World War Three: The Gog/Magog Invasion Of Israel

The stage is increasingly being set for what will probably be called World War Three, though it will not be played out in any way resembling the first two. The movement that the media refers to as Arab Spring is continuing to spread throughout the middle-east, and is gaining momentum with each successful rebellion. It seems likely that the missing pieces of the Al-Quaida dominated movement are Syria, and Turkey, along with the slowly developing Egyptian civil war.

The fighting in Syria looks like a stalemate, due to the arms support of the Assad regime from Russia (with love?), while the "Rebels" are seeming to be struggling with factional in-fighting between those who merely wish to overthrow the Assad government, and the efforts of both the Al-Quaida-in-Iraq subversives to take control of the movement, and that of the Iranian-supported Lebanese Hesbollah terrorist fighters to do the same. Al Quaida and the Iranian-supported Hesbollah forces hate each other almost as much as they both hate the Jewish state of Israel. Almost, but not quite! It seems probable that any western orchestrated efforts to bring about a cease-fire agreement will serve to increase the influence of both these terrorist groups, while perhaps leaving Assad in place as the figurehead leader. In any case, it will be bad news for Israel as both of these groups want nothing more than the absolute destruction of their nation, and the genocidal massacre of their population.

Turkey is quite different. It has been traditionally a secular-government controlled nation that has prospered due to its friendly trade practices with the western nations, while being respectful of the dominant Muslim faith of it's people, yet not controlled by it. In recent years, the present leader and his government have been slowly changing their laws to be more in tune with the fundamental values of the Islamic extremists, which the more western-friendly people are just beginning to wake up to, and resist. If the recent rioting develops into wholesale revolution, we can expect that it will result in a more radical Islamic government, that has much more friendly ties with Russia. Thus, the stage will be set for the Russian/Islamic invasion of Israel, referred to as the Gog/Magog invasion explained in detail in Ezekiel 38, and 39. This will be a suicidal effort on the part of the invaders, whom God has promised to destroy up to 83% of their armies.
