NEXT ON THE BIBLICAL END TIMES TIMELINE: TURKEY EXERTS DOMINANCE OVER IRAN

Turkey has global ambitions, and it’s not taking sides. It’s maintaining links with Western allies while forging ties with other regional powers, especially in the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia. From military cooperation to cultural outreach and diplomacy, we look at how Turkey balances cooperation and competition to grow its international status.

Daniel first sees Iran (Ram of Daniel8) taking control of Muslim nations westward, southward and northward with its proxies: Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, Houthi forces in Yemen, Iraqi militias in Iraq, Syrian armed forces in Syria. These groups are part of Iran’s extensive proxy network, often referred to as the Axis of Resistance/Evil..

“I was in Susa the citadel, which is in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I was at the Ulai canal. I raised my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram (Iran) standing on the bank of the canal. It had two horns, and both horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last. I saw the ram charging westward and northward and southward. No beast could stand before him, and there was no one who could rescue from his power. He did as he pleased and became great.” Daniel 8:2-4

Next Daniel sees Turkey (Goat of Daniel 8) takeover Iran’s position of power and become exceedingly great. But his time is short lived and I suspect the UN would not want to see Turkey establish a new Ottoman Empire and so they break it up into four nations out of which the Antichrist arises. We have been warned by God in advance and can use these fulfilled prophecies to convince unbelievers that the Bible is true and offers the only hope for future life on God’s planet. Next on God’s agenda for planet Earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. To get prepared go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net.

“As I was considering, behold, a male goat (Turkey) came from the west across the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground. And the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes. He came to the ram with the two horns, which I had seen standing on the bank of the canal, and he ran at him in his powerful wrath. I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him and struck the ram and broke his two horns. And the ram had no power to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. And there was no one who could rescue the ram from his power. Then the goat became exceedingly great, but when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.: Daniel 8:5-8

ETERNITY TRUCK: STEVE GRACE’S MISSION RIG

Steve Grace’s Eternity Truck is bringing music and the Gospel beyond church walls, taking a mobile concert stage to remote communities and country towns. This is great news. Make sure you pass it on.

“Aussies are more likely to go to a football field to hear the Gospel than sit in a pew,” says Steve Grace.

His new Eternity Truck will meet that need head-on. The iconic Australian musician’s Mack truck and a trailer that transforms into a stage are mobilising a decade-long missionary vision. Steve told The Daily Declaration that the big black rig will “facilitate outdoor events.” This will be “less about Steve Grace, more associated with bringing hope to hurting towns, pumping out the Gospel and good music.” He’s even been gifted a quality used PA system, “donated by a mate in South Australia.” Still a work in progress, aside from an equipment pod, lighting gear and a new paint job, most of the rig is ready.

Steve Grace has been a pioneer in Australian Christian music since the 1980’s. He has released countless songs and albums, won many music awards and for years has done the hard yards of touring Australian outback Towns and communities.

For many recent years he has had the big dream to build the Eternity Truck and take to the road again with the Gospel and music to encourage Aussie hearts and faith. This Eternity Rig will be able to set up and play a concert anywhere people can gather and share the good news of hope for everyone.

GOD IS REGATHERING HIS NATION BACK TO ITS LAND

I am a regular follower of Rabbi Pesach Wolicki to get the best updates on what is happening to Israel in relation to Biblical prophecy. This video looks at the end times prophecy of Zechariah 14, “The Coming Day of Our Lord”.

Why of all the Jewish Festivals is it that all the nations of the world must come to Jerusalem to celebrate Sukkot, The Feast of Tabernacles? During Jesus Millennial reign it is a command and if the leaders of nations do not come there is no rain on their land. Many Christians understand the call and for many years have been gathering in Jerusalem on Sukkot.

As shown in this picture nations from all over the world gathered in Jerusalem in 2019 to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles as God commands in Zechariah. The Jews are amazed at the size of the gathering.

The nations of the world are being tested by our Lord. How will they react to the Lord regathering the Jews back to their land. Are you on the side of the God of Israel. Sadly, Australia has chosen badly and will be judged accordingly.

BIBLICAL END TIMES PROPHECIES UNFOLDING IN OUR DAY

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki is the Executive Director of Israel365 Action and the author of Verses for Zion and Cup of Salvation: A Powerful Journey Through King David’s Psalms of Praise.

I love this guy. His explanation in this video of Zechariah 14 is challenging and worth your time. There is no doubt that we are in the end times. It is so obvious as you listen to Wolicki that the many Biblical end times prophecies are playing out in our day. The regathering of the Jews back to Israel which is intensifying as the persecution of Jews escalates around the world is the obvious Biblical end times prophecy playing out in our day.. For the first time there are more Jews in their land now than scattered around the world.

