...To me, this is the flashpoint that will kickstart the 7 year tribulation, if it hasn’t started already. Whether that will line up with anything happening in the heavens, only God knows. I think you may be right. And I think that just maybe, this war, and the rapture of the church (not to mention a great - worldwide - shaking), could be simultaneous. |

www.nytimes.com/2018/02/08/world/middleeast/syria-war-idlib.htmlHeadline says “Far From Winding Down, Syria’s War Escalates on Multiple Fronts” From article- “There are multiple fronts where people are under extreme danger without a view to a solution,” Assistant Secretary General Panos Moumtzis, the United Nations’ regional aid coordinator for the Syria crisis, said Tuesday. “We haven’t seen this.” The US just launched air strikes there. The whole country is a tinderbox just waiting for one spark to explode into all out war. Turkey, Russia, Iran, Syrian Army, Kurds, ISIS, United States all fighting over their own patches of land there. And don’t forget Israel, as they obviously have a vested interest in what happens. To me, this is the flashpoint that will kickstart the 7 year tribulation, if it hasn’t started already. Whether that will line up with anything happening in the heavens, only God knows. It's a great thread, sog my brother.
I thought you and mike and gkp and others here would appreciate this latest update related to the escalating Syrian /Israel situation. www.foxnews.com/world/2018/02/13/syria-warns-israel-more-surprises-as-tensions-boil-over-following-iranian-drone-incident.html Another source I read said this latest development - yesterday marks the most intense point in the last 15 years.
Amir Tsarfati and J D Farag both have posted updates about this flash-point.
I don't want to hijack this thread, but I was wondering about the significance of the calls for Netanyahu to resign amidst growing political hits and rumors of fraud but the point of the article I read was that he - Netanyahu is solidly against dividing Jerusalem and the new leader would be a liberal Zionist who supports a two-state solution. This could really speed things up. What's your take, sog, others ?? ?

Such interesting events! disciple4life I believe there might well be something interesting in the heavens that relates to this. I will try to write a post about it this evening, if I can figure out where to put it! |

Yes disciple4life . I posted this in Gary's newest article. If Bibi is out, I think the next guy opens the door to divide God's land. Bad move. |

I believe Netanyahu has been a good conservative leader for Israel, but if these charges are true, then he may very well be replaced. If replaced by a more liberal leader, then you are correct, this could move a peace concession along sooner. As always God is in control and his will be done. edit- sorry Mike, I’m too slow. I’ll copy my response there. |

www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-france/france-will-strike-if-proven-chemical-bombs-used-in-syria-macron-idUSKCN1FX2PTFrench President Emmanuel Macron from article: President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday that “France will strike” if chemical weapons are used against civilians in the Syrian conflict in violation of international treaties, but that he had not yet seen proof this was the case. Macron said last May that the use of chemical weapons would represent a “red line”. In a telephone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday expressed concern over signs that chlorine bombs had been used against civilians in Syria. “On chemical weapons, I set a red line and I reaffirm that red line,” Macron told reporters. “If we have proven evidence that chemical weapons proscribed in treaties are used, we will strike the place where they are made.” Add one more country that is lining up to possibly bomb Syria and Damascus.

www.businessinsider.com/israel-syria-russia-putin-f-16-iran-2018-2From article - Israel had planned further strikes against Iranian and Syrian targets but President Vladimir Putin prevented an all out attack by calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directly. ..."Because we lost the F-16, we decided to respond against many important targets inside Syria," according to Dekel. Among the targets were air defenses, Syrian Army positions, and Iranian positions around Damascus. Israel, Dekel said, wanted "to send a message that we could not accept any idea that they would try to shoot down our aircraft in our skies." [edit] Dekel said that he does not believe this will be the "end of the story." Wow, the situation over there seems extremely fragile. Curious to why Putin would step in? The evil alliance not in position to retaliate yet?

Wow, look at this one ! Turkey renamed the street the US Embassy is on to the name of their Syrian military offensive. A name I argue is meant to be the destruction of Israel. Operation Olive Branch. Definately a provocation. www.sfgate.com/news/world/article/Turkey-renames-US-Embassy-street-after-Syria-12624484.phpANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish authorities on Monday renamed a street where the U.S. Embassy is located with the name of Turkey's military offensive in Syria that had led to tensions between the allies. Ankara municipal workers put up the new sign in Turkish for Olive Branch Street, replacing the one named after late Ankara governor Nevzat Tandogan. Turkey launched Operation Olive Branch last month to drive a Syrian Kurdish militia out of northwest Syria. The militia group is a major U.S. ally in fighting the Islamic State group. Article also said this- In November, Turkey renamed the street where the United Arab Emirates has its embassy after a long-dead Ottoman military commander. Seems Turkey is trying to revive their old Ottoman Empire. “The other is not yet come” from Revelation 17:10 ? |

Hello sog, Fitz, - all my fellowwatchmen. ;-)
I know this doesn't pertain to Turkey, but it's definitely part of the whole situation in Syria, and obviously it affects Israel.
I know there are folks here, who believe the Gog of Magog war is at the end of the Tribulation, and I totally respect that view. I think it's a dual fulfillment. Amir Tsarfati has an excellent video on this - I can't recommend it highly enough -- with that said, I just don't see how anyone can "Not See" that this alliance of Turkey/Russia and Iran (Persia) is boiling over - and like you said, sog, it's a tinderbox and just one spark could light the whole keg. www.foxnews.com/world/2018/02/27/new-satellite-photos-show-iran-establishing-another-base-in-syria.html
Then, we have the whole 70th Anniversary of Israel which falls on the official move of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. I've never, ever ever in my life looked forward to Passover like this year -- ;-) Wow.

Hey disciple4life , That was a good article. Interesting how Russia was described as both arsonist and firefighter fueling the tensions, Iran building bases in Syria near Damascus, and even North Korea providing components for chemical WMD’s to Syria. It continues to look like this evil alliance are lining up their forces for an assault against Israel. How much longer can Israel allow these forces to be built up around them before taking offensive/defensive action? Russia already stepped in once as the “firefighter” to stop an Israeli attack against Damascus. Netanyahu is being weakened by the allegations against him. What will that mean? I agree. The 70th anniversary and Passover are going to be high watch times. To think, this all was probably not possible until 0bama basically funded Iran’s nuclear program and most likely military as well. Without that $1.7 billion in funding Iran probably would not be in a position to help and thus no evil alliance yet. I also think back to 2012 in Seoul, South Korea when 0bama was caught on a hot mic telling then outgoing Russian President Medvedev that Putin should give him more “space” and after election he’d have more “flexibilty” regarding missile defense and other issues. I think we know what that really meant now. Another thought. March 2012 0bama was caught on mic as described above. Two years later, March 2014 0bama is given the first “peace medallion” from Pope Francis. (Read my post on the peace medallions given for my opinion on what those really represented). Two years later, 2016 0bama funds Iran. Two years later, 2018 we could be on the cusp of God’s masterful end-time plan. God is the great time keeper. |
