Prophetic Significance of The Current Occupation in Afghanistan
!!The official twitter for Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan (the “new name” of Afghanistan after it was taken over by the Taliban) includes a quote that says, “Black flags will rise from khurasan, and nothing will be able to return them…”
This is a concern because of what the rest of the quote, that is not posted on the page, says. This is known as the Hadith of Black Flags:
“There will emerge from Khorasan black banners which nothing will repel until they are set up in Jerusalem” (Da’if)
— Ahmad in al-Musnad, 14/383

2 Things to note. They believe this is of prophetic significance, and that the goal is to make their way toward JERUSALEM. If that doesn’t spark enough red flags, let’s keep looking.
“When the black flags come from Khorasan go to them, even if you have to crawl on snow, for among them is the Khalifa from Allah, the Mahdi“
— Abd al-‘Alim in al-Mahdi al-Muntazar
“Surely black flags will appear from the Khorasan until the people (under the leadership of this flag) will tie their horses with the olive trees between Bait-e-Lahya and Harasta (names of places in Jerusalem)”
— Nuaim Ibn Hammad in Kitab Al-Fitan

Quote from source to be noted: “The next hadith tells us there will be six years from when the black banners head towards Israel and when Imam Mahdi (ra) emerges.”
“Three will fight one another for your treasure, each one of them the son of a caliph, but none of them will gain it. Then the black banners will come from the east, and they will kill you in an unprecedented manner. When you see them, then pledge your allegiance to them even if you have to crawl over the snow, for that is the caliph from Allah, Mahdi” (Da’if)
— Sunan Ibn Majah, 4084

If you haven’t put the pieces together yet, let’s look at who the Mahdi is.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/mahdi
“in Islamic eschatology, a messianic deliverer who will fill earth with justice and equity, restore true religion, and usher in a short golden age lasting seven, eight, or nine years before the end of the world.”
-Encyclopedia Britannica
See: https://sunnah.com/abudawud/38/7
Now let’s put this in Biblical Context:
He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.”
Daniel 9:27
15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.
[…]
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Matthew 24:15-21, 29-30

Ezekiel 38
The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him 3 and say, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
4 And I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great host, all of them with buckler and shield, wielding swords. 5 Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all his hordes; Beth-togarmah from the uttermost parts of the north with all his hordes—many peoples are with you.
Gog = Person / Antichrist *
Magog = Land = Turkey*
*Revelation 20 seems to point to a remnant of this evil kingdom leading the final rebellion against Christ at the end of the Millennial Kingdom.
Meshech = North of the Black Sea, Turkey/Ukraine/Southern Russia
Tubal = Mersin and Adana, Turkey
Persia = Iran
Cush = Ethiopia
Put = Libya
Gomer = Turkey

Erdogan’s quest for new Ottoman Empire mapped out
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord God: On that day when my people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know it? 15 You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great host, a mighty army. 16 You will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.
19 For in my jealousy and in my blazing wrath I declare, On that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20 The fish of the sea and the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the people who are on the face of the earth, shall quake at my presence. And the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall tumble to the ground.
