Erdogan is the Antichrist!
Erdogan is the Antichrist!
Antichrist overview
By Craig C. White
https://www.spreaker.com/embed/player/standard?episode_id=8068206&autoplay=false
Lately Turkish President Erdogan has been claiming to be god! According to the Bible that is something that the Antichrist will do.
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Turkish President Erdogan has also announced his plans to form of a new Islamic Union led by Turkey. Erdogan has made his desire to reestablish the Turkish ruled Ottoman Empire very clear. Erdogan has also vowed that he will remove Syrian President Bashar Assad from power in Damascus. Erdogan has also vowed to reinstate Muslim Brotherhood Presidential candidate Mohamed Morsi back into power in Egypt. These are all things that the Bible tells us that the Antichrist will do.
The Antichrist will do many other things. So will Erdogan. Turkish President Erdogan is the Antichrist. Here is why, and here is why the Antichrist will destroy Damascus and then invade Israel!
First the Antichrist is called the Assyrian (Isaiah 10 and elsewhere) because he will do the same things that the Assyrian kings did! The Assyrian Kings led two separate invasions into Israel. First they invaded Syria plus northern Israel in 734 BC. Second they invaded southern Israel in 701 BC.
You would probably say that Isaiah 17 is about the future destruction of Damascus, and you would be right. But Isaiah 17 is foremost about the conquest of the country of Syria in 734 BC by you know who: The Assyrian King Tiglath-pileser! This is a model for the future destruction of Damascus.
For verse by verse commentary through Isaiah chapter 17 please read my commentary Isaiah 17 predicts the destruction of Damascus.
The verses below describe the second Assyrian invasion of Israel. They also describe the future invasion of Israel by the Antichrist. Guess what? He (they) is bragging about his previous conquest of Syria!
Isaiah 10:7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few. 8 For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings? 9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus? 10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria; 11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
Assyrian King Sennacherib is speaking here. So is the future invader of Israel. He is recalling previous victories over Syria and northern Israel.
For more please read my commentary The Assyrian is the Antichrist!
Second Magog is the Antichrist and Erdogan is Magog! Ezekiel 38:2-3 calls Magog the “chief prince” amongst his brothers. The Hebrew words mean “primary governor”. Magog’s brothers settled Turkey and were set over provinces. Most Bible prophecy teachers place them there. Magog was also set over a province in Turkey. He was the most prominent prince amongst his brothers. So the end time Magog is the “primary governor” of Turkey. I feel comfortable in calling him the Prime Minister of Turkey don’t you!?
Eze 38:1-3 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
To learn more about the identity of Magog please read my commentary The Princes of Turkey
According to Ezekiel 38 & 39 Magog leads two end time invasions into Israel. Ezekiel 38 describes a Turkish led battle joined by Iran, Libya, and Sudan. Ezekiel 39 obviously describes the battle of Armageddon. So if Magog leads the battle described in Ezekiel 39, and the Antichrist leads the battle of Armageddon then Magog is the Antichrist. Let’s not forget that these two invasions are modeled after the Assyrian invasions. The first started with an invasion into Syria followed by an invasion into northern Israel. The second Assyrian invasion was into southern Israel. What’s the point of knowing that the Antichrist is called the Assyrian if we are just going to forget? The Antichrist will invade Syria plus northern Israel then come back latter to invade southern Israel. These are the battles of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38 and 39.
For more about the people and places involved in the battle of Gog and Magog please read my commentary Magog Made Easier!
The Antichrist is also called a “prince” and “a little horn”. Magog is called the “chief prince”. If a big horn is a King, then a little horn is a prince! A Prime Minister is a “chief prince”! Now Turkish President Erdogan was Prime Minister of Turkey from 2002 to December 2014!
For more please read my commentary The Antichrist is a Prince
Third Libya, Iran, and Sudan are all fighting in Syria today! This is a list of the nations that the primary governor of Turkey will lead in an invasion into Israel according to Ezekiel 38:5!
Ezekiel 38:5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
So Erdogan will invade Syria, destroy Damascus, and then lead these armies in an Invasion into northern Israel. The invasion ito northern Israel will not go well. Some sort of 7 year peace plan will be put into place with Israel. Erdogan will break this treaty in the midst of its term. Then welcome to the Tribulation. Somewhere along this timeline Jesus Christ will come back for his Church. I am going with him.
For more please read my commentary Who is fighting in Syria?
Fourth Turkish President Erdogan is honoring the military might of the Turkish led Ottoman Empire in his new palace (see Daniel 11:37-38 below). The Erdogan palace is the largest palace in the world. Erdogan has dedicated his palace to the resurgence of Turkey as a world power as he proudly displays soldiers dressed in Ottoman era armor. By the way President Erdogan has publicly announced his intention to reestablish a Turkish led Islamic Empire!
Daniel 11:37-38 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Please read Erdogan is honoring the God of forces in the Erdogan Palace
The Prophet Daniel says that the Antichrist will lead Libya and Sudan into Egypt. The Antichrist will invade Egypt by many ships (Dan 11:40). Turkey is located three hundred miles across the Mediterranean Sea from Egypt. Turkey has already began building massive naval personnel carriers. Erdogan has vowed to reinstate Muslim Brotherhood Presidential candidate Mohamed Morsi back into power in Egypt! Erdogan says that he wants to be ready to invade Egypt by 2019. This event happens during the Tribulation period!
Dan 11:42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
Please read Egypt’s Evil President Morsi will be reinstated!
Erdogan is the Antichrist. He will be the ruler of the next World Empire. Jesus Christ will destroy it at his second coming. Before that Jesus Christ is coming to take his Church away to heaven. That means that Jesus is coming back very very soon!
Rev 22:20-21 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
It’s High Time to Awake. The Antichrist is identifiable now! The Tribulation is fast approaching. Jesus is coming for his Church very soon. It’s time to dig in and read my many Bible commentaries about the Antichrist and the end times. God bless you, Craig C. White

