Turkey's Geopolitical Rise and Prophetic Role

I'm not trying to give this guy any kind of credit whatsoever. He's an evil guy. But politically speaking, this guy has maneuvered better than anybody in the world besides President Xi in China. Those two leaders have maneuvered through all of this craziness in the world to set their countries up for success. China, they don't get in any foreign wars. They haven't been into any wars. They're not trying to dethrone anybody. They're just trying to do good business with everybody, and they're taking all of our business while we're doing all of the other stuff.

Number two, Turkey. Look at where Turkey is situated on the map. They are in a very great geopolitical position. Let me supersize this for everybody and take myself out. But if you look at where Turkey is on the map, they are in a great position geopolitically where God blessed their country. I mean, look at where Turkey is. It's in between Europe, in between Asia, and it's a connector down into the North Africa area. So, these are major players. And what he has done in Turkey has you talking about riding the fence. This guy has ridden the fence for a very long time. And he has got now he's got a defense pact with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, which Pakistan's a nuclear nation. Saudi Arabia's got the money, of course, and he's also a member of NATO. I mean, so this guy has worked both sides. That's why he's a fence-straddler because he has worked both sides.

If you don't know who Erdoğan is, here's a closer picture of him. Not that anybody wants to see a closer picture of him, but here you go. But this guy has outmaneuvered Vladimir Putin, all of the presidents of the United States, and everybody else in the Middle East. He has maneuvered everybody. And this is a prime example of it, my friends. We're going to look at it here in a minute. In biblical prophecy, Turkey is the bad boy. Ezekiel 38, 39, Daniel 2, Daniel 7, Daniel 8, Daniel 10. Everybody talks about Turkey at the very end being the bad boy. I mean, look at what Prime Minister Netanyahu, he's saying that Turkey is next. His one of his opponents, Naftali Bennett, who was the ex-prime minister, Turkey is next. So again, Israel is seeing that Turkey is next as well, which they are absolutely correct on that.

So this guy has straddled the fence line and he has negotiated or out-negotiated everybody in the region, including the United States, including China, including Russia. He has outmaneuvered everybody and now he's got a NATO partnership with NATO. And now he's got a defense pact with Pakistan, a nuclear nation, and also with Saudi Arabia, who has the dollars. So we have to understand where we are right now. This is not saying anything but that. Just being honest with these things. But my friends, it does go into biblical prophecy. And we've talked about this before, my friends.

When you look at Daniel 7, when you look at just Daniel 7, which goes into Revelation 13, you have Iraq that's going to rise first, which is the Babylonian Empire. The lion, it rose and it fell in 2003. Iran's been the superpower ever since. I think that's common knowledge. And they represent the bear. Medo-Persia is the bear. And then after that, Daniel says the leopard will rise, and that will be Turkey. In your Bible, it says Greece. But I hope to provoke you to go research what Greece means in the Bible. That means 'Yavan,' the Hebrew word 'Yavan,' not Greece, not Athens, Greece. Greece is the ally to Israel. So they're not it's not talking about Greece. They put Greece in the Bible because of Alexander the Great. And that's why everybody thinks these prophecies have been fulfilled because of Alexander the Great. And they put Greece in the Bible because of that. No, it's Yavan. And Yavan is on the western coast of Turkey, according to every ancient biblical atlas. They're on the coast of Turkey. And I'll try to pull that up for you here eventually, but we've got a lot to talk through. But my friends, we've got to get to the original revelation of the words in the Bible and not these mistranslations because people are going to be deceived. And when you see Turkey rising up to go conquer the Middle East, then you're not going to be deceived with that.

So again, Turkey. Yavan is on the western coast of Turkey. What did Yeshua say in Revelation 2:12-13? "Your throne, Pergamus, Turkey, where Satan's throne is and where he dwells." Present tense language. I don't care if they moved it to Germany or not. His spirit is in Turkey. Western Turkey. So, we've got to understand Yeshua didn't say, "Well, when they moved it to Germany, it's going to be in Germany." No, he said Pergamus, Turkey, at the end of the age will be where Satan's throne is and where he dwells. Revelation 2:12-13, my friends.

So again, Turkey is that bad boy that comes after Iran. Let's look at Daniel 10. Daniel 10, the war between Israel and Iran, twice. The archangel Gabriel, Michael was fighting the prince of Persia, twice. And then what does it say at the end of the scripture? Daniel 10, Yavan is coming next. So Daniel 10, Daniel 2, Daniel 7, Daniel 8, of course, is coming next. And this is just a stepping stone to this with this pact and this agreement that eventually they're going to go there and knock Iran, at the appointed time. I'm talking about Turkey.

