I appreciate how a careful study of Scripture--notably the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, can help us to realize the significance of Turkey's role in last day events.
We have an amazing opportunity as Seventh-day Adventists to help people realize that in the issues surrounding Islam-state relationships, that this presents the same problem that will be seen in the United States when the law regarding the veneration of the Sunday will be enacted in law. When the church is unable to move people by the Word of God and the working of the Holy Spirit, it will inevitably resort to force.
May we pray for the believers in Christ in Turkey that, they will see the real issues at stake, and walk with Jesus in liberty of conscience--even if it costs them their physical life.
Jesus is coming very soon, and as we see prophecy fulfilling all around us, let us take courage that the greatest sign is the maturation of the perfect character of Christ in His people, so that God's glorious character stands revealed to the onlooking universe at the same time as wickedness in humanity is fully mature. The evidence of a living-faith connection with Christ is that all the fruits of the Spirit will be seen in the life--not one will be missing!
