WORLD AT WAR: 7.22.23 - Echoes Of Ezekiel 38

Echoes Of Ezekiel 38 - Putin Looks To Cement Ties With Iran & Turkey – PNW Staff - https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=5470 Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to travel to the Middle East this week, demonstrating Russia is fully committed to countering US alliance building efforts on the globalstage. Putin's move comes on the heels of US President Joe Biden's trip to Israel and Saudi Arabia. As the world media covers Biden's visits to Jerusalem, Jeddah and Riyadh, Putinis set to visit Tehran on July 19. He will be joined in Iran's capital by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to meet with Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi, nicknamed "the butcher of Tehran" for having sentenced tens of thousands of people to death over theyears. Putin has met with the leaders of these two nations several times over the last few years to solidify ties, increase trade and find common ground on issues such as Syria. Themain item on the agenda of their meeting will to broker an end to the 11-year Syrian civil war which will detail the role each will continue to have in the country and surrounding areas. Both Iran and Russia have already been in the news this last week showing their deepening co-operation as Iran announced it will supply Russia with hundreds of drones andtrain Russian forces in how to use them. Previously, such drones had only been in the hands of Hezbollah and Hamas. Now, they are undoubtedly headed for Ukraine. Russia in turn is lining up behind Iran diplomatically. Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian recently visited Russia, and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov said heis committed to seeing the removal of all sanctions on Tehran and the restoration of the 2015 nuclear deal. Despite being a part of NATO, Islamic Turkey has been drifting into Russia's orbit for years and every year gets a little closer as it feels rejection from the European Unionand diplomatic disputes with the US. Each of these developments are significant in the world of Bible Prophecy. Six centuries before the crucifixion of Jesus, Ezekiel foretold of a future invasion of Israel (Ezekiel 38-39). He said it will occur in the last days (Ezekiel 38:16). Itwill come from north of Israel (Ezekiel 38:15; Ezekiel 39:2), and it will involve a coalition of nations led by Russia (Ezekiel 38:2). The nations Ezekiel cited include: Rosh = Russia Magog = Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Afghanistan Persia = Iran Cush = Sudan Put = Libya Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, and Beth-togarmah = Turkey For years an alliance between Russia, Shiite Iran and a Sunni Turkey seemed very unlikely - but that has all changed as evidenced by this weeks meeting. Is this a mere coincidence? Never in history have these three nations formed an alliance. Now, all three have troops stationed directly to Israel's north just over the borderin Syria. We also have Afghanistan back in the camp of Islamic nations thanks to Bidens diasterous pull out... which lines up with Ezekiel. One of the few nations to protest the invasionof Israel in Ezekiel is a reference to "Sheba & Dedan" launching a verbal protest but nothing more. Many Bible scholars link this area to Saudi Arabia and coincidently Saudi Arabia is in the news this week for warming ties with Israel and clearly putting itself in the anti-Irancamp however it's fear of Iranian ambitions would lead to nothing more than verbal protest. No one comes to Israel's aid but God Himself. The Bible indicates that in the "latter days" the Lord will put a "hook in the jaw" of these nations listed and according to the prophet, "you shall ascend and come like astorm; you shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your troops, and many peoples with you." (Ezekiel 38:9) Some speculate that "hook in the jaw" could be Israel's newly discovered oil and natural gas riches which directly affect the Russian economy as it uses oil & gas to chokeEuropean support for Ukraine. Other analysts believe Russia's alliance with Iran could be a "hook' if Israel pre-emptively attacks Iran's nuclear program, resulting in retaliation by Iran and the ensuingconflict draws in Russia. Some reports even this week have Iran on the verge of a nuclear breakthrough with Israel promising they will never let Iran progress to a full weapon. It seems inevitable that conflict between Iran & Israel is coming. For now we see the alliance of nations forming exactly as Ezekiel described. Now we await the "hook". ------------------------- Russia, Iran, and Turkey Forming a Biblical Alliance - Britt Gillette- http://www.end-times-bible-prophecy.com/russia-iran-and-turkey-forming-a-biblical-alliance.html Vladimir Putin will meet with Iranian and Turkish leaders in Tehran this week. The trip will mark only his second trip outside of Russia since the Ukraine war began. In hisprevious trip outside of the country, Putin visited Tajikistan (home to Russia�s largest military base outside of its own borders) to discuss Afghanistan�s stability. He then attended a summit in Turkmenistan to discuss energy policy with Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan,Iran, and Turkmenistan. Given Russia�s ongoing military campaign in Ukraine, these trips highlight the significance of Russia's relationship with these countries � and with Iran and Turkey in particular. So why should you care? You should care because more than 2,600 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel warned of a future time when a vast coalition of nations will attack Israel.The leader of this coalition is a man known as Gog, the ruler of Magog (Ezekiel 38:1). This is why the invading force is known as the Gog of Magog coalition. According to Ezekiel this alliance will send an overwhelming force to invade Israel in the last days.And today, for the first time in human history, we see this alliance forming. The Invading Nations Which nations does Ezekiel describe? He identifies the invading nations as �Magog, Rosh, Meschech, Tubal, Persia, Cush, Put, Gomer, and Beth-togarmah� (Ezekiel 38:1-6). Ifyou look on a 2022 map of the globe, you won�t find any of these nations. So how can I say this alliance is forming? Because these are the ancient biblical names of these nations, and while their names have changed over the years, we can still locate them on a map today. Below is a listof each nation, followed by its modern day name: Rosh = Russia Magog = Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,and Afghanistan Persia = Iran Cush = Sudan Put = Libya Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, and Beth-togarmah = Turkey Putin�s visit to Tehran will mark the third nation he�s visited since the Ukraine war began, and all three � Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Iran � are part of the Gog of Magogalliance. Moreover during the course of these three visits, Putin will meet with two additional members of the Gog of Magog alliance � Kazakhstan and Turkey. Is this a coincidence? I don�t think so. It�s been centuries since Ezekiel first recorded these prophecies. Yet, this alliance has never existed. It certainly hasn�t invaded Israel. But now? Today, we see it comingtogether. An Unlikely Alliance Putin�s trip to Tehran to meet with Iranian and Turkish leaders should be of particular interest to those who study bible prophecy. Why? Because, until recently, these threenations made an unlikely alliance. First, these three nations have never been aligned in all of human history. Second, Turkey is a member of NATO, and until recently, actively sought EU membership. Third, for most of recorded history, Russia and Iran had aturbulent relationship with little cooperation. In fact, until the death of Ayatollah Khomeini, who deemed Islam incompatible with the atheism of the Soviet Union, the modern nation of Iran had little to do with Russia. But in recent years, Russia�s ties with both nations have strengthened. Following the death of Ayatollah Khomeini and the end of the Iran-Iraq war in 1989, Russia (then apart of the Soviet Union), started selling arms to Iran. In 1995, the Russian Ministry for Atomic Energy signed an agreement with Iran to finish the Bushehr nuclear power plant. The civil war in Syria was another area of cooperation between the two countries.Russia and Iran share a common interest when it comes to keeping Syrian President Bashar Assad in power. Russia has a vested interest in retaining access to the Syrian naval base in Tartus and stopping the spread of ISIS. As a longtime ally of Assad, Iranalso has military forces in Syria. In addition, Iran is the primary sponsor of Hezbollah, a radical terrorist organization. Hezbollah has openly operated in Syria under Assad. It�s clear Russia and Iran have strengthened their diplomatic, economic, and military ties. But what about Turkey? Of all the members of the Gog of Magog coalition, Turkeyis the most interesting. Why? Because it seems even more unlikely ally of Russia in an invasion of Israel. Following World War I, Turkey established a secular western democracy and became a model democratic republic in the Middle East. In 