THE MIDDLE EAST is in turmoil as factions fight for control of Syria. One, backed by Turkey, controls Damascus while others backed by the US and Israel control the south and east of the country. 

It’s fascinating but a fact: The prophet Ezekiel foresaw a day when Turkey would be at the center of the geopolitical and theopolitical world.

The situation is fluid and recent developments have taken many observers, including us, by surprise. Where this ends only the Lord knows for sure, so we return to Ezekiel 38 and 39 and compare that prophecy with other biblical references to the Day of the Lord.
