ISRAEL DECLARES TURKEY AS THE 'NEW IRAN' AND IS NEXT ON ISRAEL'S LIST AFTER IRAN - COULD THIS BE THE PATH TO THE FINAL FULFILLMENT OF DANIEL 11:45?
NEWS UPDATE - 3rd March 2026
As the Middle East erupts in conflict and war, with Israel
and America bombing Iran and war spreading into Lebanon and surrounding countries, some interesting rhetoric is coming from Israeli politicians:
"Israeli politicians are escalating rhetoric against Turkey as a new regional threat while building alliances to counter it. Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett declared at the Conference of Presidents in Jerusalem that Turkey is the new Iran, accusing Ankara and Qatar of empowering Islamist movements in the region. Days later, Prime Minister Netanyahu proposed a hexagon of alliances including India, Greece, and Cyprus to counter what he called radical Shia and Sunni axes." (source)

"Turkey is the new Iran"? If Israel believes this, then a war with Turkey is inevitable!
Daniel 11:45 ...'And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.'
The 'he' in Daniel 11:45 is the king of Turkey, and to 'plant the tabernacle of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain' is to basically go to war with Israel and make Jerusalem his capital. Are we now seeing the possible pathway for this to take place? Erdogan of Turkey is coming across as a 'peacemaker' with the regional conflicts. But if Israel sees Turkey as the 'new Iran' and is Israel's next target after Iran, then this could force the hand of Turkey to go to war with Israel and go for Jerusalem. As we reported a few months ago (see here), analysts were saying a few months ago that Turkey could be next on Israel's list of targets.
The interesting point about what we reported a few months ago, is that they stated that if Israel goes to war with Turkey, NATO would NOT help Turkey - "and none shall help him" (Daniel 11:45).
What does all this show us? That the final events are fast approaching and the close of probation (Daniel 12:1) is at hand. Which means we must be preparing for the final conflict coming upon this world (mark of the beast and time of trouble) by surrending ALL to Jesus, by letting go of everything in this world, repenting of ALL sin, allowing Jesus to fully cleanse us and make us spotless, so that we are ready for that holy, heavenly abode.
Romans 13:11-14 ...'And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.'
Ephesians 5:27 ...' That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.'
