The Road To Ezekiel 38: Turkey’s Dangerous Path Against Israel
In the swirl of Middle Eastern crises, the world has focused almost exclusively on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Hezbollah’s rockets, or Hamas’s terror tunnels. Yet a far greater danger to Israel is quietly taking shape, one that could redefine the balance of power in the entire region. That danger is Turkey—once a partner of Israel, now transformed into a bitter enemy under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
This shift is not a passing flare of anger over Gaza. It is part of a deliberate and sweeping strategy: Erdoğan’s quest to crown himself as the leader of the Muslim world and to restore the prestige of the Ottoman Empire. For Israel, this may prove the most dangerous challenge of all.
From Ally to Adversary
Not long ago, Israel and Turkey shared intelligence, military cooperation, and robust trade. They were bound together by pragmatism in a volatile neighborhood. But Erdoğan has methodically unraveled this partnership. In recent months, he has cut off economic ties, blocked Israeli planes and ships, and issued an unending stream of fiery rhetoric accusing Israel of crimes against humanity.
This is more than policy—it is ideology. Erdoğan has chosen to turn his back on Israel not for short-term gain but for long-term legacy. He is laying down the foundation for a new Middle Eastern order where Turkey sits at the head of the table, and Israel is cast as the enemy to unite the Muslim world.
The Neo-Ottoman Dream
At the heart of Erdoğan’s vision is neo-Ottomanism: the dream of reviving Turkey’s influence from the Balkans to the Middle East, from North Africa to Central Asia. For him, Gaza is not just a humanitarian cause—it is the stage on which he can proclaim himself the new champion of Islam.
He speaks not merely of supporting Palestinians but of building an “Army of Islam” capable of marching on Jerusalem. Such language, once dismissed as bluster, now takes on chilling weight when viewed alongside Turkey’s rapid military modernization and its growing web of influence stretching into Syria, Libya, Qatar, and beyond.
By turning Gaza into the rallying cry, Erdoğan seeks to do what no other Muslim leader has accomplished in decades: unite fractured Islamic states under one banner. That banner is pointed squarely against Israel.
Power Play in Syria
Perhaps the most dangerous element of Erdoğan’s strategy lies to Israel’s north. Turkey has entrenched itself in Syria, creating zones of influence just across Israel’s border. This puts Turkish forces—and the Islamist militias it backs—perilously close to Israel’s northern frontier.
For Israel, the nightmare scenario is clear: a multi-front war not only with Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iranian proxies in Syria, but with Turkey itself—an established state with advanced weaponry, a massive army, and global alliances.
Military Might on the Rise
Unlike Hamas or Hezbollah, Turkey is no ragtag militant faction. It possesses the second-largest army in NATO, with over 450,000 active troops, state-of-the-art drones that have already reshaped battlefields from Nagorno-Karabakh to Ukraine, and a growing missile program. Its navy and air force rank among the strongest in the region, and its defense industry is expanding rapidly.
This combination of military power, strategic geography, and ideological fervor makes Turkey a unique threat. Iran may be Israel’s most immediate adversary, but Turkey’s long-term potential is greater: a modern state, a powerful army, and a leader bent on empire.
More Dangerous Than Iran?
For years, Israeli leaders and analysts have worried about Tehran’s nuclear clock. But what if the greater danger is Ankara’s ambition clock? Iran represents a sectarian Shi‘ite power; Turkey represents the possibility of a pan-Sunni revival.
Where Iran builds power through fear, Turkey builds it through influence—through trade, cultural ties, religious rhetoric, and the promise of Islamic unity. In many ways, this is the more potent formula. A leader who can unite diverse Muslim nations under the banner of Jerusalem’s “liberation” poses a threat that reaches far beyond rockets and centrifuges.
The Prophetic Dimension
For those who read history with the Bible in hand, the rise of Turkey as Israel’s adversary should not come as a surprise. Ezekiel 38 describes a vast northern coalition led by “Gog of the land of Magog” that will one day march against Israel. Among the nations listed are Meshech and Tubal—regions that many scholars trace back to modern-day Turkey.
