Truly, a beast who was and is not and is yet to come. Signs. http://shoebat.com/2017/07/18/erdog...-vows-that-all-who-defy-him-will-be-beheaded/ Erdogan Of Turkey Literally Resurrects The Image Of The Ottoman Beast And Vows That All Who Defy Him Will Be Beheaded by Shoebat Foundation on July 18, 2017 in Featured, General, Highlight By Walid Shoebat When we say that the Ottomans will rise again, including its image “the image of the beast,” Shariah and Islamic Beheading’ we concluded all this decades ago just by reading the Bible. And now, as we monitor the news in Turkey, just in the last few days, we find two news pieces which further confirm our proclamations. Firstly, Hayrettin Karaman, Turkey’s main Fatwa giver, wrote an article for Yeni Safak headlined with “Shariah Will Rise Again”. This would be the minor piece of news. Secondly, Erdogan erected a giant image symbolizing his victory and “Turkey’s unification,” he then had his people come to visit the image as a symbol of pledging allegiance to him. It was topped by a crescent, carried by seven statues signifying Turkey’s seven regions united. Tek Devlet “One State” the image said. And yes, Erdogan vowed that beheading is coming to Turkey as well to all who betray him. To confirm this rising Sharia announced by Karaman, his Fatwa giver in Turkey, just last week Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered a feisty message on the one-year anniversary of the failed coup. He lauded the popular resistance that helped stop the coup, and promised to “decapitate traitors”. Erdogan contemplating the image he resurrected resembling the rise of the Ottomans upwardly to heaven reaching up to the crescent Karaman, Erdogan’s main Fatwa giver, writes that “The CHP, the Kemalists and the White Turks” are the ones who “allowed the country to slip into secularism since 1950” because, according to him, these “have turned their backs on the Islamic civilization, which once brought Europe out of darkness and enlightenment, and the legacy of the Seljuk and Ottoman Turks representing that civilization.” He lamented that “these white Turks are now surrounded by concepts such as ‘human rights,’ ‘democracy,’ ‘enlightenment,’ ‘contemporary civilization and values'”. White Turks (Turkish: Beyaz Türkler) is a term used in Turkey for the urban Republicanelite. Turkey’s AKP Party has become the populous movement to magnetize the rest of the Muslim world “against the elitists” a phenomenon we see also arising in Northern Europe and Japan. Karaman then gave what he perceived as a recent victory: “The large masses (Muslim people), these did not like what they perceived as dangerous, they have now achieved what they have planned by applying democracy. Today, the massive masses (more than a hundred percent of our people) is against democracy, while the other side is now a very narrow gate.” “Turkey is experiencing a ‘silent revolution’ process with the AKP” Karaman added. And what he plans he made clear: “Compulsory [Islamic] religious education, Koranic courses, Arabic and Ottoman lessons, Islamiziation of all schools, sharia education and finally compulsory worship services in all schools”. He adds that the end of Kemalism and the rise of Ottomanism has been accomplished: “The regime and the political structure is changing; Law and democracy are getting out of hand. With the silent revolution, the secular republic founded by Atatürk is terminated. The Republican enlightenment and the Anatolian renaissance leave their place in the dark. In the Anatolian lands, a unique Republic is being established.” And this comes from the top. Erdogan confirms: “If parliament passes a bill on resuming executions (by beheading) in Turkey., he said, “I will sign it.” Erdogan wants to approve beheadings. If Turkey does so it would likely scuttle its longtime effort to join the European Union, whose member countries have abolished the death penalty. The massive numbers in support of Erdogan was so huge. People in Istanbul gathered to commemorate the failure of last year’s coup after Erdogan ordered to erect an image in front of his palace symbolizing seven lifting up the seven regions of Turkey lifting up the crescent. Erdogan pointed to the image as a symbol for his victory and vowed that all who defy him will literally be “beheaded”. The Bible speaks of an “image of the beast” (Revelation 13:15) and anyone who refuses to worship the image of the beast will be beheaded (Revelation 20:4). contd..
