Is this man, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the Antichrist, who will demand worship in the Temple of God? Heck, Erdoğan is <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2016/03/15/turkeys-erdogan-being-worshipped-again-as-god-while-prophecy-lines-up-russia-allies-with-israel-and-distances-from-iran-as-ezekiel-38-predicted/">already accepting to be worshipped</a>. But people still insist asking me: is he the Antichrist?</p><p>Well, what we do know is that Turkey will produce the Antichrist. If you object, please answer the Jesus-style questions that no biblical scholar can answer, unless of course, they admit Turkey is the land of Antichrist. If you are up to it, try answering this:</p><blockquote><p>What other spot on earth matches Turkey as the land of Antichrist, especially that Erdogan and Turkey are "of the land of Magog"? What other man qualifies today but Erdogan to be "chief prince of <em>Meshech</em> and <em>Tubal"</em> (Ezekiel 38:3) "sits in Pergamum," the "seat of satan" (Revelation 2:12) qualifies as "king of the north" (Daniel 11:40) while has a "threat from the north" of him (Daniel 11:44) which is Russia, represents the landmass of ancient Greece, where the only verse in the whole of scripture that pin-point where Christ marches towards is the direction for the north (Zechariah 9:14): "And the Lord God shall <span style="text-decoration: underline;">be seen over them</span>, and his dart shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord God will sound the trumpet, and go in the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">whirlwind of the south</span>"?</p></blockquote><p>No historian or geographer can find any other spot on earth, that could match all these requirements, unless they pin-point Turkey. No historian or biblical expert can pin-point any other "beast" (threat to Christendom) greater than the Ottoman Turks. Try picking Russia and Putin (since you argue that Meshech is Moscow) but north of Russia is an ocean and Russia is not Pergamum. Try picking Rome. While Rome has Germany to its north (that could be a threat from the north) but Rome is not Pergamum and neither is it "chief prince of Meshech and Tubal". No matter what you jimmy-rig, only Turkey qualifies. No matter how you describe the Antichrist, from the figment of your imagination; nothing matches unless all the verses; <em>every single verse</em> fits one man and one geography, perfectly.</p><p><strong>BUT HOW CAN ERDOGAN BE ANTICHRIST IF HE DOES NO MIRACLES?</strong><br />Is Erdogan the Antichrist? We are to wait and see. But I do get some challenges. The Antichrist is said to be a charismatic politician, a religious figure and a Houdini type who does 'signs and wonders' 'a miracle worker' <em>all in one</em>. How then does Erdogan qualify to be the "<em>Houdini of Houdinis?"</em></p><p>Answer: First of all, Antichrist does not do genuine miracles. His "<em>working miracles</em>" as Paul tells us are "<em>lying wonders</em>" (2 Thessalonians 2:9) where only his followers believe such miracles. Secondly, he does not necessarily do these "lying wonders" himself; he does them via "<em>three unclean spirits like frogs</em>" (Apocalypse 16:14). Thirdly, these 'phony performances' are strictly done to "<em>muster the world for war at Armageddon"</em>. These are not a circus Houdini style magical performances, but are "three ministers," sent out towards three directions, calling the Muslim world to come to battle at Armageddon. All three points I just made here are exactly what the context says:</p><blockquote><p>"And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great <span style="text-decoration: underline;">river Euphrates</span>; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">kings of the east</span> might be prepared. And I saw <span style="text-decoration: underline;">three unclean spirits</span> like <span style="text-decoration: underline;">frogs</span> come <span style="text-decoration: underline;">out of the mouth of the dragon</span>, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">out of the mouth of the beast</span>, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">out of the mouth of the false prophet</span>. For they are the spirits of devils, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">working miracles</span>, which <span style="text-decoration: underline;">go forth unto the kings of the earth</span> and of the whole world, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">to gather them to the battle</span> of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he [the beast] <span style="text-decoration: underline;">gathered them together</span> into a place called in the Hebrew tongue <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Armageddon</span>. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">great voice out of the temple of heaven</span>, from the throne, saying, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">It is done</span>. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">great earthquake</span>, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so <span style="text-decoration: underline;">mighty an earthquake</span>, and so <span style="text-decoration: underline;">great</span>. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">great Babylon</span> came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath." (Rev. 16:13, 14)</p></blockquote><p>So here is the text and context; does the Antichrist here perform these 'fake miracles' himself? <em>No.</em></p><p>He performs these "lying wonders" through his "three unclean spirits like frogs". It is these "three unclean spirits" that do the work on his behalf as scripture clearly states. There goes out the window the circus Antichrist-Houdini. Also, these miracles are "lying wonders" (not genuine miracles) that are done to <em>strictly call the nations for warfare against Israel at "Armageddon"</em>. All three points (1) lying wonders are (2) performed by three religious personalities (3) to strictly invite the Antichrist nations to come to war.</p><p>When it comes to prophecy, most formulate a figment of their own imagination. The figment then becomes the driving mold and not the scripture.</p><p>Antichrist sends out three religious figures towards three directions which can be constructed from scripture. From the east, one spirit calls the "two hundred million man army" (Rev 16:12). They come all the way from Japan, Indonesia, Uguristan, Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq. From the "north" a second spirit brings in Turkey, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan Turkmenistan (Magog, Gomer and Beth Togarma). From the south-west another spirit musters Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and Mauritania (Cush and Phut).</p><p>All these converge towards Armageddon in the Golan Heights area. In other parts of scripture we have the "eagles" from the West "ships of Chittim" (Christendom) including the threat to Antichrist in Daniel 11:44 from the North (Russia is north of Turkey). These are led by "seven Shepherds" and "eight principled men" (Micah 5).</p><p><strong>ALWAYS LOOK FOR WHERE GOD REVERSES THE CLOCK</strong><br />In that event, even God's clock rewinds to the same time and to the same place where Christ was crucified. This event even includes the same peoples who invaded Jerusalem's temple. Antichrist in Revelation persecutes the Church (Christ's Body), which parallels Christ's suffering on the Cross. Notice Revelation 16:17 "there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>It is done</em></span>".</p><p>Christ on the cross said "it is finished".