Prophecies of Damascus and Gaza: Zechariah’s Vision, Syria’s Fall, and Jerusalem’s Future Reach
Rabbi Daniel Glatstein
This class explores Midrash and the prophecy in Zechariah about Jerusalem “reaching the gates of Damascus,” the downfall of Syrian and Philistine powers, and how some see echoes of these verses in modern events. It discusses the expansion of Jerusalem’s spiritual influence, the trembling of Gaza, and the possibility of these ancient prophecies unfolding in the end of days.
