The Prophet Nahum and his tomb have been rehabilitated. Revelation’s ancient city of Smyrna or modern day Izmir, Turkey is in the news. The purpose is to remake ancient Jewish synagogues. These are real people and real places from the Bible and they remain relevant today.
Ezekiel 38-39 continue in the headlines. Turkey is throwing support to their Qaddafi family member in the upcoming Libyan presidential election scheduled for December 25th later this year.
Turkey has been war gaming with Azerbaijan and Pakistan for regional stability and peaceful purposes of course.
Are we watching the emergence of the 10 nation beast of Revelation? Is Daniel’s 4th world empire of iron and clay toes making its way to the political scene? Keep your eyes on the proposed D 10 Alliance. Military alliances are taking shape with Australia, the UK, the US, and South Korea. India and France are forging ties. G7 + 3 = 10? Watching closely…
China is furious with the alliance of Australia, the UK, and the US. Chinese financial problems are looming on the horizon with Evergrande Real Estate.
The United States has withdrawn missile defense systems from Saudi Arabia and moved resources to the Pacific theater. American withdrawal from Middle East continues. Russia is filling the vacuum.
These questions and more are discussed and answered on This Week in Prophecy.
Ezekiel 38-39 remains in the headlines as Russia is practicing war games with Belarus and Kyrgyzstan.
Anti vaccine mandates have taken the globe by storm in the last week. Protests have erupted in the United States, Israel, Austria, Paris, and Istanbul. Israel’s patience is being tested with the unvaccinated and have introduced genetic scanning to stop the spread of COVID and any mutation. Are these government mandates tying people’s behavior to economic participation a forerunner to the mark of the beast?
It would appear Revelation 9’s 200,000,000 man army is on the move in Afghanistan.
Daniel 9:26b …Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed.
These questions and more are discussed and answered on This Week in Prophecy.
On This Week in Prophecy we go around the world and take a look at events that align with the signs of the times according to the prophets, apostles, and Jesus.
We start with Jesus and a coin discovered near Tel Aviv.
Ezekiel 38-39 continues to dominate the headlines. Russia and China look to work together in the name of peace for stability in Afghanistan and the region. Russia, Iran, and China look to a naval exercise possibly later this year in the Persian Gulf, for peaceful purposes of course against piracy. Vladimir Putin looks to build and expand Russian naval capability. The build towards Magog’s attempted invasion of Israel continues.
Federal Reserve Chairman Powell had his big speech this past week from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The result, more money, more money, more money!!! Hello more inflation!!! Mind you the Chairman’s models suggest that inflation is “transitory”. Revelation 6 calls for hyperinflation at the onset of the Tribulation. So we watch.
President Biden took a nap in the Oval Office with Israeli Prime Minister Bennett. The leader of the free world is figuratively and literally asleep at the wheel.
Lastly, is the shofar a vector for the spread of COVID19??? Jewish concerns and questions ahead of the Fall Feasts?

For those of you interested in the Ezekiel 38-39 prophecy. This is must watch stuff.
14 years in the making, a fifty year offshore gas exploration and extraction contract for the Russians in Syria. What does it mean for their future? How far will the Russians go to secure their investment? https://valortube.com/?status/34-34-1623514371/
May 12, 2021: Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin shared a phone call today.
President Erdogan has recommended “the international community to give Israel a strong and deterrent lesson”. Erdogan also called on the United Nations Security Council to give Israel “determined and clear messages”.
Erdogan also recommended an international force to be dispatched to protect the Palestinian people.
Is the current military conflict we are watching a catalyst that brings Ezekiel’s prophecy into focus.
Russia will be joined by several countries in their future invasion of Israel (Ezekiel 38-39). One of those countries is modern day Turkey. At some point in the future, Russia is prophesied to invade Israel. The Bible says Russia and Turkey are going to join forces.
President Joe Biden finally has a public appearance on the issue. His statement was issued by Twitter and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
One can only wonder how the world views President Biden. Are rogue states and terrorist organizations emboldened to act by perceived weakness? Will this perception allow for Russia and allies to coalesce in strength and power against Israel?
Prime Minister Netanyahu said that Israel would continue to take action to strike at the military capabilities of Hamas and the other terrorist organizations operating in the Gaza Strip.
— Prime Minister of Israel (@IsraeliPM) May 12, 2021
The Hamas military wing Al-Qassam Brigades has launched 15 missiles at the Dimona Nuclear Facility in southern Israel. The facility was not hit. This will not be received well with Israeli leadership.
April 14, 2021: Today is Israel’s 73rd year of rebirth of being a state. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu marked the occasion with remarks regarding the handling of the Corona Virus. His statements included commentary of the previous year’s Abraham Accords with Arab neighbors in the “Circle of Peace”. For complete comments, see the video provided via Twitter.
