Erdogan’s “Islamic Alliance” + Other Headlines

An “Islamic Alliance” Against Israel?

In a statement that ought to grab the attention of anyone who pays attention to Bible prophecy, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan called on Islamic countries to form an alliance against Israel in response to what he described as “the growing threat of expansionism.”

The comment came on Saturday after officials announced the death of a Turkish-American woman protesting against Israel in the West Bank. Reuters reports on the context:

“The only step that will stop Israeli arrogance, Israeli banditry, and Israeli state terrorism is the alliance of Islamic countries,” Erdogan said at an Islamic schools’ association event near Istanbul.

He said recent steps that Turkey has taken to improve ties with Egypt and Syria are aimed at “forming a line of solidarity against the growing threat of expansionism,” which he said also threatened Lebanon and Syria.

If you see this as the first steps toward fulfillment of the Gog-Magog alliance described by the prophet Ezekiel, you’re not alone.
