The Muslim Brotherhood just made a coup and now the Muslim Brotherhood is the most powerful army in NATO after the United States? Most will laugh this off saying “are you kidding me”?
But you heard it right. This is no conspiracy theory.
In the Middle East, everyone is talking about how the Muslim Brotherhood just became the most powerful entity in the Muslim world. It is now even part of NATO controlling its second most powerful army after the United States.
All this happened this week.
The Muslim Brotherhood has now re-emerged from the dead after receiving a deadly wound by the famous Egyptian coup d’état on July 3rd 2013 when Egyptian army chief General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi led a coalition to remove the only democratically elected President of Egypt, Mohamed Morsi, from power suspending the Egyptian constitution.
Now the Muslim Brotherhood re-emerged via another coup d’état dubbed as The Palace Coup. This one was orchestrated by Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey who is reviving the same style Muslim Brotherhood constitution through his referendum of Turkey’s constitution.
The Muslim Brotherhood will soon reconquer Egypt after it revives as the eleventh little horn. This revival will happen in 18 months from now and will stem from Turkey.
Yet the sleepy western analysts like the New York Times describe what just happened in Turkey in western style imagery as “Erdogan’s autocratic style” takeover. Erdogan, they say became like “The Godfather” or likened to “President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia for his authoritarian style and his ability to keep winning elections while eroding the quality of Turkey’s democratic institutions”.
No stupid.
Erdogan by his ‘palace coup’ is completely reshaping his political system into an Islamic Caliphate. Instead of reading the western headlines, try reading Middle Eastern sources that reveal the full story you never hear in the West. So lets start:
It all started in what the Middle East dubs as The Palace Coup. Erdogan from his palace in Ankara ousted the most powerful Muslim ruler in the world, the Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu. Davutoğlu was the boss and Erdogan was constitutionally a symbolic figure. The Palace Coup is a story on how the figure became the supreme. Erdogan now became the ruler catapulting himself to become Sultan, the Muslim Brotherhood, the AK Party and even Turkey itself. It matters not if you read it from right to left or from left to right, it is all the same: Turkey is Erdogan and now the Muslim Brotherhood waxed into becoming Turkey which holds the second most powerful army in NATO after the United States.
So how did this happen?
A week before the fallout between Erdogan and Davutoğlu there was a firey letter sent by Davutoğlu’s counselor, Umar Korqmaz to the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood in Turkey.
The letter, as it turns out, was the end of Davutoğlu which made Erdogan “cease the power by intrigue”.
Korqmaz acting as Davutoğlu’s counselor warned the Brotherhood to stop their global outreach from Turkey to even go publicly on TV mocking the Muslim Brotherhood saying: “they [the Muslim Brotherhood] failed to establish the Caliphate through democracy in Egypt and now they have come to Turkey to make our democracy fail?”
The message from Korqmaz sparked jubilation in secular Egypt where the media there declared that “Turkey finally turned on the Muslim Brotherhood”.
But the issue was no small issue for Erdogan who loves the Brotherhood.
This whole fiasco began when the Muslim Brotherhood had a three day major festival sanctioned by Erdogan titled Shukran Turkie (Thanks Turkey). It was a global advertisement for Erdogan showing how Muslims across the globe thanked Erdogan as their savior who aided Syrian immigrants and defended the cause of Gaza and Jerusalem. The slogan “Thanks Turkey” was advertised throughout the Muslims world by public events reaching all the way to Canada.
Canada: Arabs and Muslims gathered with Syrian, Canadian and Turkish flags to celebrate “Thanks Turkey”
It was the type of a grand finale Erdogan desired to send a message to the Muslim world that he is Sultan-Caliph deserving thanks and praises as the defender and champion of Islam.
The major event started a couple weeks ago (April 21) and went on for three straight days of festivities as if it was offered by the Muslim Brotherhood leaders who in turn gathered the top Islamist leaders from various parts of the Muslim spheres. It was a day of ‘Erdogan worship’. It was sort of like when “King Nebuchadnezzar summoned the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials to come to the dedication of the image he had set up …” (Daniel 3:2)
In the festival, the spiritual head of the Muslim Brotherhood, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi gave a fiery sermon speaking on how they must revive the image and banner of the Ottomans and how no one can make war with the giant of Islam and how through Islam “Turkey’s might will conquer the rest of the nations”.
“You will only subdue all nations through this religion [Islam]” said Qaradawi adding “you will revive, you will revive”. “The Muslim world is more than what they claim” said Qaradawi adding that “there are 1.7 billion Muslims”. He went on sharing how a dead history is reviving and on how Ottoman Sultans were the best defenders of Islam and now with 1.7 billion Muslims now they should give allegiance to whom he called “Sultan Erdogan”.