</p><p>Then "there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">great earthquake</span>" just as it was when Christ was crucified and on the same spot.</p><p>Then "came a great voice out of the temple of heaven". God's clock reverses to when Christ gained His <em>First</em> victory against the devil through His crucifixion and now His <em>Second</em> victory against the devil at Armageddon.</p><p>Even the very same exact peoples who came against His temple: Legion X (tenth legion) of the Romans comes again comprising ten kings under Antichrist. Christ even describes these peoples depicted in His Crucifixion: “Many bulls have surrounded Me; Strong <span style="text-decoration: underline;">bulls of Bashan</span> have encircled Me” (Psalm 22:12), who will be the same peoples as Legion X that converged on Jerusalem comprised of the same nationalities (Syrian, Turks, Arabs) and we find Christ combating the “fatlings of Bashan” in Ezekiel 39:18.</p><p>Bashan points to either Syria or Bashan in the Caucasus in the southern regions of Russia. This time around, it is Christ's fury on His face where "the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the air, and the beasts of the field, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the ground, and all men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at <span style="text-decoration: underline;">my presence</span>" (Ezekiel 38:20). Christ is present there.</p><p>This is Jerusalem's punishment. It lives in grave sin. The clock turns backwards revealing even the same pagan Roman style debauchery where Jerusalem is called "Sodom and Egypt" for it too (like Pharaoh) has become a persecutor of the saints and "Sodom" just as you see us being persecuted for exposing homosexuality. Today even Israel wants nothing to do with anyone who is anti-sodomy. Only the Christians who withstand Sodom will be redeemed. The clock even turns to when Lot (the church) is rescued while the traitors (Lot's wife) who sympathize with Sodom are cursed. God honors only the ones who <em>complete</em> (not bail out) the marathon; the five virgins who were "not of this world".</p><p><strong>ALWAYS UNDERSTAND ANCIENT ALLEGORY</strong><br />So what are these fake miracles? In Apocalypse 13:13 it says: "And he [the beast] did great signs, so that he made also fire to come down from heaven unto the earth in the sight of men". But this is speaking of a "beast with two horns" (v.11). If this is literal "fire coming down from heaven" are we to also expect that this "fire" performance is done by a Houdini looking like "a lamb" with literal "two horns"?</p><p>Modern people do not understand how the ancients tell a story in parable format. John speaks in allegory, vision, sort of a dream, a piece of wisdom. He tells it in hints as a story of what the church has to endure throughout the ages after John departs. This is a theme that runs all the way through the end of the Apocalypse.</p><div id="attachment_106736" style="width: 630px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/gerung-beast-earth.jpg"><img alt="gerung-beast-earth" class="wp-image-106736" height="696" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/gerung-beast-earth-267x300.jpg" width="620" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Photo of Antichrist: from the One Thousand And One Idiots Guide To Prophetic Interpretations</p></div><div id="attachment_106739" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/le-copy.jpg"><img alt="le-copy" class="wp-image-106739" height="233" sizes="(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/le-copy-300x111.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/le-copy-300x111.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/le-copy-768x284.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/le-copy-1024x378.jpg 1024w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/le-copy.jpg 1224w" width="630" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Now seriously, which of the two portraits that more resemble the Antichrist? The portrait provided by the idiot who made the photo on the left? Or the portrait made by the possible idiot who made the photo on the right?</p></div><p>Never interpret Revelation word for word. Listen to it like a story:</p><blockquote><p>"And I saw one of his heads as it were slain to death: and his death's wound was healed. And all the earth was in admiration after the beast. And they adored the dragon, which gave power to the beast: and they adored the beast, saying: Who is like to the beast? and who shall <span style="text-decoration: underline;">be able to fight with him</span>?"</p><p>“He was given power to give <span style="text-decoration: underline;">breath to the image</span> of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the first beast</span>, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed”?</p></blockquote><p>John is dispensing prophecy in story telling format. Imagine being children and your father speaks of a beast coming after you. A beast is a threat. The obvious interpretation is that the prior beast kingdom which threatened and persecuted the children of God was wounded. John simply tells us, that this same beast is coming back to life again to hunt down God's children once more.</p><p>So figure out the first beast, and you will figure out the second beast, including the very peoples involved.</p><p>This is simply a revival of a wounded kingdom—not an individual. After Rome, which was eventually christianized, the greatest persecutor of the Church was none other than the Muslim Ottoman Empire, which will revive again as the eighth head being a replica of the seventh. John was not only referring to the time of the end, but to the seventh kingdom which will re-arise as the eighth, in the end (Revelation 17:10-11). It is crucial to keep in mind that Prophecy was intended for the whole of Church history and not just the end-days. Revelation 9 for example was commonly interpreted to be the Ottoman.</p><p><strong>WHY ARE SO MANY CONFUSED (THERE ARE ALWAYS TWO CAMPS)</strong><br />There are always two camps. Even the confused are two camps. In modern times many Catholics study prophecy exclusively from seers, while they ignore scripture; while another camp, the Evangelicals, these study prophecy from scripture <em>alone</em> without the fathers. I happen to have delved in all camps: Muslim, Protestant and now Catholic. What can I say. The Lord works in mysterious ways.</p><p>Even the errors repeat twice. Israel missed Messiah's first coming and when Christ comes again, we have five unworthy virgins missing the wedding. Everything repeats. Even during Israel, one camp had Messiah as the "suffering Messiah" (Messiah son of Yousef) while the other camp had the Messiah Who will "defeat Rome" and will be "King Messiah" (Messiah son of David).</p><p>Then Messiah showed up. And He was <em>one</em> Messiah coming twice.</p><p>So where the Rabbis wrong? No. It was the duty of each individual faithful to seek with all their strength in putting the two puzzles together. Both camps in ancient Israel were correct. Messiah will be a "suffering Messiah" and will also defeat pagan Rome by converting it later through His seed. What people lacked was the patience of Job.</p><p>Similarly, we also have the same beast coming twice; the "first beast" comes out of the sea to conquer one half of Christendom in Constantinople. Then that same beast gets a death wound and is buried in the earth to later come back out of the earth as the "second beast" to conquer the other half of Christendom: Rome.