Is Turkey Going Rogue? Newly Islamist leadership threatens the entire Middle East.

Prophecy Sign:  The emergence of Turkey as a major force in Middle-East affairs, and as a participant in the Gog/Magog war of Ezekiel

Who could have foreseen the radical shift that Turkeyhas made in its relations with Israel? Within the last couple of years, Turkeyhas moved from being a friend and ally of Israelto one that is becoming yet another enemy of the Jewish state. God gave warning that this would happen in the last days, as told to the Prophet Ezekiel. In Ezekiel’s prophecy the area of Turkeywas called by a different name; That being Beth Togarmah.

Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you. Ezekiel 38:5-6 NIV

From the article:

In a Middle East wracked by coups d’état and civil insurrections, the Republic of Turkey credibly offers itself as a model, thanks to its impressive economic growth, democratic system, political control of the military, and secular order. But, in reality, Turkey may be, along with Iran, the most  dangerous state of the region. Count the reasons:

Islamists without brakes

An even worse opposition
Looming economic collapse
Escalating Kurdish problems.

Looking for a fight with Israel
Stimulating an anti-Turkish faction
Asserting rights over Mediterranean energy reserves

While Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu crows that Turkey is “right at the center of everything,” AKP bellicosity has soured his vaunted “zero-problems” with neighbors’ policy, turning this into wide-ranging hostility and even potential military confrontations (with Syria, Cyprus, and Israel). As economic troubles hit, a once-exemplary member of NATO may go further off track; watch for signs of Erdoğan emulating his Venezuelan friend, Hugo Chávez. That’s why, along with Iranian nuclear weapons, I see a rogue Turkey as the region’s greatest threat.

Replying for the first time to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's almost daily tongue lashings of Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday termed Mr Erdogan's latest accusation - that Israel has killed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians -- "outrageous".  Israel's outspoken Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, waded into the fray by declaring that Mr Erdogan's administration was "a radical Islamic extremist leadership that supports and develops terror".