1949, Turkey became the first Muslim majoritynation to recognize Israel. In 1952, it joined NATO. For the latter part of the 20th Century, Turkey was a strong ally of Israel, the U.S., and other western nations. As the 21st Century dawned, Turkey explored membership in the European Union. This wouldhave further solidified the nation�s western ties. Instead, an event took place that reshaped the future of Turkey. In 2003, Turkey elected Recep Tayyip Erdogan prime minister. A former member of a banned Islamist political party, Erdogan�s administration has been hostile toward Turkey�ssecular and democratic institutions. Under Erdogan, Turkey has turned from its traditional western allies and cultivated relationships with nations that oppose western democracy. In July 2016, Erdogan cracked down on his political opponents following whathe claimed was a coup attempt. He imprisoned thousands of citizens and consolidated his grip on power. A 2017 referendum further extended that power. Now the president, Erdogan is the undisputed ruler of Turkey. The nation, once hailed as a model of freedomand democracy in the Muslim world, has quickly devolved into a totalitarian regime eager to befriend America�s enemies. In September 2018, Turkey met the leaders of Russia and Iran in Tehran to discuss the future of Syria. In February 2019, Turkey met the leaders of Russia and Iran in Sochito coordinate joint military plans in Syria. Now, these nations are meeting once again in Tehran. The relationship between Putin and Erdogan is strong and growing. All that�s left to permanently move Turkey into the Russian ally column is a clear break betweenTurkey and NATO. What could cause that? We may be witnessing it now. Turkey is experiencing massive inflation. They also counted on Ukraine for a significant portion of their food supply. Inflation and food shortages threaten Erdogan�s grip on power. Wherecan he get a steady supply of energy and food? Russia. It may be what finally drives Turkey into Russia�s corner. When that happens, the key players in the Gog of Magog alliance will be in place. When Will All This Happen? So when will this invasion take place? The Bible says it will come �in the latter days� (Ezekiel 38:8). The original Hebrew word in this verse is �acharith� which means �after-part,latter part, last, close, or end.� In other words, this alliance will form in the last days just prior to the return of Jesus Christ. Ezekiel uses this same word �acharith� eight verses later, when he says the invasion will come �in the last days� (Ezekiel38:16). This is confirmed again when Ezekiel reveals the Russian leader�s thoughts. Gog says to himself, �I will attack the once abandoned cities now populated with the Jews who returnedfrom exile among the nations� (Ezekiel 38:12). This tells us Russia and its allies will attack the land when it�s filled with the exiles who return from among the nations. In other words, the target is modern day Israel. This means the invasion is coming inour day and time. Ezekiel stresses this fact again and again when He says the invasion will occur �after Israel�s people have been gathered from among many nations� (Ezekiel 38:8) and �whenI bring my people home from among the enemy nations� (Ezekiel 39:27). This return home from among many nations has happened only once in all of human history � modern day Israel. While we wait for that moment, the military forces of the three most powerful members of the Gog of Magog alliance � Russia, Iran, and Turkey � are now cooperating in Syria.This puts their joint military forces right on Israel�s border. And not just any border � Israel�s northern border. This is where Ezekiel said the invading force will come from � north of Israel (Ezekiel 38:15; Ezekiel 39:2). Is this a coincidence? Again,I don�t think so. Never in history have these three nations formed an alliance. Now, they�re all stationed directly to Israel�s north. The stage is now set for the fulfillment of the Ezekiel 38-39 prophecies. Turkey has made a strategic choice to align itself with Russia and Iran. Eventually, Russia, Iran,Turkey, and the other nations in the Gog of Magog alliance will send an overwhelming invasion force against Israel (Ezekiel 38:8-9). When they do, God will destroy them and display His power and glory for all the nations to see (Ezekiel 38:23). It�s one moresign of how close we are to the Second Coming of Jesus. Jesus is Coming The rise of the Gog of Magog alliance is a major sign of the end times and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Remember, Ezekiel said this coalition will attack Israel �inthe last days� (Ezekiel 38:16) �after they�ve been gathered from among many nations� (Ezekiel 38:8). The prophet Jeremiah spoke about this same regathering from among the nations. He said God would �gather the remnant of His flock from the nations where hehad driven them and bring them back into the land� (Jeremiah 23:3-4). And then? And then God will �raise up a righteous descendant of King David, a king who will rule the land with wisdom� (Jeremiah 23:5-6). This righteous King is the long-awaited Messiah. Through the prophet Micah, God promised to �gather His exiles and form them into a strong nation.