The turmoil in Turkey is getting much worse following the failed coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and what many are failing to realize is that Turkey as we have known it no longer exists.
President Erdogan has arrested thousands of people suspected of playing even a minor role in the rebellion, even children who were given fake guns have been arrested and it appears that, even though his government is denying it, the law has been suspended.
Turkey, I believe, is being transformed into a dictatorial Islamic state that no longer will operate under the moderate constitutional government we have come to know but return to its pre World War I role as the hub of the Islamic world.
This must occur to set the stage for the last days part that Turkey plays according to biblical prophecy. While modern scholars of the last few decades have been predicting the rise of a revived Roman empire, scholars for thousands of years have understood that according to Daniel and the Revelation given to John, it is Turkey that will play a central part in world affairs during the last days before the return of Jesus.
Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the caliphate in the 1920’s, the Turkish government was designed to be secular with checks and balances to include having the military remove Islamist leaders that might arise.
It worked for the better part of the 20th century but a plan was hatched by Islamic preacher Fethullah Gulen to have an internal coup that would slowly infiltrate the government and change it from within.
Gulen is quoted as saying, “You must move within the arteries of the system, without anyone noticing your existence, until you reach all the power centers… You must wait until such time as you have got all the state power, until you have brought to your side all the power of the constitutional institution in Turkey.”
It is interesting to note that President Erdogan aligned himself with Gulen to do just that, while Erdogan now wants to have Gulen extradited for treason to further ensure loyalty from the very people that elected him.
President Erdogan was prepared for the coup as evidenced by his removing some 3,000 judges from the bench within hours of the uprising and another 10,000 government and military members arrested or fired. The government has been fundamentally transformed from secular to Islamic practically overnight.
This is reminiscent of the rise of Adolf Hitler, a type of anti-Christ, when he used the infamous Reichstag fire to clear the German government of opposition. Many observers are praising the squashing of the coup as a victory for democracy when really Turkey has just become a totalitarian dictatorship and before too long we will see the return of the Caliph after a fatal head wound.
