Very interesting piece and short video.
I noted the 4:44 as the time you posted it.
Therefore I think this war with the Persians may happen around then and Damascus will be destroyed.
I really don't like to see someone so sick be artificially kept alive for so long.
Being involved in doing that sort of thing it reminds me of torture.
But if it is this significant then I am sure it will be worth the hardship.
