By Walid Shoebat (Shoebat Sunday Special PART I)

Holy Smokes! Is this man, Recep TayyipErdoan, the Antichrist, who will demand worship in the Temple of God?Heck, Erdoan isalready accepting to be worshipped.But people still insist asking me: is he the Antichrist?

Well, what we do know is that Turkey will produce the Antichrist. If you object, please answer theJesus-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:

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 butErdogan to be chief prince of Meshech and Tubal (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 be seen over them, and his dart shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord God will sound the trumpet, and go in thewhirlwind of the south?

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 biblicalexpert 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) butnorth 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 theAntichrist, from the figment of your imagination; nothing matches unless all the verses; every single verse fits one man and one geography, perfectly.

BUT HOW CAN ERDOGAN BE ANTICHRIST IF HE DOES NO MIRACLES? Is Erdogan the Antichrist? We are to wait and see. But I do get somechallenges. The Antichrist is said to be a charismatic politician, a religious figure and a Houdini type who does signs and wonders a miracle worker all in one.How then does Erdogan qualify to be the Houdini of Houdinis?

Answer: First of all, Antichrist does notdo genuine miracles. Hisworkingmiracles asPaul tells us are lying wonders (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 three unclean spiritslikefrogs (Apocalypse 16:14). Thirdly, these phony performancesare strictly done to muster the world for war at Armageddon. 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 threepoints I just made here are exactly what the context says:

And the sixth angel poured out his vial uponthe great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way ofthe kings of the eastmight be prepared.And I sawthree unclean spiritslike frogscomeout of the mouth of the dragon, andout of the mouth of the beast, andout of the mouth of the false prophet.For they are thespirits of devils,working miracles, which go forthunto the kings of the earthand ofthe whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he thatwatcheth, andkeepeth his garments, lest hewalk naked, and theysee his shame.And he [the beast]gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongueArmageddon.And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying,It is done.And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was agreat earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, somighty an earthquake, and so great.And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: andgreat Babyloncame in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. (Rev. 16:13, 14)

So here is the text and context; does theAntichrist hereperform these fake miracles himself?No.

He performs these lying wondersthrough 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 strictly call the nations for warfare against Israel at Armageddon. All three points (1) lying wonders are (2) performed by three religious personalities (3) to strictlyinvitethe Antichrist nations to come to war.

When it comes to prophecy, most formulate a figment of their own imagination. Thefigment then becomes the driving mold and not the scripture.

Antichrist sends out three religious figures towards three directions which can be constructed from scripture. From the east, one spirit callsthetwo 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 spiritbrings inTurkey, 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).

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) includingthe 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).

ALWAYS LOOK FORWHERE GOD REVERSES THE CLOCK In that event, even Gods clock rewinds to the same time and to the same place where Christ was crucified. This event even includes the same peoples who invaded Jerusalems temple. Antichrist in Revelation persecutesthe Church (Christs Body), which parallelsChristssuffering on the Cross. Notice Revelation 16:17there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying,It is done.

Christ on the cross saidit is finished.

Then there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was agreat earthquakejust as it was whenChrist was crucified and on the same spot.

Thencame a great voice out of the temple of heaven. Godsclock reverses towhen Christ gained HisFirst victory against the devil through His crucifixion and now His Second victory against the devil at Armageddon.

Even the very same exact peoples who came against His temple: Legion X (tenth legion) of the Romans comes again comprising ten kings underAntichrist. Christ evendescribes these peoples depicted inHis Crucifixion: Many bulls have surrounded Me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me (Psalm 22:12), who will be the same peoples asLegion X that converged on Jerusalem comprised of the same nationalities (Syrian, Turks, Arabs) and we find Christ combating thefatlingsof Bashan in Ezekiel 39:18.

Bashan points to either Syria or Bashan in the Caucasus in the southern regions of Russia. This time around, it is Christsfury 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 shakeat my presence (Ezekiel 38:20). Christ is present there.

This is Jerusalems punishment. It lives in grave sin. The clockturns backwards revealing even the same pagan Roman style debauchery whereJerusalemis called Sodom and Egyptfor 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 Israelwants nothing to do with anyone who is anti-sodomy. Only the Christianswhowithstand Sodom will be redeemed. The clock even turns to when Lot (the church) is rescuedwhile the traitors (Lots wife) who sympathize with Sodom are cursed.God honors only the ones whocomplete(not bail out) the marathon; the five virgins who were not of this world.

ALWAYS UNDERSTAND ANCIENT ALLEGORY 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 isdone by a Houdini looking like a lamb with literal two horns?

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 asastory of what the church has to endurethroughout the ages after John departs. This is atheme that runs all the way through the end of the Apocalypse.

Photo of Antichrist:from the One Thousand And One Idiots Guide To Prophetic Interpretations

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?

Never interpret Revelationword for word. Listen to it like a story:

And I saw one of his heads as it were slain to death: and his deaths 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 be able to fight with him?

He was given power togive breath to the imageofthe first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worshipthe image to be killed?

