Israel and Turkey part IV.

There is more news to report on the rapidly deteriorating relations between Israel and Turkey.  I have linked two articles that dive more into this topic.  Here is the first.

This article details how Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan has said Israel's reaction to last year's flotilla was an act of war.  You can read the article for all of the details and all of his reasons, but you can see how he is setting the stage to engage Israel militarily if there is a flotilla type situation in the near future.  We know Turkey will be part of the Gog-Magog coalition of Ezekiel 38-39.  The military confrontation between these two is inevitable.  Is this the buildup to Gog-Magog, or a preview confrontation that will be part of the buildup?  Only time will tell. 

Before moving on to the next article, I want to make one more comment about this one.  I found the concluding sentence of this article to be the most interesting part of the whole piece.  It reads like this:

Erdogan is expected to give a speech on Monday at Cairo University, where his aides say he will set out Turkey's vision for the region. 

The Antichrist will come out of a coalition of nations that will arise in this region of the world.  Turkey has long desired to build a union of nations in the Middle-East similar to the EU in Europe.  Recently Turkey has been positioning itself to be a leader in the region.  It seems like they are trying to build their ties with the Islamic nations of the region.  Perhaps this is a first step in trying to form an organized group.  Could this be the forerunner of the kingdom of the beast?  It will be interesting to see what Erdogan's "vision for the region" is. 

Here is the second article:

This article states how Turkey is sending three warships to the eastern Mediterranean to protect Gaza "if necessary."  In my opinion this comes across as Turkey getting ready for a fight.  With their recent posturing in regard to Israel, I believe they will find it necessary to defend Gaza and engage militarily with Israel, whether they really need to or not.