Today also marked a missile attack on an Israeli commercial ship, the Hyperion Ray. The ship is reported to transport cars. Multiple news outlets around the world are reporting Iran likely carried out the attack. The incident occurred off the coast of the United Arab Emirates in the Gulf of Oman. Injuries are not reported at the time of this post. Damage to the ship is reported to be light.
Belgian frigate BNS Leopold I is patrolling in the Gulf of Oman, in an area where the Israeli-owned vehicles carrier Hyperion Ray was attacked. The exact current position of that ship is unknown. Leopold I is an asset of a European naval mission near the Strait of Hormuz, EMASOH. pic.twitter.com/O7Pg9iXkBU
The attack comes on the heels of Iran’s nuclear facility at Natanz being struck. Two days ago Iran’s nuclear site was struck by a cyber attack which resulted in an explosion. Thousands of centrifuges, which were reported to be at least 150 feet underground, were destroyed.
Israeli press referred to the event as an “accident”. Iranian press referred to the event as “terrorism”. Initially it was reported as an electrical “black out”.
This is the same facility in Natanz that was struck in July of 2020. This time a different part of the plant was affected.
The BBC has provided a comprehensive look at the attack, the scientific process of how centrifuges work, and the geo-political situation surrounding recent events. Click on the link below.
The same day the “accident” occurred in Natanz, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu met with U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. Netanyahu stated he will not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons. See the video link below for Netanyahu’s comments.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met today with US @SecDef Lloyd Austin: "Welcome to Jerusalem. Your visit here so soon after assuming office is a testament to the importance you attach to our friendship and to our alliance."
Ezekiel 38:5 Persia, Ethiopia and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet…
At some point in the future, the prophet Ezekiel tells us Iran will join forces with Russia and look to invade Israel from the north. Russia and its allies will receive a Divine whipping. See Ezekiel 38-39 for the details.
Iranian assets have been exploding throughout the country and at sea for the last year.
Washington, D.C., October 23, 2020: President Donald Trump announced yet another historic peace deal. This time, Israel and Sudan are partners. Sudan has been entered as a member of the expanding Abraham Accords.
President Trump made the announcement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and Sudan’s Chairman of the Sovereignty Council General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on a conference call. Below is a YouTube link of the press conference from the White House.
The focus of the plan is cooperation in agriculture, economy, trade, aviation, and migration issues.
November 2017: Russian President Vladimir Putin invited then Sudan President Omar al-Bashir to Sochi for a meeting. Sudan was asking for Russian protection against American aggression. The Sudan president was removed in a coup. He was wanted by the International Criminal Court for genocide and war crimes. Omar al-Bashir is currently in jail for several accounts of corruption.
Genesis 2:13 The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush.
This is the first mention in the Bible of the land south of Egypt. The Hebrew word is Cush. It is translated as Cush or Ethiopia in the biblical text. It is a land in the southern Nile River valley. This is modern day Sudan.
Ezekiel 38:5 Persia, Ethiopia and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet…
With this announcement, we have some intrigue on Magog’s southern front…
The prophet Ezekiel stated Russia, Turkey, Iran and allies are prophesied to invade Israel (Ezekiel 38-39). Arguably, Sudan may join Gog and Magog (modern day Russia) in their invasion of Israel at some point in the future.
Daniel 9:27a He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven’…
August 24, 2016: Russian President Vladimir Putin has been in conversation with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding intensive peace talks.
A spokesperson for Netanyahu indicated the Prime Minister was ready to negotiate “anywhere, anytime, for direct peace talks with no preconditions.”
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi stated, “Putin has told me that he is ready to receive both [Abbas] and Netanyahu in Moscow to carry out direct talks to find a solution and solve the issue.”
Vladimir Putin wants to host the talks in Moscow, Russia. Putin is making a serious effort to replace the United States as the power broker in the region.
There is a lot of speculation that Vladimir Putin is the antichrist. Do your own homework.
Personally, I think he has a better shot of being Gog, the leader of Magog (Russia), in Ezekiel 38-39. Gog is leader who decides to a lead of coalition of nations to invade Israel from the north.
The Bible and ancient historians point to the fact the land of Magog is modern day Russia. See linked post.
All that said, Putin may have no role in the end times scenario. It simply may not be time for that. Again, do your own homework.
The antichrist and Gog have two distinct destinies. These are two different people.
Gog: He is going to die and be buried in Israel. There will be a memorial in honor of Gog. He gets an entire valley named in remembrance of his death and military loss.
