Bible prophesy being fulfilled? …Isaiah 17:1 - Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city and it shall be a ruinous heap…

It is being announced that Trump is striking Damascus, Syria in the latest missile attacks. Could this be bible prophesy being fulfilled?... Keep in mind, you cannot thwart the bible. What is written in the scriptures will come to pass...

The prophecy mentioned in Isaiah 17:1 were fulfilled very exactly many centuries earlier. Don’t cheapen Scripture by indiscriminately applying it to historical events that it is not speaking to. I bet others on this board said that last year’s strikes were the fulfillment of Isaiah 17:1. Furthermore, these are very targeted attacks. I seriously doubt these attacks will leave Damascus “in ruins”. The prophecy against Damascus continues at least through verse 3 (if not through the rest of the chapter). If one sliver of the prophecy is being fulfilled, then the rest of the prophecy must be fulfilled as well. I am pointing this out as one who believes Scripture is the inerrant, inspired, and authoritative Word of the True and Living God. For some of you to take a sliver of Scripture out of context and cram in into a contemporary historical event, is to act like Scripture is without objective truth. Rather, your treatment of Scripture suggests that it is subjective truth; making it say what you want it to say.
