Islam in Bible Prophecy | The Eastern Question
Rise of the Turk
Does the Bible say anything about when the time of trouble (Daniel 12:1) will begin? What does the Bible say about the Ottoman Empire and last day events?
More than 100 years ago, discussions on the last verses of Daniel 11 centered around what was known as “the eastern question.” The treaty of Lausanne, signed in 1923, seemed to put an end to interpretations that focussed on Turkey as having a significant role in the fulfillment of end-time Bible prophecy. But a “sunset clause” in the treaty and the Turkish referendum of 2017 have reignited interest in the topic and the rise of Neo-Ottomanism. Discover the connection between Christ’s work as Intercessor and Turkey’s move to power.
