What if Damascus is destroyed fulfilling Isaiah 17 prophecy?

i don't think the wt ever say anything about this prophecy.

if they did, i think they will say it is symbolic and that it doesn't mean damascus will be destroyed literally,.

but watching the things happening now in syria , it seems very possible that it could happen.. if this prophecy comes true, will those of you here who have rejected the bible as the word of god think twice regarding the bible?.