THE COMING EZEKIEL 38 GOG OF MAGOG WAR

In this update, Nelson Walters examines how the recent mutual defence agreement between Turkey, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and potentially Iran creates a new superpower that pushes the United States to the side-lines and sets the stage for the Ezekiel Gog of Magog war.

Just as the Bible predicts, the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East just shifted in a way that defies conventional logic—but aligns perfectly with ancient prophecy. Iran has been offered a seat at the “Mecca Pact” table, a move that could effectively end the current conflict with the USA and Israel while simultaneously assembling the coalition described in Ezekiel 38, and Revelation 17:12. Iran is yet to accept a seat at the “Mecca Pact” table so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

JOHNATHAN CAHN EXPLAINS HOW THE O.T. is A TEMPLATE FOR THE N.T.

The 2,000 year old mystery of the missing Kippur, the Temple, the prophecy of Daniel, the Ark of the Covenant, the Derekh (Derekh (דֶּרֶךְ) — The Way God Leads Us), the wandering of the Jewish people, the Scarlet cord of the Rabbis, the centre of everything and more! Plus the Yom Kippur, Celebration with the Ark of the Covenant. Jonathan Cahn always does a good job of showing how God uses Scripture to foretell events unfolding in our time. Make the time to watch this video, you will learn much and hence be glad you did.

MARX REVEALS THE SOURCE OF HIS INSPIRATION – “SEE THIS SWORD THE PRINCE OF DARKENESS SOLD IT TO ME”

In his 1841 poem “The Player” (also translated as “The Fiddler”), Karl Marx writes, “Look now, my blood-dark sword shall stab/Unerringly within thy soul./God neither knows nor honors art./The hellish vapors rise and fill the brain/Till I go mad and my heart is utterly changed.” He continues, “See this sword—the Prince of Darkness sold it to me,” and, “Ever more boldly I play the dance of death.”

Karl Marx monument by Soviet sculptor Lev Kerbel in Chemnitz, Saxony, Germany. The head is 7m high, made of bronze and erected in 1971. Behind Marx there’s a huge frieze exhorting ‘Workers of the world, unite!’ in several languages.

An analysis of the above poem from biographer Robert Payne, in his 1968 book “Marx,” states, “Marx is here celebrating a satanic mystery, for the player is clearly Lucifer or Mephistopheles [a Faustian devil], and what he is playing with such frenzy is the music which accompanies the end of the world.”

He continues, “Marx clearly enjoyed the horrors he depicted, and we shall find him enjoying in very much the same way the destruction of whole classes in the ‘Communist Manifesto.’ He was a man with a peculiar faculty for relishing disaster.”

“There can be very little doubt that those interminable stories were autobiographical,” wrote Payne. “[Marx] had the Devil’s view of the world, and the Devil’s malignity. Sometimes he seemed to know that he was accomplishing works of evil.”

However bizarre Marx’s early writings were, his stated claims and goals were not far from the reality of what he created: a system that in a single century took an unprecedented number of lives. Estimates vary, but according to combined research from historians, including Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Jung Chang, and Jon Halliday, and numbers collected by “The Black Book of Communism,” published by Harvard University Press in 1999, the number is close to 150 million deaths.

THE APOSTATE CHURCH PROPHESIED PRIOR TO JESUS SECOND COMING

The Archbishop of Canterbury presented Hafiz Ashrafi with an award for Reconciliation and Interfaith Cooperation. It’s a special award for people who do outstanding work building bridges between people of different faiths. Ashrafi is the chairman of the Pakistan Ulema Council — a group of high-ranking Islamic scholars.

Why would the Church of England give one of Pakistan’s most eminent Islamic scholars such an award? Was it because in 2007, as reported in The Guardian, he…

“ … had decided to honour Osama bin Laden. He is to be given the title of Saifullah, or Sword of God.”

Or perhaps Ashrafi was given the reconciliation award because in 2013 he was reported as saying that…

“ … suicide attacks in Afghanistan are lawful because NATO troops are invaders that have occupied the country.”

Ashrafi later said he had been taken out of context, claiming that suicide bombings were un-Islamic but that he could understand why Afghans were fighting back. Or maybe Ashrafi was given the award for interfaith reconciliation out of deep appreciation for his support, in 2014…

“… of Islamic blasphemy laws that condemn people to death if they insult Muhammad or disrespect the Koran.”

Afterall, nothing says I’m a leader when it comes to co-operating with other faiths than… if you disrespect us, you’ll be put to death.

