As to Psalm 83 and Isaiah 17, we've had plenty of discussions about those. Psalm 83 describes the conniving and threatening that has been going on for a few years against Israel. Isaiah 17 - as in the destruction of Damascus so that it is no longer a city - has not happened yet, and many (including me) think it will be a precursor to Ezekiel 38-39.
