****Reread the prophecies for Damascus and Babylon****

How’s about you be less obtuse and tell me what you are getting at.

If you’d read the prophecies you’d see there’s nothing obtuse in my statements.

The events in the lead-in to this discussion happened! The city lost its walls ~ leaving it totally unprotected in a time when it was good to live behind a wall! All 'royal' or other type of authority was relocated from a headquarters in Damascus to the new city of Baghdad ~ which is mentioned otherwise as 'daughter of Babylon'. The other cities were equally disabled ~

The least interesting descriptions of Damascus all contain the same basic facts ~ the city is in an area that's East of a row of mountains that provide a rain screen ~ so it's usually dry ~ and hot in summer. There are a couple of rivers in the area that provide all the water. The second the locals were no longer in charge of irrigation policy the area, not just that city, turned into a heap of ruins suitable only for herding sheep.

It's over. The prophecies on Damascus, Babylon and Baghdad happened as foretold ~ that's a lesson for you.

Others came along at a later time and established their own infrastructure and repopulated the area.

DId I mention, maybe I didn't, the Greek and Roman authority over Israel ended and the Jews are back in Jerusalem ~ which was foretold!

They've returned from the ends of the Earth, Check Isaiah 11:11-12

As you see there are many prophecies that have been fulfilled ~ it's possible some of the patterns might be recycled, e.g. a Messiah coming, but the details are specific to the people and the events ~
