Turkey Gobbles Europe: Jonathan Cahn Examines Turkey’s Rise Through Prophetic Mystery of Pergamon
Europe may be facing a geopolitical threat hiding in plain sight. Jonathan Cahn, the New York Times bestselling author of The Altar of Pergamon: The Mystery of the Dark Angel and the Future of the World, has a uniquely provocative framework for understanding why Turkey’s growing influence could have implications far beyond the Middle East. Cahn’s new book examines the ancient Pergamon altar and its connection to Revelation’s reference to the place “where Satan’s throne is.” Pergamon was located in what is now Turkey.

- Turkey’s strategic rise could reshape Europe and the Middle East
- Erdogan’s Ottoman ambitions intersect with the Muslim Brotherhood’s growing influence
- Assad’s fall may have strengthened Turkey at Israel’s expense
- Israel now identifies Turkey as its greatest emerging regional threat
- Pergamon’s biblical prophecy takes on startling relevance in modern Turkey
Today, Turkey occupies an extraordinary strategic position. It straddles Europe and Asia, controls the gateway between the Black Sea and Mediterranean, and maintains NATO’s second-largest military after the United States. Under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Cahn can explainTurkey has increasingly projected itself as a regional power with ambitions that evoke, at least rhetorically, aspects of its Ottoman past.
Cahn is the Man
Cahn raises a provocative question: Could Turkey ultimately become the power that “gobbles up” Europe—not through conventional conquest, but through demographic change, political influence and the strategic exploitation of mass Muslim migration, asks Cahn?
The Muslim Brotherhood adds another layer. Founded in Egypt but now part of a sprawling international Islamist network, the organization has historically sought to reshape societies through political and religious influence. Erdoğan has cultivated relationships with Islamist movements while presenting Turkey as a leader of the broader Muslim world. Cahn can explain what the resurgence of Ottoman-era symbolism and Islamist political influence could mean for Europe’s future.
Then there is Syria, says Cahn.
Cahn says the United States has now removed Syria from its State Sponsors of Terrorism list, opening the door to investment and economic engagement. Yet Syria’s post-Assad leadership raises profound questions about the strategic consequences. If the fall of Bashar al-Assad ultimately strengthened Turkey’s regional position, the United States and Israel may have inadvertently helped create a geopolitical reality they may now have to confront.
Those questions become even more striking given the latest development: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is now identifying Turkey as Israel’s newest major enemy.
How did Turkey go from NATO ally to potential Israeli adversary? Why is Washington obligated to defend Turkey as a NATO member while Israel remains outside the alliance? And what happens if America is eventually forced to choose between a NATO partner increasingly hostile to Israel and its closest Middle Eastern ally?
For Cahn, these developments are particularly significant because they converge with the mystery at the heart of The Altar of Pergamon. The ancient city of Pergamon—modern-day Turkey—is explicitly identified in Revelation as the location of Satan’s throne. Cahn can explore whether the remarkable geopolitical developments unfolding in modern Turkey have any prophetic significance—and why the ancient biblical mystery of Pergamon may suddenly seem more relevant than ever.
