If you turn to Ezekiel 38:2 the Prophet Ezekiel is prophesying against Gog, of the land of Magog, the Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. A little further down in Ezekiel 38:5 he prophesies that Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet. The ancient country Persia is today’s modern Iran.

Looking at the 2nd list Ethiopia is the only Christian nation that is close to Israel and, unfortuanately, many of the Christian residents are being persecuted. So when I look at this list, I believe Ethiopia will be forced to convert to the Islam religion leaving Israel completely surrounded by Muslims.

From the looks of the Middle East, it’s highly probable, the next big empire will revolve around the Islam religion. I’ve already seen articles stating Erdogan of Turkey is wanting to revive the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Caliphate or Empire was created by Turkish tribes in Anatolia around the 13th century and it grew to be one of the most powerful empires for more than 600 years before it came to an end in 1922. Among some of the countries which were aligned with them were, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Asia Minor (Turkey), East Thrace, Iran, the Levant, Mesopotamia and the Socotra Archipelego, North Africa, the Caucasus, and Eastern Europe.

While I always believed Russia would be a part of the antichrist system I don’t believe it will be it’s leader. From everything I’ve read compared to how the way the Middle East is taking shape, and, if Erdogan has his way, the Ottoman Empire will be revived. Turkey will be it’s leader along with many of the other Muslim countries.

For an indepth study of where the sons of Japheth is located read the Table of Nations listed in Genesis 10, you may realize what you’ve been told throughout your lifetime regarding the nations of the End Times isn’t exactly correct. If one wants to know the truth, studying the Bible, instead of listening to man, is the best way to learn. Alot of false doctrines out there so beware…..

Because your soul may depend on it!
