Turkey Continues Move Towards Jerusalem

[Richard Myers]

We have for many years  been pointing out that Turkey is no longer a free republic, but an Islamic State which can no longer remain in NATO. There has little been said about this situation, but we are nearing the end of her ties with NATO. Their battle against the Kurds and their relationship with Russia are opening the wounds very wide.

A recent visit by Erdogan to the US where Trump and five senators gave him opportunity to express his errors proved his intentions are still moving away from NATO. The path he has chosen is incompatible with the West. He is an Islamist and is intent on going to war with Israel over Jerusalem. source

The consolidation of power within Turkey’s executive branch has allowed Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to take unprecedented steps to undermine the nation’s democratic institutions. In particular, the return of the trustee system after the March 31, 2019 elections provides strong evidence that Erdoğan is not only committed to dismantling local democracy, but is also unchecked in these efforts.  source

Protecting Jerusalem is a red line for Turkey, and Ankara will never leave the holy city to the mercy of the occupant Israeli government, state-run Anadolu Agency quoted Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as saying in a speech to the Pakistani parliament on Friday.

“We gave and will continue to give the strongest response to the occupation, annexation and destruction plan announced by the U.S. government a few weeks ago labelled the deal of the century,” Erdoğan said, referring to a plan for the Middle East announced by U.S. President Donald Trump last month.  source

Is Turkey still on the move? Does she really want to re-establish the Ottoman Empire and conquer Jerusalem? Turkey's new caliphate is headed by its leader President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He has sent forces into Libya which has turned the tide in the battle for control of the country. Interestingly he is battling against Russian power which has been involved in Libya for some time. Here is a reference to Turkey and the Ottoman Empire in an article on the subject recently published.

"The triumphs marked a stunning reversal of fortunes for the United Nations-backed Tripoli government, which looked weak and badly besieged by Mr. Hifter until President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey sent troops and armed drones in January. It was Turkey’s most forceful intervention in the oil-rich North African nation since the end of the Ottoman Empire over a century ago." source

How long will the world allow Turkey to continue her march to conquer the whole world beginning with Turkey and then Jerusalem? The caliphate is forming before our very  eyes. How long before America and NATO throw Turkey out of NATO? In the United States we understand there are those in government that want to move Turkey forward. Many, not all, Muslims do not believe in separation of church and state. Turkey has purged those who disagree with Turkey as an Islamic State. Erdogan is king, or better the caliph of the New Ottoman Empire. While many are blind to what has been happening, not all are. But, how many understand that the Bible reveals that Turkey will go into Jerusalem and then will come to her end.

There are some who are seeing the move Turkey is making, but they have not the light we as a people have been given. Many believe Israel re
mains God's chosen people and believe Israel as a country will survive til the end. But, the Bible says otherwise. "And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him." Daniel 11:45.

I don't usually send others to those who teach error, but the speaker I am asking you to listen to, while in error regarding the state of Israel, understands that Turkey is on the move and the result will be huge. Wake up, our redemption draweth nigh.

‘Jerusalem is our city,’ Turkey’s Erdogan declares

“In this city that we had to leave in tears during the First World War, it is still possible to come across traces of the Ottoman resistance. So Jerusalem is our city, a city from us,” he told Turkish lawmakers during a major policy speech in Ankara. “Our first qibla [direction of prayer in Islam] al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem are the symbolic mosques of our faith. In addition, this city is home to the holy places of Christianity and Judaism.”   source

If one were to ask where the hot spots are in the world, what would you respond?  There are many, but the one spot that the whole world is aware of and has been for many years is Israel in the middle of the Islamic world. What has kept Iran from going to all out war with Israel? God has held the winds back. It is only a matter of time before there is all out war. But, now according to Scripture we have a new player that is an old one, Turkey. This comes as a surprise to many because Turkey was a democratic western leaning nation, but that is no more. She is an Islamic state declaring that she is re-establishing the Ottoman Empire. Now she has clearly revealed she believes Jerusalem is her city. Jerusalem, a hot spot indeed! Making Jerusalem the capitol of Israel insured it.

Turkey continues to expand her military power. As she prepares to enter Jerusalem she is showing her muscle in the Mediterranean.

Some want to wait until a prophecy is fulfilled to believe it. That is fine, but to watch it in the process of being fulfilled ought to encourage all, and like Josiah Litch, if it is predicted prior to its fulfillment, it will encourage many who have not had the privilege to understand prophetic principles.

In 1840 another remarkable fulfillment of prophecy excited widespread interest. Two years before, Josiah Litch published an exposition of Revelation 9, predicting the fall of the Ottoman Empire “in A.D. 1840, sometime in the month of August.” Only a few days previous to its accomplishment he wrote: “It will end on the 11th of August, 1840, when the Ottoman power in Constantinople may be expected to be broken.”

At the very time specified, Turkey accepted the protection of the allied powers of Europe and thus placed herself under the control of Christian nations. The event exactly fulfilled the prediction. (See Appendix) Multitudes were convinced of the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted by Miller and his associates. Men of learning and position united with Miller in preaching and publishing his views. From 1840 to 1844 the work rapidly extended.  HF 209.

So it will be in our day.

Among its recent statements is a demand by Turkey to separate Jerusalem from Israel. The latest comments by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan were to demand a “separate arrangement” for Jerusalem.  source

How long will it take before the Western World realizes what Turkey has become under the rulership of Dictator Eddogan and his New Ottoman Empire? Some, while late with their concerns, are objecting.

"Under an authoritarian leader, a once-reliable NATO ally is turning its back on democracy and embracing #Russia. I'm pleased to join the [Turkish Democracy Project's] advisory council to shine a light on the darkening situation," Bolton said.

Jeb Bush echoed similar messages shared by his new colleagues, tweeting on Wednesday: "A democratic Turkey is essential to our security, but Turkish freedom and liberty is fading away. Turkey's authoritarian leader is intent on silencing pro-freedom voices." Neocons Lobby Group

Will Turkey actually go into Jerusalem with their military. They are still members of NATO.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his domestic political allies have floated sending military forces to Jerusalem, including fighter jets, to give Palestinians air cover as the Israel-Hamas crisis gives him an opportunity to boost his regional influence and standing at home.

“If there is a call, let us answer it,” Turkish lawmaker Devlet Bahceli, who leads the nationalist party in a coalition with Erdogan, said Tuesday. “Let us stop the bloodshed and ensure peace and stability.” source      "And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him."