</p><p>When I was Muslim we used to say: "first we conquer Constantinople and then we will conquer Rome". The <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2016/04/03/the-most-fascinating-bible-prophecy-reveals-the-muslim-caliphate-will-revive-and-invade-europe-but-god-intervenes-with-plagues-and-swarming-locusts-and-defeats-them/">Islamic threat  comprises the two beasts</a> and the day when I studied scripture (as Muslim) it all came together.</p><p>The prophecy is for the whole of church history. Yet you still have people trying to find both beasts coming at once in the end times. Why? Its because the first beast (the Ottoman Turks) do not match the Vatican whom they insist is the "first beast".</p><p>There is always two sides with one side that hates the other; a Cain and an Abel. One loves an elaborate service to God. So he (Abel) sets an animal sacrifice with fire and all, where the smoke pleases God's nostrils. The other (Cain) simply offers fruit. Nothing changes. Today we have one side who goes elaborate and burns incense to please God's nostrils. The other side says that God has no nostrils so he offers grape juice.</p><p>So which side is right and which side is wrong? The answer to this is very simple. Just google and see which side hates the other and mouths off the most. Always remember, Cain hated Abel. Find the hate and you found Cain. Find the quite one who does not even consider the hatred and you found your Abel.</p><div id="attachment_106763" style="width: 593px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/1346-81b52273-5692-46d4-95da-127759239230.jpg"><img alt="1346-81b52273-5692-46d4-95da-127759239230" class="wp-image-106763" height="272" sizes="(max-width: 583px) 100vw, 583px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/1346-81b52273-5692-46d4-95da-127759239230-300x140.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/1346-81b52273-5692-46d4-95da-127759239230-300x140.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/1346-81b52273-5692-46d4-95da-127759239230-768x357.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/1346-81b52273-5692-46d4-95da-127759239230.jpg 860w" width="583" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Holy Smokes. Abel loves to dress up for the King's Son's wedding and loves Holy Smokes. He is always accused of nearly setting the church on fire. Cain on the other hand is known by his gluten free and alcohol free sensitivities by banning whole wheat Communion including all the Holy Smokes, since, Cain says "it causes cancer". It will matter little to Cain if Antichrist bans gluten, the alcohol, and all the smoking that goes with it, while Abel prefers to die before he gives up his 2000 year old habit since old habits never die.</p></div><p>Christ always defies the interpreters who were limited. But only the meek were able to see it. Some had a piece of the puzzle, while others had the other piece, just as it is with Antichrist where John has one piece while Daniel has the other piece. The wise examines both pieces. The wise consider two comings, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2016/04/03/the-most-fascinating-bible-prophecy-reveals-the-muslim-caliphate-will-revive-and-invade-europe-but-god-intervenes-with-plagues-and-swarming-locusts-and-defeats-them/">two beasts (the first out of the sea and the second out of the earth where the first was buried).</a></p><p>The problem is that whenever someone puts the puzzle together, the masses oust him out, since this new puzzle builder does not conform to either side of the two camps, yet he does, by <em>putting both camps together. </em>Yet the two camps refuse to unite. This, the puzzle builder has no control of since one camp has to accept Holy Smokes.</p><p>It is that new "John the Baptist type" who all camps reject. This is why he is a voice that "cries in the wilderness" and he is not found in the hauls of the churches. People must go out of their way to meet him and listen to his instruction crying "prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.".</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/1SfZJQ7cXV4?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p>

It is a sign of the times that today the Muslims do not even have to fight because Christians are giving their churches away to the Muslim, such as in this case as one of the oldest and historic Christian Churches in Bridgeport, CT is giving away its Church to a Muslim group:</p><blockquote><p>One of the oldest Christian congregations in this community said it would sell its historic church to a regional Islamic center.</p><p>The United Congregational Church said Monday it plans to sell its brick Georgian-Revival style church, built in the 1920s, to the Bridgeport Islamic Cultural Center for $1 million.</p><p>The two groups will also form a partnership to provide community programs including soup kitchen and a homeless shelter from the site of the current church.</p><p>In recent years, more Muslim communities across the U.S. have begun to engage in the types of fundraisers and social-service projects that Christian congregations and Jewish synagogues often host or organize, said David Grafton, professor of Islamic studies and Christian-Muslim relations at<strong> Hartford Seminary in Hartford, Conn</strong>.</p><p>“As the national landscape has become much more suspicious of Muslims, and as Islamophobia has become more common, Muslim communities have consciously engaged in the process to normalize—or become part of the religious landscape of organizing into voluntary associations that form the bedrock of American civil and religious life,” he said.</p><p>The lineage of the United Congregational Church dates back to colonial days. It was first established in 1695 and called the Ecclesiastical Society of Stratfield. It later merged in 1916 with another congregation to form the United Congregational Church. Rev. Sara Smith said the Bridgeport church had 3,000 members when the main structure was built, but the numbers have now dwindled to 300. She said it made financial sense for the congregation to look for a new home.</p><p>The United Congregational Church will be renting space in another part of Bridgeport till they find a new space to buy, Rev. Smith said. “We are not dying, we are just moving,” she said.</p><p>It has been a challenge for Muslim organizations to find real estate for mosques or other religious uses since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and that challenge has become more difficult in recent years, said Reza Mansoor, president of the Islamic Association of Greater Hartford.</p><p>“The Muslim community has had to reach out to places of worship” to buy their properties in Connecticut towns and cities like East Hartford, Avon and New London,” Dr. Mansoor said.</p><p>Ahmed Ebrahim, the leader of the Bridgeport Islamic Cultural Center, said his organization bought the church because it had the space needed for prayers and was zoned for religious use. About 1,000 families in the greater Bridgeport region are expected to use the mosque. “It’s a perfect fit for our needs,” Dr. Ebrahim said.</p><p>The main sanctuary will be used as a prayer space, Dr. Ebrahim said. The congregation from the United Congregational Church will help prepare the space by removing a cross from the altar and modifying the stained-glass windows in the church.</p><p>Ellen Carter from Fairfield, Conn., says her family has been a member of the church for 11 generations.</p><p>“It’s sad” we are moving locations, Ms. Carter said. “On the other hand, it’s necessary, and we are happy it’s again going to be used as a house of worship.”</p><p>The closing of the sale is scheduled for May 1. The church was designed by Allen & Collens, the architectural firm that also designed the Cloisters Museum in Manhattan and the Central Presbyterian Church in Manhattan.