� Then, He promised to �rule from Jerusalem as their king forever� (Micah4:6-7). The modern day nation of Israel is the fulfillment of God�s promise to regather His people back in the land of Israel. So it should come as no surprise to see Russia, Iran, Turkey, and the other nations Ezekiel noted in cooperation with one another.According to the Bible, it�s only a matter of time before they attack Israel (Ezekiel 38:8-9). And after that, it�s only a matter of time before Jesus returns to establish His everlasting Kingdom (Revelation 22:20). Take note � Jesus is coming! ------------------ Iran and the end times - Bill Wilson � www.dailyjot.com The toothless United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency, the body charged with prevention of nuclear weapons expansion, has failed for decades to stop Iran from enrichinguranium for a nuclear bomb. The Bush Administrations relied heavily on the UN�s so-called enforcement. Obama gave Iran a green light and billions in US cash to proceed under the guise of a nuclear prevention agreement. Trump froze Iran�s assets and pulledout of Obama�s agreement. And under Biden, Iran now announces that it has finally achieved the ability to produce a nuclear bomb. Iran has repeatedly proven that paying a terrorist-sponsoring state to stop a nuclear program is among the worst foreign policystrategies. Let us recall a Daily Jot of August 9, 2005 when Iran was �negotiating hard to avoid a showdown with the United Nations Security Council while it continues to build its nuclearprogram, surely in preparation for major prophetic fulfillment as the world enters the end times. The EU-3�France, Germany and Britain�offered the rogue terrorist state all sorts of economic and financial benefits if Iran would stop its nuclear production.An offer several months in the making, Iranian negotiators got just what they wanted�precious time to secretly continue development of nuclear materials. On parallel track, Iran is working with Russian and Chinese scientists to perfect its missile deliverysystems that would include a payload roomy enough to carry the nuclear bomb they continuously deny they are making. �Additionally, Iran has brought in top tunnel engineers from North Korea to design and help build underground facilities undetectable by Western spy satellites. The Iraniansrejected the [EU-3] offer saying that it did not allow for Iran to continue enriching uranium. The matter could be referred to the U.N. Security Council very soon, but Iran has two aces up its sleeve in this international nuclear poker game�China and Russia.Both countries have energy supply and weapons agreements with Iran worth billions of dollars and both countries are proven scoundrels as bribe takers from their permanent positions on the United Nations Security Council. And both countries have a propheticdestiny with Iran. These nations are tied together in an undeniable bond that weaves them into the fabric of the end times.� That was written nearly 17 years ago. Two years before, it was revealed through a defector that Iran had a secret nuclear weapons program. Two years later Russia and Chinaannounced there was no nuclear weapons program in Iran. Today, Iran�s nearly 20-year cat and mouse game appears to have paid off, in a large part thanks to American presidents that enabled and helped pay for it rather than standing up to it as did PresidentTrump. Ezekiel 38 says that in the end of days, Gog of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal (all in Turkey), leads a coalition of Persia (Iran), Libya; and Ethiopia (Sudan) against Israel. When we see Iran, whose stated objective is the destructionof Israel, being brought into such a coalition with Turkey and these prophetic nations aligning against Israel, we know the time of the end is near. ----------------------- The Russia Iran Turkey axis - Bill Wilson � www.dailyjot.com The leaders of Turkey and Russia met in Iran to discuss oil supply chains and mutual security. The Jerusalem Post reported that the gathering �signifies a new era of Turkey- Iran-Russia relations.