Turkey sends tanks into northern Syria

BBC ^ | 8/24/16

[Lera]

urkish tanks and other vehicles have rolled across the Syrian border after heavy shelling of an area held by so-called Islamic State (IS).

Military sources told Turkish media 70 targets in the Jarablus area had been destroyed by artillery and rocket strikes, and 12 by air strikes.

Turkish-backed Syrian rebels who are following the advance say they have entered the town of Jarablus itself.

The operation is aimed against both IS and Kurdish fighters.

Turkey shelled Syrian Kurdish forces in the region this week, determined not to let them fill the vacuum if IS leaves.

US Vice-President Joe Biden warned Kurdish forces in Syria they would lose US support if they advanced west of the River Euphrates.

Interesting. Saw a harvest moon about 5 days ago driving back to where I live.

That devastation in Italy was scary stuff. I’m amazed the loss of life wasn’t infinitely higher, thought it’s still a tragedy.

[River Euphrates]

Biblical reference. No doubt accidental on uber-liberal Joe’s part.

[SaveFerris]

[2017]

Just an anectdotal reference here. After the 1917 Turkish release of Jerusalem, 50 years to 1967 and the Israeli recapture of Jerusalem (and then promptly gave 1/2 back).

And now, 50 years after that, 2017.

No way to be sure but the previous two 50-year cycles brought interesting things to Jerusalem.

Let me say it clearly it’s little more than speculation.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

I once had a large poster on a bamboo pole that said “Remember the Kurds and Hue’ (massacre)”. It appeared, partially, on the cover of Time Magazine (Oct. 1969) and in a fuller photo in Newsweek of the same week (about Oct. 12th).

Think I’ll make an updated one that says “Remember the Kurds and Hue’. Nothing changes. The Democrats will sell out anyone who thinks we are their friends.

My next sign will say,”’They used to execute traitors for treason, didn’t they?”

[Mr. M.J.B.]

Yes. On drudge report now - left column.

[Mr. M.J.B.]

Yes, I’ve seen SubMareener’s page and know of it.

An interesting correlation with Judaic eschatology.

[Mr. M.J.B.]

The view from here is it is much more than speculation.

A number of prominent rabbis have youtube videos on the timing of the next few years. It is definitely the ‘end-of-years’. Russia, US, Turkey, Iran, and a few others all warring in Syria...

Regarding the 1967 + 50 cycle...I haven’t seen times like ours since 1967, the Police shootings, riots, divided country, war (or near war), instability, social change, etc.

[SaveFerris]

1967 was definitely a watershed moment, just like 1948.

We are nearing the end of the Church Age, IMHO. I base that on the Signs of the Times, of course.

We’ve had so many pieces that could have implemented the Mark of the Beast for several decades (technology-wise). Credit and Debit cards were a big step towards that. Witness some person struggling to pay for food at a grocery store. I saw it just 2 nights ago (shoot, even me, these past few years).

And now, with the phone pay, microchips in cards,.....well, the world is just awaiting the Man of Sin to be fully revealed.

Wanted: A strong UN leader and peace-maker

http://theelders.org/article/wanted-strong-un-leader-and-peace-maker

Lakhdar Brahimi and Mary Robinson call on the successful candidate for UN Secretary-General to serve one seven year term, to ensure their strength and independence.

7-year term, eh? Well, you’re gonna get it alright.

In case anyone has missed the “great sign in the heavens”.
Revelation Chapter 12:
1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1193). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Previous Bible commentators have taken this as a symbolic vision about Israel (Mary) giving birth to Jesus, and marking the start of the 3 1/2 year Great Tribulation.
However, since “knowledge had increased”, we can use star charting programs such as Stellarium to see that this could be a literal “great sign” in heaven.

The constellation “Virgo”, the Virgin, has always been identified with Mary the Mother of Jesus. The nine stars of Leo, the Lion (of Judah), form a “garland” above her head.
Jupiter has always been identified as the “King” star. It is striped (by His stripes we are healed) and has a large, red spot (they pierced His side).

Here is the sequence of events regarding the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Virgo, Leo, Mercury, Mars and Venus

Mon, 21 November 2016 = 20th of Cheshvan, 5777
Jupiter enters Virgo crossing line from Spica to Porrima

Sat, 28 January 2017 = 1st of Sh’vat, 5777
Jupiter retrograde motion begins inside Virgo. “Gestation” begins??