Race for Al-Bab
Race for Al-Bab
Turks and Kurds set to clash
By Craig C. White
Turkish and Al-Qaeda forces are racing US backed Kurdish forces to Al-Bab in northern Syria. ISIS has already retreated from Al-Bab.
Jeremiah 49:23 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
Jeremiah says that after Hamah and Tell Rifaat (Arpad) hear evil reports of a coming invasion then the residents of Damascus flee and Damascus is destroyed. Al-Bab is located 30 miles east of Tell Rifaat. Jeremiah’s prophecy is inching closer.

Don’t be left in the dark about the most important Bible prophecy of our time!
EZEKIEL 38:5 IS BEING FULFILLED IN SYRIA!
By Craig C. White
Ezekiel 38:5 lists three nations that Turkey will lead in an invasion into Israel. They are Iran, Sudan, and Libya.
Ezekiel 38:5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
Right now these nations are beginning to gather on the Golan Heights of Syria. Fighting against Israel has already begun. I think that after Turkey invades Syria and besieges its capital city of Damascus that Turkey will lead these nations into the Golan Heights of Israel!
It’s High Time to study! I recommend reading two of my books. The complete guide to Syria in end time Bible Prophecy and Turkey invades Israel – Halfway to Armageddon. They contain a comprehensive collection of my commentaries on the subjects of Syria and the Turkish led invasion into Israel.

Turkey will conquer Syria
Ceasefire Schmesefire
Turkey will conquer Syria
By Craig C. White
We are being lied to about Turkey’s involvement in Syria. We were told that Turkey was going into Syria to fight ISIS. One day latter we were told that ISIS had been removed from the northwestern Syria border. Zero ISIS casualties were reported. In the meantime many Syrian Kurds have been killed by the Turkish led forces.
The last that I heard, about six hundred Turkish troops with tanks are leading 1,600 foreign Al-Qaeda rebels in Syria. ISIS is Al-Qaeda from northern Iraq. It has been reported that ISIS has joined the Turkish supported Al-Qaeda forces that are fighting in Syria. The Turkish Army is now advancing on the Kurdish town of Kobani. I suspect that Turkey will hand Kobani over to ISIS. Read my commentary titled Will Mosul fall after Kobani?
Turkey, Saudi Arabia, NATO, the EU, and the US have all been making deals with Russia concerning Syria. The Turkish Army has entered the sovereign nation of Syria. This is an act of war but nobody seems to mind. Russia is Syria’s ally but Russia has not objected to Turkey’s presence in Syria. When Russia entered Syria in October 2015 every Bible pundit warned that Russia was going to start World War III. Almost all of them said that Russia was going to lead the Middle Eastern nations into Israel like Ezekiel chapter 38 describes. They said that Russia was Gog and Magog. They were all wrong! I told everybody that Russia would not escalate the war against Turkey. That is because Gog is Turkey and Magog is its ruler! Turkey will soon lead the forces that are now fighting in Syria into northern Israel.
Jeremiah 49:23-27 describes Turkey as they enter Syria at its northwestern border near Hamah and Arpad (or modern day Tell-Rifaat). Turkey has already entered Syria just to the north of Tell-Rifaat but they have not attacked Tell-Rifaat yet. Instead the Turkish led Al-Qaeda forces have traveled eastward from Azaz. Azaz is just to the north of Tell-Rifaat. Both of these towns are just to the north of Aleppo.
US President Obama certainly hasn’t minded that the Turkish Army has invaded Syria. Just last week Obama visited Turkey President Erdogan and told him that he wouldn’t object to a joint US and Turkey attack on Aleppo Syria’s largest city. This week US Secretary of State John Kerry has concluded a deal with Russian President Putin concerning Syria. Turkey and the EU are praising its virtues. The deal primarily deals with Aleppo. It is being advertised as a ceasefire in order to provide humanitarian aid to Aleppo. Of course Turkey has vowed to continue fighting. My observation is that Russia was probably given concessions to allow the Turkish Army to continue fighting further into Syria.
We are being lied to. The US, Turkey, and the EU have all had their sites on toppling Syria for years. Syria is the first nation to be gathered into their new world empire.

