JD: Let’s talk about the Turkey-Syrian offensive as it’s going on even as we speak.
KT: Well it’s a pretty broad based offensive across the entire
border about 400 miles of Northern Syria. All the way over to the Iraqi border
in the east. They’re attacking Kurdish civilian areas, cities and towns. The
reports we have so far Jimmy about 70,000 people have left their homes or on
the roads as new refugees.
JD:
What about Iran’s President Rouhani urging
Turkey to avoid any military action in Syria? It looks like they’re ignoring his suggestion.
KT: It’s kind of interesting to see that from Rouhani. Now I
don’t hear that coming from the Supreme leader and lets not forget who calls
the shots in Iran. It’s definitely not Rouhani. You do see that the regular
army same day that Turkey went in and exercised in northern Iran near the
Turkish border. Now you don’t call an exercise like that over night. So this is
something that has clearly been in the works for some time. And the Iranians
have other reasons for holding that exercise. They are not threatening Turkey.
They are holding it at an area called Plurmea where in the past they have set
up a joint military headquarters with Turkey to smash the Kurds.
So what I think is going on here is exactly the opposite of
what Rouhani is saying. I think the Iranians are in fact working together with
Turkey to put pressure on the Kurds both in Iran and in Syria. So this is the
Iranian piece of it. They’re trying to put pressure on the Kurds and specifically
they’re going to try and hit Kurds I believe in northern Iraq and some of those
camps that I visited.
JD: Ken Timmerman with the details on how Turkey and Iran are
partnering together to try to wipe out the Kurds.
We report this information because it is setting the stage
for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
With the United States pull out of all American troops from
Syria the Middle East nations are very much concerned about the United States
commitment to the Middle East. Turkey sees an open door to wipe out Turkish
President Erdogan’s main political rival the Kurds. Iran sees a partnership
with Turkey to deal with the Iranian Kurdish problem as well.
Syria sees another force that could try to over throw Bashar
Assad the President. And Russia sees a way to replace US influence in the
Middle East for a greater Russian influence. All of these players are mentioned
in Ezekiel 38 and Daniel 11. Then there is Israel as well the sworn enemy of
the Islamic nations. Israel’s concern is the United States backing of Israel
slipping away. This all setting the stage for the prophetic scenario that is
found in God’s word.