This prophecy outlines not just a sudden attack, but a deliberate alignment of nations under a leader who seeks to destroy Israel in the latter days.
Signs of the Times
Global Red Flag – Several Supervolcanoes Waking Simultaneously?
A major eruption of just one of the Earth’s supervolcanoes would have the potential to produce a long-term “volcanic winter” and a horrifying global famine in which hundreds of millions of people would die. So should we be alarmed that several of those supervolcanoes appear to be waking up simultaneously?
In recent months, I have written a number of articles about the unusual seismic activity that we have been witnessing all over the world. There are many in the scientific community that are deeply concerned that all of this seismic activity may be building up to some sort of a crescendo, but so far most people in the general population are not paying attention to the warnings.
Scientists tell us that there are 20 supervolcanoes on our planet, and one of the largest is right here in the United States.
A full-blown eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano could literally bury almost the entire nation in volcanic ash and absolutely destroy U.S. food production.
Now scientists are telling us that magma underneath Yellowstone has been “drifting northeast”, and that is not a good sign at all. The following comes from a news article that was posted on MSN entitled “Is Yellowstone’s Supervolcano Waking Up? Geologists Think There Are Signs of Movement”…
Seismologist Ninfa Bennington and the rest of her team suggest that the vast underground magma chambers, long responsible for the caldera’s explosive history, now appear to be drifting northeast. This means that the next major volcanic eruption could happen in that direction.
The magma that exists under Yellowstone is very dense, and when enough pressure builds up “it can result in highly violent eruptions”…
Rhyolite is a dense type of magma, rich in silica, that doesn’t flow easily, but when pressure builds, it can result in highly violent eruptions. The researchers also estimate that beneath northeastern Yellowstone, the crust may hold as much as 105 cubic miles of molten rock. That’s almost the same amount of magma that erupted 1.3 million years ago during the massive Mesa Falls event, as reported by Newsweek. The study found at least seven zones under Yellowstone that hold massive amounts of magma, with some of them linked together and sharing the same supply.
Let us hope that we do not see a large scale eruption of Yellowstone any time soon, because it could mean the end of our society as we know it today.
Meanwhile, we are being warned that a supervolcano that is located in northern Nevada appears to be “awakening”…
A pair of earthquakes have struck northern Nevada, adding to the dozens of tremors reported near an ancient supervolcano feared to be awakening.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) revealed that a 3.7 and 3.2-magnitude earthquake were recorded Tuesday morning just after 9:30am ET.
The McDermitt supervolcano is not as well known as the Yellowstone supervolcano, but it is still extremely dangerous.
And the fact that we have seen “multiple seismic swarms” in the vicinity of the McDermitt supervolcano lately is raising a lot of eyebrows…
The early morning earthquakes also took place just days after multiple seismic swarms struck the area, including 38 quakes recorded around Valmy in the last week alone.
Between Saturday and Monday, 28 earthquakes struck the northern Nevada area, including a 4.8-magnitude quake during Saturday afternoon’s swarm.
On the other side of the world, the Campi Flegrei supervolcano in southern Italy has been shaking like crazy this year…
If you live around Naples, you know the ground breathes. Streets crack, the harbor silts up, steam curls from the earth, and swarms of small quakes rattle windows. All that action comes from Campi Flegrei, a wide “supervolcano” caldera that last erupted in 1538.
Naples is such a beautiful city.
But the people that are living there are sitting on top of a powder keg.
When it finally blows, the death toll will be catastrophic.
Geophysicist Stefan Burns recently posted a video that shows that the number of earthquakes at the Campi Flegrei supervolcano is way, way above normal in 2025…
If there is a large scale eruption at any of the supervolcanoes that I have discussed in this article, we could be facing a “volcanic winter” that lasts for an extended period of time.
In such a scenario, a significant portion of the global population would starve.
So I have no idea why the seismic activity that we are witnessing at these supervolcanoes is not receiving more attention.
On top of everything else, we are being told that the New Madrid Seismic Zone “is overdue for a major seismic event”…