Throughout his speech Qaradawi uttered words that could only come out of the pages of John’s Revelations. The Tunisian Telegraph shared his statement which summarized it all:
“Who can make war with Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan? He became the Muslim world’s defender fighting in the name of Islam and the Koran and Sharia. He speaks standing firm in the faces of tyrants to tell them NO!”
ومن الذي يستطيع أن يقاوم السلطان رجب طيب أردوغان، الذي أصبح يدافع عن الأمة باسم الإسلام والقرآن والسنة والشريعة الذي يتحدث بالوقوف أمام الوجوه الطاغية، ليقول لهم لا
Perhaps this should ring a bell: “Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
Perusing through the three day conference, it opens with declaring Turkey “the capital of the Muslim world” all with fiery speeches from Hamas’ Khaled Mashal to songs about a one world Muslim Caliphate centered in Turkey.
Al-Arabiya a main Arabic news media correctly summed it all up:
The “Thank you Turkey” conference at the end of April which was observed by Brotherhood leaders from all Arab and Islamic nations effected in raising the pillar of the Muslim Brotherhood dream. It fulfilled Erdogan’s dreams to return the Caliphate which is a dear goal of Erdogan. It accompanied the necessity to change the constitution towards a presidential system and the slow minimization from the Ataturkian secularism”
The Muslim Brotherhood wield more than just the power to stir millions of Muslims towards Erdogan. A new study reveals that over half the leaders of all 49 Muslim terror organizations are members of the Muslim Brotherhood. From Iraq to Somalia and from Afghanistan to Syria, this is true, regardless if the terror entity was ISIS, Al-Qaeda or Al-Nusra … 51% are members of the Muslim Brotherhood and 65% were released from prison.
Besides the need for global Jihadists, Erdogan needs the Muslim Brotherhood, for without it he will never gain the scholarly support which represents the moral and legal justification from Sharia to gain the support that Erdogan needs to become Caliph.
Erdogan was angered and let Davutoğlu go. He saw Davutoğlu’s actions against the Muslim Brotherhood as the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
Now the Muslim Brotherhood has the second most powerful army in the world behind them with NATO power as well.
Yet the sleepy western analysts like the New York Times describe what just happened in Turkey in western style imagery as “Erdogan’s autocratic style” takeover. Erdogan, they say became like “The Godfather” or likened to “President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia for his authoritarian style and his ability to keep winning elections while eroding the quality of Turkey’s democratic institutions”.
No stupid.
Erdogan by his ‘palace coup’ is completely reshaping his political system into an Islamic Caliphate.
Can anyone deny that Erdogan already has everything in place for a Caliphate? He has a Fatwa-giver, Hayrettin Karaman and also the Diyanet which was already established in 1924 “to execute the works concerning the beliefs, worship, and ethics of Islam”?
Did not Erdogan re-activate these and was the pillar in spreading mosques throughout the globe?
Was it not Karaman who declared his new design for the Caliphate saying that Erdogan will soon become the Caliph for all Muslims? Here are his exact words:
“During the debate on the presidential system, here is what everyone must do so while taking into account the direction of the world’s national interest and the future of the country and not focus on the party or a particular person. What this [presidential system] looks like is the Islamic caliphate system in terms of its mechanism. In this system the people choose the leader, the Prince, and then all will pledge the Bay’ah [allegiance] and then the chosen president appoints the high government bureaucracy and he cannot interfere in the judiciary where the Committee will audit legislation independent of the president. ” Hayrettin Karaman
Is Karaman, Turkey’s Fatwa giver, simply ignorant of how Sharia works or how a Caliph is appointed or how a Caliphate constitution is designed and is carried out?
Isn’t Bay’at, as Islam calls it, which is “giving allegiance,” is the hallmark of the Antichrist as John declared: “but the fatal wound was healed! The whole world marveled at this miracle and gave allegiance to the beast” (Revelation 13:3).
Does this face not qualify to be “king of fierce countenance” (Daniel 8:23)?
How aout this one for demonic possession?
Instead of Davutoğlu, Erdogan will appoint his Muslim Vizier where Erdogan becomes Ameer al-Mumineen (أمير المؤمنين) “Prince of the Faithful”.
“The Prince,” is exactly what Daniel 9:26 predicted. He will be the “prince of the power of the air” (Eph 2:2).
I have for years told the world that Erdogan will defy all expectations, as a cat with nine lives. No one believed me. So what are the chances here, that when I was told it was the end of his party when he did not win a majority in the election before last?
