Kobani is to ISIS as Thebes is to Assyria
By Craig C. White
DATELINE FEBRUARY 2026:
Kobani is under siege. Let me tell you why that’s important. I think ISIS will be in Mosul celebrating the fall of Kobani when Jesus returns for the Rapture.
Kobani is the last Kurdish controlled city in Syria. Syrian government associated troops and Turkish proxy armies have cut off supply routes to Kobani. These troops are typically Sunni Muslim Al-Qaeda jihadis, including ISIS fighters. Kobani has been under siege for the past month. Over the past dozen years Turkey has pushed the Kurds out of Syria starting from the west moving eastwards. In 2014 ISIS laid siege to Kobani but the Kurds managed to repel them at great cost. Now Kobani remains the last Kurdish bastion in Syria. Some 600,000 people are now trapped inside of Kobani without sufficient food or medicine. There are about 200,000 displaced Kurds from other Syrian cities that have sought refuge in Kobani.
The prophet Nahum predicted the flooding and subsequent plundering of the ancient city of Nineveh. Nineveh fell according to Nahum’s prophecy in 612 BC. Today the city of Mosul in northern Iraq is built around the site of ancient Nineveh. Mosul is the hometown of ISIS. I think that Nahum’s prophecy also applies to the modern day city of Mosul.
Nineveh was the capital city of the ancient Assyrians. Before the destruction of Nineveh the Assyrians had conquered the northern Egyptian city of No-Amon. The Assyrian King named Assur-banipal had conquered the city of No-Amon (or Thebes) in Upper Egypt in 663 B.C. The Assyrians may have been celebrating the fall of No-Amon when the flood hit Nineveh. In the book of Nahum God reminds the Assyrians that if it was possible for the city of No-Amon to fall then Nineveh was just as vulnerable to its own fall. In the book of Nahum No-Amon is simply called No in the English King James Bible.
Nahum 3:8-9 Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea? 9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
In the verse below, Nahum describes the Assyrians gathered together in a thick crowd when the flood hits. They are drunk celebrating their prior victories. It may be that ISIS will be gathered together in Mosul celebrating their conquest of Kobani when God floods Mosul.
Nahum 1:10 For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
I am making a comparison between ancient history and modern events. It seems to me that Nahum’s predictions apply to both. Where ISIS is concerned Nahum’s prophecy would seem incomplete without a previously conquered city. Of course I may be all wet here but not as wet as ISIS will be if the Mosul dam breaks!
Listen to my verse by verse Bible study through the Old Testament book of Nahum titled The End of ISIS is near!
