Turkey’s ancient church buildings –some of which pre-date Islam– have been managed, historically, by church foundations. Erdogan just confiscated them to redesign them into Muslim Ottoman style mosques. Erdogan last week also just took control of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation from Egypt which represents the body of 57 Muslim states. He called the OIC to create a Muslim union and to initiate an international Muslim Police to go after Islamophobia (that would be people like us). He is also passing a new bill that will allow him to finally gain his full control of Turkey.
Things are getting closer than I thought. So lets start.
Erdogan is taking advantage of the 10 months of urban conflict between Turks and Kurds and as an excuse to rebuild and restore the historical centre of the region’s largest city, Diyarbakir, Erdogan’s government decided to expropriate huge sections of property which includes especially the only few Christian churches there. The plan of course is to redesign everything into Muslim Ottoman style construction and wipe all facades of Christian civilization in that land.
Turkey’s “urgent expropriation” of 6,300 plots of land in the Sur district included six churches which are now under “state control”: the Virgin Mary Syriac Orthodox Church, the Surp (Armenian for “Saint”) Sarkis Chaldean Catholic Church, the Diyarbakir Protestant Church, the Apostolic Armenian Surp Giragos Church, an Armenian Catholic church, and the Mar Petyun Chaldean Catholic Church.
And just to give you an example of the significance of these churches, the Virgin Mary Syriac Orthodox Church is 1,700 years old, which stood in Turkey over a millennia before Muhammad’s carcass rotted in Mecca.
The 1,700-year-old Virgin Mary Syriac Orthodox Church in Diyarbakir was one of the churches seized.
And the world says nothing!
Things are moving fast for a complete Islamist control in Turkey. In fact one bill was proposed last week on April 12 and it has the support of all 316 ruling Justice and Development AKP Party. By this bill, under “combatting terrorism,” the Turkish government will be able to accuse the HDP Kurdish party of being a political front for the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and by this Erdogan will be able to scoop their seats in the parliament and gain the seats he needs to bend the constitution and announce himself sole ruler of Turkey. Once the bill passes, it is all over and you will be writing me asking how to count heads and horns.
There are 550 deputies in Turkey’s parliament, the AKP has 317 seats, followed by the CHP with 133 seats. The HDP and the MHP have 59 and 40 seats, respectively. Experts estimate that Erdogan will get sufficient votes to make the constitutional change.
On April 5th, we told you this was coming and now it is here and the Christians of Turkey have no one to lament to. This is relevant to the prophecies we’ve been warning you about. During all these clashes between Turkish armed forces and Kurdish militants in recent months has become the punishment of Christians at the Sur district of Diyarbakir. There will be no more communion services. So what we told you about the Antichrist plan on January 17th, the day I said I crossed the Tiber, is beginning to spark.
It was Turkey’s MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli who said regarding Sur (where these churches are): “level it to the ground and leave nobody alive. Do not let our martyrs’ blood remain on the ground” speaking of the Kurds, but this includes also the Christians. Massacres are not far off, they will first come to the Kurd and then the Christian.
“Let us show Sweden, Scandinavia and Europe what Turkey stands for. We do not like blood, but we can let the blood flow when it is needed”.
And there is even more, Erdogan last week took over the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) which represents all Muslim nations and gave a speech saying that “in [Muslim] unity there lays our strength”. He called on constructing an international “Muslim Police” centered in Istanbul. What Erdogan is looking to do is to create a Muslim Interpol and also is creating a Muslim ‘U.N’ which comes second to the United Nations in size and global power. The goal Erdogan said is “to defend Muslim minorities globally from Islamophobia”. This would mean applying serious pressure on free speech and shut down critique of Islam.
The 13th summit of the organisation, whose chair taken from Egypt by Turkey for the next two years, hoped to increase unity and solidarity between Muslim countries against what Erdogan calls “terrorism”, that is defined as anyone who goes against Erdogan’s plans.
Erdogan chaired the final session and said the Palestine Declaration once again proves the support to Palestine by the Muslim countries: “The Palestine Declaration that we have accepted is once again the highest level proof and expression of the support given by Islamic world to our Palestinian brothers in their honorable resistance”.
