1 Peter 5:8-9 NKJV — Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

Faster than the speed of light. Before you know it, time has passed you by and you never get done what needed to get done. Ok, maybe not the best grammar but you get the idea. No matter what our goal in life is, we always seem to get distracted. Chances are that we all have done this at least once, texting while driving. Instead of concentrating on the road ahead, we are drawn to our mobile phone because we believe that what is on our mobile device is more important than what is in front of you. In the days we live in we see the world struggling to find answers to many problems but we are told to look the other way. Prayer and seeking God’s wisdom and guidance is the most important thing we should do, especially if we are to preach the Gospel in all the world. What is causing all the distractions? Most of all, who is behind it and what does he not want you to see?

2 Corinthians 11:3 NKJV — But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

A Three Ringed Circus
.
Like a three ringed circus with all the bells and whistles the devil has got the world amused with a trial that rivals a badly written soap opera. A nation trapped in political quicksand desperately hoping someone will throw them a rope and pull them out of the quagmire they have created. Hatred, jealousy and greed have pushed a country to the brink of a civil war. While being compelled to watch we forget that the world still turns. Southeast Asia, Australia, Africa, South and Central America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, people are hungry for the Lord but the devil does not want them to hear the Gospel. Taking attention away from global events we become oblivious to the moves other governments are making.

Ezekiel 38:1-3 NKJV — Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, “and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.

The pawns of a dangerous chess game have begun to move. A new military incursion into Libya is part of a long-awaited dream by Turkish President Erdogan to return the Ottoman Caliphate, a global Islamic rule that subjugated Jews and Christians for six centuries. Is this the beginning of the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38 and 39? Recent hostilities between the United States and Iran, political unrest in Israel and the presence of the Russian military in Syria makes it seem likely.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that Turkish-backed Syrian mercenaries have begun arriving in Libya. Approximately 2,400 troops are already in Tripoli while another 1,700 are currently undergoing training in Turkey. Activists informed the SOHR that Turkey intends to send a total of 6,000 troops to Libya. The Syrian troops have been involved in conflict with the Kurds in Libya. Until now, the role of the Turkish military has been limited to 35 military personnel involved solely in training and advisory roles.

Turkish intervention is a manifestation of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s aspiration to establish himself as the leader of a global Islamic nation. The SOHR reported that a commander of the Turkish-backed Syrian troops en route to Libya announced as their battle cry, “We will present our souls for the Ottoman Caliphate.”

The Ottoman Caliphate, known in the West as the Ottoman or Turkish Empire, was founded in the 13th Century and eventually controlled much of Southeast Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. This control lasted for several hundred years and only truly ended after WWI when the empire was partitioned by the Allied Powers and the 101st and final Caliph, Sultan Abdulmecid II, was deposed and expelled.

It is not a coincidence that the area the Ottoman Empire covered the same area that the Eastern Roman Empire ruled until it’s dissolvement in 1453AD. Before his election, Turkish political analysts feared that candidate Erdogan’s rise to power was fueled by his aspirations and those of his supporters to return Turkey to its former glory at the head of the Muslim world. His term in office confirmed these fears. In the wake of a failed attempt at a coup by a faction in the army in 2016, Erdogan mobilized the military against the populace and jailed hundreds of dissidents.

If successful, could this be the start of the ‘Revived’ Roman Empire as many bible scholars have predicted to be the ruling power on Earth during the end times or could this be a ‘Revised’ Roman Empire? In the era of revisionism that we are in today, it would be easy to be distracted by a mislabeled or misinterpretation of future events so that we would think what we are witnessing is not so. Many believe, with the exit of Britain out of the European Union, there will be no revival of the Roman Empire but a revision of the Empire could come to fruition.

The key to the Turkish incursion into Libya and the hidden motivation is actually quite straightforward. Two months ago, Turkey signed a maritime borders deal that gave Turkey a claim to parts of the eastern Mediterranean. In addition to its strategic military importance, the eastern Mediterranean has huge natural gas deposits. Turkey’s entrance into the eastern Mediterranean puts it into close proximity with Israel and its offshore natural gas facilities. The pieces are being put into place and the urgency for prayer is now.

The clock is moving closer to midnight but midnight for who? Are we too involved with the sideshow or are we focused on our relationship and walk with God? Satan will use every tool in his arsenal to get you to question God and denounce your faith. The devil wants you to believe that politics and globalism are more important than the Word of God and the promise of eternal life by the acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. When the clock strikes midnight time will end but for those who live with the promise of God life would have just begun.

Ephesians 6:11-16 NKJV — Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
