Iran's President Visits Turkey for Trade Talks

Ezekiel clearly spoke of WHO would be the players in a LAST DAYS coalition of nations who would seek to destroy Israel.

Two the the nations he spoke of are Iran (Persia) and Turkey (Gomer and Beth-Togarmah).

So if we are in the very last days...one should expect to see signs of this coalition coming together.

Today we see this headline;

Iran's President Rouhani visits Turkey for trade talks

Hassan Rouhani is holding trade talks with senior Turkish officials in Ankara, on the first visit to Turkey by an Iranian president since 1996.

Mr Rouhani is expected to sign agreements aimed at doubling annual commerce to $30bn (£18bn) by 2015.

The neighbours are looking to lift the trade restrictions imposed by the UN over Iran's nuclear programme.

They are also reportedly seeking to improve bilateral ties that have been strained over the conflict in Syria.

Tehran has been a steadfast ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, while Ankara has backed rebel groups trying to overthrow him.

Their governments are keen to increase trade. Iran is seeking a bigger share in Turkey's energy market, while Turkish firms want to expand in their third largest export market.

Turkey's trade with Iran was $22bn in 2012, before the US imposed restrictions that limited purchases of Iranian natural gas with gold. Last year, trade had declined to $14.6bn.

Turkey's Development Minister Cevdet Yilmaz recently described the international sanctions imposed on Iran over its disputed nuclear programme as "unfair".

Next week, representatives of Iran and the so-called P5+1 - the US, UK, France, Russia and China, plus Germany - will resume trying to draft an agreement that would provide a comprehensive solution to the nuclear issue and see the sanctions lifted.

The Iranian president's visit to Turkey has also brought with it a delicate issue of protocol, reports the BBC's James Reynolds in Istanbul.

Visiting foreign leaders normally make a trip to the mausoleum of Turkey's founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.

But Iran - an Islamic republic - is reluctant to pay its respects to Ataturk - the founder and champion of a secular state, our correspondent says.

For this reason, he adds, no mausoleum visit is reported to be planned.

Russia appears to be the strong leader who will pull this coalition together...but they will meet with a STUNNING DEFEAT when God himself intervenes.

We can't know for sure, but many watchers believe this will be something that happens DURING THE TRIBULATION.  So if, like me, you are a PRE-TRIB guy and believe Jesus will come with a SHOUT before the Tribulation...it's quite exciting to watch the convergence of all these signs...because that means the SHOUT could come at any time.

Ezekiel 38
17 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: You are the one I spoke of in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel. At that time they prophesied for years that I would bring you against them. 18 This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign Lord. 19 In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20 The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground. 21 I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign Lord. Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 I will execute judgment on him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. 23 And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’
