Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan Will Slide Into Arab Leadership,
Once The Current UN International Stage Play Curtain Drops,
A Long Period (“Several Months”) OF PA Unrest WILL Follow,
And Israel’s End Time Islamic Foes will unify their Positions,
As International World Position hardens against the Jews!
PA goal has never been statehood, but to wipe out Jews
And That Goal Will Not Change Until Armageddon Occurs
3 & ½ years after war likely to begin twixt 2013 & 2015.
FOUR Current Events Excerpts FOLLOW The Scriptures

Zechariah 14:1,2 – Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. [2] For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
The Jews will not be cut off from the city forever in that they will return 3 & ½ years later. A remnant of 1/3 of the Jews will flee to the Negev Wilderness and will be “left therein” Israel for 1260 days (3 & ½ Prophetic Years). God shall protect them in the Negev during that time by a truce. God will then fight for them at Armageddon, and return them triumphantly to Jerusalem. God will lead Israel to drive all the way to the Euphrates to claim the land he promised to Abraham through Isaac and Jacob.
Zechariah 13:8 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Zechariah 14:3 – Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zechariah 13:9 – And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Micah 5:5-9 – And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. [6] And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
[7] And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the Lord, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men. [8] And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. [9] Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off. (See Whole Numbered Archive Prophecy Updates 62 to 69)
Genesis 15:18 – In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
Ezekiel 47:17 – And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north
northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
Ezekiel 47:19 – And the south side
southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.

Erdogan’s victory lap: Turkish domestic politics after the uprisings
Posted on Thursday, September 22nd, 2011 at 8:32 am
By Steven A.
Cook, Author of “The Struggle for Egypt”
Steven A. Cook is the Hasib J. Sabbagh Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. A leading expert on Arab and Turkish politics, he is author of The Struggle for Egypt: From Nasser to Tahrir Square.
This article appears courtesy of Foreign Affairs.
As Cairo’s citizens drove along the Autostrad [last] week, they were greeted with four enormous billboards featuring pictures of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. With Turkish and Egyptian flags, the signs bore the message, “With United Hands for the Future.” Erdogan’s visit marks a bold development in Turkey’s leadership in the region. The hero’s welcome he received at the airport reinforced the popular perception: Turkey is a positive force, uniquely positioned to guide the Middle East’s ongoing transformation.
By many measures, Erdogan’s Turkey appears to have much to offer Egypt (and Tunisia and Libya, which he visited later in the week). His Justice and Development Party (AKP) is deeply attractive to both Islamist and liberal Arabs. For Islamists, it provides a lesson on how to overcome barriers to political participation and remake a once-hostile public arena.
For liberals, it demonstrates that even a party of religion can embrace and advance liberal principles.
The AKP thus resolves one of the Muslim world’s central political problems: Citizens are too often forced to choose between the authoritarianism
of prevailing regimes and the potential theocracy of Islamists that might replace them.
Egyptian, Tunisian, or Libyan versions of the AKP could give citizens a way to overcome the second half of this dilemma. To be sure, Egypt’ s Mu
slim Brotherhood was initially wary of the AKP, regarding it as too liberal and nationalist. But it warmed up to the party after Erdogan called on former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to leave office — and did so much earlier than most other leaders.
Now, some of the Brotherhood’s offshoots — for example the Egyptian Current Party, which is made up of activists in their twenties and thirties — have explicitly stated that they want to emulate AKP.
And Abdel Monem Aboul Futouh, the former Brotherhood stalwart and presidential candidate, has called himself the “Egyptian Erdogan.”
Beyond the deeply appealing worldview of its ruling party, Turkey could assist the new Middle East on a more practical level.
Washington is broke, distracted with the coming presidential campaign, and overloaded with crises and potential crises. Europe is as burdened with debt as the United States and has been unable to shape events in the region since Paris and London abandoned their colonies and protectorates there in the 1960s and early 1970s.
But Turkey, with its rapid economic growth and entrepreneurial spirit, could provide Egyptians, Tunisians, and Libyans what they want and need the most — investment. The Persian Gulf states have committed billions to Egypt, but only a small amount has made its way to the Ministry of Finance. Moreover, Egyptians are wary of the “soft conditionality” of Saudi, Qatari, and Emirati aid. Turks are presumed to invest for profit alone.
Begin Three Excerpts from the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs/Daily Alert

Excerpt 1 – UK Telegraph
Palestinians Prepared to Delay Statehood Bid by “Several Months”
Adrian Blomfield and Alex Spillius
Palestinian officials on Wednesday signaled a willingness to delay a UN Security Council vote on their bid for statehood by “several months,” as President Obama publicly rejected their plans. Under a deal still being thrashed out on Wednesday, PA President Abbas would still launch his bid for full UN membership on Friday, but would not seek to expedite a debate at the Security Council, where the U.S. has threatened to wield its veto.
“The important thing for us is to submit our application as planned,” a senior Palestinian official said. “After that, we are prepared to be reasonable. We understand that things can take time. If the process is going to take some months, we are happy to let things take their course.” Palestinian officials said they were unlikely to raise objections to a compromise being advanced by the Middle East Quartet that would postpone the debate but grant the PA enhanced observer status. (Telegraph-UK)
Excerpt 2 – UK Financial Times
The Perils of the Palestinians’ Big Moment at the UN
Brig.-Gen. (ret.) Michael Herzog
A UN resolution endorsing maximalist Palestinian positions on the core issues, such as on borders and refugees, could close the door on negotiations for a long time. The Palestinians will find it hard to compromise on such internationally endorsed positions and Israelis will find it hard to negotiate under one-sided terms of reference which predetermine the final agreement.
Once the international community recognizes Palestinian statehood, UN-affiliated bodies such as the International Criminal Court (ICC) can decide it has jurisdiction over the Palestinian request, filed in 2009, to investigate Israeli “war crimes.” This will open the door to countless attempts to bring politically motivated charges against Israel. Such legal confrontations will provide a constant distraction from the attempt to restart the peace process. The writer, an international fellow of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, served as a key participant in nearly every Arab-Israeli peace negotiation between 1993 and 2010.

Excerpt 3 – Boston Globe
Palestinians Refused Statehood in the Past Because It’s Not Their Real Goal
Jeff Jacoby
Were Palestinian statehood Abbas’ real goal, he could have delivered it to his people three years ago. In 2008, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert proposed the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state on territory equal (after land swaps) to 100% of the West B ank
and Gaza, with free passage between the two plus a capital in the Arab section of Jerusalem. Yet Abbas turned down the Israeli offer. And he has refused ever since even to engage in negotiations.
For the better part of a century, Arab leaders of Palestine have consistently said no when presented with the chance to build a state of their own – in 1937, 1947, 1967 and 2000. There is no shortage of stateless peoples yearning for a homeland – Kurds or Tamils or Tibetans – whose longstanding quests for a nation-state the world ignores. They must be baffled by the Palestinians’ refusal to take yes for an answer. (Boston Globe)
