The New Ottoman Empire

[Brother Ben]

Adnan Oktar, of Turkey is proposing a New Islamic Empire lead by Turkey, home of the former Ottoman Empire. We often equate Rome as "The City on Seven Hills," when thinking of Babylon the Great, but did you know that Istanbul is also "The City of Seven Hills?"

Also, modern scholars have scoffed for years about the practice of beheading during the Tribulation. In light of our conflict with Islamic extremism, who is doing the beheading these days?
Could Islam be the global religion antichrist uses?

Just some concepts to consider.

Absolutely Fascinating Bro Ben!

Wow! New Islamic Empire...thats creepy.

That is an exciting thought about Istanbul also being called..."The City of Seven Hills?"

Quote: modern scholars have scoffed for years about the practice of beheading during the Tribulation. I have thought reciently.... that the Muslims behead, and that as they grow stronger across the world, that they will demand that christians renounce Christ and accept ISLAM, or they will behead us. That's very realistic since they do behead, and murder Christians in other countries.

Thank you for these two thoughts. Very Interesting!

Bro. Ben, I am SO GLAD that you have brought this topic up. I have been reading Walid Shoebat's book "God's War on Terror, Islam Prophecy, and the Bible". Walid was a terrorist and is now a born again believer who is trying desperately to get the word out to people. I highly recommend this book to everyone who wants to understand the dangers of Islam. What you said in your posting, confirms what Walid says in his book. Also, in Revelation, it talks about the "head wound" and how the antichrist will come back to life. The caliphate was the "head" in Islam during the Ottoman Empire. That "head" is now coming back to life in the new revived Islamic empire. They are talking of "reviving" the "head" (the caliphate). Many believe and are taught that Russia will be the one who goes into war against Israel simply because it is in the north. But as Walid goes into great detail in his book, TURKEY is north of Israel and it will be those coalition of powers that invade Israel.

Again, I HIGHLY recommend Walid's book. Since he WAS muslim, a terrorist, and knows the Quran, you will get Islamic perspective and knowledge. The Islamic "messiah" is the Christian's "antichrist'. Walid goes into great detail on all of this. His website is www.shoebat.com. You can order the book from his website.

We truly are living in the last days before our Lord returns. Just seeing what is happening here in our own country is enough to make people question what is going on.

What a precarious position the believer is in. To see the grievous nature of Islamic extremism, and to love those who are in that system. Truely the Lord has challenged us to:

Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Mat 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

We need to know the times we are living in, warn those around us about the nature of this extremism, and yet exude the very essence of Christ in our lives to those God has brought to our lands. Perhaps God will save some more Walid Shoebats.

Dear quiltmaker,

That is absolutely fascinating! I believe it! It will be interesting to see how things will unfold. I'd like to read that book.
