his flesh will grow lean (riches, strength and glory will diminish). It will be like reapers gathering the standing grain. Their arms harvest the ears, and as when one gleans the ears of grain in the Valley of Rephaim. Gleanings will be left in it, as when an olive tree is beaten: two or three berries in the top of the highest bough, four or five on the branches of a fruit tree, declares Jehovah the God of Israel. On that day people will regard their Maker. Their eyes will look (offer respect) to the Holy One of Israel. They will not have regard for the altars, the work of their hands, and they will not look to what their own fingers have made, either the sacred poles (Asherim) or the altars of incense. In that day their strong cities (of Syria and Israel) will be like a forsaken bough and an uppermost branch that they left because of the children of Israel. There will be desolation in the land. Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation. You have not been mindful of the Rock of your stronghold. Therefore you will plant pleasant plants and set out foreign (imported) (unusual) seedlings. In that day you will make your plant grow. In the morning you will make your seed flourish; but the harvest will be a heap of ruins in the day of grief and desperate sorrow. There will be trouble for the multitude of people, because they will roar like the roar of the seas. Woe to the rushing of nations that makes a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! The nations will rush like the raging of many waters. But God will rebuke them and they will flee far away. They will be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, like a rolling dust before the whirlwind. In the evening, sudden terror! Before the morning, they are gone! This is the portion of those who loot us, the lot of those who rob us.

I will not hold back punishment, said Jehovah, For the many transgressions of Damascus. This is because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron. I will send fire to the house of Hazael and it will devour the palaces of Ben-hadad. I will destroy the lock (bar) at the gate of Damascus, and annihilate the inhabitant from the valley of Aven. He who holds the scepter (imperial authority) from the house of Eden and the people of Syria will go into captivity to Kir, said Jehovah.

The prophetic utterance of the word of Jehovah upon the land of Hadrach: Damascus will be its resting-place. The eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Jehovah. Hamath and all that borders on it, including Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise. Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.read more.
Behold! Jehovah will evict her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured with fire. Ashkelon will see it and fear! Gaza will be pained and Ekron will be put to shame. The king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited. An illegitimate son will dwell in Ashdod. I will remove the arrogance of the Philistines. And I will remove his blood from his mouth, and his detestable things from between his teeth. He will remain for our God. He will be like a chieftain in Judah, and in Ekron like a Jebusite. I will encamp about my house against the army. None will pass through or return. No oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my eyes. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king comes to you! He is righteous having salvation. He is humble, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the son of a she ass. I will destroy the war chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem. The battle bow will be dismantled. He will speak peace to the nations! His dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. I set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. This is because of the blood of your covenant! Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. I declare today: I shall repay you a double portion. I bend as my bow, Judah. I filled the bow with Ephraim! I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece. I will make you like the sword of a mighty man. Jehovah will be seen over them. His arrow will go forth like lightning! The Sovereign Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet and will go with windstorms of the south. Jehovah of Hosts will defend them! They will devour and trample on the sling stones. They will drink and be boisterous with the wine. They will be filled like the sacrificial basins by the corners of the altar. Jehovah their God will save them in that day like the flock of his people. They will be like the stones in a crown lifted high over his land. How great is his goodness! How great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