� No doubt, this meeting has significant prophetic meaning as the three countries continue to build stronger ties both economically and militarily. This meeting drew little public attention beyond Iran�s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameneitelling Russia�s President Vladimir Putin that had he not started the war in Ukraine, NATO would have done it eventually. But the three countries went behind closed doors to discuss several matters including terrorism, military campaigns, and mutual security�allhaving prophetic significance. Ezekiel 38:2 says, ��set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against them.� Magog, Meshech, Tubal are all locatedin what is now modern Turkey. Verse 5 says, �Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them�� Persia is modern day Iran. Turkey and Iran are rivals as they are positioning for control of the Middle East. We know, however, that Magog (Turkey) eventually leads and Persiafollows. These players represent both Shiite and Sunni Muslims who unite against Israel in the �acharit-hayamim,� meaning the end of days. God will destroy them with earthquakes, fire and brimstone. Ezekiel 38: 21 says, ��every man�s sword shall be againsthis brother.� In 2017, tensions between Iran and Turkey were increasing as both countries vie for dominance in the region. The Islamic Sunni Turkey, under Erdogan, has become increasinglytotalitarian and Shiite Iran is a formidable terrorist sponsoring state working to attain nuclear weapons. Turkey has been supporting the terrorist Islamic State, while publicly denying that support, in an effort to block Iran from gaining a stronger footholdin the Middle East. It�s a complicated mix of treacherous foreign policy involving Syria, Iran, Turkey, Israel and several outside forces, including Russia, Europe, and the US. Russia has been supplying weapons and skills to Iran and its vassal state Syriaagainst the Islamic State. For Gog (the beast/antichrist) to lead Magog, Meshech, Tubal, and a broader coalition of what are currently Arab-dominated nations and Persia, against Israel, Persia mustsubmit to Gog. The developments in Iran this week bear careful watch as Erdogan continues to woo Iran and Russia. Iran seeks to gain more Russian support. And Russia wants to solidify its domination over the oil market throughout the region. For the end timebattle of Ezekiel 38 to play out, there must be an alliance, however fragile it may be, to move against Israel. We know that these nations may not trust one another, but a greater distrust, even hate for Israel unites them. Watch Turkey and Iran to see howit all comes together and how Russia, as a member of the UN Security Council runs interference for them. -------------------- Is China Attacking US? - by Bill Perkins - https://compass.org/is-china-attacking-us/ With all the lies coming from our government, from the news and from the Internet, we have to be careful what information we trust. I had a politically well-connected good friend once tell me not to pay attention too much to the news because that's what they want you to think about. Instead, he said it was more important what they don't talk about. He told me this 20 years ago and I'm just now understanding what he meant. Today we see the big media networks all talking about elections. They poll different things and talk about the Democrats or Republicans losing or gaining house seats. They talk about the Supreme Court rulings like Roe vs. Wade and the protests at their personal homes... and now even their neighbors' homes. They'll talk about ridiculous things like men having babies or the push to change men into women or vice-versa. Or other issues like inflation, the border, or the inabilityof Biden to read his teleprompter. But no one is talking about the "elephant in the room"�that va((inated people are dropping dead all over the place. Not unva((inated people, they're doing fine. It's the va((inatedwho are dying. The more va((ine shots they've had, the more likely they'll drop dead. Now we're getting the proof that this is by design�the va((ines were created to kill people. That soundsalmost unbelievable but keep reading. We get little bits of info here and there on this from alternate media. But if you talk about va((ines on social media, it's immediately scrubbed. Well-credentialed doctors are losing their licenses to practice medicine because they point out the obvious fact that va((ines are responsible for most of the unexpected deathshappening every day. So how long can they keep this charade going? Certainly not