Everyone came to honor Erdogan and his image he erected. Notice in the above photo, the two-square star bordering at the base. This is called Rub el Hizb. This is the symbol, represented as two overlapping squares, which is found on a number of emblems and flags as well as the Isra and Mi’raj, Muhammad’s alleged ascension to heaven and “the meeting of the crescent moon and the star”. It is also a symbol from the Ilkhanate “Rub el Hizb” geometrical wall-tile containing the Azure dragon. Ilkhanate “Rub el Hizb” geometrical wall-tile containing the Azure dragon. It is the current coat of arms of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, the unofficial flag of Kazakhstan and the elite Special Police Squad of the Republic of Bosnia, the Mughal monument in Delhi, India, completed in 1572 AD and especially that its the Jerusalem Symbol. Rub el Hizb is essentially the Islamic version of the eight-pointed star, an icon that is found in several spiritual traditions all over the world. The Rub el Hizb (two squares) is formed by two overlapping squares with one square titled over the other to make an eight-vertex, star-shaped geometrical figure. It is the very symbol of “Sujud” to literally bow once this symbol is seen in all Qurans. It is also a Hindu symbol, just as is the Swastika, but this one is called the “Star of Lakshmi”. Interestingly, Erdogan described his opposition led by Fethulla Gulen with “Dajjal” (Antichrist) ensuring that “we will gain our goal in 2023”: “We will reach our goals for 2023 with our people and no one will discourage us from achieving this neither the traitors of the Gulen organization, the PKK, nor allies who are working to encircle us along our borders.” The symbolic image Erdogan erected represents the seven regions, a symbol of Ottoman unity; all seven Anatolian regions carrying the crescent, Shariah, the base on the Jerusalem Symbol, the resurrection and rise on these four bridges upwards says it all. What we have here is the symbolism of this revival of the Ottoman beast. Turkey in 1941 was composed of seven regions: 1-Aegean Region (Aegean Section Edremit Area) 2-Black Sea Region (Western Black Sea Section) 3-Central Anatolia Region (Konya Section) and 4-Eastern Anatolia Region (Upper Euphrates Section) 5-Marmara Region (Çatalca – Kocaeli Section) 6-Mediterranean Region (Adana Section) and 7-Southeastern Anatolia Region (Middle Euphrates Section). With all seven topped by the two-horned crescent it sends a clue to what the Bible predicted of two beasts; one with seven heads and another with two horns (the crescent moon) led by Antichrist, the star that fell from heaven (Revelation 9:1) who poisons the earth, the rivers and the seas. Erdogan also loves erecting symbolic images that represent his dreams. But such symbolism fulfills Daniel’s prophecies. From his palace to a Goliath size mosque in Uskudar district in Istanbul, Erdogan is fulfilling his neo-Ottoman dream. Translation: The Goliath Mosque At The Highest Point On Çamlıca Hill Daniel says of the Antichrist as “planting the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain”. This magnificent temple is in Uskudar near Istanbul, literally between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara. Erdogan just loves putting tabernacles, erect images and palaces between two seas. An Ottoman sultan is addressed as such in prayer: “O Allah, assist the Sultan, son of the Sultan, Sovereign of the Two Continents, of the Two Seas, Destroyer of Two Armies, Sultan of the Two Iraqs, Servant of the Two Sanctuaries [Mecca and Medina]” (Ibn Iyas, 195-1960). Erdogan wants to mimmic Muhammad II who was “Sovereign of the Two Seas, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.” Daniel tells us of the personality of Antichrist and what he likes; tabernacles and castles on high mountains. He is boastful, arrogant and deceptive. He exalts and magnify himself as a god. It is not difficult to profile the personality of Antichrist and Erdogan is definitely a perfect match as he is given titles that only fit a god. “And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.” (Daniel 11:45) Contd..
