In view of all the stuff coming out about Turkey and her aspirations - let's take a good hard look. Babylon has always represented false religion. Whether Babylon be physical in the past and spiritual in the future, we need to attempt to identify her. I know there are many who say it's not our job and "we won't be here" etc. It is still incumbent upon us to take an educated delve into the identity of Babylon. As privileged recipients of the Holy Spirit - it is most certainly our job to search the mysteries. Many Bible scholars / Pastors will trot out the mantra of "We should not be looking for the anti Christ but should be looking for Christ, Himself". In my opinion, we have been so blessed to have found THE Christ - it is our duty to warn others of what is ahead.
Islam is the most obvious candidate for the title of Babylon. It is not a blatant bastardisation of scripture....a la the Roman Catholic Church. Islam is a stand alone. It has replaced the person of Jesus with their Mohammed. Islam is anti Christ - in as much as they believe that their Koran is superior over the Holy scriptures. Their Mohammed is superior to the LORD Jesus. The chosen people, the Jewish people, are to be annihilated, spat upon and called pigs and dogs. This is all the TOTAL opposite of what the Holy Bible tells us. And - the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Islam is violent to the extreme. It worships death over life. It encourages it's adherents to commit horrific murders. I could go on about the horrors of Islam but you are all pretty clued up.
Erdogan of Turkey fancies himself as the new sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Erdogan is vociferous in his hatred and condemnation of Israel. Almost rivalling that of the hatred that comes out of Iran's mouth. And it is Erdogan who has embarked on turning ancient churches into Islamic mosques. That's a giant heads-up - in my opinion! Erdogan doesn't have to make a meal out of the ancient churches being defiled. It's small fry compared to the riches to be had in the Mediterranean. Yet, Erdogan IS making a huge deal about these churches. Rubbing it in Christianity's face. Giving it a good old grind while he's at it. Iran - on the other hand - tries to include Christianity as one of the victims of Judaisms "faults". Drawing the Christians in as "victims" of the Jewish people - alongside themselves. No such nonsense from Erdogan of Turkey!!
Erdogan wants to be THE head of an Islamic revival. Islam is the prime candidate of all that is anti-Christ.
In view of where the 7 churches are located. Turkey. And in view of everything that is developing in that region - I put it to you that Erdogan is a prime candidate for the AC. It is the identity of the Whore of Babylon which is up for grabs.
