THE BURDEN OF DAMASCUS

Oh boy.

I am starting to get early intelligence in that things are getting even more syrias over in Syria.....

I am thinking about the phraseology "the burden of Damascus".  What does it mean to have a burden.  It occurred to me that this would be the same burden that the breeding tom turkey would have in the turkey farm when he has been around for 10 years and things are just not "up" to what they used to be.  He knows his life is limited - as with all toms on a turkey farm - so it is not a matter of "IF", but "WHEN" for him.

As with all cities, they are sacked over time.  Wars and conflicts happen in this telestial world.  As time goes on, if you are still standing - it is just a matter of time before your fall comes.  This is a burden - something a city would worry about if it had a soul; quite similar to that tom turkey on that turkey farm.  When these words were penned/uttered, it was around 2500 years ago.  How much greater is that burden today, than it was 2500 years ago.

Folks, the die is cast.....  People that think it is all honkey dory and that all is well in Zion - are seriously deluded.....