Sat, 10 June 2017 = 16th of Sivan, 5777
Jupiter prograde motion resumes inside Virgo

Thu, 17 August 2017 = 25th of Av, 5777
Total Solar eclipse across America (from Portland to Charleston)

Sun, 10 September 2017 = 19th of Elul, 5777
Jupiter crosses Heze — Spica line. Virgin gives birth? Conjunction Regulus and Mercury

Wed, 20 September 2017 = 29th of Elul, 5777
New Moon, Venus — Regulus conjunction

Sun, 24 September 2017 = 4th of Tishrei, 5778
Sun at Virgo’s shoulders (clothed), the Moon is at her feet, Mercury, Mars, Venus are added to Leo’s nine stars as Virgo’s 12-star ‘garland’

The great sign in the heaven is complete. This formation has not happened in the past 6000 years and won’t happen again for at least another 2000 years.

Luke 21
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
26 “men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

Graphic says 23 September 2017, as it depends on where you say Virgo’s feet are. Besides, no one knows the day or the hour.

I don’t know for sure if Daniel’s 70th week has started. Sir Issac Newton’s calculation, which required Israel to be back in the land with control of Jerusalem (June 1967) worked out to September 2015. We don’t know if the Anti-Christ confirmed a seven year treaty back then, but it is possible. The colors of the Four Horsemen are White, Red, Black, and, while it is translated as “Pale”, the Greek can be translated as “Green”. These are the colors of the Islamic Nations that are going up against Israel.

The Revelation 12:1-2 Great Sign in the Heavens is September 23-24, 2017, so that would be two years into the Seventieth Week. The Revelation 12:3-4 sign is no where to be seen. However, there are reports of perturbations in the Cassini spacecraft orbit around Saturn, so the “great, fiery red dragon, may be out there as a brown dwarf, which would explain why the Vatican is operating an infrared telescope, called Project Lucifer, here in Arizona.

While there are folks who think that the “called out ones”, usually called the Church, will escape the entire Seventh Week, as I read it we are only offered escape from the final 3 1/2 years if we are counted as worthy, or just before the Anit-Christ is finally revealed, which ever comes first.

So we could very well be in the first half of the Tribulation, or Time of Jacobs Trouble. The thing with Bible Prophecy is that you only really know, for sure, after the event has happened.

So read your Bible and Pray! Do what the Holy Spirit leads you to do in this world, but don’t be too attached to it! Maranatha!

Revelation 12
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth,
to devour her Child as soon as it was born.
5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.
6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

[SaveFerris]

I’m going to go through some of it later. Not sure I agree on all but I’ll make this one comment: Daniel’s 70th week has not started yet, but I think it not far off. Can’t say when, of course, except when the Man of Sin “confirms” the 7-year “peace” agreement which will divide Israel.

I expect the Two Witnesses to preach during the first half of Daniel’s 70th week. Seeing as how they are not prominent on Earth, Israel hasn’t officially been divided with a peace deal.

But, I think we’re getting close to those things. We’ll see.

BTW, gave ya +1 on another thread. ;)

[SVTCobra03]

You can almost hear the steps of the Messiah. Maranatha.

[Mr. M.J.B.]

I didn’t know about that group - super creepy - self appointed (and always capitalized) “The Elders” of the entire world.

A couple on women in their “about” video have psycho/demonic eyes.

[SaveFerris]

Amen. Things are moving rapidly it seems.

[SaveFerris]

I’m sure they do.

I’m sure they’re looking for their Anti-Messiah.

Hope they enjoy it. I’m also sure they’re completely clueless by making that “job requirement” and putting it out there.

Then again, maybe they know exactly what Son of Perdition 2 they’re looking for.

[Mr. M.J.B.]

nuttin’ doin’

Magog - Germany
Meshech - Russia
Tubal - Turkey

Now, spread out!

[caww]

(Alert:....Syria.)

ISIS responsible for chemical weapons attacks, UN inquiry finds.

[EliRoom8]

There are no strong opinions about when the Gog/Magog invasion occurs. Some suggest before the Tribulation, some say mid-trib, and others argue for the Lucifer-led war at the end of the Millenium. Arnold Fruchtenbaum posits that it occurs prior to the Tribulation. The subsequent miraculous defeat of the anti-Israel forces leads the Jews to begin seeking God.

In the stage setting for Gog/Magog we should be looking for the time Russia is in a coalition, not with just Iran, but with Turkey as well.

On related matters: Breitbart reports that Israel fighters just struck at Hezbolah (Iran’s ally) within the Syrian border.

tick . . . tick . . . tick . . .

[BeauBo]

Well that explains why ISIS suddenly evacuated Jarabulus after three years - the Turks told their boys that it would not be safe there, with all the ordnance they would be dropping on the Kurds.

[Mr. M.J.B.]

“Breitbart reports...”

The Book of Revelation is Judaic eschatology (the time of Jacob’s trouble and how God is going to pour out his wrath on the nations that come against Israel in that time ).
It was written by a Jew who followed Jesus after he saw a vision of Israels end times .

There are over 500 references in it to The Law and The Prophets .
