Murders in Turkey

Turkey is getting less safe, especially for independent journalists. This is the latest death in a strong of murders of people who fight for our expose the truth.

Turkey is now proven to be in bed with IS right to the top, with the president making mega dollars from illegal oil trade from IS. I used to think is like to visit Turkey, it was a real wish and top of my list apart from England. I now wonder if Turkey is putting itself in harms way by its support of and profiteering from the USA / IS sham. Whilst the EU may be complicit, Russia may not stand idly and watch USA / IS / Turkey lying and profiteering from Syria. Watch this space, because I don't believe it's ending; quite the contrary : I think it's just really beginning and may be bigger than any of us imagined.

Russia / Turkey conflict scenarios

Good for thought after reading the following article NEWS: Russia, Armenia unite air defenses, create regional system in the Caucasus https://www.rt.com/news/326869-russia-armenia-airdefense-caucasus/

It seems Russia has made and is making closer ties with former Soviet Republics. This consolidation is certainly necessary given the solid push NATO has made into the region.
Is also important because the region is polarising yet more. Turkey, Ukraine and EU are making it more difficult trade wise, and Russia is now trading more fully with the BRICS countries.

What would it take for NATO to confront Russia militarily? Certainly it is already happening in the hot spots such as Syria and Ukraine (recent admissions and Russian Spetznav forces have been involved, and is blatantly obvious NATO/USA have been in there too). What about Russian soil? I don't think it's likely; at least not yet. Perhaps more likely is a staunch over the Arctic land / resources grab that's be going on.

Because Russia is in the process of placing 150,000 troops in Syria, and Russian influence is also extending south from Russia somewhat, they area making quite an impression in the region.

The next question is where all this fits prophetically. The Gog & Magog war talks about the King of the North moving forces southward, and approaching Israel. Russia has long had eyes for Israel, so this is looking quite credible. What we don't really know is timing or dependencies.

If we do see Russia invade southwards and attack Turkey, there will be a major confrontation. I think it highly likely EU/NATO would enter a conflict in support of Turkey; whilst Iran and China would side decisively with Russia.

If Russia vs Turkey does materialise, there are two streams of thought on prophetic context I'm aware of, with implications :

a) Russia will conquer Turkey and probably march on towards Israel. Opinion is divided based on prophetic symbolism and interpretation whether NATO/USA/EU would seriously intervene. 

b) Believers that the Anti-Christ will come from Turkey largely see IS/ISIS & Turkey being victorious (based partly on the Seat of Satan being there). They don't tend to consider Ezekiel 38-39 and Gog & Magog much, probably because all their energy is fixated on finding the identity and origin of the Anti-Christ.

Regardless of our prophetic viewpoint, it seems the amassing of heavily equipped military forces in the region is a sure sign that conflict is present and a wider war could easily erupt. What ever does transpire, we will come to realise context if we look to the scriptures, and this will in turn give us more confidence in our Lord's agenda as it's is progressively revealed. Here also we'll find reassurance and peace, in our God.

USA/NATO & Russia crowding in to Syria as tensions increase

I have mentioned a number of times that USA/NATO are pushing eastward from Europe against Russia. They are also if course changing regimes in the Middle East. There are developments we needed to keep an eye on as regards Syria and Turkey

Syria has long been on the globalist's list of countries for regime change, and USA/NATO a their agent in this respect. Kerri this on mind.

Turkey is in the pocket of the globalists. It is a pawn of USA, a covert dealer and supported of ISIS/IS, including mass shipments of oil from Syria into Turkey; much to the benefit of the Turkish PM and his cronies.

Enter Russia, effectively cleaning up Syria where the USA could not seem to do a thing. Russia is landing 150,000 ground trips in Syria to back Assad and preserve the current government of Syria.

Back lash:
=========
1. Ukraine is hitting Eastern Ukraine's pro-Russian activists hard to do jam up Russian ready Joyce's
2.  I / NATO is making trouble in Crimea, including causing power cuts. Again it, to disrupt and use up resources
3. USA is putting more trips on the ground in Syria when Obama said they definitely would not, promoting a conflict between USA/NATO and the Russian coalition.
4. Turkey is distill Russian shipping through the Bospherus Strait; perhaps the busiest, most congested and most dangerous body of water in the world. If Turkey succeeds in budgeting and delaying Russia, the Russian Navy may have no choice but to push through aggressively.

