In  an amazing       announcement that just came out today and was published throughout  the Muslim world, including even CNN Arabic Version, The Chairman of  the International Union for Muslim Scholars, Sheikh Yusuf       al-Qaradawi whose union represents the largest body of Muslim  scholars worldwide and on their behalf just announced in Turkey that: 
 
 “The Caliphate in today’s age must be established through a number  of several states that are governed by Shariah and supported by both,  the rulers and the people in the form of a federation or confederation  and not as it was in the past.”
 
 By this, the Muslim union of scholars lead by Qaradawi is setting  up the theological precedence by announcing that a future confederacy of  Muslim nations must and will be established and centered in the land of  the Muslim Caliphate in Turkey.
 
 What Qaradawi is speaking of should be seriously noted since the  interpretation of the prophecy of a future confederacy of ten-nations is  found in four major passages of Scripture and is a determinative issue  in any system of prophetic interpretation and are the key to the total  prophetic outlook regarding this emerging Antichrist confederacy of  different states mentioned in at least four major Scripture passages  (Dan 2:31-35, 40-45; 7:7-8, 19-24; Rev 13:1-2; 17:3, 7, 12-16).
 
 These passages either directly or by implication prophesy a  ten-kingdom confederation, which will be an important aspect of the  end-time political situation.
 
 What we see here is the beginning embryo and birth of a grand idea  set by between Erdogan and the spiritual head of the Sunni Muslim world  in which its declared that such confederacy for the Caliphate will be  established in Istanbul, Turkey as the center for all these different  states.
 
 Qaradawi is pointing to the problem that since Muslims are  scattered in so many different states, that it would be impossible to  include the coming Caliphate as one state as in the times of old.
He gave an example:
“There are big countries such as China, which has a population of  about 1.5 billion, according to the statistics, in a time when the  number of Muslims in the world about 1.7 billion, and thus could meet in  the form of the Union.”
 
 During the interview with the Turkish media agency “Anatolia” in  Istanbul, Qaradawi believed that the “militant groups like ISIS that  appear among the Muslims is the result of the corruption by secular  rulers in which caused Muslim youth to follow some militants, believing  that they are simply fighting for the sake of God and disbelieve, yet  such movements still represent is a major problem which the new  Caliphate from Turkey will resolve” adding that: “the succession  announced by the organization of Islamic state (ISIS) in both Iraq and  Syria have no meaning and do not meet the required conditions to be a  Caliphate”.
 
 As Shoebat.com noted last week, Qaradawi is speaking of a sign of  the end of the world when he declared that the “angelic host will soon  descend on earth” after this establishment of the coming Caliphate in  Turkey since from a Christian perspective this is the casting of the  fallen angels which Daniel the prophet spoke about the minions of the  Luminous One, Lucifer are finally cast out. This is also declared as a  holy event in the Qur’ân’s Night of Vision (Muhammad’s visitation):
 
 “The angelic hosts descend [to earth] in it with the spirit by  command of the their Lord. Peace shall it be until the rising of the  Dawn (Morning star).” (Q 97)
 
 Who is this ‘spirit’ and how is Allah the lord of angels and  spirits? According to Muslims this ‘spirit’ or ‘the holy spirit’ is an  Arch Angel. In the ends of days, angels will also descend on earth.
 
 We have written of this decades ago, when I was a Muslim this is a  holy moment much hoped for and is prophetically proclaimed from the  inception of the Quran, but when I became Christian, this Islamic  prophecy confirmed to me what the Bible prophesied about God casting the  devil out unto earth:
 
 “And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought  against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he  was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great  dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan,  who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his  angels with him. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come  the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the  authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses  them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.” (Revelation  12:17)
 
 At this heavenly incident, when the fallen angles (demons) are  finally cast out, that Lucifer will possess the Antichrist and the  fallen angels will possess the minions of Antichrist (see Isaiah 14,  Ezekiel 28) in which his confederacy of nations that are all  specifically mentioned by name (read Ezekiel 28-31) are finally thrown  into the pit. These are Sudan (Cush) and North African states(Phut)  Lydia (Turkey) and all Arabia and Egypt (see Ezekiel 30:5). They also  include Asshur (Iraq – Syria), (see Ezekiel 32:22-23) and Elam (Iran)  (see Ezekiel 32:24-25) and Meshech & Tubal (Asia minor which  includes the Southern Russian Muslim states) (see Ezekiel 32:26) and the  harlot (Arabia) (see Ezekiel 32:29, also see Ezekiel 25).
 
 Qaradawi is currently paving the way for Turkey to ultimately invade Egypt:
 
 “He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not  escape. He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and all  the riches of Egypt, with the Libyans and Cushitese in submission.”  (Daniel 11:42)
 
 As we stated decades ago in our book Why I Left Jihad and after  that in God’s War on Terror that the new emerging Mediterranean  confederacy will be the “bruised head,” the arising “sick man of  Europe,” the “wounded beast” that is coming back to life under the  Turkish Neo-Ottoman revival. It constitutes the Revival of the Roman  Empire as well as the Grecian, Babylonian, Medo-Persian and Egyptian,  altogether.
 
 Let us be all be wrong and Christ alone be right when He said that  Pergamum (Turkey) and not Rome, by this Christ was telling Turkey:  “thou art the seat of Satan (Antichrist)”:
 
 “To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words  of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword. I know where you  live—where Satan has his throne.(Revelation 2:12-13)”