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 Godwas wounded. John simply tells us, that this same beast is coming back to life again to hunt down Gods childrenonce more.

So figure out thefirst beast, and you will figure out the second beast, including the very peoplesinvolved.

This is simply a revival of a wounded kingdomnot 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 theseventh kingdom which willre-ariseasthe eighth, in the end (Revelation 17:10-11). It is crucial to keep in mind thatProphecy was intended for the wholeof Church historyand not just the end-days. Revelation 9 for example was commonlyinterpreted to be the Ottoman.

WHY ARE SO MANY CONFUSED (THERE ARE ALWAYS TWO CAMPS) There are always two camps. Even the confused aretwo camps. In modern timesmany Catholics study prophecy exclusively from seers, while they ignore scripture; while another camp, the Evangelicals, these study prophecy from scripture alone without the fathers.I happen to have delved in all camps:Muslim, Protestant and nowCatholic. What can I say. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Even the errors repeat twice. Israel missed Messiahs first coming and when Christ comes again, we have five unworthy virgins missing the wedding. Everything repeats. Even during Israel, one camp had Messiah asthe suffering Messiah (Messiah son ofYousef) while the other camp had the Messiah Who will defeat Rome and will be King Messiah (Messiah son of David).

Then Messiah showed up. And He wasone Messiah coming twice.

So where the Rabbis wrong? No. It was the duty of each individual faithful toseek with all theirstrength in putting the two puzzles together. Both camps in ancient Israel were correct. Messiah willbe a suffering Messiahand will also defeat pagan Rome by converting it later through His seed.What people lacked was the patience of Job.

Similarly, we also have the same beast coming twice; the first beast comes out of the sea to conquer one half of Christendom inConstantinople. 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.

When I was Muslim we used to say: first we conquer Constantinople and then we will conquer Rome. TheIslamic threat comprises thetwo beastsand the day when I studied scripture (as Muslim) it all came together.

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.

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 withfire and all, where thesmoke pleases Gods nostrils. The other (Cain) simply offers fruit. Nothing changes. Today we have one side who goes elaborate and burns incense to please Gods nostrils. The other side says that God has no nostrils so he offers grape juice.

So which side is right and which side is wrong? The answer to this is verysimple. 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.

Holy Smokes. Abel loves to dress up for the Kings Sons 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.

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 withAntichrist where John has one piece while Daniel has the other piece. The wise examines both pieces. The wiseconsider two comings, two beasts (the first out of the sea and the secondout of the earth where the first was buried).

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 ofthe two camps, yet he does, by putting both camps together. Yet the two camps refuse to unite. This, the puzzle builder has no control of since one camp has to accept Holy Smokes.

It is that new John the Baptist type who all campsreject. 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..

Muslims Are Already Worshipping Erdogan. Is Erdogan The ...

ISTANBUL Turkeys president said Saturday the country might pursue a Brexit-like referendum on whether to pursue European Union membership and also lashed out at a critical protest in Switzerland.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan brought up the proposal at a Turkish-U.K. forum in the southern city of Antalya, referring to the British departure from the EU and saying Turkey might hold a similar referendum after the April 16 vote to expand the powers of the Turkish presidency.

The negotiation process for Turkeys EU membership began in 2005, but has been at a standstill for years.

Tensions between Ankara and several European capitals have been escalating ahead of the contentious April 16 referendum.

Turkish opposition members and Western allies have criticized the constitutional referendum, saying it would grant Erdogan unprecedented authority with limited checks and balances.

Earlier this month, Dutch and German authorities restricted Turkish officials from campaigning for diaspora votes, resulting in harsh criticism from Ankara.

At a rally earlier Saturday, Erdogan lashed out at the critics who claimed Turkey would not be allowed into the EU if the referendum passed, saying it would make our job easier if Europe made that call and adding Turkey is no ones whipping boy.

Erdogan also criticized a demonstration in Switzerland on Saturday where protestors hung a giant banner depicting the Turkish president with a gun to his head.

The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it had summoned Swiss charge daffaires to condemn the incident and that the minister had called his Swiss counterpart to voice his displeasure.

The statement also claimed the demonstrators belonged to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, adding that it would be closely monitoring the legal and administrative actions to be taken by Swiss authorities regarding this crime.

Erdogan: Turkey might hold referendum on EU membership - PBS NewsHour

Former Central Intelligence Agency Director James Woolsey told CNN Friday that former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn met with representatives of the Turkish government in 2016 and discussed potential ways to send a foe of Turkey's president back to face charges in that country,

As a representative of Flynn Intel Group, Flynn met with senior representatives of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government in September 2016, Woolsey said. Woolsey was a Trump campaign adviser at the time and attended the meeting -- but said he arrived after it was already well underway.

Woolsey claims that those present discussed sending Fethullah Gulen, a Muslim leader who Erdogan has accused of being behind a failed military coup to overthrow him, back to Turkey to face charges -- possibly outside the legal US extradition system.

