***UPDATE March 30, 2014***
Ankara’s support for the rebels is inclusive: Turkish troops are
posted at the roadside with supplies of ammo, fuel, food, mechanical
repair crews and medical aid for rebel forces as they head north. The
Turkish air force gives them air cover and Turkish agents arm them with
surveillance data on Syrian military movements ahead.
The Syrian fighter jet shot down on March 23 just inside the Turkish border was in fact downed in a dogfight with Turkish warplanes, while trying to bomb the rebel convoy heading for the new combat arena. Both sides preferred to stay quiet about the incident and its causes.
The rebels receiving Turkish military support are disclosed by our sources as belonging to two militias: The Syrian Revolutionaries Front under the command of Jamal Maarouf, which has gathered in remnants of the disbanded Free Syrian Army; and the Islamic Front, sponsored until recently by Saudi intelligence. They number around 4,000 fighting men including elements of the Nusra Front.
With powerful Turkish backing, this force has been able to carve a very narrow corridor into northwest Syria from the tall Jabal al-Zawiya in the Idlib region up to a point near Syria’s northern Mediterranean coast, thereby severing the northwestern link between Syria and Turkey.
This was the first time rebel forces had gained full control of a strategic corridor. First, they had to battle through and capture the towns of Kazab, Khirbet and Samra northwest of the coastal town of Latakia.
The Syrian army is throwing air, armored and heavy artillery strength against the rebels to stop them firming up their positions in those towns, while also aiming to regain command of the Syrian-Turkish border region.
The fighting Saturday, March 29 was most intense around Kasab.
This new development in the Syrian war raises two questions:
1. For how long can the Syrian rebels hold out against constant battering by superior military strength?
2. If the rebels are thrown out of their new positions, will the Turkish army come to their aid? If so, it would be Ankara’s first outright military incursion into Syrian territory and the first intrusion by a NATO member in its civil conflict.
Our sources in Ankara report that Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan is in favor of going ahead. He is vehemently opposed by the Turkish chief of staff.
It is this argument which triggered the banning of YouTube by the Turkish government Friday, March 28 - not the important municipal elections taking place Monday. A leaked recording published anonymously purported to reveal a conversation between Turkey’s foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, spy chief Hakan Fidan and a general discussing how to drum up a pretext for a Turkish attack inside Syria. A voice identified as that of Fidan appeared to suggest a missile assault as the pretext for a Turkish invasion.
Erdogan and Turkish intelligence chiefs are convinced that the leak was orchestrated by generals who are against deeper Turkish involvement in the Syria war
In the meantime, debkafile’s Iranian sources report that Tehran was so jittery about this turn of events that a Iranian military delegation was rushed to Ankara, arriving Saturday, to force the Erdogan to take his hands off the Syrian war by any means, including a threat to suspend oil supplies. The two sides are still talking.

Turkey Invades Syria as The Bible Says: Israel Next
This time, there's no question or doubt about
it. The last time Latakia was attacked it was supposedly in retaliation
for a Turkish warplane being shot down. Here is a link from Nov., 2013
for reference: http://www.timesofisrael.com/turkey-behind-syria-strike-on-hezbollah-bound-missiles/
Now, Turkey is even, after downing a Syrian warplane several days ago
in a dogfight, as the article below mentions. But here's a new blog
instead of continuous updates to my March 1, 2014 blog. And I have
attached it below this article for reference. Stay tunedt o this, as I
will add relevant material as it occurs.
Syrian rebels allowed to attack Latakia from Turkish soil under Turkish air cover. Iran raises Cain in Ankara
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report March 29, 2014, 10:45 PM (IST)
Intense fighting for Kasab in northwest Syria
Turkey has ratcheted up its intervention in the Syrian war to an unprecedented level, according to exclusive debkafile
military and intelligence sources. For the first time in the three-year
conflict the Turkish army is allowing Syrian rebel forces, including
the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front, passage through Turkish territory
for their offensive to capture the northwestern Syrian coastal area
where the Assad clan’s lands are situated.
The Syrian fighter jet shot down on March 23 just inside the Turkish border was in fact downed in a dogfight with Turkish warplanes, while trying to bomb the rebel convoy heading for the new combat arena. Both sides preferred to stay quiet about the incident and its causes.
The rebels receiving Turkish military support are disclosed by our sources as belonging to two militias: The Syrian Revolutionaries Front under the command of Jamal Maarouf, which has gathered in remnants of the disbanded Free Syrian Army; and the Islamic Front, sponsored until recently by Saudi intelligence.

