Turkey has retaken Al-Bab, Syria from ISIS

Al-Bab is the doorway to the Kurdish controlled northwestern region of Syria.

Turkey along with foreign Al-Qaeda rebels known as the Free Syrian Army have been fighting to retake the northwestern city of Al-Bab from ISIS since December 2016. Al-Bab is just thirty miles from Tell-Rifaat. Tell-Rifaat is called Arpad in Jeremiah 49:23. According to Jeremiah, after Tell-Rifaat hears about a coming invasion then the residents of Damascus will flee and Damascus will be destroyed.

Jeremiah 49:23 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.

Turkey has taken Al-Bab. Next they promise to continue fighting the Kurds in Syria. Tell-Rifaat is a Kurdish held town. Turkey has already begun shelling Tell-Rifaat. There has also been speculation that Turkey could target nearby Manbij. Manbij is another Kurdish held town.

There has also been a great amount of debate about whether Turkey will attack Raqqa, Syria. Raqqa is the ISIS headquarters in Syria. My Opinion is that Turkey has very little interest in eliminating ISIS in Syria or Iraq. Turkey is a majority Sunni Muslim nation. The Sunni Turks prefer to support the Sunni Al-Qaeda ISIS group. Even though Turkey has removed ISIS from Al-Bab, they have allowed most of them to escape to nearby towns. The Arabic name “Al-Bab” means the door. Al-Bab is the doorway to the Kurdish controlled northwestern region of Syria.

Jeremiah says that after Hamah and Tell Rifaat in northwestern Syria hear about a coming invasion then Damascus will be destroyed!
