Ann Graham Lotz: U.S. Pull-Out From Syria Could Lead To Ezekiel 38

Anne Graham Lotz: Trump Removing Troops from Syria Could Lead to 'Last of the Last Days'

Anne Graham Lotz, often called "the best preacher in the family" by her late father Rev. Billy Graham, said that President Donald Trump’s decision to pull troops from Syria could be part of a divine plan that could herald "the last of the Last Days."

It was then that Lotz brought up Ezekiel 38 and its prophesy about a still-pending battle.

“There is a war that is predicted, that has never happened,” she said. “When Gog, the prince of Magog—who some people believe is Putin in Russia—they come down from the north...

“Ezekiel 38 says, ‘God has done it,’ because He’s bringing them against Jerusalem because He is going to judge them and He’s going to destroy them.” 

Lotz then offered up a possible scenario for the recent developments in Syria.

“So I wondered, did God move Trump to move Americans out of the way, freeing up Russia to come down like the Bible says they will?” she posed.

"Then a friend who is in the news business sent me a picture of our American base in northern Syria that, the day after we left, was filled with Russian troops and they had moved into our base. They are now in northern Syria. So I’m just wondering if it’s like a chessboard and if the pieces are being moved to set up maybe the last of the Last Days.”

In the midst of this uncertainty, Lotz went on to challenge viewers to intercede on behalf of Israel, especially given the political turmoil as the Jewish state struggles to form a coalition government in order to avoid a potential third election this year.

“So it's a very critical, strategic time for the nation of Israel, and I believe God's Word when it says that He blesses those who bless Israel and bless His people. So we can bless them through our prayers for them. Just follow the news. Pray for the leadership. Pray for Israel."
