"And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword:
I know where thou dwellest, even where Satan's throne is; and thou holdest fast my name, and didst not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwelleth."
Rev 2:12 & 13
I have written elsewhere in these pages of the importance of the modern nation of Turkey in the political alignments of current events. It is my belief, based upon history, Biblical prophecy, Islamic prophecy, and the general trend of events today that the nation of Turkey will provide the political power base for the authority of the anti-Christ.
There has been and continues to be a lot of discussion as to which nation or nation group will provide the throne for Satan's envoy on earth. Rome? Washington? Jerusalem? All and more have been debated endlessly. I suppose such discussion will continue. All of it is based on personal opinion with no foundation in the Bible. Oh yes, scripture is quoted to support arguments, but did not even Satan do that? The Bible states clearly and simply where this person will find a political base; Turkey.
Read the quote above. Pergamum, or Pergamon depending upon the translation you use, is in Turkey. The seat of Satan will be in Turkey. It just happens that Turkey is also a Muslim country.

The above is a link to a Turkish daily news source English version. I suggest you drop in once a week or so and read the things that are being said and done by folks there. We don't hear of it in America. Turkey is very interested in expanding their influence in the middle east especially since the advent of Arab Spring. Political realignment in the middle east provides a great opportunity for the expansion of Turkish influence. For example, an article in the Hurriyet News last week indicated that Turkey is making strong overtures to Egypt to expand their trade relations.
We should also be aware that despite the financial earthquakes that are sweeping back and forth across Europe, Turkey alone remains financially strong. In fact, it is growing. While other nations, including America, are having their financial credit rating degraded, Turkey's is going up. No military or political advantage can be gained against Israel without a strong financial foundation and Turkey is the only Muslim nation that has it.
There is a lot more that can be said, but for now; WATCH TURKEY.
