Dear Doves,
This message is
intended to spark your interest in reading Isaiah
Chapter 17 carefully in light of the importance it
appears to have for anyone interested in knowing the
events of the seven year Tribulation period. The
information provided here is for general
consideration, for your use, given all other
information on this subject.
From Lyn Mize’s
Firstfruits web site (www.ffruits.org), the
following information is given as an exegesis of
Isaiah Chapter 17. Isaiah 17 describes events during
the 7 years of Tribulation. In Semitic style, an
overview is given first, followed by the details.
The meaning for us
appears to be that the next big event we can
expect, that will end the age of Grace, is the
destruction of Damascus, followed shortly
thereafter by the Firstfruits rapture of the
Church.
YBIC,
Robert
