JERUSALEM – Syria, aided by Russia and Iran, in recent months has been furiously acquiring rockets and missiles, including projectiles capable of hitting the entire state of Israel, according to Jordanian and Israeli security officials speaking to WND.
A Jordanian security official said one of the main reasons Damascus did not retaliate after Israel carried out its Sept. 6 airstrike inside Syria allegedly targeting a nascent nuclear facility was because Syria’s rocket infrastructure was not yet complete.
The official said after the Israeli airstrike, Syria picked up the pace of acquiring rockets and missiles, largely from Russia with Iranian backing, with the goal of completing its missile and rocket arsenal by the end of the year. The Jordanian official said Syria is aiming to possess enough projectiles to fire over 100 rockets into Israel per hour for a sustained period of time.

Isaiah 17
Proclamation Against Syria and Israel
1 The burden against Damascus.
“ Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city,
And it will be a ruinous heap.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken;
They will be for flocks
Which lie down, and no one will make them afraid.
3 The fortress also will cease from Ephraim,
The kingdom from Damascus,
And the remnant of Syria;
They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,”
Says the LORD of hosts.for full chapter click here: Biblegateway Isaiah 17
For years now since the advent of the Left Behind Series then the Rosenberg books: Last Jihad, Last Days, Ezekiel Option, Copper Scroll and Epicenter, we have been subjected to the idea that the ‘next big sign’ would be the war of Gog and Magog. I was excited to read about the Ezekiel prophesies in chapter 37-39. I agree that this war is coming, however I have read Isaiah 17 as well. It has been my understanding that this Prophesy (Isaiah 17) has yet to have happened. It is a matter that concerns me as we saw last year when Israel ‘discovered’ that Syria has a ‘plant’ in the dessert that was guarded to the ‘T, it later became evident that Syria was importing certain goods from North Korea to this site. Soon after this intel it was ‘laid waste’ by Israel. Now this was not in Damascus…but wouldn’t it behoove Syria to dare to put a similar project in the middle of their most populated cities in hopes that Israel wouldn’t dare touch such a place? Just a thought or a wonder… I’m not prevy to classified information…I do my digging and have learned to read between the lines. It is important not to presuppose especially when it comes to G-d’s divine word. It is better always to be diligent in reading and investigating His word, as well as staying in prayer over all things. So with that I will leave you to your Bible! God Bless and stay alert!
