Turkey Newspaper Yeni Safak Calls For A Global ‘Army Of Islam’ To Come Against Israel And Take Jerusalem

The report suggested the formation of a “Jerusalem Task Group” to take steps to form an army of Islam that would besiege Israel. “In a possible military operation, the first step is expected to involve 250,000 soldiers, and the establishment of joint land, air and naval bases for use in the short term” it said.

When Turkey’s semi-official newspaper Yeni Safak called for urgent action in forming a 57-nation “Army of Islam” to besiege and attack Israel, a suggestion undoubtedly approved with at least a wink and nod by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, it would signal the possible intent to create the largest military force on the planet – one nearly as large as the total population of the Jewish state.

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:2,3 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: The astute student of Bible prophecy knows something that almost none of the world’s leaders who constantly try to bring peace to the Middle East are aware of. There can be no peace, and there will be no peace in the Middle East without deciding the fate of Jerusalem. Why all the fuss over Jerusalem? Because that is where the King of Kings will return to when He rules and reigns for one thousand years on the Throne of David. The entire Battle of Armageddon will be fought over who has the right to Jerusalem, and the global army of Islam will be the muscle behind the Antichrist for the time of Jacob’s trouble. 

The report came just ahead of the summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and was published under the headline, “What if an Army of Islam was formed against Israel?” It was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

But it wasn’t a rhetorical question. It was actually a suggestion to combine the military forces of all Islamic countries to overwhelm the Israeli army in manpower, budget and equipment – even boasting with statistics.

On December 12, 2017, ahead of the summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul, the Turkish daily Yeni Şafak, which is close to Erdoğan and his ruling AKP party, published an article titled “A Call for Urgent Action,” which also appeared on the paper’s website under the title “What If an Army of Islam Was Formed against Israel?” The article called on the 57 member states of the OIC to form a joint “Army of Islam” to besiege and attack the state of Israel.

It notes that such a joint army will greatly exceed the Israeli army in manpower, equipment and budget, and presents statistics to prove this. It also advocates establishing joint bases for the army’s ground, air and naval forces that will arrive from all over the Muslim world to besiege Israel, while noting that Pakistan, as the only nuclear country, has “a special status” among the OIC countries. An interactive map provides information on military forces stationed in various locations and the role they can play in the potential joint Muslim attack on Israel.

Much of the information in the article was provided by Turkey’s SADAT International Defense and Consulting Company, which provides consultancy on defense and warfare, both conventional and unconventional, and on military organization, training and gear. The company promotes pan-Islamic military cooperation. According to its mission statement, it seeks “to establish defense collaboration and defense industry cooperation among Islamic countries, to help the Islamic world take its rightful place among the superpowers by providing … strategic consultancy and training services to the militaries and homeland security forces of Islamic countries.”

The SADAT company was founded by Erdoğan’s senior adviser on military affairs, retired General Adnan Tanrıverdi, and is chaired by his son, Melih Tanrıverdi. Adnan Tanrıverdi served in the Turkish army’s artillery corps and is an expert on asymmetric warfare. He was dismissed from the Turkish military in 1996 for his Islamist leanings.

In the report, Israel is described as “the outpost of the new Crusade and a dagger in the heart of Islam,” and “the eyes, ears and fist of the Christian World.”

“If the OIC member states unite and form a joint military force, it will be the largest army in the world,” the newspaper report said. “These countries’ total population is 1,674,526,931. The number of soldiers in active service in these countries is at least 5,206,100. Their [overall] military defense budget, of $174.7 billion, is also worthy of emphasis.”

It continues by contrasting the size of this potential Islamic force with Israel’s military capabilities.

“As for Israel, it is significantly inferior,” the report said. “The population of this country, which attempted to occupy Jerusalem while surrounded by Muslim states, is 8,049,314. Note that the population of Istanbul alone exceeds 14 million. The number of soldiers in active service in the [Israeli] occupation forces is 160,000, and [Israel’s] defense budget is approximately $15.6 billion.

The report suggested the formation of a “Jerusalem Task Group” to take steps to form an Islamic army that would besiege Israel.

“In a possible military operation, the first step is expected to involve 250,000 soldiers, and the establishment of joint land, air and naval bases for use in the short term,” explained the report. It would include the mobilization of 500 tanks and armored vehicles, 100 war planes, 500 attack helicopters and 50 warships and submarines.
Interactive maps provided information on specific bases and operations against Israel.

“Turkey will serve as an important headquarters during the operation, due to its land, air and naval infrastructures,” the report continued. “The Turkish army, which carried out ‘Operation Euphrates Shield’ [in Syria in 2017] with great success, is now ranked the world’s seventh strongest army, and the second largest army among the NATO powers. Turkey has approximately 4,000 tanks and 1,000 war planes and other aircraft. Its navy made significant progress during the last years, with 194 vessels at its disposal.”

The report also noted Pakistan, with its nuclear arsenal, “has important status among the 57 Muslim countries.”

In a statement, Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein described President Donald Trump’s Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital as a blow to Muslims, and added: “The Malaysian armed forces are ready to fulfill their duty regarding Jerusalem.” source

THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: The Last Man Standing

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Will You Be The Last Man Standing When The Lord Jesus Comes For His Church And The Good Fight Of Faith Finally Reaches The Finish Line?

