Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Times Topics, January 5, 2012

Mr. Erdogan carved out a
newly muscular role for Turkey in foreign policy, openly challenging the way
the United States manages its two most pressing issues in the region, Iran's
nuclear program and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. The shift has made
him a hero to the Arab world.

Mr. Erdogan's vision of
economic interdependence has led to friction with Washington, particularly over
Iran, Turkey's only alternative energy source after Russia. Mr. Erdogan's
confrontation with Israel, which he accused of "state terrorism" in
the June 2010 flotilla raid off Gaza, raised the loudest alarms for Americans.
Many saw his fiery statements - a sharp contrast to years of friendly relations
with Israel - as a sign that he had not only abandoned the quest to join the
European Union, but was also aligning himself with Islamic rivals of the West.

Mr. Erdogan rose from a
tough-talking Istanbul mayor representing a rising underclass of religious
Turks. He is seen as a confounding mix, from a background of political Islam but
with an agenda of bringing Turkey into the European Union, where his supporters
do most of their business. Mr. Erdogan's greatest legacy so far is an economy
that has more than tripled since 2002. Europe remains its pre-eminent market,
but its businessmen have plied Ottoman trade routes with a sense of unabashed
optimism at untapped markets. Many hail from Anatolia, sharing the party's
ideology of social conservatism and economic liberalism, with a hint of
nostalgia for the old empire.

Mr. Erdogan, though a
pragmatist, is also a devout Muslim, a category that was once the underdog in
secular Turkish society, and sympathy for the Palestinians is ingrained. He is
hotheaded, with a street fighter's swagger that becomes more pronounced in
crises.

Keep in mind that the
Antichrist will be a peace maker and will be very wise in the beginning of his
rule. At first the Antichrist will seem to solve many of the world's problems
and he will be considered great in the eyes of most in the world. The
Antichrist will help mediate a peace agreement in the Middle East, especially
with Israel. Through this peace agreement, the Temple will be rebuilt in
Jerusalem.

What current role does
Turkey have with the rebuilding of the Temple?

This is a section of an
article titled: "Jewish-Muslim coalition calls for rebuilt Temple":

Last month, a historic
meeting took place between members of the Jewish Sanhedrin (the ruling judicial
body of the Jewish Faith) and a well-known Turkish Muslim Leader, Adnan Oktar,
who uses the psuedonym, Harun Yahya. One of their stated goals was to
"wag[e] a joint intellectual and spiritual battle against the worldwide
growing tide of irreligiousness, unbelief and immorality," according to a
World Net Daily report.

But even more interesting
than this unprecedented coalition was their mutual desire to rebuild the
Jewish Temple. They believe that a rebuilt temple can help bring the three
Abrahamic faiths (Jews, Christians, and Muslims) together in peace.
Furthermore, Oktar claims that this temple could be rebuilt within one year!

In a statement posted on
their website, Sanhedrin.org, the members of
the Sanhedrin, along with Adnan Oktar, set forth in further detail their
expectations and objectives of their plan for peaceful co-existence. In an
eye-catching statment in a section entitled, "Plan for Peace" the
Sanhedrin state,

Out of a sense of collective
responsibility for world peace and for all humanity we have found it timely to
call to the World and exclaim that there is a way out for all peoples. It is
etched in a call to all humanity: We are all the sons of one father, the
descendants of Adam, and all humanity is but a single family. Peace among
Nations will be achieved through building the House of G-d, where all peoples
will serve as foreseen by King Solomon in his prayers at the dedication of the
First Holy Temple. Come let us love and respect one another, and love and honor
and hold our heavenly Father in awe. Let us establish a house of prayer in His
name in order to worship and serve Him together, for the sake of His great
compassion. He surely does not want the blood of His creations spilled, but
prefers love and peace among all mankind. We pray to the Almighty Creator, that
you harken to our Call. Together - each according to his or her ability - we
shall work towards the building of the House of Prayer for All Nations on the
Temple Mount in peace and mutual understanding."

In Mr. Oktar's section of the
declaration, he talks a lot about the need for peace among the Jews and Muslims
and asserts that the Turkish Islamic Union can help bring about that peace. He
states that "the establishment of this union under Turkish leadership is
essential for the salvation of the Middle East and the whole world...If such a
union is established, then by Allah's leave Muslims, Jews and Christians will
all be at ease. Conflict and fighting will come to a complete end. Once the
Turkish-Islamic Union is founded, Jews will be able to live freely in those
lands without the need for walls."

What does the Bible say
about the Antichrist and the Temple?

While returning to his land
with great riches, his heart shall be moved against the holy covenant; so he
shall do damage and return to his own land.

"At the appointed time
he shall return and go toward the south; but it shall not be like the former or
the latter. For ships from Cyprus shall come against him; therefore he shall be
grieved, and return in rage against the holy covenant, and do damage.

"So he shall return and
show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant. And forces shall be
mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall
take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation.
(Daniel 11:28-31)

For you yourselves know
perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when
they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon
them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
(1 Thessalonians 5:2-3)

The time is running short.
The United States of Europe is well on the way to being formed, with calls for
much greater fiscal and political unification. We believe that this "Beast
from the Middle East" will soon help broker the Israeli-Palestinian
"land for peace" treaty, which will begin the dark 7 year period
called the Tribulation. We believe that the Rapture will occur before then.
