Matthew 24:7 – For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places
Earthquakes in Scripture
Isaiah 29:6 – You will be punished by the Lord of hosts With thunder and earthquake and great noise, With storm and tempest And the flame of devouring fire.
Major earthquake of 7.8 on the Richter scale brought widespread devastation to southern Turkey and northern Syria.
The Hittites and Assyrians both controlled this region also known as Anatolia.
These lands play a major role in both the Old and New Testaments.
It has long been thought that Turkey and Syria are part of the Gog-Magog alliance in Ezekiel 38 and 39. Two of the nations who attack Israel and God Almighty miraculously smites them with His own hand.
It is thought that Russia is Magog and Putin is Gog, the leader of Magog.
That alliance has been made in the natural in just the last year.
Four major fault lines – tectonic plates – merge here
Counting the earthquakes in the past two days, this area has had 8 earthquakes over 7 on the Richter scale in 25 years.
Current reports say more than 4300 dead as of Tuesday night
7.8 quake 23 km east of Nurdagi
4:17 a.m. on February 5
Torn by war, a refugee crisis and economic troubles, this predominately muslim nation doesn’t have the infrastructure to withstand such powerful tremors. Watch as this building, which seemed to withstand the quake and several of its aftershocks, suddenly collapses
The earthquake and at least 8 aftershocks hit in the middle of the night so most people were home in bed.
Snow and freezing temperatures made the initial devastation even worse. Huge humanitarian crisis.

(Very likely the anti-Christ will come from this region)
Micah 7:8 – Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, The Lord will be a light to me.

Romans 4:17 – (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

Genesis 7:5 – And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him.
Matthew 7:5 – Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
INTERESTING SIDE NOTE:
The Turkish Lyra went through the floor just before the quake. 20 Lyra to the American dollar.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, a close friend to Vladimir Putin, has been attempting to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine. The war has destabilized the region and brought hardship to Turkey.
On January 20, Erdogan called Ukrainian President Zelensky offering to broker a “Permanent Peace” between Russia and Ukraine.
This has angered the NATO nations including the US, Great Britain, France and Germany.
Is the sudden tanking of the Turkish Lyra payback from the globalists of NATO and the World Economic Forum?
