The Turkish organization IHH, which played a central role in the Mavi Marmara flotilla incident in May, continues to lead its campaign to incite hatred against Israel both in Turkey and abroad.

IHH spokespeople have been using their heroic myth of the Mavi Marmara in the campaign and advocating for every Palestinian demand, including that of the return of Palestinians to “Jaffa, Tel Aviv and Haifa.”

IHH leader Blent Yildirim recently accused Israel again of having perpetrated a massacre on the Marmara’s passengers and claimed that the aim behind the interception of the ship was to take over oil and gas resources in the Mediterranean Sea. He also cheered on the assistance the IHH provides to the Islamic terror militia Hamas which rules the Gaza Strip.

In the final week of 2010, the IHH held a reception for the Mavi Marmara at the port of Istanbul, which thousands of people including the families of the nine Turkish activists shot dead on the ship. No senior member of the Turkish Government attended the ceremony. The attendees chanted “death to Israel.” In addition, an inauguration ceremony was held marking the construction of a residential building sponsored by IHH in the town of Jabalia, during which an IHH representative expressed his hope for the return of Palestinians to Jaffa, Tel Aviv and Haifa.

My comment;  For Turkey to turn against Israel after being such a close ally for many years should not be a surprise to anyone.

The Bible speaks about the future of Turkey in Ezekial 38: 3-6 “Thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal. I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them splendidly attired, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords; Persia, Ethiopia and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer with all its troops; Beth-togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troops–many peoples with you.”

Tubal and Gomer were sons of Japheth, Noah’s third son. They settled in Asia Minor, the land that would become Turkey thousands of years later. Many of the people living there today are probably not direct descendents of Noah’s grandsons, but the name of the geographical location as it was known in ancient times is still relevant.

For Turkey to take part in this great End Times Gog-Magog alliance against Israel it MUST come under the control of radical Islamists. While this will not be pleasant for Israel, much less the Bible Believing Christians in Turkey, it is inevitable. The only reaction we need to have is to pray for the Believers in Turkey that they will have wisdom and courage to stay faithful and to continue spreading the Gospel in this dark but very important country.