forever. The deaths are beginning to escalate. So the Globalists/Satanists continue to lie to cover it up as longas possible. WEF We showed in the past that the World Economic Forum (WEF) and its global leader wanna-bes are trying to take over the world. But realistically, that just doesn't pass the sniff test. They have no army, no money and at the moment they actually control zero. All they do is talk. Does the king haveno clothes? Or who is really behind them? There is a country, a quite powerful country, that IS trying to conquer us. And the facts are beginning to emerge. Naomi Wolf, a Clinton policy-lover and liberal feminist blogger who voted for Biden, has been researching the Pfizer document dumps and has assembled an astonishing picture.And she's found that China is in the middle of all of this�their fingerprints are on everything. Wolf is telling everyone who will listen that from her research she believes we are in a war for our country against China...and that we're in the last of ten phases of beingconquered. Her research shows China is controlling Brandon, pulling the strings of our government, disrupting the food and energy distribution, and even messing with our weather. They'rewell on their way to accomplishing our demise. You can listen to the first 3 or 4 minutes of this video for a recap of what she thinks is going on. It's fascinating. Scroll down to find the video interview with Dr. Mercola. CLICKHERE (Just watch the first four minutes for an overview/recap) Wolf is apparently not a born-again Believer, but you get the impression the Lord may be working in her heart because she makes little references here and there to the Messiah.So first and foremost, do pray for her salvation. But continuing with her researching the document dump by Pfizer, she's dumbfounded by what she's finding. In a recent blog titled "Facing the Beast" she wrote: "The enemy is within our very bodies. "Since I first started reading the reports produced by the 3,000 medical and scientific experts of the WarRoom/DailyClout Pfizer Documents Research Volunteers team, basedon the 55,000 Pfizer documents released under court order, I knew I was seeing not just medicine gone wrong, not just a greedy pharmaceutical company and a regulatory agency that was fully corrupted, but rather, or additionally, I was seeing a massive actof war.(1) "When I saw the eighteen months� worth of sudden deaths, slow deaths, encephalies, strokes, heart attacks, pericarditis, myocarditis, Guillain Barre, Bell�s palsy, MS, bloodclots, lung clots, leg clots, blue-green breast milk, spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, neonatal seizures, neonatal multi-organ system failure, liver damage, kidney damage, suppressed lactation, suppressed sperm count, disrupted menses, all detailed in thePfizer documents; "When I saw the fact that 34,000 plus of the 42,000 plus adverse events 'cases' itemized in the worldwide rollout of the Pfizer injections, were sustained in the US � withthe next largest group being sustained in Western Europe � and that the 56 countries around the world that also had Pfizer injections rolled out amounted for only a bit over 7,000 adverse events total � I knew I was seeing not just medicine gone wrong on amassive scale, but rather that I was seeing an act of war. "When I saw the doubling of neonatal deaths in country after country, the rise of 34% above normal in stillbirths and spontaneous abortions for vaccinated versus unvaccinatedmothers; when I saw that 3,816 vaccinated women in the VAERS database lost their babies � 57% of all the neonatal deaths in all the time that VAERS records had been kept;(2) "When I saw that of 36 pregnancies followed in the Pfizer documents, 28 of the babies died(3); when I saw the rise of 40 per cent in death rates and the shocking rise in casesof disability in the West(4) I knew I was not seeing just medicine gone wrong on a massive scale, but that I was witnessing an act of war." The article goes on to show details that factually tie the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) into the va((ines. It's an eye-opener to say the least--and if she is correct, somehowthe WEF is in bed with China. You can read the whole article CLICKHERE. Naomi also believes that in late October a gigantic problem will be foisted on America... just in time for mail-in ballots to be necessary. Hey, ballot stuffing worked in the past, why not use it again! That which has been is that which will be, and that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun. Eccl. 1:9 �Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots?" Jer. 13:23 CQLJ!
