Hello John and Doves,
Probably many others are
wondering the same thing...will removing U.S. troops from
Syria set the stage for the Gog War?
Against the advice of
top aides, various Congressmen and senior military
analysts, senior officials in the Pentagon, and the
Secretary of Defense, General Mattis, President Trump is
pulling U.S. troops out of Syria. This move will allow a
bigger presence in Syria of the Iranians, Turks, and
Russians.
Is G-d directing
President Trump in this matter? Is this a prophetic
move?
This
withdrawal will leave Israel virtually alone in the
region. In the Gog War, G-d destroys the armies of
Gog (Turks, Persians, Russians, and others) on the
mountains of Israel - not the U.S., not the IDF.
Maybe President Trump is fulfilling Bible prophecy by
effectively removing America from Syria.
It seems like this
recent order by President Trump will allow Erdogan a
pathway to fulfill his dream of freeing Jerusalem from the
'occupiers' and allow Iran to bring in more and more
military and weapons in their quest to drive Israel into
the sea, and allow Russia to expand it's military presence
- Russia has been testing new weapons and increasing troop
numbers in Syria and recently sent S-300s to Syria.
The U.S. presence has been an 'obstacle to all of their
ambitions' in the region.
All of the media outlets
are calling this decision 'abrupt', 'sudden', 'hasty'.and
"shocking allies"..if this is a prophetic move, I hope
it's for the soon start of the Gog War...preceded by the
Rapture.
Not only was the
decision made 'suddenly' but President Trump wants the
troops withdrawn as quickly as possible, a 'swift
withdrawal', an "immediate and full withdrawal" - the news
reported 60 to 100 days. "America's troops are expected to
all be withdrawn from the country by the end of
March..." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/12/19/donald-trump-orders-immediate-full-withdrawal-us-troops-syria/
The Pentagon started this process last
Wednesday. "Defense Department officials said that
Mr. Trump had ordered that the withdrawal be completed in
30 days." https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/19/us/politics/trump-syria-turkey-troop-withdrawal.html
When General Mattis officially orders this, the withdrawal
will be completed within 30 days. (General Mattis
will resign at the end of February, 2019.)
This was announced on
12/19/2018. So this 'evacuation' must be complete by
now.
Evacuate means 'to move
people from a dangerous place to somewhere safe'.
So, exactly what is coming that these people need to be
'evacuated' from and within 24 hours? Why in such a
hurry? This sounds ominous.
The U.S. still has a
military presence in Iraq, right across the border, and
the U.S. still leads a coalition in the region - being
able to continue air raids flying out of Qatar and other
Middle East bases.
Will President Trump
actually follow through with this order? Will
Turkey, Iran, and Russia take advantage of this withdrawal
and see it as a green light to move on Israel? Will
this be 'the hook' that drags them down into Israel for a
plunder? Time will tell.
Syria plays an important
part in Bible prophecy with the complete destruction of
Damascus in Isaiah 17. So, keep an eye on Syria
- what happens there is important.
Maranatha!
Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem!

"President Donald
Trump's abrupt decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria
will be hailed as a victory in Russia and Iran and a
betrayal among Kurdish and Arab opposition forces..."
"Public statements from
Russian and Syrian officials, at least, indicated strong
approval for Trump's decision, while Iranian media
portrayed it as the United States admitting defeat in
Syria."
"Meanwhile, Reuters
quoted an unnamed US official as stating Wednesday that
all US State Department personnel operating inside Syria
were being evacuate from the country within 24
hours."
