A Syrian military expert, Colonel Hatem Al-Rawi, supports Turkish expansion.
Apparently, Colonel Hatem Al-Rawi agrees with me regarding the nation of Turkey. Of course, we agree for different reasons. Nevertheless, we are still in agreement. The good Colonel (I will give him the benefit of doubt regarding his character.) believes Turkey should expand its borders. And, like me, he no doubt believes that expansion is inevitable. You see, you may not agree with what the Bible says. But what the Bible says is God’s honest truth. Of course, proper interpretation skills are required. But the future is and has always been known and predicted by the Lord’s prophets. Unfortunately, clarity has always been an issue. Now, fortunately, the lack of clarity is fading. At least, for some.
An angel told Daniel, that understanding will unfold in the last days. To quote Michael in the King James version, “the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.”
Thousands of years have passed since the first prophecies found in the Book of Genesis. Now, we are on the threshold of unlimited peace and prosperity.
What?
Not the end of the world? Well, yes, that too, but that is not the biblical focus for the events of the last days. The true focus is peace on earth and goodwill toward mankind. That’s the end that we should focus on.
Michael’s Deliverance and the End Times
Daniel 12:7 And the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by Him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, and times, and half a time. When the power of the holy people has finally been shattered, all these things will be completed.” 8 I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?” 9 “Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.”
Genesis 18:18
Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and through him, all the nations of the earth will be blessed.
What the Lord says will happen–will happen. Many good scholars differ on the particulars of how the future will unfold. But a careful study of the critical prophetic passages will lead us to a clear understanding of the future.
Paul prayer of Benediction and Farewell in Hebrews 13
19 And I especially urge you to pray that I may be restored to you soon. 20 Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, 21 equip you with every good thing to do His will. And may He accomplish in us what is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
A grain of truth from Colonel Hatem Al-Rawi
In this post, I will highlight a brief article. In the article, an otherwise lesser-known military expert, Colonel Hatem Al-Rawi, brings important awareness to many important Bible prophecies.
As I have been saying for several years, we must keep a keen eye on the nation of Turkey. With that in mind, it is my opinion that a future military, political, and religious ruler will hold power in the nation of Turkey. That leader will play a key role in the fulfillment of many important prophecies in the final days. I do not believe that ruler is in power yet. President Erdogan of Turkey is setting the stage for another leader who will become the Gog of Magog in the Book of Ezekiel.
Below is a portion of an interview with Colonel Hatem Al-Rawi
Colonel Hatem Al-Rawi, a Syrian military expert said that it is well within Turkey’s rights to seek expansion and the restoration of the glory of the Ottoman Empire. He made these remarks in a show that aired on Turkey’s Arabic language channel 9, on February 9, 2021. Col. Al-Rawi said that it is more important for Turkey to pursue a traditional military industry than to produce a nuclear bomb because nuclear bombs have become a thing of the past, as it is no longer possible to deploy them anywhere in the world. Col. Al-Rawi said that Turkey is on the rise, while Russia is ruled by mafias. He said that the day when Russia wishes it could compete with Turkey is not far, and it should not come as a surprise if Russia collapses.
Colonel Hatem Al-Rawi:
“I say that Turkey’s pursuit of a conventional military industry and its development to the levels that we are witnessing is a lot more important than producing a nuclear bomb because nuclear bombs have become a thing of the past. It is no longer possible to use them anywhere in the world. Therefore, smart countries are countries that have developed their weapons and have begun to produce locally, systems that they used to import. This is what happened in Turkey’s case.
“Just like any country in the world, Turkey also strives to restore its glory. It strives to restore the influence of the Ottoman state. It wants to reach that point if it gets the opportunity. If it gets the chance, it won’t miss it. Nobody misses such chances. Even if Somalia gets the chance, it would strive to expand and take over its neighbors.
“Turkey has set out on a path of restoring its Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire was the last of the empires. It is still recent. Some of the people who lived in the days of the Ottoman Empire are still alive. Therefore, Turkey has the right to expand as much as it can. At the very least, if it does not expand militarily, as some people believe it should, it should stand tall in its place until it restores the glory of the Ottoman state. (Also, see this article.)
“Take it from me: The day is not far when Russia wishes it could compete with Turkey, it is entirely clear…”
Interviewer: “You mean that Turkey will surpass Russia.”
Al-Rawi: “I see that Turkey is on the rise and it is moving very smartly, while Russia is ruled by mafias. I mean what do you expect from a country that is ruled by mafias? Don’t be surprised if you see Russia collapsing. Russia is not stable now. Russian streets today are…”
Interviewer: “Are full of demonstrations and protests…”
Al-Rawi: “Against Putin, and they will topple him.”
The Bible predicted this end.
And the nation of Turkey fits squarely in the middle of the prophetic passages. The Antichrist leader will most likely rule from and lead the final rebellion from the former place of power in the old Ottoman Empire. That is modern-day Turkey.
Let me know what you think.
