RAW STORY
Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto on Monday devoted an entire segment to
the possibility that a United States attack on Syria could be a sign of
the End Times, a period in which Christians believe that Jesus Christ
will return to face the emergence of the Antichrist.
“This Syria stuff is way old,” Cavuto explained. “I mean Old
Testament old. That’s how old I’m talking about. Don’t laugh. Some
biblical scholars say it’s all there in black and white.”
The Fox News host invited author Joel Rosenberg to weigh in on the
link between the Syrian conflict and the Bible passages, which he said
were “uncanny” and “kind of scary.”
“These
are prophecies more than 2,700 years old, some of them, but they have
not actually been fulfilled,” Rosenberg said. “But this prophecy, as you
just pointed out, talks about the complete and utter destruction of
Damascus. That’s an End Times or eschatological prophecy.”
“It’s a very sobering thought to think that a judgment of a city or a
country could happen in which an entire city could be wiped out, but
that is, in fact, what the Bible is predicting,” he added. “I think it’s
wrong for people who teach Bible prophecies to guess — I mean, in a
sense try to say for certain it’s going to happen now.”
“But you have 7 million Syrians that are already on the run, 2
million have left the country, 5 million are internally displaced. That
Jeremiah 49 prophecy says that people will flee, but there will still be
people in Damascus when the prophecy happens. So, the bottom line is
that we don’t know if these two prophecies — Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49 —
will happen in our lifetime or soon, but they could because they
haven’t happened yet.”
“Amazing,” the Fox News host observed. “It’s in in there. It’s worth a read.”
Cavuto and Rosenberg did not speculate if one of the current world
leaders could be the Antichrist at the time of Christ’s Second Coming.
