What is the difference between Syria and Assyria?
There is some overlap between Assyrians and Syrians as the heartland of
ancient Assyria reached into northeastern Syria and as such there are still
some Assyrians living in Syria. That being said, the Assyrians and the
Syrians are two different people groups by and large. The Assyrians are
a pre-Arab Near Eastern people whose civilization stretches back n
early 5000 years. They live primarily in the regions of northern Mesopotamia,
their historic homeland. The Syrian people are citizens of the modern
nation-state of Syria which is composed primarily of Arabs and Kurds.

Jesus will be born of the virgin, Mary.
After Mary gave birth to Jesus, she still maintained her virginity.
Alma 7:10
10 And behold, he shall be of Mary, at
which is the of our forefathers, she being a ,
a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed
and by the power of the Holy Ghost, and
bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.
His name would be called Immanuel, "God with us."
He will choose the Good.
He will eat butter and honey.
17-25
Israel will turn their backs unto the Lord and fall away from the truth,
from that which is good and righteous. They will worship idols, false gods,
and will stray from the strait and narrow path leading to eternal life.
