The Erdoğan effect: Turkey, Egypt and the future of the Middle East

Prophecy Sign:  The emergence of Turkey as a Middle-East power, (and one of the major players in the coming Gog/Magog war)

No surprise that Turkey has become a major power in the middle east.  The Prophet Ezekiel foresaw a time when Turkey, (Beth Togarmah), would align itself with several other middle-east nations in a future war against the state of Israel.  The war known as the Gog/Magog war.

I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. 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 38:4-6 NIV

From the article:

Turkey's foreign policy activism is drawing considerable attention these days, particularly because of the momentous transformation in the broader Middle East. The tour of Prime Minister Recip Tayyip Erdoğan to Egypt, Libya, and Tunisiain September underscored the rise of Turkey's involvement in the region—and of Ankara's potential to be a formidable and positive influence.

Erdoğan articulated Turkey's vision for a democratic Middle East. "The freedom message spreading from Tahrir Squarehas become a light of hope for all the oppressed through Tripoli, Damascus, and Sanaa," he told an audience at the Cairo Opera House. "Governments have to get their legitimacy from the people's will. This is the core of Turkey's politics in the region." Equally, Erdoğan's tour demonstrated Turkey's recognition of the regional shifts. He signaled that Israelwill no longer be shielded from accountability by a strategic status quo that buffeted authoritarian Arab rulers like former President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt.