Will ISIS rule a revived Assyrian Empire?
Will ISIS rule a revived Assyrian Empire?
By Craig C. White
The ancient city of Nineveh was the capital of the Assyrian Empire. Today the northern Iraq city of Mosul is built around the ruins of ancient Nineveh. Mosul in Iraq is the hometown and headquarters of ISIS. So ISIS represents the ancient Assyrians and a new Assyrian State.
Isaiah chapter 10 predicts an Assyrian invasion into Israel. This invasion happened in 701 BC. In Isaiah 11:1 the return of the Messiah is announced. He will rule in Jerusalem as king. According to Isaiah Jesus Christ returns just after this Assyrian invasion. Therefore Isaiah chapter 10 could also predict another end time invasion into Israel. Because of Isaiah “the Assyrian” is viewed as a prototype of the Antichrist. The Antichrist will rule over the next World Empire.
The rise of ISIS has led some to consider the possibility that the next World Empire may be a revived Assyrian Empire. That is a reasonable observation. ISIS is winning the allegiance of other Islamist terror groups. ISIS is also systematically gaining territory in Syria and northern Iraq. But I think that their power will be contained to those regions.
ISIS seems to be establishing a revived Assyrian State but will it establish an empire? Will ISIS rule a revived Assyrian Empire? Will the Antichrist be from Assyria (or Mosul)? Maybe but I don’t think so.
There is another well-known prototype of the Antichrist in the Bible. His name is Antiochus Epiphanes. He ruled over one quarter of the Grecian Empire. His throne was in Syrian Antioch (now in Turkey). Antiochus Epiphanes did many of the same things that the Antichrist will do. He stopped the temple sacrifice (Daniel 9:27). Antiochus Epiphanes also conquered Egypt and attacked Jerusalem (Dan 11:36-45). The Antichrist will do these same things in the future.
Antiochus Epiphanes is another prototype of the Antichrist. The Bible tells us that the Antichrist will do some of the same things that Antiochus Epiphanes did. In Isaiah chapter 10 the Bible also tells us that the Antichrist will do some of the same things that the Assyrian kings did. In these instances the Bible isn’t telling us where the Antichrist is from. It is telling us what he will do!
Still, the rise of ISIS makes the thought of a revived Assyrian Empire somewhat compelling. Will ISIS rule a revived Assyrian Empire? Is there any way that we can know for sure? Well if ISIS was to suffer an overwhelming defeat; that might cause us to look for another revived World Empire to fulfill Bible prophecy.
The book of Nahum is all about the destruction of the ancient Assyrian capital city of Nineveh. Nineveh was destroyed by a flood along with three plundering armies in 612 BC. Like I said earlier the modern day city of Mosul is built in the same place as ancient Nineveh. The ruins of Nineveh lie in the middle of Mosul. I think that Nahum’s prophecies apply to both the city of Nineveh as well as to the city of Mosul. So if God were to wipe out ISIS in the city of Mosul with a flood along with three plundering armies then he would be giving the world one giant clue that the next World Empire will not be Assyrian led!
Stay tuned!

