Pergamon in Turkey-
Berean Literal Bible
I know where you dwell, where the throne of Satan is; and you hold fast to My name, and you have not denied My faith, even in the days of Antipas My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

Turkey's president Erdogan called ALL Islamic nations to come together to resist Israeli "expansionism" as they responded to the october 7 terrorist attack.

Does this have relevance to 2025 when the church in Pergamon is gone and the entire city itself is just ancient ruins with nothing there. This referred to the temple of Zeus there.

But I don't understand (sorry!). If the Arabic consonants for the word "Islam" show that Islam is the beast, and the same consonants are bin "Solomon", how does that not indicate that Solomon, in your idea of how these things work, is not the beast?
There seems to be more than one person/place/thing that can satisfy the riddle. But it would need to be a kingdom with 7 heads that rules the world. I know many people think that the beast is an individual, but I think it is a kingdom. An individual doesn't have 10 horns/kings that are part of him. That's why I don't think the beast is Solomon, but Islam is one possible candidate.

It all sounds rather tenuous and cryptic. I don't believe that God presents His word to us as some kind of cryptic crossword puzzle. Certainly we have to study it, and compare scripture with scripture, but I ncannot agree that we are supposed to apply numbers from the letters that form names to work out what God's word says.

My theory is that the Beast will be head of a composite religious organisation. It will be Roman Catholicism, Islam and Judaism combined. They all claim to be "Abrahamic religions". There is a lot of effort to bring about a merger in the name of ecumenical unity. There is a building in Qatar that houses a mosque, synagogue and RC meeting place. Time will tell.

Agreed. One world religion, one world government.

The saddest aspect to me is how many Christians accept Islam as "Abrahamic". God told Abraham to drive out Hagar and Ishmael. Muslim nations have decided to do likewise to believers and Jews.
God also told Abraham that Ishmael would have many decendants. Im thinking muslims were part of the bigger plan for violence against Israel. Especially the closer we get to the end. And maybe to produce the antichrist.

The Lord raised up Babylon to punish Israel(Jeremiah 25:15-29)