“We have never left alone our Palestinian brothers so far,” he said.
“Insha Allah [Allah willing] we are never going to leave them on their own.”
In other words, what he is saying is that the roots of the Israel-Palestine conflict which dates back to 1917 when the Ottoman’s lost Palestine and Erdogan now wants Jerusalem back.
When Muslims like Cavusoglu above tweets and says “Justice,” it means “Muslim Justice,” and when they say “Peace” they mean “peace comes only when Muslim Justice is applied”. Get it?
And when it comes to the fate of the Kurds and Christians, we warned you of Davutoğlu’s controversial redevelopment plan in Diyarbakir where this son of satan unveiled a video depicting a lavish plan for the redevelopment of Sur that will wipe out all the Kurdish, Roman and Christian heritage in exchange for Ottoman:
And while Erdogan lavishes in palaces in Istanbul with German Chancellor Angela Merkel “pitching his royal tents between two seas” (Dan 11:45), Davutoglo as the Himmler enters Diyarbakır (Sur) with the sound of ululation from women and chants of Islamist support from Muslim men as he plans his soon-to-be massacres.
These churches Erdogan is destroying are not the empty shells you have in Europe. They are alive and vibrant. Worshippers celebrated the reconsecration of the Surp Giragos Armenian Apostolic Church in 2011, after it had fallen into serious disrepair. It once served as the metropolitan cathedral of Diyarbakir and now its no more, confiscated by Antichrist.
Well over a million of these ethnic Christians were massacred and sent on death marches during the final years of the Ottoman Empire at the beginning of the 20th century and now they simply want to wipe out what is left, this way there will be no trace to what Herod did in “Ramah, great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
When we read the Psalms on the destruction of the Temple and the synagogues in Jerusalem by Antiochus, most do not realize this is also a long-term fulfillment. The Psalms describe “with axes” “they [now the Muslims] have defiled the dwelling place of thy name on the earth. They [the Muslims] said in their heart, the whole kindred of them together: Let us abolish all the festival days of God from the land [no more Communion]. Our signs [crosses, icons] we have not seen … How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach: is the adversary to provoke thy name for ever?”
Erdogan wants to mimmic Sultan Mehmed who adopted the imperial title Kayser-i-Rûm “Caesar of Rome” of the eastern Roman empire and will bring in the system that will desecrate the Eucharist.
It was only a couple months ago when church salaries were changed from being funded by the congregants to now being fully controlled by the Diyanet (Muslim religious authority in Turkey) as news confirm. Pretty soon Turkey will begin planting their puppets in churches who will keep a lid on all the persecutions as it was in history when Scholarius was a staunch antagonist of the West and the Catholic Church and was enthroned as the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople-New Rome by the Sultan himself in 1454 A.D. In turn Gennadius II recognized Mehmed the Conqueror as successor to the throne. This is giving allegiance to Antichrist.
Mehmed also had a blood lineage to the Byzantine Imperial family; his predecessor, Sultan Orhan I had married a Byzantine princess, and Mehmed claimed descent from John Tzelepes Komnenos.
And like Komnenos, Erdogan’s origin is from Christian Georgia, and like Mehemd the Conqueror, as Daniel predicted “he will not honor the God of his fathers” (the Christian God) and instead he will honor “a [singular] God [Allah]” a “god of fortresses” (war and castles), exactly as we see Erdogan already doing.
Antichrist after another Antichrist, Erdogan will soon begin to either remove the churches or control them to abide by his new Caliphate system.
It is Antiochus all over again. But are the Maccabees within sight?
Today all we have is the Sanhedrin of Rome (the Vatican) discussing how to reverse theology on Christian militarism and then we have the other lazy side who says “its not about church buildings. Jesus will do it all. Just turn the other cheek” and then we have the Church Militant, the love of my heart.
The lazy, of course, will call for peace, until the terrorists defile one of their ‘secular’ national monuments and only then the lazy will instantly scream out for blood.
For how long O Lord must we endure the hypocrite, the backbiting slanderers, the persecutors and the cowards? Lord have mercy.
Christus Vincit.