What does all this have to do with anything?
First of all, it has to do with the original content of this blog, following the title below. A huge point of my blog is the difference between the parts which the nations of Turkey and Russia will play in the end times prophesied in the Bible.
But to tie up my update, I'd like to say, whatever
happened with Malaysian flight 370, the government's are required to lie because it was no
accident. It's beyond the public, and a personal affair between
governments. There's more than meets our eyes. Israel has closed all
embassies around the world, Russia
has taken control of a sovereign nation of Ukraine's Crimea region,
Turkey has recently shot down a Syrian plane, the whole world is a mess, and
twenty of the Malaysian planes' passengers were working for a company
whom Russia and China have reason to be against, as it has done business
with the NSA. It's beyond us but we're the victims. I thank God it
wasn't my own friends or family on board and I can only pray that God
will somehow give comfort and peace to all because ultimately God is our
strength. So sad. Prayers going up to all the passengers' families, friends and loved-ones.
Along with the material below, bare in mind that these are glorious times to live in, as children of Almighty God, and we are to do as He says, and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. It's high time to get and keep our lives and homes in order, and rely more heavily on God than ever before. If the birds of the air are fed, how much more will He provide for us? Read your Bible as much as possible and continuously pray for understanding and growth in all of our affairs.
To complete my update, here's some words and links you need to check out, from Craig C. White: "Russia is beginning to take back territory. I think the bible is telling us that 3 Russian leaders will announce that it is time to take back several countries on its western border. Dan 7:5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh." - READ COMPLETE ARTICLE HERE: http://hightimetoawake.com/caution-russia-in-bible-prophecy/

Who Is About To Invade Syria and Israel? Craig C. White Explains
By: Michael D. Tobin
March 1, 2014
Guest, Craig C. White, author and Bible prophecy teacher, discusses with me, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Syria, Israel, the middle east and end time Antichrist and middle east invasions leading to the war of Armageddon and Christ's return. Romans 13:11 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.
Who is fighting in Syria, and what does the Bible say about who will be fighting before the destruction of Damascus, Syria and then invasion of Israel? Who will initiate these two invasions? And much more in this interview.
Click on the link below to hear Craig describe how many Bible scholars are now seeing the accuracy in the area now known as Turkey, being Gog and Magog in the Bible, and not Russia as previously thought. Also see the likeliness of the Anti-Christ being a Muslim adhering to an ideology and false religion, rather than being an innocent seeker of God and true religion, because Bible teacher and author, Bill Salas told me that most scholars believe the Anti-Christ is not Muslim, and that is why I believe the real Islam is in reality not a religion at all, but a very old form of one-world domination ideology designed to control enough masses and population in order to achieve their ultimate domination, as they and so-called Christians also controlled large parts of the known world in the past.
So in short, the Anti-Christ may very well initially claim a religion, yet not truthfully adhere to any religion, but history shows us politicians and rulers habitually claim one thing for approval of the populace, and their actions prove otherwise. And there are some very important "otherwises" in this interview. So please take a listen and go through the lower article by Craig C. White.

Princes of Turkey!
Most prominent amongst his brothers.
By Craig C. White
http://hightimetoawake.com/princes-of-turkey/
I know that most bible prophecy teachers say that Magog in the Ezekiel 38 refers to Russia. It is High Time to recognize that Magog is not Russia! That view came about by transcribing “chief” (or the Hebrew “rosh”) to mean Russia(Eze 38:1-3).
Transposing Hebrew words into English phonetic equivalents is not
proper bible prophecy interpretation technique. That technique is not
used elsewhere to interpret bible prophecy. Rosh means first or primary.
Magog is mentioned in the genealogies of Genesis 10 as well as 1Chronicles 1.
Magog is mentioned alongside of his brothers Meshech, Tubal, and Gomer,
plus a few more. It is interesting to note that most bible prophecy
teachers place Tubal, Gomer, Togarmah, and Meshech in today’s Turkey.
Magog, Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, and Togarmah are all
people. As a matter of fact they are relatives. Magog, Meshech, Tubal
and Gomer are brothers. Togarmah is Gomer’s son. They are among the
first families to resettle the world after the devastation of Noah’s
flood.
Gen 10:1-3 Now these are
the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto
them were sons born after the flood. 2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and
Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 3 And
the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Magog, Meshech, Tubal, and Gomer are also sons of
Japheth. Japheth and his sons all settled in today’s Turkey. You could
call Japheth the King of Turkey. His sons are all Princes. Magog was the
chief or most prominent Prince amongst his brothers. Princes were set
over provinces.
Eze 38:1-3
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy
face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief Prince of Meshech and
Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Now let’s allow the bible to interpret the bible. The
theme of Princes settling and ruling a land is used in many other
places in the bible. The Princes of Israel are mentioned a bunch of
times. Princes of other nations are also mentioned (1Sam 29:3, 2Sam 10:3, Esther 1:3, Esther 1:14, Psa 68:31, Psa 83:11, Isa 19:11, Isa 23:8, Isa 49:7, Jer 25:19, Jer 38:18, Eze 26:16, Eze 27:21, Dan 3:3, Mat 20:25, 1Co 2:6, plus many other verses). Princes typically refer to the sons of rulers. Princes were set over different provinces.
Esther 1:14 And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven Princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king’s face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;)
So Magog was the son of Japheth, king of today’s
Turkey. Magog and his brothers ruled over different provinces in the
land we call Turkey today. Magog was the chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal.
In other words, Magog was the most prominent Prince amongst his
brothers. Remember that Meshech and Tubal settled in today’s Turkey. In
prophetic terms Magog is a primary leader of Turkey.