After years of heresy and reducing themselves to little more than an elevated platform for extreme leftist politics, like all heresies, they are running out of people to replace, and they will disappear.</p><p>But sell the church building to the Muslims?</p><p>Actually, <span style="text-decoration: underline">I expected this to happen</span>, and I expect to see this with more congregationalist churches. All of the Church denominations have done this in our times to some extent, but the congregationalists will do more.</p><p>Why do I say this?</p><p>Notice how I highlighted a place called <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.hartsem.edu/">Hartford Seminary</a>.</p><p><strong>I went to Hartford Seminary</strong>. I received my M.A. in Islamic Studies and Christian-Muslim relations from them in 2010. Hartford Seminary used to be a seminary for training Congregational (United Church of Christ) ministers. In 1893, the Scotch Calvinist professor of Oriental Studies and missionary, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Black_MacDonald">Duncan Black Macdonald</a>, came to Hartford and convinced the seminary to set up a school devoted to missionary work to Muslims in the Middle East. His vision quickly grew into what at the time was the largest Protestant school for missions to the Muslim world in the USA. Their graduates became leading experts in Islamic studies such as the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Marinus_Zwemer">Rev. Samuel Marinus Zwemer</a>, and <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://muhammadanism.org/Books/default.htm">their works are still available to read today</a>. Many students went to the Middle East and preached to Muslims. Some of the students were even martyred and the plaques commemorating their martyrdoms dot the walls of the Hartford Seminary library (although they are now tarnished and handing on the walls in the basement).</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/zwemer.jpg"><img alt="zwemer" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-106729" height="300" sizes="(max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/zwemer-270x300.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/zwemer-270x300.jpg 270w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/zwemer.jpg 348w" width="270" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">Rev. Samuel M. Zwemer. Although a Calvinist, Rev. Zwemer had an open and great respect for all Christians, especially the Catholics and the Orthodox, and he envisioned Christians working together to defeat Islam and Christianize the Muslims.</p><p>A major change happened around 1950, and this was a group of missionaries returned from the Middle East and they concluded that Muslims already "knew God" and therefore did not need to become Christians. Such a view is patently ridiculous as it is a declaration of apostasy, for as St. Paul notes, if Christ did not die for our sins, then our faith is pointless. That said, I saw that many of the "Christians" among my classmates had a highly intellecutalized and secularized "faith" that was as arrogant towards the cross and sterile as a hospital room. Their Christianity is more of Arianism, for Jesus is a superman without acknowledging His divinity or kingship, Christianity is a social faith made to do social good for others, and the cardinal sin was not disobedience to God but offending a Muslim's personal feelings.</p><p>You might ask yourself how men can allow themselves to descend into intellectual darkness, but St. Paul discusses this in Romans 1. It happens, and if left unchecked, it will lead to apostasy and a return to the evils that Christ came to clear away.</p><p>I actually met one of the last living people from that group while I was a student. He was very, very old, and it is strange that looking into his face was to see one of those who began leading what was once a great institution down a path to perdition.</p><p>Given the cultural zeitgeist and the changes that would take place in the 1960s, Hartford Seminary began disbanding their missionary program until around 1975 when the seminary fully secularized. They still retained their Congregational affiliations and still trained ministers for their congregations, but the focus of Islamic Studies became one of "interfaith" relations. They sold off their beautiful old buildings to the University of Connecticut (now part of UCONN Law School) and build a hideous "cube" for their new campus, got rid of a large part of their collections from their missionaries, and completely re-made their image.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/hartfordseminary1.jpg"><img alt="hartfordseminary1" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-106710" height="200" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/hartfordseminary1-300x200.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/hartfordseminary1-300x200.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/hartfordseminary1-768x513.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/hartfordseminary1.jpg 1024w" width="300" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">Hartford Seminary main campus, or "The Cube"</p><p>During my time at Hartford Seminary, I witnessed yet another transition, and that was Hartford Seminary slowly moving from "interfaith" to "Islamic."</p><p>I enjoyed those years because I learned a lot, and I had some very interesting teachers. I experienced my first death threats from Muslim students from the Sunni Al-Fatah Islamic Institute of Syria while there. I had the experience of classes with several leading Muslim figures in contemporary Islam and experienced the unique distinction of, many times, being the only Christian in a class of all Muslims and (unspoken) intended for only Muslims. I could go on and on about my experiences.</p><p>One of those experiences, and one which I have never written about before, was about the "interfaith prayer room" at the Seminary:</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/hartsem1.jpg"><img alt="hartsem1" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-106636" height="180" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/hartsem1-300x180.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/hartsem1-300x180.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/hartsem1.jpg 600w" width="300" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/hartsem2.jpg"><img alt="hartsem2" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-106637" height="225" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/hartsem2-300x225.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/hartsem2-300x225.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/hartsem2.jpg 600w" width="300" /></a></p><p>First, notice how sterile the room is, and how a tiny and flimsy excuse for a cross is stuffed into a corner of the room, as thought it were a mere "thing" off to the side and in a corner.</p><p>Second, notice how the cross does not appear in the first photo but it does in the second. This is because that cross is moveable- it can be removed from its location and, as I remember from my experiences, <span style="text-decoration: underline">dumped onto the floor in a corner or under a pile of Muslim prayer rugs</span>. Tell me, if you believe that the cross is the symbol of salvation, would you put it under a doormat that not just other people but Muslims who hate the cross use to worship the false god Allah on?