2016 Bible Prophecy Timeline – Damascus to the Rapture
2016 Bible Prophecy Timeline
Damascus to the Rapture
By Craig C. White
2016 Bible Prophecy TimelineIt’s here! The 2016 Bible Prophecy Timeline is here! I’ve got news for you. World events are shaping up to the near time fulfillment of end time bible prophecy. For instance Jeremiah 49 indicates the invasion of Syria from the Turkish border then Damascus is destroyed. Today the world is asking Turkey to create a “safe zone” inside of Syria next to the Turkish border. The northwest cities of Hamah and Arpad are identified in Jeremiah chapter 49 as hearing reports about a coming invasion. Today this is exactly the area that Turkey wants to conquer! The invasion of Syria by Turkey is the next event to look for on our 2016 Bible Prophecy Timeline.
As I study these bible prophecies I am becoming more convinced that the Rapture of the Church will precede many of these events. As I watch these events forming on the world stage I am more convinced that the Rapture will happen within the next couple of years. I think that the Rapture of the Church will happen before the fall of Satan from heaven (Rev 12:12). I think that Satan will fall before the Turkish led invasion into Israel called Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38 (Rev 12:15). I think that the Turkish led invasion into Israel will happen after Turkey invades Syria and destroys Damascus. I think that the Turkish led invasion into Israel may prompt a Turkey & Israel peace treaty which may mark the beginning of the seven year Tribulation period. These events take us into the first part of the seven year Tribulation period. All of these events will not happen in 2016.

Turkey vs DAESH?
Turkey vs DAESH?
By Craig C. White
Turkey says that they have cleared the Syrian border of ISIS (or as they like to say DAESH) from Azaz to Jarablus in one day!
Now what they aren’t telling you is that Turkey’s primary target has been the Kurds. It has even been reported that ISIS joined Turkey to fight the Kurds at Jarablus.
When Turkish officials say terrorist or DAESH they usually mean the Kurds or the Syrian Army.
I can only suspect that Turkey will now attack Hamah and Arpad (or Tell Rifaat) just like Jeremiah 49:23-27 says.

Syrian Army fighting in Hamah
Syrian Army fighting in Hamah
By Craig C. White
Almost nobody is reporting this but the Syrian Army has been fighting a major battle in northern Hamah Province in Syria. The Syrian Army is gaining ground against Syria’s Al-Qaeda branch. This is certain to upset Turkey.
The northwestern city of Hama is mentioned in Jeremiah 49:23. According to Jeremiah Hamah will hear reports about a coming invasion then the residents of Damascus will flee. Then Damascus will be destroyed. Hamah is located near the Turkish border. This invasion will most probably come from Turkey.
Jeremiah 49:23 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
The town of Arpad is also mentioned in Jeremiah 49:23. The Turkish Army has been amassed along the Syrian border just to the north of Arpad for the past couple of years. This week Turkey sent a small number of tanks and troops into Syria just to the north of Arpad. Today the town of Arpad is called Tell Rifaat.
The Turkish Army is on the offensive. Expect the Turkish Army to make advances on Hamah and Arpad or Tell Rifaat. Then expect the residents of Damascus to flee. After that Damascus will be destroyed. It is High Time to Awake!

Turkey has entered Syria north of Arpad or Tell Rifaat just like Jeremiah 49:23 says
Turkey has entered Syria north of Arpad or Tell Rifaat just like Jeremiah 49:23 says
Prelude to the destruction of Damascus
By Craig C. White
About fifty Turkish soldiers along with some tanks have entered Syria just to the north of Tell Rifaat. For now I think that the Turkish Army is moving east. I don’t think that they are moving against Tell Rifaat yet but that could change.
Jeremiah says that after Hamah and Arpad (or modern day Tell Rifaat) hear about a coming invasion then the residents of Damascus flee and Damascus is destroyed.
Jeremiah 49:23 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
This is the second incursion into Syria by the Turkish Army in the past few days. About 5,000 Al-Qaeda rebels sponsored by Turkey and the US entered Syria from the Turkish border west of the Euphrates River near Jarablus last week. These rebels where supported by Turkish tanks and about 1,000 Turkish soldiers. Now Turkey has sent another small group of soldiers into Syria near Azaz and Tell Rifaat. Perhaps the purpose of this relatively small incursion is to clear hostile forces on the east side of Tell Rifaat so that when the Turkish Army finally does enter Syria in mass that they can do so without resistance on their eastern flank.
Has Jeremiah’s prophecy begun? Not quite yet. Jeremiah says that Hamah and Arpad (or Tell Rifaat) hear of an approaching invasion. Jeremiah says that when the Turkish Army gathers against these cities their residents will be terrified. The Turkish Army isn’t assaulting these towns in mass yet.
There is also a lot happening in Hamah. The Syrian Army has recaptured areas in the northern Hamah province and Al-Qaeda rebels have also made advances. I haven’t heard that the Turkish Army has mobilized against Hamah yet but it seems that these latest maneuvers could be in preparation for a large scale attack.
