Jeremiah 23:5??
The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 6In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. And this is the name by which he will be called: βThe Lord is our righteousness.β

Look, the city of Damascus will disappear! It will become a heap of ruins
Damascus didn't disappear. It is still the capital of Syria. There has been some destruction, but it still remains one of the few, stable places in Syria, since the political leadership is there.
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
This can literally describe any period of human history. People have always been shitty.
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
Again, this can describe pretty much any time in history, and can certainly describe a number of different groups today. You can argue conservatives who home school their kids are "accumulating for themselves teachers to suit their own passions".
...'and earthquakes in divers places.'
Umm.....yaaaa ok kek

You won't like where biblical prophecy takes you. Iran gets it's nuclear weapons and bombs five large cities of Saudi Arabia. Mecca is reduced to smoking ruins. All trade with Saudi Arabia ends as ships along the coast that do trade now have no place to offload and their crews are horrified to see the rising smoke of destruction. Israel is attacked from Iran and Turkey with many aligned Islamic nations joining in. China thinks to join in but it's 200 million man army is forced to return to China due to troubles in it's own nation. Millions of people are slaughtered in Israel by an invading coalition of armies, Israel's survivors flee to Petra for sanctuary, IDF launches the Sampson option against Damascus and Greece. Damascus is reduced to rubble, and most of the invading Islamic army is destroyed by nuclear bombs. Israel emerges victorious from the war but it's a bitter victory gained with many lives lost. They spend months collecting the bodies of the dead which are contaminated with radioactive waste. They dispose of the bodies in a deep valley where they can be buried in layers. For seven years after the war Israel is busy disposing of weapons of war.