</p><p>Third, as I mentioned above, and you cannot see it from the angle here but if you were to turn around in the first photo 180 degrees you would find yourself veritably leaning (as I imagine the photographer was) against a <span style="text-decoration: underline">pile</span>- no exaggeration- of Moslem prayer rugs. That is because the "chapels" primary uses is as a mosque. Yes, they call it "interfaith", but really the only ones who actually use it for worship of any kind and five times a day are the Muslims.</p><p>I watch the news of my alma mater, and each year it takes a step closer to full Islamization. <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.hartsem.edu/macdonald-center/the-muslim-world-journal/">The Muslim World Journal</a>, started by Rev. Zwemer to convert Muslims to Christ, is now little more than a rag for Muslim sophistry run by the virulently anti-Christian convert to Islam Jean Michot (see bel0w). <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.hartsem.edu/macdonald-center/">The Duncan Black MacDonald Center for Islamic Studies</a> is basically controlled by the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.hartsem.edu/macdonald-center/islamic-chaplaincy/">Islamic Chaplaincy Program</a>. More Muslim scholars and students are brought in each year, and the understanding is that Hartford Seminary will become by its own conscious choice a Muslim majority school in only a matter of time. One can only wonder what they will do to the personal papers of Duncan Black MacDonald or his fellow students, which I had the pleasure of being able to study during my time at the Seminary.</p><p>The Islamization of Hartford Seminary must not be viewed as an isolated case, but as a future omen of Islamic Studies in American and really, global education, at least as far as the West is concerned. Hartford Seminary is a small school, but because of its historical presence in Islamic Studies its roots run deep in the academic system and are connected to many other schools including but not limited to Cambridge (UK), Emory, Exeter (UK), Georgetown, Harvard, and Yale Divinity School. Well-established and up-and-coming minds in Islamic Studies associate themselves with Islamic Studies, and many major Islamic groups and figures also have strong connections such as <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.icna.org/">ICNA</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.isna.net/">ISNA</a>, the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.iiit.org/">IIIT</a>, and the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/msanational/">MSA</a>.</p><p>Hartford Seminary is a leader in its field. However, once upon a time its goal was to lead men on the path of salvation through Christ. Now the Seminary is committed to lead men away from Christ and on the literal road to hell through promoting and ultimately, converting to Islam.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/michot-6-08.jpg"><img alt="michot-6-08" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-106730" height="283" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/michot-6-08.jpg" width="212" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahyah_Michot">Jean, a.k.a. "Yahya" Michot, one of my former professors at Hartford Seminary</a> and an emblem for what the Seminary has become. A brilliant man and one of, if not the top living expert on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Taymiyyah">Ibn Taymiyya</a>, he was kicked out of the university of Louvain in Belgium and later the university of Oxford for writing under the pen name "Nasreddin Lebatlier" in support of <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_the_monks_of_Tibhirine">the 1996 massacre of seven Trappist Catholic monks in Algeria</a> that served as the basis for the 2010 award winning  film <span style="text-decoration: underline"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Of_Gods_and_Men_(film)">Of Gods And Men</a></span> (see the trailer clip at the end of the article). Given his record (not to mention my experiences in his class, which are among the memorable ones from my time as a graduate student), it tells one something about the views that the Seminary is presenting to their students about Islam.</p><p>The great Catholic saints commented that Islam was the culmination of all Christian heresy, and heretical fits the Congregational Church at large, for Christ to them is little more than a social justice warrior for all of their own "ultra-liberal" causes they forcibly define to fit their own image and not God of the Bible. It really does not surprise me that the Congregational Church is selling one of its buildings to the Muslims to become a mosque, because from my experiences they are already well on the way to completing their heresy that began several centuries ago in England through formally converting to Islam.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/lgbtchurch2.jpg"><img alt="lgbtchurch2" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-106731" height="203" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/lgbtchurch2-300x203.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/lgbtchurch2-300x203.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/lgbtchurch2.jpg 640w" width="300" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">Outside a Congregational Church (UCC) in <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://cms.hucc.org/">Hillsborough, NC</a>. Indeed, heresy of the Puritans has finally come full circle, rejecting the Catholic Faith in favor of ultrapietism, then to outright paganism, and as it may be now, Islamization.</p><p>For most of Christian history, the Church building is as much a place of worship as it is a gift from the people to God. This is why among the Catholics and Orthodox no expense was spared on the Church buildings- because since God is all that we have, then God deserves the best that we have, all of the time and without exception. This important practice was blasphemed by the Protestant Revolutionaries, beginning in particular with Luther and then following with those of his ilk.</p><p><strong>Giving- not losing in the course of conflict and striving to get it back, but giving by choice- a Church to the Muslims is like making the altar into a toilet bowl and using pages of the Bible as toilet paper</strong>. I do not say this in a figurative, but in a literal way, for the entire Muslim religion is based upon the blasphemy of Christ's divinity. To give a sacred building used for such a sacred and holy place, where the priest would enter into the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to a religion so reprobate is to commit apostasy. That is why Christians fought so hard to win their Churches back from the Muslims, and why the Muslims were so intent on claiming possession very the church buildings to begin with.</p><p>This is a sign of the times that we live in. The apostasy will cross all Christian denominations and having began at the top is and will continue to trickle down to the laity. But as Christ Himself said, those who are faithful to the end will be saved, for we are living in a time of apostasy, where being a Christian becomes a choice and not an association.</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/nhQzn2gVGjQ?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p>

Major Christian Leader Gives Out This Message To All Christians In The West: 'Millions Of Christians Have Been Wiped Out By Muslims, Muslim Terrorists Are Working To Destroy Christians From The Face Of The Earth.'