Ezekiel 39:4 “You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you as food to every kind of predatory bird and beast of the field. You will fall on the open field; for it is I who have spoken,” declares the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel 39:11 On that day I will give Gog a burial ground there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea, and it will block off those who would pass by. So they will bury Gog there with all his horde, and they will call it the valley of Hamon-gog.
Antichrist: He does not die. He is thrown alive into the Lake of Fire. The antichrist and the false prophet spend 1,000 years all by themselves before they get any company.
Revelation 19:20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
Ezekiel 38:1-3 The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him and say, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
Ezekiel 38:6 Gomer and all his hordes; Beth-Togarmah from the uttermost parts of the north with all his hordes—many peoples are with you.
The Bible and ancient historians point to the fact the land of Magog is modern day Russia. See attached post.
Ezekiel 38:5 Persia, Ethiopia and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet…
Russia will be joined by several countries with their future invasion of Israel (Ezekiel 38-39). Chief among those countries is Persia. This is modern day Iran. The country was known as Persia until the name change in the 20th century.
For Scripture support indicating Persia and Elam are modern day Iran, see the link below.
Iran and Turkey have struggled in the past for regional power and dominance.
In a strange twist, Iran supports the President Erdogan in Turkey. Strange in that Erdogan and Turkey are Sunni Muslims and the Iranian regime is Shia. These two countries disagree on how to manage Syria. History says Shia and Sunni do not get along and are competing factions of Islam.
August 7, 2016: Over 1 million Turks participated in the Democracy and Martyrs’ Rally in Istanbul. President Recep Erdogan announced he was in support of reinstituting the death penalty. This act is a step away from Europe.
He was also able to get all three of Turkey’s political party on the same page. This is being hailed as an incredible display of unity. There was worldwide media coverage of the event.
August 8, 2016 a lawmaker in Turkey has called for the closure of the Incirlik Air Base. He says the US/NATO occupied air base is a “virus” in the Middle East. It is viewed as a threat to the security of Turkey. President Erdogan is uniting Turkey.
August 8, 2016 Vladimir Putin met the leader of Iran Hassan Rouhani to increase military ties. Iran received military equipment including defense missiles. They continue to agree on the management of Syria. The meeting took place in Azerbaijan.
August 9, 2016 President Erdogan traveled to Russia to meet with “his good friend” President Vladimir Putin. “This is a historic visit, a new beginning,” Erdogan said. The two countries look forward to restoring economic trade and ties. Let troubles of the past and downed aircraft be gone…
President Putin is now playing both sides of the Muslim equation, Sunni (Turkey) and Shia (Iran).
Russia, Turkey, and Iran are strengthening their political, economic, and military ties.
Is this blog identifying Recep Erdogan as the antichrist? NO!
Is this blog identifying Vladimir Putin as Gog? NO!
Is this blog stating current events of 2016 are the beginning of the fulfillment of the prophecy from Ezekiel 38-39? NO!
Is the group of nations assembling as written approximately 2,700 years ago by the prophet Ezekiel in chapter 38? YES and it definitely merits our attention. This group of nations has never been allied in the past. They have spent their history fighting against each other.
Ezekiel 38:1-3 The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him and say, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
Ezekiel 38:6 Gomer and all his hordes; Beth-Togarmah from the uttermost parts of the north with all his hordes—many peoples are with you.
For Scripture support indicating these areas being Turkey, see the link below.
It has been one week (July 22, 2016) after the failed coup in Turkey. A state of emergency has been declared in Turkey. Can you say “Power Grab”!
President Erdogan has fired or suspended approximately 50,000 people in the government crackdown.
Here is a brief list of those fired and/or detained. Statistics provided most by the state run news agency Anadolu.
118 generals and admirals detained.
8,777 Ministry of Interior personnel (police) suspended.
100 Turkish intelligence service personnel captured.
21,738 teachers in private institutions licenses revoked.
1,577 university deans have been asked to resign.
2,745 judges and prosecutors listed for detention. –
24 radio and television companies’ licenses revoked.
Some of the police and military personnel have been detained and stripped down to their underwear. Once detained in a large building, they are subjected to a talk from the president regarding their actions in the attempted coup.
Erdogan is now calling to reinstitute the death penalty.
In the Muslim world, President Erdogan is being hailed as a messianic figure. Sunni Muslim scholars have declared Erdogan the supreme leader of the Muslim world. A letter of declaration was sent by Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, president of the World Federation of Muslim Scholars. The letter was viewed as heaven sent. It states: “Allah is with you and all Arab and Muslim nations are with you including all freedom loving people are with you. We, all the Muslim scholars, in the four corners of the globe, are with you. The Angel Gabriel and the righteous one [in heaven] are with you. And after that the angels will be revealed.”
Some see President Erdogan as the promised Mahdi, the Muslim Messianic figure.
