EARTH WATCH : AEGEAN SEA TENSIONS
(10) ’”The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. (11) But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.” (Psalms 33:10-11, NIV)
This thought was given to me on the morning of the 11th February 2022. I believe it is a serious word as the world is experiencing strategic political instability and uncertainty across its many fractious and fragile regions. The tensions surfacing on the global arena gives rise to inevitable social problems. Famine and homelessness, resulting from the lack of access to resources is undoubtedly a consequence of regional skirmishes and political unrests. Those with a spiritual understanding will know that any phenomenal move of God, particularly for this end time will disturb the opposing spiritual realm to counter an attack. The impending move of Russia against the Ukraine smacks of a backlash against the momentous force of the Kingdom of righteousness to accomplish the will of God in the earth.
“For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.” (Romans 8:19, ESV). Times and seasons are in the hands of a loving Father and the season has now come for the people to have peace and not war. There will be rest from the last season of sorrow and deaths.
Regional disturbances in the earth are intended to deflect from what God is doing, to pour out His Spirit on all flesh in a New Pentecost. Do not be perplexed or overly anxious because God is in control of the affairs of humankind. There can be no move of evil intent without the Lord permitting it. I believe the rumblings and threats of war may continue, but the talk of World War 3 is by far a premature outlook.
There will be a phenomenal move of God for restoration and healing in our world before the demonic shift into the time-of-the-end, before the Rapture. Any great move of God will always elicit fierce and outrageous responses from the realm of evil as the end time harvest of souls comes in. God has been jealously watching over our night of a metaphoric departure ‘out of Egypt’. We are in effect departing from an old, religious, archaic Order, too rigid to accommodate the next Spirit-move of God. A New Order of the Spirit-overflow will now take place, in a New Pentecost season. It will be epic and awesome to bring the hostile nations to their knees in fear and trembling.
Lausanne Treaty
“saying, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.” (Revelation 1:11, BSB)
I wrote a little about the Lausanne Treaty in a vision-book entitled, ‘The Forgotten Christians Of Asia Minor’. It was written in context to what I have been fed in my spirit of the christian heritage of the Alevi people. The reference made to the Lausanne Treaty provided a brief history of regional instability in the Mediterranean regions. In light of a prophetic word given to me concerning Turkey’s Alevi community, I would ask that you keep a watch on military volatility in the Aegean Islands’ region.
The Greek Islands and sections along the beautiful Aegean coastlines belies the long disputed history that exists between Greece and Turkey. The tensions occurring in the Mediterranean’s Aegean regions remains relatively serious when taking into account the 1923 Lausanne Treaty that will be coming to an end in 2023. Today, tensions are rising as skirmishes continues to flare up from time to time. Greece and Turkey have remained arch-enemies, fighting over the years for lands and nautical limits in the territorial waters of the Aegean Sea.
In 1923, the Ottoman period came to an end with the ending of World War 1. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the Turkish Reformist and Father of the Secular Republic of Turkey, acquired territories and borders during his Ottoman reign. Many of these occupied territories were relinquished under the Lausanne Treaty. The Allies of nations drew up a geo-political agreement and it was adopted to demarcate the boundaries for peace between these two hostile nations.. The 100 year old Lausanne Treaty was ratified to protect the agreed interests of each nation, and it comes to an end in 2023. This end date in 2023 is by far a strategic timing, and I am sure it will usher in further unrests as Allies will seek to bring an agreeable solution to the region. Greece and Turkey will no doubt be positioning themselves for the ending of this Agreement, hence why there has been a growing unrest in the region for territorial dominance.
By virtue of the word given to me in the winter of 2012, “I want you to establish it in a conference in the place of the 7-fold churches”, it is without doubt that the global unrests over borders and territories, even between Russia and Ukraine, are indicative of the next move of God being imminent. Turkey, as a nation is biblically set to feature in the end time move of God, to accommodate His plans to release the Alevi people and many others into their long awaited spiritual heritage. They are a group that have historically remained isolated from the global Body of Christ. It is an intentional positioning by God for His glory. Uniquely, they act as a collective group, a pretext to move as one into the Kingdom of God.