<p>A Christian leader, the Rev. Patrick Augustine, Rector of Christ Episcopal Church, is warning the Christians of the West of how millions of Christians have been killed by Muslim terrorists, and how these killers want to destroy all Christians. According to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.christiansinpakistan.com/christianity-is-facing-extinction-from-its-biblical-homeland-says-a-pakistani-christian-minister/">one report:</a></p><blockquote><p>A Pakistani Christian Minister Reverend Patrick Augustine from La Crosse pastor strives to minister to the persecuted Christians. The Rev. Patrick Augustine, Rector of Christ Episcopal Church, has been actively engaged in serving the believers persecuted for their faith. A large portion of Reverend Patrick Augustine had been reaching out to the suffering – including Christians and non-Christians.</p><p>Reverend Augustine is keenly eager to bring relief to the hurting and distressed people across the globe. He has been striving to uplift the down trodden and impart hope and encouragement to them. “It’s not trendy or fashionable to talk about the persecuted church,” he said.</p><p>Reverend Augustine is keenly eager to bring relief to the hurting and distressed people across the globe. He has been striving to uplift the down trodden and impart hope and encouragement to them. “It’s not trendy or fashionable to talk about the persecuted church,” he said.</p><p>For a fact, Christians around the world are facing genocide and extinction from its Biblical homeland. Statistics revealed that almost one-half to two-thirds of Christians in the Middle East have either fled from their homeland or have been killed in the past century. Details are that in 1948, over and above 22 million Christians once lived in the Middle East.</p><p>It has been now an established fact that Christianity is obviously facing extinction from its Biblical homeland, Reverend Augustine said. As a result of the persecution, less than 500,000. In this regard, Hungary has become the first ever country to take an initiative to save the persecuted Christians and form a special department to deal with the humanitarian crisis generated by the Christian refugee crisis.</p><p>Reverend Augustine stated with deep sorrow that in the Sudan, over 2 million Christians have been killed, “but in the halls of Congress, western media or college campuses, there has been no hue and cry about the killing and crushing of human rights.”</p><p>He also mentioned the tragic incident when two suicide bombers hit Peshawar’s All Saints Church. The attackers detonated their explosive vests killing more than 200 and injuring above 600 congregants. Reverend Augustine recalled the time when after six months he had an opportunity to preach to the traumatized congregants of the All Saints.</p><p>Reverend Augustine’s congregation at Christ Episcopal, and First Free of Onalaska, joined hands to raise funds in order to procure medical treatment for the injured in the blast. The funds were also used to bring financial relief to the grief-stricken Christians. Reverend Augustine reiterated that he is scheduled to visit All Saints Church again next year.</p><p>Seeing and acknowledging the valuable services offered by Reverend Augustine, the Archbishop of Canterbury honored him with the Cross of St. Augustine award. Cross of St. Augustine is the highest honor of the Anglican Communion and awarded him with the nickname, the “Voice for the Voiceless.” “Christians living in areas of persecution often carry a cross,” said Reverend Augustine.</p></blockquote><p> </p>

He will fix the <em>Abomination</em> by first uniting an <em>Obama divided nation</em>. He can only do this by going somewhat against the wishes of warmongers and the loudmouths.</p><p>Therefore, we predict that the United States will shine. Unlike what Trump said during his campaigns, he reversed much of the rhetoric already and we predict that he will <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>not</em></span> deploy multidivisional forces to the region to 'combat ISIS'.</p><p>ISIS is pretty much waining. We predict that Trump will befriend the man whom he never mentioned once during his campaign: Erdogan.</p><p>Always remember, expectations shift to face reality.</p><p><strong>EURASIA THE  MEGA-CONTINENT "RISING FORCE"</strong><br />Eurasia is the mega-continent “rising force” which is attracting more and more nation-states to its sphere. The Russian view today is that “Eurasia” consists of the land lying between Europe and Asia proper; namely, those made up of Western and Central Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, part of Caucasus, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan.</p><p>But can Russia accomplish this dream? No. At Fatima, Russia was declared to break up and turn more towards Christianity (and I already know some disagree with me on this). That, plus a humpty-dumpty dream never molds as planned. This dream is at a conflict with Turkey which wants the 'Stans'; Uzbeki<span style="text-decoration: underline;">stan</span>, Kazakh<span style="text-decoration: underline;">stan</span>, Tajiki<span style="text-decoration: underline;">stan</span>, and Kyrgyz<span style="text-decoration: underline;">stan.</span></p><p>Lets just say that "Stan" converted to Islam long ago and is why God got rid of them thanks to St. Mary, the Pope and Ronald Reagan.</p><p>While many concern themselves with the Eurasian dream, this does not mean that the US is not going to occupy a predominant position. While the U.S. position is certain to be less hegemonic than before (Trump is an isolationist), Trump, regardless of his friendly approach with Putin, he will still not cut any deals where Putin will be declared victor and Trump looking like he was dominated by Putin.</p><p>Unlike what Trump displayed in his speeches, he will not make deals with Putin that serves Russian interests without serving U.S. interests as well.</p><p>Trump has the edge, most Americans have the feel that the U.S. as a nation, when unlike Eurasia or Europe or the neo-Ottoman dream, it has 50 nation states; all speak the same language; all connected with no borders, and all will be extremely united under Trump with assets of at least $269.6 trillion dollars and it still leads the world which tries to unite to supersede it.</p><p>With Trump's victory, all the "America doom and gloom" false prophets-including but not limited to-all the "America will be no more since Antichrist needs to rise to rule the world" were completely silenced.</p><p>Stop listening to madmen.</p><p>Unravelling prophecy takes work, much work. Taking a look at the other competitors to the U.S., we find a current Turkish-Russian cooperation, the E.U, China ... and unlike the U.S., <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>they are all fragile</em></span>.</p><p><strong>THE TURKISH-RUSSIAN (EURASIAN) ALLIANCE </strong><br />Turkey is not and will not shift towards Russia and neither will Trump or the west fear this alliance. Turkey is becoming the magnet to many Muslim nations.</p><p>Behlul Ozkan, an assistant professor at Marmara University and the author of "From the Abode of Islam to the Turkish Vatan" <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.aina.org/news/20161208163756.htm">confirms</a> what we have been saying all along: Turkey is on the rise to reclaim its Ottoman hegemony. Ozkan adds in the mix the positions of Russia and the U.S.