The Islamic Ottoman (Turkish) Empire once blanketed all of Southeastern Europe. When it began to decline it eventually became “the sick man of Europe.” After it began to decline the idea of a European Antichrist began to spread, such as Napolean, Then Kaisers, then Hitler, then Stalin were labeled as the .Antichrist.
Begin Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Ottoman Empire (Ottoman Turkish: Modern Turkish: sometimes referred to as the Turkish Empire or simply Turkey, was a contiguous transcontinental empire founded by Turkish tribes under Osman Bey in north-western Anatolia in 1299. With the conquest of Constantinople by Mehmet II in 1453 the Ottoman state was transformed into an empire.
The Decline of the Ottoman Empire (11 November 1606 – 26 January 1699) began by the death of the able grand vizier Sokollu Mehmet Pasha in 1579 and the peace of Peace of Zsitvatorok in 1606. During this period the empire continued to have military might. Despite a few gains like Crete, there were almost continuous rebellions in Anatolia and vast territories were lost to Safavid Persia. The period is marked by weak and semi mad sultans and incapable grandviziers. The valide sultans (mothers of the sultans) who acted like queen regent were the powerful figures of the period. The stagnation period was followed by the Decline of the Ottoman Empire
Ahmet I (16o3-1617)
Ahmet was enthroned while he was only 14. Unlike his predecessors he had never served in Anatolia as a sanjak governor. In the earlier part of his reign Ahmet I showed decision and vigour, which were belied by his subsequent conduct. The wars which attended his accession both in Hungary and in Persia terminated unfavourably for the Empire, and her prestige received its first check in the Treaty of Sitvatorok, signed in 1606, whereby the annual tribute paid by Austria was abolished. By the Treaty of Nasuh Pasha in 1612, Georgia and Azerbaijan were ceded to Persia. During Ahmet’s reign about one hundred thousand Anatolian Turks were killed in the series of revolts known as Jelali revolts. Ahmet is also known for his efforts in the construction of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque).

Syrian Kurdish leader claims military gains against Islamists

PARIS (Reuters) – Islamist groups in northern Syria are weakening after months of fighting and Kurdish militias are gaining ground, a top Kurdish leader said on Wednesday, vowing to continue their advances.
Saleh Muslim, head of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), told Reuters in Paris that Tuesday’s announcement of an interim administration that aims to carve out an autonomous Syrian Kurdish region was only “provisional” until there was a viable solution to Syria’s civil war.
Long oppressed under Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his father before him, Kurds view the war as an opportunity to gain more autonomy – much as their ethnic kin in neighboring Iraq have regarded turmoil there.
Control over Syria’s northeast, where Kurds predominate, had in recent months swung back and forth between them and mainly Arab Islamist rebels, who strongly oppose what they suspect are Kurdish plans to secede.
But with a string of military gains across northeastern Syria, Kurdish militias linked to the PYD are consolidating their presence.
“About 3,000 of those Salafists have been killed. At the beginning they were strong, but now they aren’t so strong,” said Muslim, whose son was recently killed fighting Islamists.
“We have found no allies and paid for our own bullets.”
Muslim said the PYD had received aid, money and weapons from the Iraq-based Kurdistan Democratic Party and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan as well as the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which fought for greater Kurdish autonomy in Turkey for three decades.
When asked if the recent successes could embolden Syrian Kurdish forces to go beyond majority-controlled Kurdish areas, Muslim said they had no desire to head to Damascus to help topple Assad, but would aid all those in areas where Kurds and Arabs lived together.
“We are willing to go to places where we are living together. It is not our job to go to areas where there are no Kurds,” he said.
PEACE TALKS
Muslim said about 30 percent of Syria’s oil wells were under Kurdish control, but none were currently producing any oil, and there were no immediate plans to bring them into operation.
The Kurdish gains indirectly benefit Assad and his Shi’ite Muslim allies, as they mean more territory slipping out of Sunni Muslim rebel hands two and a half years into the revolt against Assad’s rule.
Despite allegations that his party had cooperated at some level with Assad, Muslim said there had been “no contact”.
“I don’t think Assad would accept autonomy for us because even until the last minute he refused.”
Syrian Kurds number over two million of the total of more than 25 million Kurds in Syria, Turkey, Iran and Iraq – a people often described as the world’s largest ethnic group without a state.
Rising Kurdish assertiveness in Syria puts Turkey in a tough position as it tries to make peace with the PKK.
Muslim said Turkey had not warned his group to stop its advances in Syria, but was trying to interfere.
“They are trying to divide the Kurds by bringing certain (Kurdish) parties into the (opposition) Syrian National Coalition (SNC),” he said. “They are just trying to keep the Kurds from representing themselves.”
Syria‘s Western-backed SNC opposition agreed on Monday to attend planned peace talks in Geneva on condition Assad played no part in a transitional government. Assad has rejected any precondition that he step down.
Muslim said he would only be ready to join the Geneva talks if there was a separate Kurdish delegation.

SPECIAL PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 166C

The current Mahdi Army of Shiite cleric Muqtada, that now classifies itself as operating for the glory of the new Iraqi Jihad, will be overcome by the American forces, but the Islamic dream of the Messianic Mahdi coming to deliver them in a massive, consolidated end time Jihad, will not die, and will, in the end of this age, generate an Islamic empire led by the Imam Mahdi himself. (See Special Prophecy Update 165B in our Prophecy Archives). And one of the end time major events, associated with the time span of the Islamic Messiah’s rule, is called a mystery by both Paul and John in the New Testament.
Words That Are Laid Out To Describe an End Time Mystery!
I Corinthians 15:51,52 – Behold, I SHEW (LEGO) you a MYSTERY; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST (HESCHATOS) trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
SHEW – LEGO – This is the only place in the Bible that LEGO is translated as SHEW. LEGO means “to lay out before.” In this context it would mean “to lay out before the listener in words.”
LAST – HESCHATOS – In reference to time, it means the last thing that completes an action or event. The use of the word, in this context, means that other trumpets had sounded before it, probably in a lengthy series, for if there had only been say one, two, or three, then saying the second or third would have been the normal pattern exhibited in scripture, such as the second or third woe in Revelation.
Paul was “laying out with words” the events of a MYSTERY that would be FULFILLED when the LAST TRUMP sounded.
More than 20 years after Paul’s death, John described the FINISH of the MYSTERY that Paul had previously LAID OUT WITH WORDS, which described some of the events associated with it.