A tabernacle can by anything from a place of worship, erected images to his castles. “In the glorious holy mountain” does not necessitate Jerusalem, it could be a mountain of God according to Antichrist. Biblical scholars allude that this “holy mountain” is not holy from God’s perspective but from a pagan perspective. According to Barnes’ Notes: “What is here stated was to occur after the rumour from the east and the north Daniel 11:44 … It would not be long before his “end,” – before the close of the series, and would be connected with that; or would be the place where that would occur … that it would be held as sacred or holy – קדשׁ qôdesh – that is, as sacred to religion, or regarded as a holy place, or a place of worship …it is true that this language might be applied to Mount Sion, for that was a mountain; it was distinguished for beauty, or was so regarded by those who dwelt there (compare Psalm 48:2); and it was holy, as being the place where the worship of God was celebrated. But it is also true, that, so far as the language is concerned, it might be applied to any other mountain or mountainous region that was distinguished for beauty, and that was regarded as sacred, or in any way consecrated to religion. I see no objection, therefore, to the supposition, that this may be understood of some mountain or elevated spot which was held as sacred to religion, or where a temple was reared for worship, and hence, it may have referred to some mountain, in the vicinity of some temple dedicated to idol worship, where Antiochus would pitch his tent for the purpose of rapine and plunder” There are other possibilities. Erdogan also has a palace in Ankara and “The two seas” is also central in Muslim Ottoman hegemony and in Ankara where Erdogan’s palace resides, it is between the two major seas: the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. However, Turkey is huge and any palace somewhere in Turkey is between two seas and is not a specific locator. The Bible might be telling us that it is literally on a spot that separates “two seas” on a “mountain” smack in between which that red circles on Turkey’s map would fit perfectly where Erdogan would be “master of the two seas” right on the Bosporus. Hagia Sophia is also on a holy hill in Istanbul and we also should not eliminate the Temple Mount and the Dead and Mediterranean seas. Some translations render the verse “And he shall fix his tabernacle, Apadno, between the seas, upon a glorious and holy mountain”. Some take the word אפדנו, “Apadno”, translated “palace”, for the proper name of a place, Theodoret takes it to be a place near Jerusalem; and Jerom says it was near Nicopolis, which was formerly called Emmaus; where the mountainous parts of Judea begin to rise, and lay between the Dead sea on the east, and the great sea on the west, where he supposes antichrist will pitch his tent. George Haydock’s Commentary says: “Apadno. Some take it for the proper name of a place; others, from the Hebrew translate it, his palace.(Challoner) — He fixed his royal tent between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. (Worthington) —Porphyrius explains this of the march beyond the Euphrates, which St. Jerome does not disapprove. Apadno may denote Mesopotamia, which is styled Padan Aram.” This is nearby where Hamon-Gog is destroyed “east of the sea” in Ezekiel 39:15, where it is to be the place where all of Israel buries the five-sixths of the army of Gog and Magog that are struck down by God. The name is given to us precisely: “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give Gog a noted place for a sepulchre in Israel: the valley of the passengers [Abarim] on the east of the sea, which shall cause astonishment in them that pass by: and there shall they bury Gog, and all his multitude, and it shall be called the valley of the multitude of Gog.” (Ezekiel 39:11, see Douay Rheims and also NABRE) Things are happening at rapid speed getting us closer to Armageddon and by 2023 the picture will be clear. While Megiddo is another location for the battle stemming from the Golan Heights, we know that another bulk of Antichrist’s army (possibly comes in later to create a pincer and reap the victory) which is coming from Iraq to Jordan towards the valley that runs east from Jerusalem to Jordan. Antichrist wants to enter this valley which is the normal approach route through the mountains for any army to attack Jerusalem from the east when Antichrist “passes Edom and Moab” and spares it, he heads towards Palestinian controlled Jericho. I lived there for five years and know well that terrain. If Israel is to hit that army with a mini nuclear, the area (see also Zech 14 :12) where is the “Valley of The Passengers” is called Abarim which faces Jericho (Abarim literally means to pass, from Hebrew Eber pass through/Passover). Abarim is literally mentioned in the Hebrew and is a name of a place. If this is true, Antichrist does not personally enter the Jordan River and will not pass through to the promised land in his invasion. Regardless to which location, what we know for sure is that Jerusalem will be on the crosshairs of Antichrist and Erdogan is already eyeing it by erecting an image that sits on the al-Quds star (Arabic نجمة القدس, najmat al-Quds).
Eeeeewwww! Nightmare images. This should excite Iran, Syria, Russia and......N Korea to help out Iran.
