MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

The prophet Ezekiel 2,600 years ago foresaw a war that would take place just prior to the Second Coming of Christ, one that would end with Yahweh Himself physically intervening against the invading armies and changing world history forever. According to Ezekiel, Turkey would be at the forefront of a coalition of nations that would come against Israel, with Iran from the east and Libya & Sudan from the west mentioned by name specifically as nations that would march in lockstep with Turkey’s lead. Is it just some astounding coincidence that, more than two millennia later, the very nations singled out by the prophet Ezekiel now openly stand in virulent opposition against a re-establish Israel? Is it a freakish happenstance that the very nation singled out by Ezekiel as leading this coalition is today the very nation that is both exercising significant political & military influence of the nations prophesied to be with them and is openly calling upon the surrounding nations to unite against Israel? In the world of Bible prophecy, my friends, there are no coincidences …

Ezekiel 38:3-5a, “… This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal [Turkey]. I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army … Persia [Iran], Cush [Sudan] and Put [Libya] will be with them …”

The New Arab – Turkey And Libya Strengthens Ties – “Turkey’s role in Libya has undergone a remarkable transformation over the last 14 years. Back in 2011, Ankara, a NATO member, initially rejected a military intervention, offering mediation instead between the then-Gaddafi government and rebels.

Two months later, it joined the military campaign in support of the rebels, eventually toppling the Gaddafi government. By September 2011, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, then prime minister, landed in Tripoli to tell Libyans that Turkey stands with them as brothers.

By 2021, he said that ‘Turkey’s success in Libya, both diplomatically and militarily, has led to a reshuffling of the cards – not only in the Mediterranean, but across the world’. His assessment proved prescient.

Today, Ankara is no longer the hesitant regional power it once was, but a de facto regional superpower, outfoxing nearly all others, including major international actors who, back in 2011, poured political capital and military resources into Libya in an attempt to remould the country to their liking.

Turkey today not only dominates the political scene in the fractured country, but also wields decisive influence over its future …

Its role as guarantor of a recent peace deal between the Radaa militia and the Government of National Unity (GNU), averting clashes in Tripoli, underscores this reality. As Libyan expert Hafed Al-Ghwell, a senior fellow at Johns Hopkins University, told The New Arab, ‘nothing happens today in Libya without Turkiye‘ …

Today, Turkey controls military bases, enforces binding security agreements, wields a controversial maritime memorandum of understanding, and secures lucrative economic contracts – cementing its influence across western Libya.

With Western powers fractured and regional rivals hesitant, Ankara has become Tripoli’s indispensable partner.” Read more.

Turkey And Sudan: A Growing Alliance – “As in Libya in 2019, foreign powers, including Turkey, have intervened in Sudan to support their local allies with weapons and mercenaries… Turkey’s involvement in Sudan underscores its ambition to expand its influence in East Africa and the Red Sea region… Following the outbreak of the war in April 2023, President Erdoğan received General al-Burhan at his palace in Ankara in September 2023, and the two held a closed-door meeting in New York one year later in 2024. After the second meeting, Erdoğan remarked, ‘Türkiye’s relations with Sudan are developing with each passing day, and the solidarity between the two countries will continue to grow stronger.’ … Turkey’s involvement in Sudan aligns with Ankara’s broader regional strategy, as demonstrated by its interventions in Libya …” Read more.

A Neo-Ottoman Crescent Is Rising As The Shi’ite Crescent Crumbles – “It seems that the term ‘total victory’ does not apply to the Middle East, because in this region one never truly wins – one merely replaces adversaries. For the first time in decades, Israel has managed to deliver a crushing blow to the Shi’ite axis led by Iran. The Shi’ite Crescent, stretching from Tehran through Baghdad and Damascus to Beirut, has been dismantled. This is a remarkable strategic achievement, credited to Israel’s unprecedented boldness, ingenuity, and creativity on the battlefield. Yet in the Middle East, every vacuum fills quickly. The collapse of the Iranian threat is now giving way to a new one, equally deep but far more sophisticated and subtle – the neo-Ottomanism of the Muslim Brotherhood, led by Turkey and Qatar… even as Hamas is crumbling in Gaza, it may well be reborn in new forms, sustained by the Brotherhood network that surrounds it. Already now, with the fighting in Gaza subsiding, we see Ankara and Doha’s fingerprints on nearly every aspect of the ‘day after.’” Read more.
