Damascus (Arabic: دمشق Dimashq IPA: [ˈdiːmaːʃq]) is the capital and the second-largest city of Syria after Aleppo. It is commonly known in Syria as ash-Sham (Arabic: الشام ash-Shām) and nicknamed as the City of Jasmine (Arabic: مدينة الياسمين Madīnat al-Yāsmīn). In addition to being one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, Damascus is a major cultural and religious center of the Levant. The city has an estimated population of 1,711,000 as of 2009.
Located in southwestern Syria, Damascus is the center of a large metropolitan area of 2.6 million people (2004). Geographically embedded on the eastern foothills of the Anti-Lebanon mountain range 80 kilometres (50 mi) inland from the eastern shore of the Mediterranean on a plateau 680 metres (2,230 ft) above sea-level, Damascus experiences a semi-arid climate because of the rain shadow effect. The Barada River flows through Damascus.
First settled in the second millennium BC, it was chosen as the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate from 661 to 750. After the victory of the Abbasid dynasty, the seat of Islamic power was moved to Baghdad. Damascus saw a political decline throughout the Abbasid era, only to regain significant importance in the Ayyubid and Mamluk periods. During Ottoman rule, the city decayed while maintaining a certain cultural prestige. Today, it is the seat of the central government and all of the government ministries.

War has been raging in Syria for five years, causing millions to leave the country. This is the story of some who’ve stayed. When the bloody conflict began, many Syrians had to put their lives on hold until the situation stabilised. But even after five years, there’s still no end in sight to the devastating war. Many civilians have lost their homes, their possessions and even loved ones. In an attempt to preserve at least some semblance of normality in their lives, people have learnt to live in the violently conflicted state. Just as in times of peace, they go to the market, meet in cafes, work, marry and organise big weddings. In Damascus, there’s been less devastation than in many other big Syrian cities, and so the capital welcomed many internally displaced refugees, but even here, n...
Making damascus or "pattern-welded" steel is one of the more interesting challenges in knifemaking. This video is the first in a multi-part series in which swordsmith Walter Sorrells shows the methods he uses to forge-weld Damascus steel. The video focuses on the materials, tools and skills involved in forge-welding the initial billet. The second installment of the series will focus on developing basic patterns like ladder damascus.

About the time of the end the biblical prophet Ezekiel tells of a future invasion of Israel by a vast coalition of nations, known as the battle of Gog and Magog, we find this in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39. As we read the headlines in the newspapers of today, and witness the conflicts in the Middle East, it's not hard to imagine that this invasion prophesied over 2600 years ago, could be fulfilled in the immediate future. Ezekiel 36-37 predicts a gathering of the Jews to the nation of Israel, which will be followed by this massive invasion. For 19 centuries, the Jewish people were scattered throughout the world, and until May 14, 1948, there was no nation of Israel to invade. With the nation of Israel now a reality, the stage seems set for the war that will usher in the tribulation and t...

Damascus is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth. Bible prophecy says that the end is near when Damascus becomes a ruinous heap and is unable to be inhabited. I will let you decide whether you believe whether or not that people could actually live there. The Holy Spirit told me that I would take the church on a journey with me to the end of the age. He chose the title of this video, not me. Join me on this journey, a journey that I hope will open your eyes to the fact that the things that have been prophesied are not in the far off future, but that some have already occurred, and many are happening right now. God Bless You Church! I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor) I do not own the rights to any of these videos us...
Is Obama Administration Planning an Attack On Damascus? the question may have more reality than you may realize with the latest escalation between Russia and the Obama administration. John Kirby announced that The US has withdrawn from bilateral communication regarding Syria and are pulling out their personnel. In leaked conversation with Syrian citizens New York Kerry speaks about his frustrations over Syria and a solution but also how the current situation in Aleppo has taken a turn. Kerry says that to make a no fly-zone would mean taking out Russian air-defenses first. Russia oddly enough has a Nuclear drill planned for 40 million citizens across the country starting tomorrow.
