“Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron: I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the LORD.”
Amos 1:3, 5 KJV
“For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four” is the key. Syria (Damascus) has attacked Israel thrice since its reformulation in 1948. The war in 1948, the 6 Day War, and Yom Kippur. If Syria attacks a fourth time, it seems that Amos 1 and Isaiah 17 kick in and spell the utter destruction of Syria and any other country attacking Israel.
The descendants of Ishmael and Esau are playing with fire.
