Now, we get to the exciting part.
Up to now, except of the Dry Bones thing, it’s all been peace and roses. Well, there’s difficulty in the details. Just remember that Ezekiel 38 and 39 are bringing Israel to the point where THIS happens:
Ezekiel 36:31 Then shall ye remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
When all hope seems lost, God will reach down and save Israel, showing that He exists and loves His people, prompting introspection and soul searching.

Turkish insanity continues to intensify.
A few years ago, Israel discovered a massive natural gas field within its economic zone, and everyone in the region immediately started rattling their sabres – standard operating procedure for this rather insane part of the world.
What isn’t standard is Turkey jumping in, opposing Israel and aggressively escalating the conflict.
The Jerusalem Post recently published the following Reuters article:
Turks begin gas exploration, risk feud with Cyprus, Israel

After Erdogan calls Israeli and Cypriot drilling for gas in Mediterranean “madness,” Turkey risks escalation by sending vessel to area.

This new, more aggressive Turkey is incredible.
I don’t think that anyone quite knows what Turkey will do next, but it’s pretty clear to me that she’s given up on NATO and the EU and has firmly put her sights on becoming a major player in the Middle East. And, there’s no easier way to become a ‘player’ than to threaten Israel. The problem is that Turkey seems to believe what it’s saying, and that’s worrying to those of us who don’t want another catastrophic war on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean.

Things don’t look good for the plucky little State of Israel.
She is surrounded and under siege. Syria is on fire. Iran continues its nuclear weapons program. Turkey has used the Mavi Marmara incident as a casus belli for breaking ties with Israel and moving further down the path towards war. Egypt has been taken over by the army and has allowed the Sinai to become a staging ground for terrorist attack. Europe now supports the Palestinian bid for recognition in the UN. And, the Palestinians are raining rockets down on anything within range.

I’ve been expecting this, but that doesn’t lessen how upset I feel about it. War is evil and despicable, and it is yet again being thrust upon an Israel that has done what it can to promote peace. It makes me sick to think that we are on our way to another round of senseless death and destruction.
When will the muslims ever learn?
Just yesterday, Major General Eyal Eisenberg, Chief of IDF Home Front Command, warned:
“It looks like the Arab Spring, but it can also be a radical Islamic winter. This leads us to the conclusion that through a long-term process, the likelihood of an all-out war is increasingly growing.
