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.”