</p><p>On the one hand, as Ozkan points, Alexander Dugin, one of the Kremlin's chief ideologues and a key proponent of "Eurasianism," has been meeting with A.K.P. officials. This is not a total surprise given the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>parallels</em></span> between Russia and Turkey, with their ambivalence toward the West. Mr. Dugin hopes his country will lead an emerging anti-Western "Eurasian" alliance while Mr. Erdogan believes it is Turkey's historical destiny to champion a Muslim world bullied by the West.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/eurasia-2-001.jpg"><img alt="Eurasia 2" class=" wp-image-106714 aligncenter" height="269" sizes="(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/eurasia-2-001-300x128.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/eurasia-2-001-300x128.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/eurasia-2-001-768x329.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/eurasia-2-001.jpg 900w" width="630" /></a></p><p>But Turkey is still one of the biggest patrons of the Syrian rebels (something Trump hates), while Russia is Mr. Assad's staunchest backer (whom Trump likes).</p><p>And as Ozkan confirms "while Turkey is still a member of NATO, and remains intertwined with the European Union, albeit more for economic than for political reasons it cannot afford to align itself exclusively with authoritarian regimes [like Russia]".</p><p>Turkey can never completely reprise its Ottoman-era role in the Middle East and is why the future threat is a fragile; it will be broken down to ten entities, with partly clay and partly iron (Daniel 2).</p><p>This is a humpty-dumpty beast. What this beast has in common is that they are <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>all fragile and is why it stems from the regions we mentioned.</em></span></p><p>The coming threat to world humanity is not the '<em>strongest nations'</em> which God in Ezekiel 28 clearly says that the threat is destroyed by the "most terrible [powerful] of the nations". This would mean that Russia and the U.S. will eventually shift from Turkey.</p><p>Ezekiel 28 is God speaking not I. Therefore, Russia and the U.S. will eventually unite and distance themselves from Turkey.</p><p>So few (especially secular experts) focus on God. If they only focused in reverse of what they think, they will get it. In God's mind, when "peace and safety comes," "war is on the horizon," and when "rumors of wars" is on the horizon, no war is coming, and it is still "peace and safety" stupid.</p><p>War comes sudden and is unexpected.</p><p>Also, it is not the <em>strong nations</em> that we should worry about, but the <em>cornered nations</em> that becomes the major threat. A lion basks in the sun until a threat passes by from another lion, bear or a leopard.</p><p>It is when strong nations hurt that something has to realign. The more that Turkey, Europe or Russia are cornered, the more we should be concerned. Turkey's economy like Russia is already feeling the repercussions of Putin's and Erdogan's policies. As Ozkan points:</p><blockquote><p>"The Turkish currency has fallen by some <span style="text-decoration: underline;">20 percent</span> against the dollar over the past 11 months. The <span style="text-decoration: underline;">outlook is so grim</span> that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">foreign investment has begun to flee the country</span>. Even the deputy prime minister for economic affairs recently admitted that Turkey is going through "its <span style="text-decoration: underline;">toughest period since the end of the First World War</span>," when the Ottoman Empire collapsed."</p></blockquote><p>But it is this type of downfall that makes nations dangerous. Turkey is caught between a lion and a bear. It cannot mess with its relations with Europe. As Ozkan states:</p><blockquote><p>"[Turkey] sends around <span style="text-decoration: underline;">half its exports to the European Union</span>, and its <span style="text-decoration: underline;">economy is kept afloat by European investment</span>. Joining the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Shanghai Cooperation Organization</span> would be paltry [<span style="text-decoration: underline;">meager] compensation</span> for what it <span style="text-decoration: underline;">would give up by spurning Europe</span>."</p></blockquote><p>Above all, we have consistently forecast the enduring power of the United States. This is not a forecast rooted in patriotism or jingoism; the United States is and will be the pre-eminent power, but by the end of this decade (2018-2023), Turkey will emerge as a major regional military power, and Turkish-Iranian alliance will increase as a result. This will not bode well with King Trump or with Czar Putin.</p><p>Ozkan confirms what we have said all along:</p><blockquote><p>"century after the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and his supporters believe that they can <span style="text-decoration: underline;">restore the empire's former glory</span>. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stroll through the streets of any Turkish city</span> and you will see car windows emblazoned with the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">imperial seals of Ottoman sultans</span>, who are also commemorated in the names of new multibillion-dollar building projects."</p></blockquote><p>The mark of the Ottomans is already being accomplished. Erdogan is putting together the Ottoman Empire as Ozkan confirms:</p><blockquote><p>Mr. Erdogan, the country's leader for 14 years, is the one chiefly responsible for putting the Ottoman Empire at the center of Turkey's collective imagination. The Ottoman sultans doubled as the caliphs of the Muslim world, which is not lost on the supporters of Mr. Erdogan's Justice and Development Party, or A.K.P. The chairman of the A.K.P.'s youth wing recently declared Mr. Erdogan "<span style="text-decoration: underline;">president of all the world's Muslims</span>." Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a prominent Qatar-based cleric associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, similarly regards Turkey's president as "the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">hope of all Muslims and of Islam</span>."</p></blockquote><p>Where were these 'experts' three decades ago? They, unfortunately did not read a Bible.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/turkey-kurds_.jpg"><img alt="Demonstrators wave Turkish flags as they shout nationalist slogans during a protest against Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in central Istanbul, Turkey, August 16, 2015. A Turkish soldier and three Kurdish militants were killed in a clash in eastern Turkey on Sunday, security sources said. The fighting between Turkish special forces and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) took place in a rural area of Kars province, they said. One soldier was also wounded. The PKK has attacked military targets on a near-daily basis since the Turkish government launched air strikes on rebel camps in northern Iraq on July 25, wrecking a two-year-old ceasefire.

