I had the great pleasure to speak at the “Believers in Grace Fellowship” Bible prophecy conference in Marion, Iowa. Pastor Bill Randles was kind enough to invite me.
We are very near to the return of Jesus to collect his Church. It is easy to identify and to watch the events that lead up to Jesus’ return. As Turkey and their allies move nearer and nearer to Israel we can know that Jesus is on his way. Jesus will return to cause the Turkish led forces in the Golan Heights to retreat! Turkey is in northwestern Syria now. Turkey will attack Hamah and Tell Rifaat first (Jer 49:23-27). Then Turkey will move south to destroy Damascus. Finally Turkey will lead the forces that are now fighting in Syria into the Golan Heights of Israel (Eze 38). I think that Jesus Christ will return at that time to fight against the Turkish led invaders in the Golan Heights (Nahum 1:3-8). Jesus will also take away Christians when he comes. Amen.
ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi has just released a 46 minute long voice recording addressing his ISIS troops. Al-Baghdadi told ISIS cells and sympathizers to commit terror attacks on the west. This official address is mentioned in Nahum 2:5 so we ought to pay attention.
Nahum 2:5 He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.
In the very next verse Nahum describes the flooding of Mosul.
Nahum 2:6 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
Two things to learn. First, be alert to further terrorist attacks. Next we should expect the city of Mosul in northern Iraq to be flooded. Plus Nahum may tell us that Jesus Christ will return to earth during these events!

The Prophet Jeremiah says that the northwestern cities of Hamah and Arpad (or modern day Tell Rifaat) will hear evil reports about a coming invasion and will be terrified.
For the past few months the Turkish Army has been gathering heavy weapons and troops at Azaz, Syria in order to attack the nearby Kurdish held town of Tell Rifaat. Turkish President Erdogan said that the Turkish Army could attack Tell Rifaat at any moment. So one of the cities that Jeremiah identifies is about to be attacked by Turkish troops.
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.
With the finalized “safe zone” plan, Turkey will soon be in position to attack Hamah; the other city on Jeremiahs list. Soon Turkey will send 25,000 more Turkish and Free Syrian Army troops to Idlib located only a few miles from Hamah. According to Jeremiah 49:23-27, after Hamah and Tell Rifaat hear evil reports of a coming invasion then the residents of Damascus will flee and Damascus will be destroyed.

Sept 2016 interview. Michael Tobin reviews Syria in Bible prophecy and the Syrian war with guest Craig C. White. After Turkey destroys Damascus they will lead an invasion into the Golan Heights of Israel!
In Bible prophecy “the Assyrian” is a term that applies to the Antichrist because he will do the same things that the original Assyrian kings did. In 734 BC Assyria conquered Syria and then turned southward to attack northern Israel.
So we can identify the Antichrist as the man who conquers Syria. Turkish President Erdogan is just about to launch a massive ground invasion into Syria. His main goal is to remove Syrian President Assad from office in Damascus!
The Antichrist isn't from Assyria which is northern Iraq today. The Antichrist is only compared to the Assyrian kings because he will also conquer Syria and then invade northern Israel.
Now more than ever folks are expecting to identify the Antichrist. They have several candidates but only one world leader is fulfilling the criteria that the Bible lays out.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is the Antichrist. Here is a checklist that shows which bible prophecies he has already fulfilled.
Daniel chapter 7 describes 3 end time Unions that combine to form the next World Empire! They are the European Union, the new Russian Union, and a new Middle Eastern Union.
Commonly interpreted as describing ancient world empires, Daniel chapter 7 has been sorely misunderstood. It is high time to properly interpret Daniel’s end time vision, since it is unfolding today. Understanding Daniel 7 provides a startling perspective of our position in the timeline of the last days and the coming trial of Israel and the wrath of God on all the earth. The final gentile world empire is forming. Daniel chapter 7 tells us how.
It turns out that 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 is not about the apostasy of the Church or the removal of the Holy Spirit from the earth during the Tribulation period. It is about looking to the Old Testament prophets in order to recognize end time events!
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.
Paul is not revealing new prophetic information here. He is reminding us about the prophecies of Isaiah (Isa 14:12) and Daniel (Dan 9:27). In verse 3 above, "a falling away" is the falling of Satan from heaven as explained by Isaiah. The "man of sin" will defile the temple as explained by Daniel.
In Luke 17:36 Jesus gave a prophecy that one day two men will be standing in a field. Then one man will be taken away and the other man will remain.
Luke 17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
This passage might sound like it is describing the Rapture but it isn’t. Instead it is describing the invasion of Judea and Jerusalem by the Antichrist during the Tribulation period. First of all this prophecy was given to the Jews before the Church existed. Jesus gave this prophecy to his Disciples. Secondly this prophecy was given in the city of Jerusalem. It concerns the nation of Israel and more specifically it concerns the city of Jerusalem. Jesus also told us when this event will happen. It will happen on “the day when the Son of man is revealed” (Luke 17:30). I know that the term the Son of man can refer to the Messiah but on this day the Antichrist will stand in the temple in Jerusalem showing himself that he is God.
“thy hidden ones” in Psalm 83: 3 are Jews from Judea (region south of Jerusalem) who have fled into the wilderness during the second half of the Great Tribulation. The wilderness is the mountainous region of Jordan east of Jerusalem.
Psalm 83 is a request for God’s help. It represents the Judean refugee’s call for defense at the end of the Tribulation. Jesus Christ will come through Jordan defeating the nations that have gathered against the Judean refugees now living in Jordan.
The book of Nahum is all about the destruction of the ancient city of Nineveh. God destroyed Nineveh with a flood and also with three plundering armies. The modern day city of Mosul is built alongside of the ruins of ancient Nineveh. As a matter of fact Nineveh lays within the city limits of Mosul! The prophet Nahum said that God will judge the place where Nineveh was built. Both cities were built in the same place. By all practical standards Mosul is Nineveh. Therefore the book of Nahum describes the destruction of ancient Nineveh and it also very probably describes the present day destruction of Mosul in northern Iraq! We all know that the Al-Qaeda terrorist group called ISIS has taken control of the city of Mosul. They are killing hundreds of thousands of its residents.
When Hebrew prophets talk about the burden of a city or nation they are describing the portion of God’s judgment that it must endure. Nahum is describing Nineveh’s plight. I think he is also describing the plight of ISIS in Mosul today!
Nahum 1:1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Lately Turkish Prime Minister 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. 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 Prime Minister Erdogan is the Antichrist. Here is why, and here is why the Antichrist will destroy Damascus and then invade Israel!
The prophet Jeremiah asks the question “How is Damascus not there?”. Damascus is the oldest continually inhabited city in the world. One day it will no longer exist.
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.
What is Jeremiah telling us? Obviously this prophecy is concerning Damascus, Syria. In the verse above Jeremiah mentions two cities. Hamath and Arpad (Tell Erfad or Tell Rifaat) are both located in northwestern Syria. Today Hamah is Syria’s fifth largest city with a population of 313 thousand. Hamah is further south but still close to the Turkish border. Arpad is modern Tell Rifaat about 25 miles north of Aleppo and about 20 miles south of the Turkish border. These cities are along the path of an invasion launched from Turkey headed towards Damascus.
