Bombing Damascus

We have been thinking a lot about the thought of Damascus being destroyed by a nuclear bomb. It appears that the winds would carry the nuclear contamination to Baghdad and probably a lot farther. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Q. We have been thinking a lot about the thought of Damascus being destroyed by a nuclear bomb. One problem is that the prevailing winds are from west to east, and Baghdad is about 400 miles directly east of Damascus. It appears that the winds would carry the nuclear contamination to Baghdad and probably a lot farther. This probably would kill our troops and a lot of other people outside Damascus. Do you have any thoughts on this?

A. The Bible doesn’t specifically refer to the means by which Damascus is destroyed, although from our understanding of things it appears likely that some kind of unconventional weapons will be involved. But Israel will know the likely collateral effects of such an action and will take all this into consideration. Additionally, God controls the winds and in fact all the elements, and He will no doubt determine the extent of the damage.
