Hi John and Doves,
In the link below is a clip from TV7 Israel News. I make a point of watching this channel. The panel are discussing the rising tensions in the Mediterranean, between Turkey and Greece. France is involved now....not to mention NATO etc. The details are a tad mind numbing and it's difficult to absorb the nuances. But, one thing did strike me. In the book of Revelation, every single one of the 7 churches our LORD chose to write to, are in Turkey.
Over the years, we have all learned to take note of the giant hints in scripture. These hints are becoming more and more obvious as we see through the glass less darkly. Turkey is a massive heads-up to all who read Revelation. The letters to the 7 churches "which are in Asia", are the leading words. Sure - there are lessons to all of us in these letters BUT, they are addressed to churches in a specific province. Turkey!
It is my belief that Turkey has some powerful nations backing them and manipulating them. All in the cause of disrupting the Middle East further. Behind the scenes, the New World Order is pulling the strings. My opinion. Be that as it may - have a look at the map in the 3rd link below. ALL 7 churches are located in areas bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Which is now where many nations are gathering. A big war is looming.
I truly believe our LORD was pointing us to exactly where it's all going to kick-off. The beginning of the book of Revelation signals the beginning of huge tribulation. And our LORD showed us exactly where the beginning will start. If we are still here - and we see a war break out in the Mediterranean - we can know that our redemption really does draw nigh.
