Coup in Turkey

Categories: Volume 1, No.1, Nov. 19801.1 min read

A coup from the Turkish military occurred on Friday, September 12. Its purpose was to calm the rising strife fomenting among the leftist element. The coup accented the severity of the unrest which in past months had led to the ambushment of several American military personnel stationed in Turkey.

These developments are of particular interest to brethren who have understood Ezekiel’s prophecy to show Turkey (Togarmah, perhaps also Gomer-Ezekiel 38:6) allied with Gog’s forces from the north. If this is correct, it seems to require a shift of Turkey’s political alignment from the West to the East. A leftist takeover would serve that purpose. Presently Turkey is allied with the Nato powers.

A fuller treatment of Ezekiel 38 is available in tract form by request. It interprets the prophecy largely from a geographical approach. It identifies the areas where the peoples Ezekiel spoke of lived, and correlates the nations which inhabit those lands today.
