Russia, China, Turkey And Israel are all Jockeying for Power in Middle East as Mediterranean becomes End Times Geopolitical Hotspot
nteb ^ | 9/4/20 | Geoffrey Grider

The Mediterranean — an on-again, off-again geopolitical hot spot since before the pyramids were built — is emerging anew as a sea of division and instability, with powers including Russia, China, Turkey and Israel jostling aggressively for influence, natural resources and military advantage.

In your King James Bible, we see the term ‘great sea’ mentioned 13 times, and it is referring to, of course, the massive Mediterranean ocean. Scripture also tell us that the full size of the land God gave to Abraham borders on the Mediterranean, and Daniel further tells us that this is where the 4 beasts who are political end times kings originate from. This is referring to nations that will rise to power in the time of Jacob’s trouble. So is it any wonder that right now we are seeing many key players from end times prophecy all trying to take control of the region?

When we understand the role of the Mediterranean ocean in bible prophecy, and we look around and see who the players are – Russia, Turkey, China, Greece, Israel – we understand that we are on the cusp of Ezekiel 39. In that chapter, we read about the nations of the world that will come against Israel in the time of the great Tribulation. So if we are as close as we think we are, then all the key players would be busy preparing themselves to fulfill end times bible prophecy. They absolutely are, and it is a joy to watch.

End Times Ping

Decent read on what is currently happening in the region.

*Greece & Turkey are at loggerheads.
*Lebanon seams to have ceded sovereignty over to France.
*Hezbollah continuing to threaten Israel.
*Iran continuing to threaten Israel.
*Turkey attempting to take over control of gas fields near Cyprus and Libya.
*Russia maneuvering more troops into Syria right on the Golan Heights.

PM me if you wish to be added/removed from the End Times Ping List.

Keep looking up! Maranatha!

I think Israel is doing what it has always been doing - maneuvering for survival

Israel is jockeying to survive, the rest are wolves.

I’ve been hearing this stuff, since Jack Van Impe put it on an LP!

Somehow, it does not have that woo-woo factor it once did.

Somehow it makes more sense when you think of China as the Dragon, mentioned 12 times in the Book of Revelation.

Regarding Jack Van Impe: God's Grapes of wrath are ripening for harvest, and ripening takes time, just like waiting for the birth of a child (the Kingdom of God). We are in the throes of the labor pains, which exponentially get stronger and more frequent. Any mom who has gone through labor pains really gets this analogy.

When half of Christianity cannot agree whether these writings are delusions or prophecy, (and I lump any all the varying recipes of christianity into one pot), therefore i disregard the matter.

I wouldn't call it disregarding the matter, the possibility that John's Revelation is prophecy.

It is also prophesied by Peter that scoffers will come in the last days..saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For...all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation." We see all around us that things are not "continuing the same" these [last] days.

Jesus is coming that is a for sure thing, for some He will come "as a thief in the night" because they don't take the signs of His coming seriously.

Amir always has good video Middle East updates, and always from an Israeli standpoint.

When I met him in the Philippines, I told him I had a Filipina wife. He smiled and said I was blessed. 😁👍

I disregard this matter, until every Xian, of every sect, from Roman to Russian catholic, Greek to Russian orthodox, from Jehovah’s witnesses, yes reader I gather them into the recipe, to Pentecostal, from Congregational to nondenominational, until y’all agree, either delusional or prophetic.