"What I saw and heard was sort of the end of the conversation -- it's not entirely clear what transpired because of that," Woolsey said on "CNN Tonight" with Don Lemon. "But it looks as if there was at least some strong suggestion by one or more of the Americans present at the meeting that we would be able, the United States would be able, through them, to be able to get hold of Gulen, the rival for Turkey's political situation."

A spokesman for Flynn flatly denied Woolsey's characterization of the meeting.

"The claim made by Mr. Woolsey that General Flynn, or anyone else in attendance, discussed physical removal of Mr. Gulen from the United States during a meeting with Turkish officials in New York is false," Flynn spokesman Price Floyd said in a statement. "No such discussion occurred. Nor did Mr. Woolsey ever inform General Flynn that he had any concerns whatsoever regarding the meeting, either before he chose to attend, or afterwards."

The Wall Street Journal first reported Woolsey's claims Friday.

Flynn was advising the Trump campaign at the time. He became national security adviser after Donald Trump became President in January but resigned in mid-February, after he reportedly misled administration officials about his communications with the Russian ambassador to the United States.

Woolsey, who was CIA director under President Bill Clinton and who was on President Trump's team for about five months before quitting in January, said he didn't hear enough of what was said to make any definitive statements about what happened before he got there.

"The reason I'm being cautious about how this was worded is because I wasn't there for much of this meeting," said Woolsey, who nevertheless described the meeting as "suspicious" and "concerning."

"I felt I needed to say something to somebody, but was it a clear plot that they were going to seize him? No," he said.

Erdogan Warns Europeans on Their Safety as Tensions Rise With West - New York Times

ANKARA President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that Europeans would not be able to walk safely on the streets if they kept up their current attitude toward Turkey, his latest salvo in a row over campaigning by Turkish politicians in Europe.

Turkey has been embroiled in a dispute with Germany and the Netherlands over campaign appearances by Turkish officials seeking to drum up support for an April 16 referendum that could boost Erdogan's powers.

Ankara has accused its European allies of using "Nazi methods" by banning Turkish ministers from addressing rallies in Europe over security concerns. The comments have led to a sharp deterioration in ties with the European Union, which Turkey still aspires to join.

"Turkey is not a country you can pull and push around, not a country whose citizens you can drag on the ground," Erdogan said at an event for Turkish journalists in Ankara, in comments broadcast live on national television.

"If Europe continues this way, no European in any part of the world can walk safely on the streets. Europe will be damaged by this. We, as Turkey, call on Europe to respect human rights and democracy," he said.

Germany's Frank-Walter Steinmeier used his first speech as president on Wednesday to warn Erdogan that he risked destroying everything his country had achieved in recent years, and that he risked damaging diplomatic ties.

"The way we look (at Turkey) is characterized by worry, that everything that has been built up over years and decades is collapsing," Steinmeier said in his inaugural speech in the largely ceremonial role.

He called for an end to the "unspeakable Nazi comparisons."

Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said earlier that although Turkish government officials were still taking part in events for expatriate Turks across Europe, they were not campaigning for the referendum.

The Union of European Turkish Democrats, which organizes events in Europe, said on Tuesday that Turkish leaders would no longer hold campaign rallies in Germany after an ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel said they were not welcome.

Germany, home to some 1.4 million Turks eligible to vote in the referendum, has been angered by the Nazi comparisons and Merkel has demanded that Ankara halt the rhetoric. Erdogan, however, has repeated the message in speech after speech.

The Netherlands, also home to a large ethnic Turkish diaspora, has been embroiled in a similar row with Turkey.

Kurtulmus, who is also the Turkish government's chief spokesman, repeated the rhetoric on Wednesday, saying the "footsteps of neo-Nazism and extreme racism" could be heard in Europe.

Another deputy prime minister, Veysi Kaynak, meanwhile criticized Norway for granting asylum to Turkish military officers suspected of links to the religious network accused by Ankara of orchestrating last July's coup attempt.

"This, unfortunately, in my opinion, is the first sign that Europe, which suffered from civil wars that cost the lives of innocent people for hundreds of years, ... is turning into that Dark Age again," Kaynak was quoted by the state-run Anadolu news agency as saying.

The Turkish foreign ministry's spokesman said later on Wednesday that the ministry had summoned the Norwegian ambassador to Ankara to express Turkey's concerns over Norway's decision to grant asylum to the individuals.

Since the failed coup, which Ankara says was orchestrated by U.S.-based cleric Fetullah Gulen, some 40,000 people have been arrested in Turkey and more than 100,000 sacked or suspended from the military, civil service and private sector, while others have sought asylum abroad.

The foreign ministry's spokesman said Turkey would continue to pursue the matter.

BEIJING China said on Thursday the United States should respect its air defense identification zone (ADIZ), after CNN reported China had warned a U.S. bomber it was illegally flying inside China's self-declared zone in the East China Sea.

ANKARA Turkey is in talks with the United States and Britain to exclude Turkish Airlines and Istanbul's main Ataturk airport from a ban on passengers carrying electronics larger than cell phones, Turkey's foreign ministry spokesman said on Thursday.
