Biblical Prophecy in 2023

February 9, 2023 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

The Convergence Confirms

Today is February 9, 2023 … The convergence of biblically prophesied events confirm that Jesus/Yeshua is coming back for His church very soon.

Earthquakes

The latest tragedy is still unfolding… a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck last Monday on the border of Turkey and Syria.

Thousands of buildings have collapsed. A second 7.5 magnitude struck hours later, about 100 km to the NW and compounded the destruction.

Over 20,000 people have been killed by the quake.

Wars & Rumors of War

  • Vladimir Putin, Russia’s President since 2012, is amassing 500,000 troops, almost 2,000 tanks, and 700 aircraft for a massive, deeper invasion of Ukraine.
  • China is flying high-altitude intelligence-gathering ‘weather balloons’ over the United States.  This week, on orders of the President, an F-22 fighter jet shot one down just off the coast of South Carolina.

 

People be ready… Look up, for your redemption draws near.

to be continued…

Ezekiel 38 Bonds Strengthen

Turkey, Russia, Iran Alliance Against Israel

Ezekiel-38-bonds-strengthen-740x440Prior to 2018 there appeared to be potential for a developing Turkey-Israel alliance for the distribution of Israel’s Leviathan Project’s natural gas through a pipeline to Turkey and then to the EU.  However, in 2018 Israel agreed to a US-backed 2,000 kilometer-long EastMed undersea natural-gas pipeline deal with Cyprus and Greece to supply the European Union which cut Turkey out of Israel’s Leviathan huge offshore natural-gas discovery.

Last week Turkey made moves to stop the Israel-Cyprus-Greece natural gas deal claiming that “the planned Israeli undersea pipeline infringes on an area claimed by Turkey under an economic agreement reached with Libya.” according to Algemeiner.com  Turkey asked the United Nations to recognize a deal between Turkey and Libya as preceding Israel’s deal and having priority of status.  Turkey’s foreign minister commented that his country was prepared to respond powerfully against anyone who attempted to infringe Turkish sovereignty.

Apparently, the situation is escalating and tensions are increasing as the Turkish Navy forced an Israeli research vessel out of Cypriot waters on Dec. 14th. Turkish news reports the incident as repelling an invasion, “The Turkish Navy did not allow unilateral tenders by the Greek Cypriot Administration (GASC) to invade the Eastern Mediterranean energy fields…The Israeli ship, which stopped its research, was forced to leave the area…Europe’s natural gas pipeline projects will now have to knock on the door of Turkey.”

The latest increase in tensions between Turkey and Israel is worrying. Further provocation from any side could result in armed conflict tied to conflicting territorial disputes and regional rivalries.

Kings of the East

September 23, 2016 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

Just a thought…

Since I was a kid, the commonly accepted understanding was that China would be the source of the vast army which would invade the Middle East. However, in light of current events involving Islam, this understanding may not have been correct.

“And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared…”
– Revelation 16:12

In Revelation 1:1 we read,
“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John”

The Greek word in KJV and NKJV for ‘signified’ is sēmainō which primarily means ‘to give a sign, to signify, indicate’. In other words, to use ‘symbolism’ to describe the events. As suggested by Dr. Harry Ironside of Moody Bible Institute, there are two thoughts regarding the drying up of the Euphrates River:

“The way of the kings of the East is to be prepared by the drying up of the great river that was once the eastern boundary of the Roman Empire. I am inclined to believe that this symbolizes the complete destruction of the Turkish power, which has acted as a buffer between the East and West for so long. Others think it refers to the actual drying up of the river itself, that river which was one of the four that of old went forth from Eden.”

The origin of the Euphrates River is in Turkey, runs through Syria, Iraq to the Persian Gulf.

I’m thinking both may be partially correct; that this involves Turkey and a crossing of the Euphrates River. Drawing a longitudinal line on a map from the headwaters of the Euphrates River in Turkey does put Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Iraq on the ‘East’ side of the line. Just a thought.
