supposedly Damascus is the longest inhabited city that hasn't been destroyed by invading armies.


this site says otherwise -


http://net.bible.org/dictionary.php?dict=dictionaries&word=Damascus


scrolling down to the Damascus {EBD} section


one reads -


"The Syrians were at length subdued by the Assyrians, the city of Damascus was taken and destroyed, and the inhabitants carried captive into Assyria (2 Kings 16:7-9; comp. Isa. 7:8). In this, prophecy was fulfilled (Isa. 17:1; Amos 1:4; Jer. 49:24)."

so, i don't know what to make of all these Bible prophecy teachers who've been saying that Damascus has to be destroyed. perhaps it is how one defines 'destroyed'.


but i do feel like the Lord showed me the 1289 number in relation to Damascus and that
a strike on Damascus may happen soon.


first mention of Damascus = Genesis 14:15, verse 352


total verse gematria is 2391


   Jared strong's greek # = 2391


reading this then i would theoretically conclude that the Lord descending from Heaven (Jared = descend) the Resurrection and the Rapture occur close to or simultaneously with a Damascus event.

on a side note regarding a base conversion find -


Genesis 14:15 = verse 352


   234 decimal = 352 octal