After Syria's civil war began in 2011, Ankara sought to replace the regime of President Bashar al-Assad with Islamist allies. To that end, it sponsored armed groups that would do its bidding in Syria, groups named for Ottoman rulers like the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sultan Murad Brigade</span> and the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror Brigade</span>."</p><p>In recent months, Mr. Erdogan has lamented that Mosul, a major hub in Ottoman times and now one of Iraq's most important cities, was left outside Turkey's borders when the Republic of Turkey was founded in 1923.</p><p>Turkey has a military presence in northern Iraq that dates back to the second half of the 1990s, when the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or P.K.K., with which the Turkish government has been at war for more than 30 years, established camps there. More recently, in anticipation of the fall of the Islamic State, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Turkish troops have set up a base near Mosul</span>. A.K.P.-supporting pundits have argued that in the post-Islamic State order, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">northern Iraq should be administered by Turkish-backed Sunni Arabs</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sunni Kurds</span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sunni Turkmens</span> -- not the Shiite-dominated government in Baghdad.</p></blockquote><p>While the European Union will never return to its previous unity, it will still survive and operate in a fragmented way in the next few years. With Germany (like Turkey and Russia) to suffer severe economic reversals, while Poland to increase its regional power; this will make Russia, Turkey and Germany become cornered lions. Erdogan's attempt to "blackmail" Europe with the Russo-Turkish alliance is unlikely to bear fruit — Europeans en masse do not fear Russia, however, they do fear Turkey already, especially with the Muslim immigration issue.</p><p>For now, Turkey needs the U.S. for political and military reasons until 2023, when it declares its independence from military imports. Trump needs Erdogan in managing the Black Sea and Turkey's participation in the containment of Russia's expansions. This will continue and we will see initially Trump coalescing to Erdogan.</p><p><strong>WILL TRUMP COMBAT ISIS?</strong><br />Therefore, the United States, unlike what Trump said during his campaigns (he reversed much of the rhetoric already) he will not fulfill the masses dreams to "deploy multidivisional forces to the region to combat ISIS". ISIS is pretty much waining, but he will befriend the man whom he never mentioned once during his campaign: Erdogan. Trump is a fox and he knows to "keep your enemies closer".</p><p>By using the Bible we were able to accurately predict Erdogan's rise to Trump's rise by focusing on Daniel, Isaiah, Revelations and Jesus Who predicted Nationalism: "Nation will rise against Nation". This 'humpty-dumpty' beast is not a <em>global one world government</em> and the clock is going backwards.</p><p>For "Trump's war on ISIS," Syria and Turkey become key issues. Trump will use Ankara's ambitions and its ability to cope with Middle Eastern realities.</p><p>But this relationship we expect will deteriorate. Here is what Trump will be up against: the Kurdish issue.</p><p>The United States and the European Union consider the Kurds as a key ally in the fight against ISIS. In August, the Syrian Kurds, with American support, were poised to gain control of a long strip along the Turkish-Syrian border. Once this became clear, Turkey, together with its Syrian proxies, launched a military operation to push back both: the <em>Kurds</em> and <em>ISIS</em>. Turkey and its proxies gained control of an area that they used to create a buffer zone between two Syrian Kurdish-administered territories.</p><p>As Ozkan points: "Both Iran and Russia liked what Turkey did. They were happy to see the American-backed group's ambitions checked. Both Turkey and Iran fear the carving of swaths of land to create a Kurdistan while the U.S. desires a Kurdish independence. With American assistance, Moscow and Tehran fear they could be counted on to remain an American ally and perhaps even to host American military bases, threatening Iranian and Russian interests. Accordingly, by using Turkey to beat the Syrian Kurds, Moscow and Tehran hope to drive them away from the United States and into their own arms."</p><p>We already know from scripture that the bear rises on one side, that is Persia (Iran) without Media (Kurdistan). Always keep that in mind and the prudent can sift how prophecy will unravel.</p><p><em>Therefore, Turkey's toying with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a pact led by Russia and China that is meant to rival the European Union will fail.</em></p><p>Turkey is turning away from potential partners in the West since these value democracy and human rights. What is arising globally as Ozkan points out is "another world of autocrats, pseudo-monarchs and aspiring czars."</p><p>In other words, the clock is turning backwards to an era pre WWI in preparation for a WWIII as we have been declaring. Why did we predict this?</p><p>Simple: The world needs to get closest to that position the Bible predicted when the Ottomans collapsed. When Christ returns He stands where He left off. Christ will meet the very enemies who destroyed His Temple in Jerusalem, the very people (Legion X) which was comprised with Syrians, Arabs and Turks (Muslim). To God the world is a clock, He turns it forward when He pleases and He turns it backwards when He pleases and is why He said that "history repeats":</p><blockquote><p>"History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new." (<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://biblehub.com/ecclesiastes/1-9.htm">Ecclesiastes 1:9</a>)</p></blockquote><p>All we do is monitor from the Bible where these clock-turning moments are and where we are at that clock. There are a few years left before the end, so be patient and run with us on this marathon of destiny.</p><p>And so now you know the secret to our success in predicting the future. Its not rocket-science, its simple biblical wisdom, which all can have at their fingertips by contemplating each and every verse always praying and meditating and always considering that each verse is prophetic.</p><p>Eventually Trump by the time he reaches a second term (if he does) will end up in a fallout with Turkey. In the meanwhile, Christians should begin to play the symphony, in unison, as Christ leads the spiritual battle to victory:<br /><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/78KtEjdAszw?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&start=563&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p>
