Turkey Cuts Ties, Says It’s Time For Israel To ‘Pay The Price’

In a dramatic turn of events, Turkey announced that it was expelling Israeli Ambassador Gabby Levy from Ankara. Davutoglu said Turkey’s diplomatic representation in Israel would be further reduced to second-secretary level. In accordance, all lower Israeli diplomatic personnel above the second-secretary level have also been expelled. The announcement followed a press conference, in which Davutoglu said that some of the UN’s Palmer Report findings on the raid were “unacceptable,” adding that it was “time for Israel to pay the price… The highest price it can pay is losing our friendship.”

Turkey says Israel must pay

Ankara follows through on threat to impose independent sanctions on Jerusalem following its refusal to apologize for deadly Marmara raid: Top-level diplomatic staff expelled, key military contracts suspended.

Turkish FM: Time for Israel to pay the price.

Israel-Turkey relations sink to a new low: Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu announced on Friday that following Jerusalem’s adamant refusal to apologize over the 2010 Gaza flotilla raid, Ankara will be downgrading its diplomatic relations with Israel and suspending key military agreements.

In a dramatic turn of events, Turkey announced that it was expelling Israeli Ambassador Gabby Levy from Ankara. Davutoglu said Turkey’s diplomatic representation in Israel would be further reduced to second-secretary level. In accordance, all lower Israeli diplomatic personnel above the second-secretary level have also been expelled. The announcement followed a press conference, in which Davutoglu said that some of the UN’s Palmer Report findings on the raid were “unacceptable,” adding that it was “time for Israel to pay the price… The highest price it can pay is losing our friendship.”

“Today, we reached a point where Israel has, in fact, spent all of the chances that were given to them. The Israeli government, on the other hand, see themselves (as being) above international laws and human conscience,” the Turkish FM said.

Turkey withdrew its own ambassador to Israel immediately after last year’s raid. Davutoğlu’s stated that Ankara views the Israeli government as responsible for the situation, and that Turkey will not revise its position on the matter until Israel reconsiders its stand on the flotilla incident. Davutoğlu added that despite the Palmer Report findings, Turkey does not recognise the legality of the Israeli blockade on Gaza.

Turkish President Abdullah Gul reportedly said Friday that as far as Turkey was concerned, the Palmer Report was “null and void.” Ankara is also said to be exploring its options against Israel with the International Court of Justice.

Earlier Friday, Turkey vowed that its demand for an apology from Israel would remain unchanged, stating that it is powerful enough to protect the rights of its citizen. The statement was made in Ankara’s first official reaction to a leaked United Nations panel report on the Mavi Marmara incident.

Israel remains adamant over its decision not to offer Turkey an official apology. A senior official told Ynet that while Israel is aware of the implications of its decision to refrain from issuing an apology, “we cannot conduct ourselves based on ultimatums.”

The Palmer Report does not demand an Israeli apology, establishing instead that Israel should express regret and pay reparations, the official said, adding that Jerusalem still hoped that the two countries could “return to the cooperation that was a cornerstone of regional stability.” Another senior official added that “the severing of ties goes against Turkey’s strategic interests.”  source – YNet

UN Security Council Unanimously Votes To Approve Donald Trump’s ‘Board Of Peace’ Plan With A Mandate For Him To Part The Land Of Gaza And Take Control

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The UN Security Council today voted unanimously in favor of the Trump-backed ‘Board of Peace’ 20-point peace plan to divide the land of Gaza, land that God gave to Israel

The UN Security Council today by unanimous vote approved the creation of the ‘Board Of Peace’ 20-point peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump, effectively giving control of all of the land of Gaza to the United States. The ‘Board Of Peace’, first proposed by Trump with himself as the head of it, has just been given a mandate by the United Nations to divide the land of Gaza as they see fit. Only one little problem. The ‘land of Gaza’ falls squarely within the original land grant God gave to Abraham, Gaza belongs to Israel and Trump has just taken control of it.

