MARY:
My dear children of Istanbul,
I am with you at this time, seeking to guide you toward a life that gives glory to God and interceding before my Son, Jesus, for your protection from the very troubles your people have faced in days of old.
Children of Istanbul, in the future, many of your country's hidden treasures will be uncovered and explored. Your neyghborhoods may face upheaval, and some areas may come under the threat of military forces from neyghboring lands.
Your civilisation is ancient and holds a wealth of history and culture.
Guard your hearts, dear children, and remain steadfast in faith.
Do not delay in turning to God Almighty, for your soil may tremble with greater force, and many trials may come upon you.
If you do not turn to God in time, your hearts may be unprepared for the difficulties ahead.
God Almighty, your Heavenly Father, desires to be your dearest Father. He loves you, dear children, and desires to protect you from the evil that may come upon you.
Do not be deceived by the fears and confusion surrounding the ancient prophecies of Gog and Magog, nor by those who misuse these teachings to lead souls into darkness and away from God Almighty.
In days of old, some believed that Gog and Magog represented certain nations and peoples, even those who lived in the lands of your ancestors.
Do not allow fear, false teachings, or the deceptions of the evil one to turn your hearts away from the truth.
Guard your hearts, dear children, and do not follow the ways of evil or the lures of ancient beliefs that may lead you away from God Almighty.
Come to my Son, Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
My Son desires to lead you toward the fullness of truth, for the truth shall set you free.
Return to God Almighty, dear children, and seek His mercy.
Pray for one another, live in peace, and do not lose hope in times of trouble.
I embrace you with my motherly love and intercede for you before my Son, Jesus Christ.
NOTE: (Biblical and Historical Understanding of Gog and Magog)
Biblical References: Genesis 10:2; Ezekiel 38–39; Revelation 20:7–10.
In the Old Testament, Magog is mentioned among the descendants of Japheth, son of Noah (Genesis 10:2). In Ezekiel 38–39, Gog is portrayed as a powerful ruler from the land of Magog who leads armies against God's people.
In the New Testament (Revelation 20:7–10), Gog and Magog symbolise the nations deceived by Satan and gathered in rebellion against God.
Historical Connection: Some biblical scholars associate the name Gog with Gyges, an ancient king of Lydia, a kingdom located in what is now western Turkey. This connection remains a scholarly interpretation, not an established historical identification.
Catholic Understanding: Gog and Magog represent forces opposed to God, ultimately defeated by His divine power.
