Walid Shoebat has been saying for years now Erdogan is the Antichrist and Turkey will be the center of a new caliphate.
This doesn’t hurt his argument any, that is for sure.
Erdogan has been following the Hitler playbook to a “T”.
Some descriptive verses of the AC.
Isa 10:24
Isa 14:25
Isa 23:13
Isa 30:31
Isa 31:8
Isa 52:4 is a type and shadow of the end days by using the oppression of the Jews in Egypt as an example. Joseph was worshiped in Egypt as a shadow of Christ, but Egypt "forgot" Joseph during the rein of Pharaoh from Assyria, and put them in chains.
Mic 5:5-6
Zech 11:17 gives a physical description.
Dan 8:23-25 more description.
Dan 11:37-45 says he doesn't like women, honors armies as power, probably controls the wealth in the ME.
Many watch carefully the progress of evil in the ME, but having Turkey turn to the next caliphate with nukes would mean a quantum leap time wise for the Tribulation. 30-50 k ISIS for 50-70 million ISIS overnight would leap years into the future in a very short time.