The good news is that the Archbishop of Canterbury has withdrawn the award. Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi received the award for reconciliation and interfaith cooperation from Dame Sarah Mullally last week, on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Lambeth Palace faced a backlash after it emerged Ashrafi praised Bin Laden – the architect of the 2001 attacks – as someone who had “been fighting for Islam against the Russians, Americans and British”, in comments from 2007. Ashrafi also reportedly said he would give Bin Laden the title Saifullah, which means “Sword of God”. He told the BBC his remarks had been “totally taken out of context”.

Lambeth Palace now says “comments made by Imam Ashrafi have come to light that have led (us) to reconsider this award and we can now confirm that the award has been withdrawn”.

Is it any wonder why the Global Anglicans (GAFCON) have formally resolved to withdraw from the Anglican Communion.

WHY WORSHIP GOD

“Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.” Psalm 95:6

Psalm 95 begins as a shout of joyful praise — ‘Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation’ — and then shifts in verse 6 to a different posture: kneeling, bowing. The movement from celebration to reverence is not contradiction; it is the full arc of authentic worship. You cannot indefinitely sustain only one or the other.

‘Bow down’ — kāraʿ — to kneel, to bend at the knee, used for submission before royalty. ‘Worship’ — shāḥāh — to bow down, to prostrate oneself in reverence. ‘Our Maker’ — ʿōśēnû — the one who made us, the creator to whom we owe existence. The basis for kneeling is not fear of punishment but the recognition of who he is and who we are in relation to him. The psalm then pivots to warning: don’t harden your hearts as at Meribah. The first act of disobedience in the wilderness was a failure of trust; the pathway to it was a hardened heart. Worship — genuine, reverent, consistent — keeps the heart soft.

Worship is the expression of love, reverence, and surrender toward God. It’s not limited to singing or praying—those are just forms of it. At its core, worship is about orientation: turning your heart, mind, and life toward the One you believe is worthy.

Humans are wired for worship. We all place something at the center of our lives—career, relationships, pleasure, money, status. Worshiping God is choosing to center life on something eternal, unchanging, and greater than ourselves.

Worship, then, is not just about God’s worthiness—it’s about our need for meaning, grounding, and direction.

The essence of worship

  • Recognition of God — acknowledging God’s character: holy, loving, just, powerful.
  • Response to God — gratitude, obedience, trust, praise.
  • Relationship with God — worship is relational, not mechanical.
  • Alignment of life — living in a way that reflects God’s values.

Worship is both internal (heart, mind, affection) and external (actions, words, choices).

God is the ultimate reality—the Creator, Sustainer, and moral centre of the universe. Worship is a natural response to greatness.

People worship because they feel thankful: for life, forgiveness, guidance, hope, or simply God’s presence.

Worship is often described as an act of love. “We love because He first loved us” is a common Christian framing.

Worship shapes character. It reorients priorities, calms the mind, strengthens resilience, and fosters humility.

Many scriptures command worship—not as domination, but as a path to flourishing. Worship aligns people with what is believed to be ultimate truth.

Humans naturally give their devotion to something—success, relationships, pleasure, power. Worshiping God is choosing who or what defines you.

Worship is a Lifestyle:

Prayer — conversation with God

Service — helping others

Obedience — living according to God’s teachings

Praise — spoken or sung adoration

Sacrifice — giving up something valuable for a higher purpose

Daily choices — integrity, compassion, forgiveness

ANOTHER GREAT TESTIMONY TO THE ONE TRUE GOD

All Blacks and Springboks Kneel in Prayer as injured Ardie Savea recounts encounter with God. They prayed to our Heavenly Father who sent His only son Jesus to Earth to provide the means of our restoration back into a right relationship with Him.

Isaiah prophesied Jesus first coming as a suffering servant but the religious leaders of the day only wanted the Messiah who would come as a conquering king to defeat their enemies. As there are 2000 prophecies of Jesus second coming as a conquering king and His coming Millennial reign it is no wonder their focus was on those prophecies. Let us look at Isaiah’s prophecy of Jesus first coming to Earth as the suffering servant.

“Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.” Isaiah 53:4-12

Is it any wonder that Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

All Blacks and Springboks players united in prayer after their Baltimore clash, while Christian captain Siya Kolisi and Ardie Savea continue to testify openly about Jesus. Four Tests, one series, everything on the line. When the final whistle went in Baltimore, the All Blacks and Springboks came together in a huddle, arm in arm, a mark of respect after one of the great rivalries in world rugby delivered another classic. New Zealand’s All Blacks and the South African Springboks have marked the close of their new Rugby test series with prayer. Side by side, both teams stood and knelt together with heads bowed after SA beat NZ 43-28 in the United States city of Baltimore.

While mainstream coverage was spread thin, South Africa’s public broadcaster acknowledged the prayer, as did Christian sports outreach platform Jesus My Goal (JMC).