I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.” Joel 3:2 (KJB)


A U.S.-drafted U.N. resolution endorsing President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan passed overwhelmingly in the Security Council on Monday, a major victory for administration diplomacy as it struggles to implement its blueprint for what Trump has said would be “a new dawn” for the Middle East. The resolution provides a legal mandate for key parts of the plan, including persuading other countries to provide troops for an International Security Force that will take over security in the half of Gaza from which Israel has withdrawn.
 
In a statement after the vote, U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Michael Waltz expressed thanks to the members “for joining us in charting a new course in the Middle East for the Israelis and Palestinians and all the people in the region.” It demonstrates, he said, “the overwhelming support for the president’s vision.” source


Houston, we have a problem. It looks like Donald Trump was just given power and permission by the United Nations Security Council to part the land that belongs to Israel, the land of Gaza. But wait a minute!, you say. Doesn’t Gaza belong to the Palestinians? As you shall soon see, Gaza belongs to Israel and is included in God’s original land grant to Abraham. Did you also know that the Bible prophesied the forming of the United Nations General Assembly in the last days? Read it for yourself:

“Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.” Zephaniah 3:8 (KJB)

1. Gaza Was Part of the Land God Promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

When God gave Abraham the land covenant, He defined its southern border as the region that includes Gaza.

“In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. ” Genesis 15:18-21 (KJB)

“And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.” Numbers 34:6 (KJB)

The “great sea” is the Mediterranean. The “river of Egypt” is the border area near modern Gaza. Therefore, the Gaza coastline falls squarely inside the God-given land grant.

2. Gaza Is Specifically Named as One of the Philistine Cities Inside Israel’s Territory

The Philistines lived in Israel’s land, not outside it. Gaza is repeatedly listed as a Philistine stronghold inside Israel’s inheritance.

“For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.” Zephaniah 2:4 (KJB)

“And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,” Jeremiah 25:20 (KJB)

The Philistines occupied Gaza, but they did not own it. They were squatters on Israel’s land.

3. Joshua Assigned the Land of Gaza to the Tribe of Judah

This is the clearest proof:

“This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast. And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward: And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa: From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast.” Joshua 15:1-4 (KJB)

Judah’s inheritance ran to the southern Mediterranean coast — exactly where Gaza is located.

This means:

✔ Gaza = Judah’s land

✔ Judah’s land = Israel’s land

✔ Therefore Gaza = biblical Israel

4. Samson’s Ministry Took Place in Gaza (Inside Israel’s Borders)

Samson was a judge of Israel, yet his battles took place in Gaza:

“Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.” Judges 16:1 (KJB)

Samson was not traveling into foreign territory — he was confronting invaders living inside Israel’s land.

5. The Prophets Treat Gaza as Territory God Will Judge for Its Treatment of Israel

God’s judgment on Gaza is always tied to its hostility toward Israel — never as an independent, sovereign land.

“Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:” Amos 1:6 (KJB)

The reason Gaza is judged is because of how it treated God’s people in God’s land.

6. In the Kingdom Age, Gaza Becomes Part of Israel Again

During the future Millennial Kingdom, Gaza is restored under Israel’s control.

“But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.” Isaiah 11:14 (KJB)

“Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.” Zechariah 14:21 (KJB)

This is during Christ’s rule from Jerusalem — and it ends the Philistine occupation permanently. All the Canaanites driven out when King Jesus rules from Jerusalem and all the land from the original land grant is finally restored.

In conclusion this is what we see. Donald Trump was just given power by the United Nations to seize land that God gave to Israel, and to divide it up as he sees fit. Whether or not this is the fulfillment of what the prophet Joel saw, time will tell. But we know for sure that Donald Trump is messing with “holy ground” that’s a very ‘deadly piece of dirt’, and he better watch his step.