The Bible never presents the Christian life as a casual walk through friendly territory; it presents it as a fight, a race, a warfare and a watch. The tragedy is that many men begin with fire in their bones, a Bible in their hand, and a burden in their heart, only to quit somewhere along the way when the wounds, disappointments, temptations and weariness begin to pile up. Some are taken out by sin, some by bitterness, some by pride, some by the love of this present world, and some simply grow tired of standing alone. But Paul’s testimony at the end of his life was not that he had enjoyed an easy road, but that he had stayed in the battle: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:” That is the cry of the faithful soldier, it is yours today, Christian?

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” 2 Timothy 2:3,4 (KJB) 

The question “Who will be the last man standing?” is a searching question for every saved believer here in the closing hours of the Church Age. Will you still be faithful when others walk away? Will you still preach the Book when compromise is easier? Will you still get back up when you fall? Will you still be watching, working and waiting when the Lord Jesus Christ comes for His church? The last man standing will not be the strongest man, the loudest man, or the most gifted man; he will be the faithful man, held up by the Lord, anchored in the Book, washed in the blood, and looking for that blessed hope. The Bible says, “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.” In a day when so many are quitting by inches, cooling off by degrees, and trading conviction for comfort, may God help us to stay in the fight, rise when we fall, and be found standing at our post when the trumpet sounds!! On this Sunday Service, we ask who will be the last man standing? TO THE FIGHT!!!

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: How Baptists And The King James Bible Were At The Spiritual Forefront Of The Founding Of The United States Of America In 1776

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

America Owes A Debt To The Baptist Preachers Who Fought For Religious Liberty Against The Powers Of Church And State In 1776

The story of America’s founding cannot rightly be told without talking about the Baptists. Because while polished statesmen were debating liberty in halls of power, Baptist preachers were paying the price for it in the prison houses, courtrooms, and hostile colonial towns. They were fined, mocked, taxed, beaten down by religious establishments, and in some cases jailed simply for preaching the gospel without permission from the state. These were not men trying to build a secular nation without God; they were Bible believers fighting the old Roman spirit of state-controlled religion dressed up in Protestant clothing. The Baptists understood that Jesus Christ is the head of the church, not Caesar, not Congress, not a magistrate, and not a government-approved religious machine.

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” 2 Timothy 4:2 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, what the Baptists helped secure in America was not a godless public square, but liberty of conscience—freedom to preach, freedom to assemble, freedom to baptize believers, freedom to print and distribute the Bible, and freedom to worship God without asking permission from a state church. Men like John Leland and Isaac Backus stood against the religious powers of their day and helped push the nation toward the protections that would become the First Amendment. America was not founded as the Kingdom of God, and it was never the Church, but it was founded in the shadow of an open Bible. The tragedy of our day is that the liberty Baptists fought to preserve is now being used by modern America to reject the very God who made liberty worth having. Also present at the founding of the United States of America was the “Bible of the Revolution”, a King James Bible New Testament published by Robert Aitken in 1771. It was so small the soliders of the Continential Army could easily carry it their pockets. And you wonder how it is we beat the strongest army on Earth? With the word of a King! By 1782, the fledgling Congress would authorize the publication of a complete King James Bible, and that became the pillar on which America began. The King James Bible was one of the foundational texts of English-speaking colonial America, shaping literacy, preaching, law, morals, rhetoric, and education. Harvard, Yale, and Princeton were all born in a world where King James scripture was treated as the central authority of truth, and ministers were among their chief educational products. Where we are here in 2026 is a Podcast for another day. Join us as we journey back to when America began, and meet the Baptists, and the Bible, that God used to start our nation.

We Gave A Bible To Maria At Glory Fellowship Church, And She Used It To Read It To Her Lost Dad Every Day For Two Weeks, He Got Saved And Given His Own Bible

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

From A Life Of Theft Since Age 12 To New Life In Jesus Christ, Jared Was Saved After Hearing The Bible Read To Him By His Own Child, Maria from Glory Fellowship Church in Kenya

A few months ago, we launched Operation Africa! in Kisii, Kenya, putting over 1,000 Bibles into the hands of Pastor Dancan and the Glory Fellowship Church and Orphanage. Since that time, the church has seen a wonderful influx of new people, many of whom became members, and an increase in the number of children taken care of by the orphanage. Maria has been attending the church for the past two years. She was given a Bible by us, and she faithfully began reading it to her father, Jared, who got saved! Here now is his amazing salvation story.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17 (KJB)

Pastor Dancan writes: “Today during our church service, a young man came forward to share a wonderful testimony. He told us that he gave his life to Jesus because his child, who has been attending our church, has been reading the Bible to him every day for the past two weeks. He shared that he had been a thief since the age of 12, but through hearing God’s Word from his own child, his heart was transformed. Today, he made the decision to follow Jesus Christ. Pastor, the Bibles you generously gifted to us are changing lives and touching many souls. As we welcomed him into our church family, we presented him with a Bible of his own so that he can continue to grow in his faith. Thank you for your generosity and for partnering with us in spreading the Gospel. May God continue to bless you abundantly.” Praise the Lord, what a blessing! For them, and for us.

Christian, this is what missions are all about. The sending out of God’s word to the ends of the Earth, the raising up people to plant and minister the gospel to the lost wherever they may be found, and the reaping of the soul harvest. Operation Africa! gave 13-year old Maria her first Bible, she took that gift and began to minister to her father, he got saved and was then presented with one of the Bibles we provided. This is why we work, this is why we labour, this is why we send out free Bibles as far and wide as the Lord will enable us to do. Your prayer and generous financial support makes all of it possible. Come help us to stay in the fight, we need you!!