Look at this footage of the crowd at the celebration of this anniversary of the so called coup and the unveiling of the monument. Nazi Germany has nothing on Erdogan and his cult of personality. Using nationalism religion and racist undertones to undermine the secular and Christian people living there. Also, on that day during his speach it was announced that Islamization of all schools there as well as mandatory religious participation and even the teaching of Jihad is now to be the norm across all of Turkey. I guess that Turkey's recent leaking to the press the locations of US bases in Syria should come as no surprise when we are not furthering Erdogons plans for the entire ME. Par for the course.
That beast who was and is not and is yet to come......in whatever period or costume is in essence Satan.....when time is up after the 100 years for tempting the faithful will become the "is not" except for the continuation of his minions who have previously sold their souls.....and will come again at the very end before the final judgement. Just sayin!
I share your belief obviously, but didn't want to post the entire vision due to the length of the post being so long. The Angel tells John flat out that it will then go to it's destruction like the woman.However, here in the west and especially the myriad of Protestant and Masonic writers completely ignore 2000 years of the Church Fathers and the Saints teachings regarding these truths. A rather large portion of the diabolical teaching and disorientation which was foretold as well.
Don_D, He seems to have a lot of fans but there were also a lot of people protesting against him a little over a week ago. It appears that things are bubbling up in Turkey, not good. I forgot to post the following story and I am not certain that I saw it anywhere on MOG. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/turkey-crackdown-march_us_59623f12e4b0615b9e922612 WORLD NEWS 07/09/2017 11:00 am ET | Updated Jul 09, 2017 Hundreds Of Thousands Take To The Streets To Protest Crackdown In Turkey The march is the biggest protest yet against the crackdown that followed last year’s failed military coup. Osman Orsal / Reuters ISTANBUL, July 9 (Reuters) - Turkey’s main opposition leader told a huge protest rally on Sunday that the country was living under dictatorship and pledged to keep challenging the crackdown launched by the authorities after last year’s failed military coup. Addressing hundreds of thousands of people waving Turkish flags and banners demanding justice, Kemal Kilicdaroglu said his 25-day march from Ankara to Istanbul - culminating in Sunday’s rally in Istanbul - was the first stage of a long campaign. “We will be breaking down the walls of fear,” he told the crowd who gathered to welcome him at the end of his 425 km (265 mile) trek from the Turkish capital. Kilicdaroglu’s protest march drew only modest support in its early days, but as more people joined him it grew into the biggest protest yet against the year-long, post-coup crackdown launched by President Tayyip Erdogan’s ruling AK Party. “The last day of our Justice March is a new beginning, a new step,” said Kilicdaroglu, a bespectacled, 68-year-old veteran politician. “Rights, law, justice,” the crowd chanted back. He called on the government to lift a state of emergency enforced after the abortive July 2016 coup, release scores of journalists from prison and restore the independence of Turkey’s courts. Kilicdaroglu, head of the secularist Republican People’s Party (CHP), launched his protest last month after the jailing of a fellow parliamentarian for 25 years on spying charges. Enis Berberoglu was the first CHP lawmaker to be imprisoned in the purge. About 50,000 people have been arrested and 150,000 state workers including teachers, judges and soldiers, have been suspended. “The era we live in is a dictatorship,” Kilicdaroglu said. People wait for Turkey’s main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu at the final stage of his 25-day long protest, dubbed “Justice March.” “AGAINST ONE-MAN RULE” Rights groups and government critics say Turkey has been drifting toward authoritarianism for years, a process they say accelerated since the coup bid and a referendum in April which granted Erdogan stronger powers. The government says the crackdown and constitutional changes are necessary to address challenges and security threats. Erdogan criticized Kilicdaroglu when he launched his protest, saying justice should be sought in parliament, not on the street. He likened the protesters to those who carried out the attempted coup, saying they could face charges. But Kilicdaroglu said the opposition had no alternative because Turkey’s courts had been politicized, “the powers of parliament have been seized” and the media had been muzzled. “There is only a single place for our demand for justice and that is the streets,” he said. People in the crowd said they were heartened by the turnout. Umit Bektas / Reuters Kemal Kilicdaroglu and his wife Selvi greet people during a rally to mark the end of his 25-day long protest. “This is now our future at stake,” said Beyhan, a 50-year-old civil servant who declined to give her full name. “Seeing this crowd has made my hopes blossom.” “We are here for justice and democracy. We are here because we are against one-man rule,” she said. “There is no democracy, there is no freedom, even thinking is a crime.” Samet Burak Sari, 21, a student at Marmara University, said he spent four weeks in prison because he described Erdogan as a terrorist on Twitter. He was released but his trial continues. He said Sunday’s Istanbul rally was the third time the opposition had come together in large numbers - firstly in the 2013 protests in Istanbul’s Gezi Park, then in April over the referendum which narrowly approved Erdogan’s new powers. “Through this march again, people with varying opinions have come together for the third time. Things like this keep the public opposition alive,” he said. (Writing by Dominic Evans)
I read that it was nowhere near that number and much closer to 10k. In fact, Turkish news sites were reporting it all over the board, just like here when something controversial happens like an inauguration. Media outlets in the west are using every means at their disposal to make the opposition to Erdogon appear to be much larger than it is much like they did with Brexit, Trump etc... They have no clue what they have been supporting all these years. Now that it has become apparent that Erdogon is not an ally to western US administrations musings in the ME the gloves are coming off. Turkey is way past bubling up at this point. The persecutions are coming, I hope every Christian forsakes it and gets out while they still can.
