Are you seeing biblical prophecy being fulfilled?

I have several important reasons for emailing you today. As we see unprecedented turmoil in the nations of the Middle East, I can't help but think of the biblical prophecies that are being fulfilled before our eyes.
Consider the scope of countries and governments in turmoil: Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Syria. Add to this the threat of a nuclear Iran and their pledge to push the Jewish people into the sea. We must ask ourselves: What is going on? Are we witnessing the end of the age?

Muslims in Turkey

In addition, consider the recent happenings in Turkey. Turkey has been a secular nation since the 1920s. But now devout Muslims are increasing in power and there is a movement to convert the present, secular state to Shariah law. In a recent election, 325 seats in the 550-seat Turkish parliament were captured by this group.
It is what the head of this party, Prime Minister Erdogan, told the world that is startling, and must awaken us to realize that the prophecy of Ezekiel 38 is at hand. The Islamic leader stated: "Believe me, Sarajevo won today as much as Istanbul, Beirut won as much as Izmir, Damascus won as much as Ankara, … the West Bank and Jerusalem won as much as Diyarbakir."
Now, what is Erdogan really talking about? I believe he is saying, "I am a representative of the Muslims and Muslim nations; I will bring us together, and this coalition will defeat Israel."

Prophecy in the Bible

The Bible is very clear on this point: When Israel has been regathered in the Holy Land, the nations of the world will form a coalition against them, to attack them. Jesus tells us, when this happens we are to lift up our eyes because our redemption is drawing near.
