Growing ties between Turkey, China, Iran worry Israel and U.S

The United States and Israel are watching with concern the growing military cooperation among Turkey, China and Iran, especially following a joint Turkish-Chinese air-force exercise last week.

Until two years ago Israel was Turkey's main partner for air combat training.

In 2001 the Turkish air force inaugurated a tactical air warfare center in Konya with Israel and the United States.

Until 2008 the Israel Air Force was a frequent guest in Turkey's sky and a regular participant in the country's big annual exercise, Anatolian Eagle.

Okay, what the hell has gone wrong with Turkey over the past several years??? Does anyone know? They are in NATO for crying out loud. Is there some type of longing to restart the Ottoman Empire????

[himno hero]

I think that is a gross understatement. NATO? Part of their Islamic Taqiyya. OBL was out trying to start the fires globally and the fire has been kindled. Iran is on a full tilt drive to that goal.

A few years ago — well, about forty years ago — someone was telling me that the vast numbers arrayed against Israel in the Book of Revelation were a Chinese army. I didn't buy it, figuring ‘what do the Chinese care about Israel?’.

Now.....?

Turkey has an officially secular government, but it’s an islamic and islamist country.

Russia, Iran, and Allies Will Attack and Invade Israel

Ezekiel 38 - 39 . . .

The Bible warns Iran (Persia), with Russia (’Magog’), and a coalition of allies (including Turkey and Sudan) will go to war, and will attack and will invade Israel. In Ezekiel 38-39 the Bible warns this coming war between Iran (Persia) and Israel will take place sometime after Israel has been re-gathered into Her land as a nation (which was fulfilled on May 14, 1948) ... this prophetic war has never yet taken place ... the only time in history Persia (Iran) has ever gone to war against Israel was to help Israel throw off the yoke of the Byzantine Empire around 614 AD. The Bible warns the US will NOT defend Israel. According to the Bible, Israel must stand alone ... with God. For when this coming war does finally start, the United States (for reasons yet unknown) will be unable or unwilling to help Israel defend herself. Although the Bible warns the invading armies will be ultimately destroyed by God, it will be a devastating war for both Israel and the whole world. Bible scholars are divided as to whether this coming war is part of the prophetic battle of Armageddon or will just precede the battle of Armageddon in order to prepare the path for the coming Antichrist (a coming ‘world leader’ who will enforce a ‘peace plan’ upon Israel). All people of the world should be sitting on the edge of their seats with white knuckles watching this terrible prophecy slowly start to unfold ... while believing Christians (followers ... both Jew and Gentile ... of Jesus (Yeshua), the promised Messiah) are told to “examine” themselves in the Word and in faith to insure they are not just ‘almost’ Christians (Matthew 7:21-23) who are “lukewarm” in their faith in God’s Word (Revelation 3:14-16) ... for Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah warns all to, “Watch, therefore, and pray always (not just sometimes), that you will be counted worthy (through His worthiness) to escape all these things (the terrible events of the coming ‘Apocalypse’) that will come to pass” ... (Luke 21:36) ... for He also warns that never in the history of Mankind has there been (or will there be) anything as terrible as the coming “Apocalypse” (also called the “Great Tribulation”... Matthew 24:21 ... and “the time of Jacob’s (Israel’s) trouble”... Jeremiah 30:7) and only a small remnant of the world will survive ... yet, the Bible promises believing Christians (faithful and sincere believers in Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha’Mashiach in Hebrew) who are alive at that time and have endured in their faith in God’s Word are not “appointed” to this coming time of “God’s wrath” that will be “poured out” upon the “whole world”... (1 Thessalonians 1:10 ... 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11)

Ding Ding Ding!!!! We have a winner!!!

We are living in Biblically historic times and most folks walk around completely oblivious to the prophesied events coalescing right in front of their eyes. I count myself blessed to be present at the specific point in history where I can see these events unfold.

[PLD]

Thanks, I just wish more people would see what is right befor their eyes..

[PLD]

You are so right and it is such a shame most people would call us crazy..They had better wake up..I know when it is time I am ready..

I just had the feeling when this man Obama was elected it was getting closer to the end because I was one of the the ones that read his history and how he came from such a filthy sick family..I don't how ever think he is the Anti Christ..Maybe his brother...

[CynicalBear]

>>I don’t how ever think he is the Anti Christ<<

He actually has more attributes then anyone in history. Remember also that is ancestry is actually Arab which would lead beck to the Old Roman Empire. He is in a position to transition to world leadership if he should become the UN secretary. He also has no real religious affiliation but seems to be positioning himself as friend to the Christian and Muslim faiths.

[CynicalBear]

That battle has to be pre Tribulation. It states that Israel will take 7 months to clean up after the war. There will not be that 7 months after the battle of Armageddon.