Don_D, I meant to thank you for those posts on what is happening there. With the threats that Erdogan is making those that did show up in opposition are very brave but I do wonder about the news, accurate or not? I think you are correct, it is time to get out. There is a video on the following thread which Padraig posted about Elder Paisios' prophecies which involve Turkey. http://motheofgod.com/threads/elder-paisios-prophecy-on-world-war.4946/ EDITED: I think that Elder Paisios is referring to disputes between Greece and Turkey in relation to territorial water zones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aegean_dispute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imia/Kardak Has the following information: 2016 and 2017 tensions In January 2016, Greek Defence Minister, Panos Kammenos, flew over eastern Aegean Sea in a military helicopter and threw a wreath into the sea around the islets where the three Greek Navy officers were killed in 1996.[13] In December 2016, Turkey's Foreign Minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, said that the islets were "Turkish soil", while the Greek government responded that "Greece's sovereignty over its islands in the Aegean, including Imia, is indisputable and established by international law."[14] Tensions around the islets were renewed in January 2017, in light of deterioration of Greco–Turkish relations following Greek refusal to extradite participants of the failed 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt to Turkey. A Turkish navy missile boat accompanied with two special-forces speedboats entered the area around the islets on 29 January 2017. According to the statement issued by the Defence Ministry of Greece, they were blocked and warned by Greek coast guard vessels and withdrew from the area after about seven minutes. The Turkish armed forces denied that the ships were blocked but did not otherwise deny the incident; they stated that the mission was a part of an inspection of the Aksaz Naval Base by chief of General Staff Hulusi Akar, who was on board at the time.[15][16
It's good to be the king....via filthy lucre! Population control....of the bottom dwellers! Melinda Gates Commits $375 Million to Global Family Planning to Counter Trump’s Pro-Life Policy Melinda Gates announced at the Global Family Planning Summit in London that the foundation she heads with her husband will contribute an additional $375 million to help counter President Donald Trump’s pro-life international policy. Gates said the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will increase its family planning funding by 60 percent, offering an additional $375 million over the next four years, with about $250 million to be used for family planning for teens around the world, reports Marie Claire. “This is a difficult political climate for family planning,” Gates said at the Summit. “I’m deeply troubled, as I’m sure you are, by the Trump administration’s proposed budget cuts.” “If empowering women is more than just rhetoric for the president, he will prove it by funding family planning,” she added, according to the Guardian. The Summit is co-hosted by the Gates Foundation, the U.K. Department for International Development, and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The Summit’s website says it is also in “close partnership with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Global Affairs Canada.” http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...mily-planning-counter-trumps-pro-life-policy/
Yes, they are courageous and I hope on fire for their Lord. If they are Christians they must know of what is coming however and with history as their guide I would think would have a very clear understanding of the methods of the Turks against Christians and other races when there is no one to hold them in check. If they do not leave they will surely have to remove themselves from the populated areas and hide for a time while this all plays out. Thanks for the link to that thread Carol the video was very good. Yes, I would say that he was speaking of naval territorial zones. Probably ones which are declared by Greece as not being crossed by foreign powers or something of the such. If Turkey were to breech these lines it would be a clear sign of their intent into Greece and inevitably Eastern Europe which they see as weak and crumbling under democracy run completely amuck. I think that the Elder has a much better grasp on these things than our Western minds have had making sense of them. There was no West when these original visions took place and our thinking on these matters is very different than those of the East. Daniel speaks of this antichrist power which will rise up and will fight against the most powerful fortresses after all, meaning that it will NOT be the most powerful military in the world but will rise up against them. Ultimately to be destroyed for good.