Christian, You Need To Pick A Side In This Rising Wave Of Jew Hatred And Choose Wisely, For You Will Give An Account At The Judgment Seat Of Christ

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

On American university campuses younger generations are displaying increasingly harsh antisemitic attitudes towards the Jews and Israel

All over the world, from college campuses to political chambers, antisemitism is exploding at a pace that even secular reporters are calling “historic.” In just the last few years the world has seen a dramatic, measurable, and undeniable spike in antisemitic incidents. Governments are reporting record-high hostility, universities are drenched in anti-Israel propaganda, and young adults on social media boldly repeat rhetoric that would have shocked the world twenty years ago.

“For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.” Zechariah 2:8 (KJB)

Many of these anti-Jewish voices are coming from people and groups that consider themselves to be Christian, yet paradoxically have intense hatred for the Jews from whom came the scriptures, and from whom came Jesus of Nazareth. The Bible calls Jesus the “king of the Jews”, and indeed He soon shall rule and reign from Jerusalem, much to the presumed dismay of mainstream Christianity in 2025.

What you are watching right now, in real time, is the spirit of Antichrist rising across the world, manifesting itself in a global surge of Jew-hatred not seen since the days leading up to World War II. It is no coincidence, it’s Bible prophecy. And if you know your King James Bible, then you already understand why this is happening, who is behind it, and exactly where it is heading.

What Should Bible Believers Do Right Now?

1. Stand With God’s People

Not politically, not sentimentally — biblically.

“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”Genesis 12:3 (KJB)

2. Pray for the Salvation of the Jewish People

Their national turning to Christ comes at the end of the Tribulation — but individuals are being reached right now.

“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.” Romans 11:26,27 (KJB)

3. Understand the Times

We are not children of the night, so don’t stand in the darkness. We are commanded to watch and faithful.

“But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.”1 Thessalonians 5:4-5 (KJB)

4. Preach the Gospel With Urgency

The Rapture ends the Church Age. The clock is preparing to strike midnight.

“And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.” 1 Thessalonians 1:10 (KJB)

In closing, let me ask you a simple question, Christian. Do you really think that the Jewish Jesus, born in Bethlehem, the promised Son from the writings of the Old Testament prophets, and the One who will soon be ruling and reigning from the Throne of David in Jerusalem, doesn’t care how you treat His wayward but still-chosen people the Jews, the apple of His eye? Do you really think He will have nothing to say about what you have said about His holy land of Israel and Jerusalem? Because the Lord absolutely will have plenty to say to you about this at the Judgment Seat of Christ, so you might want to think about that. And not only think about it, but get ready now while you still have time.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10 (KJB)

Ancient Assyrian Inscription Unearthed In Jerusalem Shows Stunning Exchange Between King Hezekiah And King Sennacherib In Prophetic Harbinger

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Archaeologists in Jerusalem have unearthed a 2,700-year-old Assyrian inscription in clay Between King Hezekiah And King Sennacherib that could shine a light on the coming Antichrist

The world of biblical archaeology is on fire at the moment with this latest discovery of an exchange between King Hezekiah of Judah, and King Sennacherib of Assyria. We are as well, but for completely different reasons as I will soon show you. Yes, from an archaeological perspective, this is a home run for sure. But when you run it through the filter of end times Bible prophecy, it quickly becomes a walk-off Grand Slam. What does this fragment show us? Only ‘the Assyrian’ who is the biblical Antichrist, that’s all.

“Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them. And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.” 2 Kings 18:13,14 (KJB)

As Bible believers, we know that we are at the end of the Church Age, and we are hard at work labouring in the Kingdom of God while we wait for the promised Pretribulation Rapture to occur. But the unsaved world we leave behind is waiting for the appearance of the man of sin, the son of perdition, who will rule over them for 7 short years. Antichrist. The Bible calls this coming political and religious figure the Assyrian, and he is mentioned in 13 verses in the Old Testament. Just as Sennacherib besieged Judah, the future Antichrist will besiege Jerusalem during the Tribulation.

