Fay,

What if Erdogan doesn't win the upcoming election?

(There are a number of negative factors hurting his chances, particularly the earthquake.

I've recently saw a couple of articles, indicating that whoever wins, will need to come out on the side of the Kurds.

I had always thought that Turkey had been really against the Kurds, like Iraq also had been, as well as in Iran, Syria, and even Armenia.

Now they play a significant part in the outcome of Turkey's upcoming election.

If not at this time, then what about at some future point, a Kurd actually wins an election in Turkey?

What if, as people have considered for years, that the Kurds may actually be descendants of the tribes of Israel that Assyria took into captivity, some 7 centuries before Jesus?

And what if some Kurds descend from the tribe of Dan?

And what if one of them wins an election in Turkey?)

Daniel 11:21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

  23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.

(And then by the same method, win over some political, and some religious, leaders in Israel:)

Daniel 11:32a And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries:

(And end up being an "anti prince of peace"?)

Daniel 8:25a And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many:

(When the tribes of Israel are mentioned in Revelation 7, where the 144,000 are sealed, the tribe of Dan is left out.)

(Why is the tribe of Dan missing? It doesn’t say, but it has led many to consider that the antichrist comes out of the tribe of Dan.

I’m not necessarily ascribing to that here, but I wanted to mention it, since there are many who believe that it is true.

They say, first, that Jacob prophesied of Dan as a serpent, who would judge, but only “as” one of the tribes:)

 

Genesis 49:16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.

  17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.

 

(That he is to fulfill what was said to the serpent in the garden:)

 

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

 

(That Dan fulfills it, as the son of the serpent, the son of perdition, the anti-messiah.)

 

(Then they point out that Dan left his inheritance, to ascend to the furthest north point of the land, like Lucifer:)

 

Judges 18:2 And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.

  7 Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in any thing; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man.

  11 And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.

  14 Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do.

  17 And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.

  18 And these went into Micah’s house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?

  19 And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?

  20 And the priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.

  27 And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.

  29 And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first.

  30 And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.

 

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

  13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

  14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

 

I Kings 12:28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

  29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.

  30 And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.

 

Amos 8:14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