So when you look at this, my friends, when you look at this graph here, you've got the lion, excuse me, if I... There you go. You've got the lion, which is Babylon, Iraq. Iran, Medo-Persia, the bear. That's where we are now, at the very end of the empire. And then you have Turkey. It says Greece in your Bible, but it's Turkey, Yavan. That's what it is. And you're seeing them rise, and they will come to power. And then these three, the land area of these three ancient empires will be the beast kingdom of Revelation 13. John says in Revelation 13, he describes the Antichrist beast. Now, he's talking about the beast. He said, "I saw one beast and it looked like a lion, Babylon, it looked like a bear, Persia, and it looked like a leopard, which is Turkey." So John's telling you those three kingdoms will be the beast kingdom, the conglomerate in Revelation 13. There's no reason why he would describe it like a lion, a bear, and a leopard if he didn't want us to go back to Daniel 7. He wants us to go back to Daniel 7 because that's where the end of the age prophecy began. And John's just going off of what Daniel wrote about Babylon, Iran, and Turkey. And he says they're going to come together as one, at the very end. And we're going to go through that as well.

Well, my friends, you're about to step into that third kingdom once you see for sure Turkey going over there and rocking Iran and dethroning them from the bear position. And then the leopard will come, and then it's going to get really real, so to speak. So, my friends, that's just where we are according to Daniel 7. We talked about Daniel 10, two wars with Iran and Israel. You've seen those. And then here you go, Yavan's coming next.

Let's go to Daniel 2. Daniel 2 again. Gold is Babylon and Empire. Daniel tells you that in Daniel 2. Then next is Medo-Persia, that's where we've been, is the silver. And now we're about to get into the bronze with Turkey. So again, Daniel 2, three kingdoms: Babylon, Persia, Yavan, and we're seeing those. And then you have the Daniel 7 with the beast. Daniel 2 and Daniel 7 are the same: four kingdoms. And then Yeshua. So it's the same thing: lion, bear, and leopard, same empires. And then even Daniel 8, my friends. Daniel 8 goes through two empires that are going to fight at the end of the age. And that's what you're about to see here next. The next great war in the Middle East, wherever or whenever that is, we'll see Turkey, the goat, crushing the ram, according to Daniel 8. Gabriel tells Daniel in Daniel 8, three times. Daniel 8:17 through 20 will tell you this. This is for the end of the age. Daniel, son of man, listen up. This is for the end of the age where the appointed time will be.

So, I'm not sure where all these prophecy teachers think that Alexander fulfilled this. Daniel would disagree with that. Daniel said it's for the end of the age. Daniel 2:28, this is for the latter days. So, we've got to understand Daniel tells you this is for the end of the age. I'm not sure why people say that all of these empires have been fulfilled in Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus, and Alexander. That's just false. You're seeing them now with Saddam Hussein, the Ayatollah, Erdoğan, and then the beast kingdom. You're going to see that next. But it did not get fulfilled with Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander, and King Cyrus, Persia.

So, my friends, everywhere you go in the book of Daniel, we speak about it all the time. Daniel 2, Daniel 7, Daniel 8, Daniel 10, all talk about the trajectory of the empires of the four empires. And then Daniel 10 and Daniel 8 is that transition between the second kingdom to the third kingdom, Iran to Turkey. So, we've got to really understand where we are. And whenever you see this right here, my friends, it's time to get your eyebrows up and put on the sunglasses or the 3D glasses and the popcorn and understand that you're seeing some movement, and you're going to see movement. And like I said, this is really, when you look at it overall, why did they make this agreement right now? Is because of what they've seen in the Middle East. MBS and Pakistan and Turkey have seen us struggle against the Iranians. We haven't reached any objectives. They can see this firsthand over there. The Gulf nations are on fire right now. Saudi Arabia is on fire. Israel's been on fire from Iran. Jordan's been on fire. Egypt's two ships have been on fire. So, this is not this is a very telling of where we are. America is in the Middle East right now. We are not the ones calling the shots like we used to call them. And I don't think that's a bad thing, to be honest with you. I think we need to get out of the Middle East. I've always said that. Get our people out. And Trump is doing that, and we'll go through that.
