The man from Turkey is on the move to further consolidate his ambition to see a revived Turkish Ottoman Empire established that will form an Islamic Empire of global proportions. According to report in the Online Publication “Bloomberg” Erdogan wants to use an upcoming global summit to lobby U.S. President Joe Biden to allow Ankara to buy dozens of American warplanes, in a bid to overcome Washington’s resistance to major arms deals with his country following its purchase of Russian S-400 air defence system from the Russians, something that evoked the chagrin of the American Government.
Turkey sent a formal request to the U.S. on Sept. 30 to purchase 40 new F-16 Block 70 aircraft and nearly 80 kits from Lockheed Martin Corporation to modernize its existing F-16 fighters. The deal is potentially worth $6 billion. So far the Turkish President has not sought to resolve the strained relationship with America over his deal with Russia on the air defence system. Washington has demanded that Ankara scrap the S-400 in return for the lifting of related U.S. sanctions, but Turkey has shown no inclination to do so. The sanctions cut off Turkey’s top defence procurement agency from U.S. financial institutions, military hardware and technology. New export licenses to transfer American goods or technology to the agency have also been banned. Congress has said that they are not going to sign off on major arms agreements with Turkey until they get resolution on the S-400s.
The US Government is concerned that the S-400 could be used to collect intelligence on the stealth capabilities of the American F-35 fighter jet, which Turkish companies had helped to build and Ankara had planned to buy before the rift over the Russian S-400 missile defence system. According to Arda Mevlutoglu, a Turkish aviation expert based in Ankara, he stated; “If Turkey can win U.S. approval for the sale of the new F-16 Block 70 aircraft and upgrade kits that would come as a huge relief to the air force,” Mevlutoglu said on Monday. “Those planes would probably fulfil the capability until the 2030s, giving Turkey two critical decades to try and develop its own fighters.”
There is no doubt that the Islamic world recognises the seemingly incompetence of the Biden Administration to take a firm stand against the rise of Islamic global dominance. With the abysmal withdrawal of American forces in Afghanistan by Biden, abandoning military equipment costing in the millions and leaving American citizens and those who aided the US forces in that country, has sent out a signal to The Islamic world that America is no longer the global super power it once was and that their supreme Commander Joe Biden seems to lack cognitive ability and Erdogan knows it.
In a time of Jihad Muslims will wait and appear to be ‘moderate’ and even submissive but when they have the upper hand and know they can win they will suddenly reveal their true intentions and that with sword in hand! Islam is the ideology of the Sword. The crossed swords pointing upwards on all Islamic flags and banners clearly depict conquest by the sword. Also Erdogan supports the Taliban and has curried favour with the Taliban leaders and fighters. Erdogan has not failed to see how the Americans are seeking to re-negotiate and revive the 2015 Iranian Nuclear deal brokered by the Obama Administration. Why Biden would even consider doing a deal with the Iranians, a terrorist regime that supports global terrorism, is beyond belief humanly speaking! Instead of seeking to stop the Iranian nuclear deal the Biden Administration, along with the European Union, are moving ahead with the deal! The only nation that sees what Islam is up to is Israel.
Now in his desire to expand his resurrected Turkish Ottoman Empire Erdogan has Turkish forces stationed in Syria. His only obstacle to re-establishing the Turkish Ottoman Empire of his forbears is Assad. Once Erdogan ousts Assad and gets control of Syria he will then have that whole surrounding region under Turkish control. He more than likely is delighted with having Afghanistan now in the hands of the Taliban and has them onside already it would seem to propagate by the sword the expansion of Islam throughout the Middle-East. Erdogan not only has access to Afghanistan now but also Iraq, Pakistan, the Turkic speaking southern states of the former Soviet Union and a growing relationship with Iran.
If Erdogan is revealed as the Mahdi of an Islamic empire then he would have no problems raising a 200 million strong army of remorseless killers for the cause of Allah to spread Islam globally (Revelation 9:16). We know from the book of the prophet Daniel that Iran will join the invasion force led by Turkey that will attack Israel (Ezekiel 38:5a). Erdogan wants total control of Syria so that he can gain access into Israel’s northern border over the Golan Heights. As for Damascus it is destined to become “a ruinous heap” more than likely at the hands of Turkey (Isiah 17:1). As for the Russian support for Assad Putin will most likely watch from the sidelines because of Russia’s economic ties with Turkey.
Hezbollah will have no problems joining forces with the Islamic invading force. If Hezbollah can gain the Golan Heights then missile and rocket launchers could be set up on the heights overlooking Israel to rain down their hardware on Israeli cities and towns and there would be so many projectiles that the Iron Dome would not be capable of intercepting them all. Right now Hezbollah have several thousand missiles stockpiled in Lebanon that are technologically more advanced than the ones Hamas are launching from Gaza towards Israel.
With his S-400 air defence system, and if he can, with his upgraded fleet of combat Jets and his building up of his naval forces in the region, Erdogan is rapidly becoming a military force to be reckoned with in the whole of the Middle-East. Once he has the military capability and the support of the Jihad minded Islamic world there is no doubt he will launch an all-out attack on Israel. Of course he will not want to stop there but have his forces sweep down from the Golan Heights not only to invade Israel but also Egypt, and much of North Africa including Sudan and Libya.
Added to this, as the supreme Mahdi and commander in Chief of the Islamic armed forces, his forces by air, sea and land will invade much of Europe with sleeper cells within the western democracies activated to attack their enemies from within. The Islamic Trojan Horse is well ensconced and established in Europe and in most western democracies today. Even though his forces will attack the mightiest of fortresses with the help of his foreign god Allah, the man from Turkey will be opposed by military forces and be threatened by Russia from the North and from China from the East (Daniel 11:38-39, 44). After he has set up his headquarters in Jerusalem the Turkish man of sin will come to his end with no one to help him (Daniel 11:45).
Erdogan’s latest escapade to do a deal with the United states to purchase 40 new F-16 Block 70 aircraft and nearly 80 kits from Lockheed Martin Corporation to modernize Turkey’s existing F-16 fighters, will no doubt enlarge Erdogan’s cache of firepower and ultimately enable Turkey along with its Jihad minded Islamic allies to wage the largest and final Jihad in Islamic history, not only against the west, but also against Israel which will be the end game for the man from Turkey!
