Wish I didn’t have the same perception. Doesn’t look good.
“The word of the LORD came to me: Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you. Get ready; be prepared, you and all the hordes gathered about you, and take command of them. After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety. You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land.” Ezekiel 38:1-9
“And I will send a fire on Magog and among those that dwell securely in the isles; and they shall know that I am the Lord.” Ezekiel 39:6
The Islamists have won
Right. It can’t be good because these are the guys who would be the best candidates to undertake a coup against the Islamist nutjobs who currently run the country. The Islamization of the army continues.
And that applies to recent events exactly how?
This might be a good time for Russia to try just ONE more time...
;-)
Good news for islamic caliphate idiots, bad news for freedom.
The interior always has been a hell-hole.
Many Biblical scholars think Gog and Magog is Turkey, but couldn’t understand how, as Turkey is about the only Islamic country that doesn’t hate (well, until recently) Israel, could be drawn to attack them. Folks said the generals wouldn’t allow it. The USA supports Israel, and Turkey’s in NATO with the USA, and while they could shout and rant against the Jews for public consumption, Turkey is really the best friend in the Islamic world the Israeli’s have. Over the past decades this has been true.
So these Biblical scholars who are concerned with the prophecies of Ezekiel and think they’re yet to come (because of the words that mention Jews returning from all the nations to a desolate Israel—they say this is a prophecy in its own right concerning the new nation of Israel in the 1940’s) have wondered and worried over signs that Turkey would be drawn into a war against Israel with a huge alliance of nations. I mean, it isn’t far-fetched to think that Iran (Persia), Kush (Sudan/Eritrea), Gomer (North Iraq) and Egypt want to invade Israel but not Turkey.
Well, here we go... I would say kicking out the Western-looking, Ataturk-following military leaders and replacing them with Fundamentalists would seem to be setting the hook, sort to speak. And those are the words that God uses through Ezekiel to convey HOW Turkey will made be the Alliance leader. To set hooks into their jaws and pull them in. I’ve read that that was how wild asses were captured in those days.
Look, to a person who doesn’t believe it doesn’t make sense to even argue. But in my humble opinion, the fact that Israel, a nation that fell and failed to be since the Romans were at their peak (and hundreds of years before THEY fell) was resurrected exactly as this scripture said it would, at least makes me pay special attention to the anything having to do with the “land of Gog and Magog.”
and commanders of air forces, navy and land forces have resigned from their positions amid controversy on appointment of generals
It never hurts to pay attention to scripture. Most prophecies are so vague as to always be true. Is the Bible showing patterns which repeat themselves? Most likely.
The nations and types of events repeat and the words of Ezekiel were intended to be to his contemporaries. Are they relevant to today very probably.
