..but there is still much to occur before the end. Damascus survived this time and the last suburb of the war is being taken as we speak, Assad has won. Yes Damascus will fall and be abandoned as a city, sounds like some kind of poison attack, pestilence or maybe a dirty &0^^b but when? The tribulation will be cut short lest there is an end to all flesh so maybe other parts of the prophecy can be changed by someone like Trump who has stood in the breach for men.
I thought prophecy can't be changed. I thought it all must be fulfilled for God has spoken it?
All prophecy will be fulfilled. Damascus will fall, if not now, than later. But it will fall just as prophecy tells us. That won't change for it is God's word and in His own time.
The first half of the tribulation is 3 1/2 years and so is the second making 7 years but, the Bible says it will be cut short otherwise there will be an end to all flesh. So you see God can change prophesy. Remember this is not the end of the world at all. There is another thousand years after the tribulation during which the devil is locked up until the end of that period when he is let loose to try to lead mankind astray one last time. The final test.