On the other hand, we have King Hezekiah, one of the best and most-faithful kings that Judah ever had. When Sennacherib’s armies surrounded Jerusalem, the nation was terrified. Yet Hezekiah did not turn to Egypt or human strength — he turned to the LORD in prayer. Just as God delivered Jerusalem in Hezekiah’s day by sending the Angel of the LORD, He will deliver Israel again when the Lord Jesus Christ returns in power and glory at the Second Advent.

And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth. LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God.” 2 Kings 19:15,16 (KJB)

That kind of prayerful dependence pictures the future believing remnant of Israel who will trust God during the Great Tribulation. King Hezekiah is a wonderful type picture of the faithful Jewish remnant who are preserved at the red rock city of Selah Petra. The fact that this stunning piece of biblical archaeology is coming to light now tells you exactly where we are on the end times timeline.

Ancient Assyrian inscription unearthed in Jerusalem describes real events behind Bible story

FROM THE NY POST: “For me as a historian, this is somewhat of a flashlight in the fog of history,” Dr. Peter Zilberg, a Near Eastern Studies expert at Bar-Ilan University who studied the artifact, told The Times of Israel.

The 1-inch pottery fragment — part of a seal that was used to authenticate official documents — had reportedly been unearthed in a drainage canal at Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City, marking the first time that evidence of relations between the Assyrian Empire and the Kingdom of Judah had been uncovered in the city. By analyzing the clay, researchers were able to trace the shard’s origin to the Tigris basin region, where several Assyrian hubs were located. It was reportedly inscribed with Akkadian cuneiform — the world’s oldest written Semitic language.

Scientists subsequently deciphered the ancient text, discovering what appears to be a complaint by the Assyrian brass over a delayed tax payment by Judah that had been due on the Av, the 11th month of the Hebrew calendar. From this, researchers deduced that the doc was an ancient tax notice from the Assyrian Emperor to a Judean King, which rang shockingly similar to a Biblical account of how the empire made the Kingdom of Judah their vassal state.

Per a passage in II Kings 18 and 19, during the reign of Judah’s King Hezekiah, “King Sennacherib of Assyria marched against all the fortified towns of Judah and seized them.”

“King Hezekiah sent this message to the king of Assyria at Lachish: ‘I have done wrong; withdraw from me; and I shall bear whatever you impose on me,’” the excerpt read. “So the king of Assyria imposed upon King Hezekiah of Judah a payment of 300 talents of silver and 30 talents of gold.”

Alas, the fragment “does not include the exact year of the inscription, as the part that would have carried it broke off,” per Zilberg. However, based on stylistic and linguistic considerations, experts were able to date the artifact to between the end of the 8th century and the middle of the 7th century BCE — which corresponded to the “period of turmoil” between Judah and Assyria, where tensions over tribute payments reached a breaking point.

“We have the Hezekiah revolt right against Assyrian King Sennacherib,” recalled Zilberg. “Hezekiah delayed paying taxes for a certain period, leading Sennacherib to march on Jerusalem.”

Coincidentally, this military campaign and its fiscal outcome are highlighted in both the Bible and Assyrian sources, according to the Times of Israel. Ultimately, the fragment literally helped illuminate political relations in the ancient world, illustrating how even small Kingdoms like Judah were engaged in tense relations with one of the preeminent superpowers of the period.

“While we cannot determine the background for this demand, whether it stemmed from a mere technical delay or carried political significance, the very existence of such an official appeal would seemingly attest to a certain point of friction between Judah and the imperial government,” said Zilberg, according to the Biblical Archaeology Society. “It is a wonderful addition to the history of the relations between Judah and Assyria.”

He said that the fragment’s discovery proves how even the tiniest artifacts can provide essential information. In this case, it was a missing puzzle piece on where history and the Bible intersect, demonstrating how these Biblical stories are rooted in the historical events of the era.

“This artifact is very, very important in connecting the history of the Land of Israel to the Bible and to the history of the ancient Near East as a whole,” said Zilberg. “There is so much that we do not know, and then these inscriptions come in and shine a very particular light on a very particular subject. It is very exciting.” READ MORE
