Is the current US/Israel and Iran war part of Biblical end times prophecies?
Joel Richardson looks particularly at the Goat (Turkey) and Ram (Iran) of Daniel 8. He like me and many other Biblical end times scholars thought that the battle between Turkey and Iran spoken of in Daniel 8 is a future end times event.
Now that Iran has been humbled and diminished by the USA and Israel, the battle described in Daniel 8 must have been fulfilled in ancient times.
Turkey has already emerged as the dominant Muslim nation in the Middle East without the Daniel 8, Goat and Ram battle. Hence, the next Biblical end times battle is the one led by Turkey against Israel. It is the one we need to be watching for.
Yesterday, J. D Vance said the following, “There are cases where the interests of Israel and the US diverge. We can achieve a long-term agreement with Iran and Israel may not like it.
For many years, students of biblical prophecy have asked the question, “Will the United States someday abandon Israel?” Now, the assumption has always been that if that happens, it would come from a more hostile administration on the left. But what if we’re beginning to actually see it take place right now on the right?
It was interesting to see the slip made by Vance, “Well, look, I think obviously the Israelis and I or excuse me, the Israelis and the United States, we have a lot of shared interests, but we also have some situations where our interests diverge. And I think where the president has been very clear here is that while Israel obviously has some objectives that it has, the United States’ main objective in Iran is to ensure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon. And we’ve actually, thanks to what’s happened over the last few months, but really over the last year and a half, we’ve created the space necessary where the president believes, and I think that he’s right, that we can get the long-term settlement to Iran’s nuclear deal. Now, Israel may like that, they may not like that, but fundamentally, we think this is in the best interest of the United States of America. So, we’re going to keep on pursuing it because that’s what the president United States was elected to do.” It’s no secret that JD Vance represents that segment, this growing segment within the conservative movement that is increasingly embracing anti-Israel beliefs and sentiments and believes that the United States alliance with Israel is problematic. that they need to excise Israeli influence in the government is usually how it’s couched. But in reality, they’re framing Israel as a very bad influence in terms of its alliance with the United States. If this is America’s goal, which it is, this will be Obama 2.0. This will go down as Trump’s greatest failure of his administration. Anything less than removing the IRGC, removing the regime from power, and having a new administration in Iran, which the Iranian people have been out in the streets protesting and dying and bleeding for, which President Trump told them that we would support them. If there’s anything less than regime change, it will go down in history as Trump’s greatest foreign policy failure, maybe even the greatest failure of his entire administration, certainly from God’s perspective.
Next on the Biblical end times timeline is the invasion of Israel by Turkey and other surrounding hostile Muslim nations. It is not America that steps in and protects Israel. It is God who miraculously steps in and rescues His nation.
The long-standing goal of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to establish his country as the leading Islamist political, cultural and military power in the Middle East as a stepping stone toward resurrecting the Ottoman Empire has been well documented.
This week, some progress appeared to be made toward that goal when the EFES-2026 Combined Joint Live-Fire Field Exercise took place along the Aegean coast near İzmir, involving large land, naval and air forces from the Turkish military alongside contingents from 50 other countries, including Syria and Libya.
The live-fire component of the drills took place in the İzmir Gulf and Doğanbey training ranges, with dozens of ships, tanks, infantry battalions and aircraft maneuvering, firing and communicating in close proximity.
The Libyan contingent included 331 fighters from the country’s eastern forces and 171 fighters from the western region, marching together under a single Libyan flag despite their lingering rivalry after years of civil war.
Turkey has spent several years attempting to form a joint force from units on both sides while providing training and logistical support.
For Israeli analysts, however, the Syrian participation may have been the most significant development.
Forces from the Al-Jolani (Al-Sharaa) regime in Syria were among the smallest delegations, with only 50 soldiers. But the contingent carries political and diplomatic weight far beyond its modest size, marking the first time forces from the newly formed “Syrian National Army” have operated outside Syrian territory. The fact that they are doing so under Turkish auspices rather than American leadership is being viewed as a signal about both the intentions and capabilities of the al-Jolani regime.
Israel is watching these developments closely. Al-Jolani’s regime is viewed in Jerusalem as a “not unfriendly” regional power and a potential ally against Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, while Turkey under Erdoğan is increasingly seen as a deeply hostile opponent of Israel with openly stated ambitions of “liberating Jerusalem.”
Ankara’s growing influence, not only in the Middle East but also in Europe and Africa, is viewed in Israel as an increasingly worrying development.
I am confident that students of Biblical prophecy have noted the prominent mention of ancient regions corresponding to modern-day Turkey, Persia (modern-day Iran) and Libya in the coalition of nations that come against Israel, described in the prophecies of Ezekiel chapters 38-39.
I believe this will be the next major Biblical prophesied end-times event. So watch for it, and use it in your evangelism of family, friends and workmates.
The battle lines have been drawn, Erdogan vs Israel. Is the Gog and Magog alliance of nations forming before our eyes? This video by Nelson Walters follows on from and supports my previous posts on Daniel 8, concerning the Ram (Iran) and the Goat (Turkey) conflict.
Does the 100 year old Lausanne Treaty expiring in 2023 hold the clue to the nations found in the Gog and Magog alliance of Ezekiel 38? Is the career of Tayyip Erdogan a match for that of Adolph Hitler? Is Erdogan using Hilter’s playbook to rise to power? Watch this Nelson Walters video to find out. You will see Erdogan has no concern for his people, they are pawns in his power play.
