1000 YEARS = BYZANTINE EMPIRE

The revision of the Roman World 330 ad to 741ad, the Medieval Roman Empire 741 ad to 1453ad.

 On the morning ofApril 5, 1453, Muhammad II, sent a force of men, ships and cannons to surround Contantinople.The city had withstood 22 seiges over a thousand year period. However on April 6, 1453 under seige the fighting raged on both land and sea, under the last Emperor Constantine XI. Ottoman cannons pounded the city’s ancient 14 miles of walls.The cities harbor was secured with a strong chain boom, which the Ottoman navy was unsuccessful in its attempts to break through, protecting the city’s harbor on the Golden Horn. Unable to break through either land walls or the chain boom of the sea, Muhammed II devised a plan  to gain control of the harbor. His strategy called for the construction of  a timber causeway that would connect the Bosporus Strait with the Golden Horn. On April 22, 1453, Muhammad’s soldiers pulled 70 ships over a 200 foot ridge and into the Golden Horn. A spectacular feat which enabled the Ottomans to blockade Constantinople and attack the sea walls. Finally on May 28, 1453, the citizens of Constantinople, Greek and Latin, gathered together for a final mass at Hagia Sophia. The next day the Ottomans broke through a small gate that had been accidentally left unlocked. Seeing the breach, Constantine XI gallantly led a final attempt to save his city. He died a hero’s death at the side of his troops. With his death, the 1123 year old Byzantine Empire perished.  

Muhammed II, conqueror the land and entired Hagia Sophia and then thanked Allah for his victory. He then ordered Constantinople’s name changed to Istanbul (a Greek word for”into the city”), the new Ottoman Empire; Hagia Sophia was transformed into a Mosque.

A huge cresent arose as the symbol of the new Islamic Empire - replacing the Cross atop the Dome of Hagai Sophia.

Greeks and Latins mourned the end of the Byzantine Empire, Islamic Turks celebrated the emergence of the Ottoman State, as a great Imperial power. The empire extended its power across the Balkan Peninsula, the Danube valley into Hungary. Its advance was not stopped unitl 1529, as it was halted at Vienna, prior to its entrance into the heartland of Europe.

• Battle of Tours (732AD) Charles the Hammer of Franks vs. Abd er Rahman of Moors in France
•  The Golden Horde (1230AD) Batu Khan invades Eastern Europe, plans to invade Germany
•  Siege of Vienna (1529AD) Suleiman I of Ottomans vs. Charles II of Austria at Vienna.

The Only, I repeat the ONLY way Satan can be loosed by the permissive will of God is During the Times of the Gentiles.

Rev 20 the thousand years

Ish 24:22

Ish 42:22-25It is and always has been Gentile Nations used to punish Israel and vent God’s anger at their, according to Isaiah Wickedness, stubborness, disobedience despised Law, hardness and insensibility. (verses 22-25)

Recognize that Chapter 43 speaks of, ” Israel’s Only Savior”; as well as, God’s mercy and Israel’s unfaithfulness… Remember, at verse 25, God speaks, “ I, even I, am He who blots out your transgression, FOR MY OWN SAKE, and remembers your sins no more.”    

Chapter 44, Isaiah

ISRAEL the CHOSEN  

44:1 Yet now hear, O Jacob My servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen;

44:2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, who will help thee: Fear not, O Jacob My servant, and thou, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

44:3 For I will pour water upon the thirsty land, and streams upon the dry ground; I will pour My spirit upon thy seed, and My blessing upon thine offspring;

44:4 And they shall spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.

44:5 One shall say: ‘I am the LORD’S’; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

44:6 Thus saith the LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer the LORD of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last, and beside Me there is no God.

44:7 And who, as I, can proclaim—let him declare it, and set it in order for Me—since I appointed the ancient people? And the things that are coming, and that shall come to pass, let them declare.

44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid; have I not announced unto thee of old, and declared it? And ye are My witnesses. Is there a God beside Me? Yea, there is no Rock; I know not any.

44:9 They that fashion a graven image are all of them vanity, and their delectable things shall not profit; and their own witnesses see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.

44:10 Who hath fashioned a god, or molten an image that is profitable for nothing?

44:11 Behold, all the fellows thereof shall be ashamed; and the craftsmen skilled above men; let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; they shall fear, they shall be ashamed together.

44:12 The smith maketh an axe, and worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with his strong arm; yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth; he drinketh no water, and is faint.

44:13 The carpenter stretcheth out a line; he marketh it out with a pencil; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compasses, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man, to dwell in the house.

44:14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the ilex and the oak, and strengtheneth for himself one among the trees of the forest; he planteth a bay-tree, and the rain doth nourish it.

44:15 Then a man useth it for fuel; and he taketh thereof, and warmeth himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.

44:16 He burneth the half thereof in the fire; with the half thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied; yea, he warmeth himself, and saith: ‘Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire’;

44:17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image; he falleth down unto it and worshippeth, and prayeth unto it, and saith: ‘Deliver me, for thou art my god.’

44:18 They know not, neither do they understand; for their eyes are bedaubed, that they cannot see, and their hearts, that they cannot understand.

44:19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say: ‘I have burned the half of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh and eaten it; and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? Shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?’

44:20 He striveth after ashes, a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say: ‘Is there not a lie in my right hand?’

44:21 Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel, for thou art My servant; I have formed thee, thou art Mine own servant; O Israel, thou shouldest not forget Me.

44:22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins; return unto Me, for I have redeemed thee.

44:23 Sing, O ye heavens, for the LORD hath done it; shout, ye lowest parts of the earth; break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein; for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and doth glorify Himself in Israel.

44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, and He that formed thee from the womb: I am the LORD, that maketh all things; that stretched forth the heavens alone; that spread abroad the earth by Myself;

44:25 That frustrateth the tokens of the imposters, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;

44:26 That confirmeth the word of His servant, and performeth the counsel of His messengers; that saith of Jerusalem: ‘She shall be inhabited’; and of the cities of Judah: ‘They shall be built, and I will raise up the waste places thereof’;

44:27 That saith to the deep: ‘Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers’;

44:28 That saith of Cyrus (Persian King Cyrus): ‘He is My shepherd, and shall perform all My pleasure’; even saying of Jerusalem: ‘She shall be built’; and to the temple: ‘My foundation shall be laid.’

Since most in Islam do not know their Islamic Heritage, they are left in the dark by their scholars who do know this material. Via Iran which essentially is Babylon; that history can be seen as follows:

2. no Gog or Magog
3. No surrounding the city of God’s people