Up for grabs!
===========
Up for grabs is Syria and then surrounding counties, including Iran. Yes, good ole Uncle Sam is making nice noises to and about Iran now, but don't let that fool you. They want regime change. They want Iran, it's oil and other resources, and its geo-political advantage as their very own.

Russia is not about to allow that to happen, not is Iran . Remember the world's largest oil reserves sit under the Golan Heights. This is legally Syrian territory, but was addressed by Ideal as the spoils of war some years ago. No one talks about this in mainstream media, but it is an absolutely massive prize. And don't be fooled about not needing oil because of green power. Most of our plastics and chemicals come from oil. There's decades of research and development in them, and change would needed to occur gradually. It just can't happen overnight.

On the stage
===========
So, to my understanding, we already have on the world stage in the Middle East:

In the blue team...
USA
Israel
Canada?
Germany
France
UK
Other EU forces?
Turkey

In the red team...
Syria
Russia
China
Iran
India?

Basically there are a stack of polarised forces crowding into the region as the game escalates. If this doesn't wind down soon, were probably looking at a more direct confrontation between the opposing teams with the gloves offer and lying diplomacy giving way to more direct and vindictive rhetoric.

I need to research further who's in there and keep track of what's escalating, but on e thing is clear: it's escalating as I've never seen before, the stakes are genuinely high and the gloves are coming off.

If you are a leading person, now is the time to use your knees.

Lastly, Russia is bitterly opposed to Turkey. There have been many conflicts over the years between Eastern Orthodox Russia and Moslem Turkey. The Russians want Constantinople back. The Russians would like to see Turkey dissolved. Given the sneaky, dishonest role Turkey has played with IS and USA, if things get a bit more tense, we may yet see Russia walk into Turkey.

What's going on when USA and Russia agree?

“Russia and the United States agree that you can't defeat Daesh without also deescalating the fight in Syria,” the Secretary of State (KERRY) said, adding that both Moscow and Washington are “focused on political process” and that“Syrians will be making decisions on the future of Syria.”

Soldiers celebrating at Christmas

When there's a strategic victory, you will often see soldiers celebrating. Such was the case two thousand years ago when a major incursion was made that lead to an amazing victory.

The incursion was the birth of Jesus Christ. His birth may have been quiet and lowly, but there was a horde, a huge company, of soldiers of the heavenly host present as witnessed by shepherds out in the fields watching their flocks. This was their king and leader commencing his mission to free millions of captives from an evil overlord.

The war was on. It took everything Media Christ had to break the captives free, but eventually a decisive victory belonged to Christ. He has the legal title to the people who are enslaved and the territory that was occupied by the enemy, and he will one day return with the army of heaven to lock up the evil overlord and fully establish his Kingdom here on earth.

How do I know it was heavenly soldiers that announced his coming to the shepherds? Look at the original language in Luke 2:12-14.

 12  And this will be a sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a feeding trough.”
 13  Suddenly, a multitude of the Heavenly Army appeared with the angel, praising God by saying,
 14  “Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth to people who enjoy his favor!”

That word ARMY in the original language is στρατία α.

Transliteration: stratia
Phonetic: strat-ee'-ah

Thayer Definition:
an army, band of soldiersin the NT, the hosts of heaventroops of angelsthe heavenly bodies, stars of heaven (so called on account of their number and their order)

Origin: from a derivative of stratos (an army from the base of G4766, as encamped)
TDNT entry: 18:41,1
Part(s) of speech: Noun Feminine

Strong's Definition: Feminine of a derivative of στρατός stratos (anarmy ; from the base ofG4766, as encamped);camp likeness, that is, anarmy, that is, (figuratively) the angels, the celestial luminaries: - host.

What's going on when USA and Russia agree?

“Russia and the United States agree that you can't defeat Daesh without also deescalating the fight in Syria,” the Secretary of State (KERRY) said, adding that both Moscow and Washington are “focused on political process” and that“Syrians will be making decisions on the future of Syria.”