Yep, I saw this the other day and thought to myself here is antichrist hard at work. Feigning their deeply troubled feelings about world overpopulation and an administration which is not abiding by its genocidal plans to remake the world in the image of man. Feigning their disbelief that this administration would somehow refuse to further fund their fantasy of "empowering women" by their evil plans and agenda to enslave them to a culture of destruction. WORK SETS YOU FREE!
Don_D, Saint Paisios of Mount Athos was born in 1924 and died in 1994, so not that long ago. It is my opinion that Erdogan is not the AC spoken of in the Book or Revelation but he is an enemy of Christ, that is for sure. Of course, I could be wrong but I don't believe so. I updated my above post to include more recent tensions between Greece and Turkey which occurred in 2016/2017 in relation to the failed Turkish coup in 2016. In relation to this region of the world, Alois Irlmaier speaks of some murders occurring in the Balkans (he believes) which ignite a war. http://www.crystalinks.com/irlmaier.html
Just to clarify: Charlie Gard (and his parents) hasn't been granted American citizenship; provided the parents provide the proper documentation to the American Embassy, they have been granted permanent residency. IOW, they would be legal permanent residents, the first step to becoming a citizen. I don't think it will help that much. If the Congress should unite and vote to grant Charlie citizenship, the American govt. might have a dog in this fight (dealing with the care of an American citizen and all) but the entire purpose of this process is showing that he who pays the piper calls the tune. The State runs the National Health Service, and as a result they, not the parents, have the final say in the child's treatment. It's one reason why I oppose a single-payer system in the US.
Oh yes I know he was, I was also referring to St John's visions. I should have been more clear. I have no idea if Erdogan is the AC although I have considered that he very well may be. I firmly believe that this resurrection of Ottomanism is a spirit of AC without a doubt. Much like the spirit of geneticism, nationalism, population control, abortion, gay marriage, transgenderism, divorce, etc that has swept across our lands. These are all things which place man in the seat of God. The difference and significance with Turkey however is apparent. I do think that at some point in the not too distant future that Erdogan will decree himself Caliph over all of Islam and he is even now acting in this role. Caliph may very well may be a rest stop to his true intentions. The rest of the world is just yet to find this out. He has been a staunch anti secularist from the very beginning, with his key advisors all being anti secularist as well. Appealing via billboards and ads to be a light to Islam. Often showing him reading a Koran. Daniel tells us that AC will be a man who does not honor the Gods of his Fathers but instead worships the God of fortresses or war. I hold no illusions that his giving lip service to both secularism and democracy and Islam while in his rise could not also serve to be his feelings for all religions as well. A useful tool and nothing more. After the drama of the coup unfolded and he successfully changed the constitution of Turkey to consolidate his power he immediately went to the tomb of Selim I and unveiled the diadem (the silk turban of Salem I) signifying the resurrection of Ottomanism. This is pretty darn significant. Selim I was the tenth horn (king) with a diadem. Erdogan wants to proclaim that he is the rightful owner, being the eleventh and by this he proclaims to be the ruler of the seven regions (heads) of Turkey and by that fulfills John’s Revelation 13. Erdogon has revealed in the past his fascination with Jalal al-Din Rumi a Sufi Islamic mystic. One who reveals that via Fana a man can declare himself to be God. I know of no other religion that a man can declare himself as God and one which holds power that can enable one to declare to be worshipped as God as well. I am aware of only one religion which believes this. Islam. Which St Paul warned us about. That the AC who as God sits in the Temple and declares himself to be God. Time will tell but I would not discount Erdogan.
