OPINION (ETH) – This headline from Breaking Israel News should get anyone’s attention who is familiar with Bible Prophecy and the major end-time war that is foretold to happen in the future found in the Book of Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39.
The report is indicating that talks with Russian officials over the intensifying military conflict in Syria have failed, leaving Turkey’s President Recep Tayyib Erdogan to issue his “final warnings” to Russia! “We are making our final warnings,” Erdogan went on to say “We did not reach the desired results in our talks (with Russia) . . . . A (Turkish) offensive in Idlib is only a matter of time.”
On Thursday, Turkish troops were seen with heavy weapons entering northern Idlib while Turkey carried out military actions against Syrian army positions. As a result of this, the Russian air force reportedly came to the aid of the Syrian army, bombing Turkish positions in the region. As a result of the strikes, it has been reported that at least 50 Syrian soldiers and members of the Iranian-backed Shiite militias were killed while Turkey has reported the loss of two soldiers. The strikes from the Turkish military and their Islamist rebel allies also resulted in the destruction of five tanks and four armored vehicles belonging to the pro-Assad troops.
Meanwhile, a Jewish Rabbi Pinchas Winston, who is deemed to be a prolific end-of-days author, is emphasizing that to understand current events, it is important to identify the nations in a prophetic/historical context. This statement was in regards to the Nations involved in this current conflict. “What is called Turkey today is a thin veneer over what is still the Ottoman Empire,” Rabbi Winston told Breaking Israel News. “Russia is clearly playing the role of Edom.”
BIN reports that Rabbi Winston explained that Edom, the descendants of Esau, were separated into several nations, each epitomizing a different archetypal characteristic of their forefather. “The arrogance of Esau became Russia under the communists,” Rabbi Winston said, citing the decidedly anti-religious aspect of communism. “The ultimate arrogance is when a man becomes an atheist and says there is no God; there is only me.” “What you have to ask yourself is are the events unfolding in front of us a distraction or are they the main event. Even if it is a seemingly small event, it could contain within it the sparks that will cause a much larger event to burst into flame.”
Russia and Turkey have gone to war with one another in at least a dozen times since the 16th Century but
Even though there is a long history of conflict between these two countries, Rabbi Winston claims “The sparks of Gog and Magog may be contained within the current conflict. “It is known that the Gog and Magog will come from the north,” The Rabbi went on to warn that a war between Turkey and Russia was predicted to be the precursor to the pre-Messiah War of Gog and Magog.
