Turkey’s meddling

Everyone is watching Iran and the U.S.-led strikes designed to topple that evil regime.

But we also need to keep our eyes on what is going on in Israel.

As Iran is decapitated and defanged, her proxies grow more desperate. This week it was revealed that Hamas sent a secret letter to Tehran, urging an uptick in terrorism everywhere. It’s not totally clear how much control Iran still has over that situation, although we are seeing disturbing signs that cells inside the U.S. are beginning to operate. Attacks on various synagogues are out there, too.

We also learned that Turkey is operating in Gaza, a completely outrageous situation. Turkey’s Erdogan, despite wearing suits, is as big a jihadist as there is in the world. A true believe in Islam, his menacing behavior is constant.

And then there are these two gem: A Hamas delegation visited Cairo and held talks with Egyptian officials and with representatives of the Board of Peace regarding implementation of the ceasefire agreement, and, the chairman of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, spoke to the Pope. Abbas said that once the war in Iran ended, an international peace conference should be convened to end the “Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and Arab territories in Lebanon and Syria.” (From a report by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center.)

Turkey though is the biggest threat here. Washington should have forbade them from entering Gaza but didn’t. Thank Steve Witlesskoff for that.

A *cough “humanitarian relief agency, the IHH is operating inside Gaza, giving Erdogan eyes on the ground. They have zero benevolent intentions.

The Amit Center explains:

• The Turkish IHH organization announced the launch of a project to clear rubble and open blocked roads in the Gaza Strip as part of reconstruction efforts, following the declaration of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The organization was involved in launching flotillas to the Gaza Strip, foremost of which was the Mavi Marmara flotilla which ended in a violent confrontation with IDF forces in May 2010 and the Global Sumud (“resilience”’) flotilla, which was halted by the IDF in October 2025.
• The IHH is an NGO founded in 1992 and with close ties to the Turkish government. It promotes radical Islamist, anti-Israeli and anti-Western activity. Bülent Yıldırım, the head of the organization, has repeatedly made anti-Israeli and antisemitic statements.
• The IHH also has ties with Hamas and was outlawed in Israel in 2008 due to its involvement in a network of charity associations which raised funds for Hamas institutions abroad.
• This study is based on dozens of report issued about the IHH by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC) since 2010. It summarizes the main aspects of the ties between the organization and Hamas and the central role Bülent Yıldırım plays, in cooperation with Hamas, in the campaign to delegitimize Israel.

There you have it. Jihadist tentacles are everywhere.

The IHH last fall began clearing rubble in the northern Gaza Strip, as part of cleanup operations (which will take years). The presence of the IHH and Erdogan represents a three-decade priority by groups like CAIR, in Washington, to lull the West into a false sense of security. Again, the presence of such bad actors will do nothing to advance peace.

All these groups align around the Muslim Brotherhood mother ship of terrorism.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

A Golden Age?

We hear a lot these days about a Golden Age, a phrase brought out into the light by the current American president. We remember other presidential catch-phrases. “A New World Order” comes to mind, from George H.W. Bush, who by all evidence didn’t have a Bible prophecy bone in his body. He didn’t seem to realize that his vision would be the antichrist system predicted in the New Testament.

A “golden age” can mean many things. Sometimes short-term prosperity and relative peace is attainable, though it never lasts.

Trump means an overall economic boom across the globe, rooted in America. He has been promising this for some time, though the bright gold has not filtered down to most of us yet.

At my age, I have never seen the world in such chaos. I remember the height of the Cold War. In those days, it seemed like things were spinning out of control.

Right now, they seem like the good old days.

We are seeing unprecedented things. It doesn’t feel like a Golden Age.

Interestingly, the same phrase was used by a surprising source: an IDF reserve general.

My friend Brian Schrauger interviewed Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi this week and the discussion was most interesting. Gen. Avivi kind of has our worldview:

“General Avivi believes the massive phase will last about a month, after which Iran will be defenseless—unable to pay salaries, command forces, or function as a regime.

“And here’s what struck me most: Avivi believes are living in biblical times. Just as Haman and his sons were hanged in the story of Purim (in the book of Esther), so this regime will be destroyed.”

Many people see parallels with the current action in Iran (Persia) with the Purim story from the book of Esther. This is very exciting! As you probably know, in the Medo-Persian empire of 2,500 years ago, Cyrus allowed Jewish captives from the Babylonian period to return home to Jerusalem. This on the heels of the famous story of the evil Haman seeking to destroy all the Jews in the kingdom. He and his sons were instead hanged on the gallows he had constructed for Jewish executions. Queen Esther saved her people. Now, hear Brian:

“Just as Cyrus freed the Jews 2,500 years ago, now Israel is liberating the Iranian people.

“General Avivi is confident: following this war will come peace agreements, economic boom, and massive aliyah (immigration). Israel, he says, is moving toward a golden age.”

Well, that’s certainly plausible. They must enjoy something of a “golden age” if they are dwelling in “safety” per Ezekiel. Notice too that amazing detail the general cited: massive immigration of worldwide Jewry to Israel. We also know from Scripture that the Jews are supposed to end up in Israel. Ironically, the psychopaths that adhere to Islam believe their purpose is to see the world’s Jews wind up in Israel, so they can be murdered by Allah.

Me, I’m looking far ahead to an even better Golden Age. One that the Lord of History will usher-in, for all eternity. No more cycle after cycle of wars and peace, peace and wars.

As the world spins further out of control—and the lunacy is off the charts—turn your eyes to Jesus. Let us continue to pray fervently for His long-awaited return.

Praise the name of the Lord.