I told the world “just wait”. Erdogan then refused to enter into a coalition government as Ahmet Davutoğlu asked. Erdogan instead decided to enter an early election in which he obtained the majority he wanted. My claims were then vindicated. But Erdogan remained the second man as Davutoğlu was Prime Minister. But now this Erdogan defied most expectations and took the power by intrigue.
Erdogan then turned on Davutoğlu when the latter finally sent a letter threatening the very Muslim Brotherhood which Erdogan is member of. And before that Davutoğlu wanted to lift the parliamentary immunity of 80 corrupt deputies in the ruling party as a prelude to bringing them to trial on charges of corruption. Many of these deputes were Erdogan’s allies, even Erdogan himself was mired in corruption.
These issues spell out what really happened.
Erdogan strongly objected because of whom a large proportion of the 80 were close to him. And now, this step by Davutoğlu to undermine the Muslim Brotherhood, it was the spark of the crisis of confidence between the two men where Erdogan finally struck the last nail in Davutoğlu’s coffin.
The next two years will be more Bible Prophecies sparking out of the pages of Daniel and John.
New years on 2016 we said that the next two years will be crucial. Erdogan’s new gamble begins and within 18 months we will see his third round of elections. And with his influence on Europe including his control in the Muslim world, we have us the best candidate for an Antichrist Beast.
A decade or so ago we wrote insisting that Turkey’s future will face the following:
“He [Antichrist] will speak against the Most High and oppress the saints and try to change the set times and the laws.” (Daniel 7:25) In this passage, we find an important clue; for by his actions, we can assess his origin. Not knowing how to deal with this piece of the puzzle, many students of Bible prophecy have speculated that the Antichrist will try to change cosmic laws. But the text infers no such thing. It simply says that he will desire to change two things: times (the accepted world calendar) and laws. If we simply take the text at its face value, we find a simple warning that the Antichrist will attempt to change the times (calendar), legal systems, and constitutions. (GWOT, page 85)
Isn’t what we said years ago now is exactly happening with the Turkish constitution? And why we insisted that Erdogan will rise from his end was simple. The “he” in Daniel 11 (and no matter where one puts the break from Antiochus to Antichrist) there is simply no break, whoever changes these laws is the man. The man who changes these “set laws” will be the same “he” (the same man) who continues to the end. People put breaks where there are none, yet they fail to see where the breaks do exist. Pay close attention:
“[Daniel says] He [the angel] gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.”
The “ten horns” of the fourth beast is the seven Muslim Caliphates represented through the succession of 10 kings from the Rashidun Caliphate to the Ottoman where the empire continued for 1260 lunar years from the sixth century until Islam was finally bruised in the 19th century. If our interpretation is correct and Erdogan is the man, he is the 11th king, the little horn who comes “after them”. He is the little horn because his span is only seven years from when he is inaugurated as Caliph where he commences to enter Europe by his flood (of immigrants) “proceeding out of the dragon’s mouth”. This will be the greatest turmoil effecting mostly Europe. It is that or Erdogan goes after the 10 kings he established are elected and another appears after them. We shall see. I am not an island in my interpretations, a feeble man who errs at times and repents more.
To understand all this you might want to spend a day and become a scholar of history and Bible Prophecy by visiting or re-visiting: The Most Fascinating Bible Prophecy Reveals The Muslim Caliphate Will Revive And Invade Europe But God Intervenes With Plagues And Swarming Locusts And Defeats Them.
And let me tell you none are scholars. Indeed, this is the greatest time to live. To me it is like when Moses asked God to speak to the people where the people were frightened yet Moses thrived.
In the Middle East the secularists are all crying out that Erdogan is rebuilding the Ottoman “Caliphate” by initially commingling democracy with Sufi Islam while the sleepy West fails to monitor our Arabic headlines which is perceived by the sleepy West as ‘moderate Islam’.
The dispute with Davutoğlu was not that he moved away from the general line of the Muslim Brotherhood per se, or did he migrate to the opposite camp of Ataturk, or the leftist, or otherwise … No.
From Erdogan’s perspective Davutoğlu was simply not Muslim Brotherhood enough, a man who wanted to exercise his legitimate authority over Erdogan which he was legally entitled. He was the obstacle just as it was when he ousted Abdullah Gul and Fethullah Gulen before him.
And just today, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced that there is no turning back from a presidential system in his address during a mass opening ceremony, a day after Prime Minister Davutoğlu announced he would leave his post following the rift with Erdoğan.
“At this point, there is no turning back. Everybody should accept this by now,” Erdoğan said during a speech at the inauguration ceremony in Istanbul’s Eyüp district today on May 6.
Through his palace, and by his coup, the Muslim Brotherhood through Erdogan has now catapulted to becoming the ultimate ruler of the most powerful Muslim country in the world.
Things are moving just a little faster than I had previously thought and the symphony begins:
