Babylon the Great

A couple of months ago, I wrote an article about the fact that many prophecy folks are looking forward to the complete destruction of Damascus in a presumed fulfillment of Isaiah 17:1. But not all students of prophecy see it that way: Some believe this prophecy was completely fulfilled in history and thus see no need for a future fulfillment.

In that article, I look at both sides of the argument and in the end I concede that I am officially on the fence. Although I tend to lean toward the historical fulfillment interpretation, I freely admit that it could go either way.

 A Blast From the Past: 

Sorry, Maggie

That's it. I've had it up to here.

I'm not kidding—I can't take it anymore. If I don't get this out of my system, I'm going to start banging my head against the nearest brick wall.

I spend a lot of time on YouTube watching videos from some of my favorite Bible teachers, and I routinely search for more—especially in the areas of Bible prophecy and eschatology (the study of the end times).

I'm happy to report that, although you may have to sift through a lot of junk to find it, there is a wealth of powerful, biblically sound teaching freely available on the Internet. In the process of searching YouTube, however, I never fail to run across a lot of videos posted by people who apparently have a seething, maniacal hatred for everything and everybody associated with the biblical doctrine of the pre-tribulation Rapture, which teaches that the Rapture will occur before the beginning of the seven-year Tribulation.

It seems the pre-trib Rapture pushes a few hot buttons out there.

4/8/2025 — From the "Same Old Song and Dance" Department...

In spite of all the scary-sounding war rhetoric spewing forth from Iranian leaders, Iran is clearly sweating a direct military confrontation with the United States. Or with Israel.

Take your pick: Either one would be Iran's worst nightmare come true.

The bluster coming from Iran is due in large part to the devastating attacks by Israel in the last few months that have destroyed the powerful air-defense batteries that protected their nuclear weapons facilities, leaving them dangerously exposed to attack. And the Trump administration is taking measures to ensure Israel remains well-supplied with the weapons it needs for any future attacks.

And said administration is crippling Iran with sanctions.

Oh, but now—surprise, surprise—Iranian leaders want to talk.

And whaddya know...it's the same old song and dance that Iran and its proxies and pawns have always pulled, from Hamas to Mahmoud Abbas. And how does that song go? Nod if these lyrics ring a bell:

First, give us everything we want
and then we'll agree to talk. M'kay?

Doo-dah, doo-dah. Fair enough? Just give us complete relief from those nasty old sanctions that are having their desired effect and we'll talk till the camels...er, cows come home. I mean, we're totally for negotiations and all that—just take away all those sanctions and everything will be hunky-dory.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had these high-sounding, lopsidedly self-serving words to say:

"In principle, direct negotiations with a party that continuously threatens violence, violates the UN Charter, and whose various officials issue contradictory statements would be meaningless. Nevertheless, we remain devoted to finding a diplomatic solution and are prepared to pursue the negotiation pathway."

Uhm...I'm sorry, Mr. Araghchi, but could you repeat that? Those thundering chants of "Death to Israel! Death to America!" in the background drowned out what you were saying.
