I wonder what caused him to go into the deep end? Any ideas?
This reminds me of an Old Testament passage...
Ezekiel 18
24 “But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity and does according to all the abominations that a wicked man does, will he live? All his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered for his treachery which he has committed and his sin which he has committed; for them he will die. 25 Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not right.’ Hear now, O house of Israel! Is My way not right? Is it not your ways that are not right? 26 When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity and dies because of it, for his iniquity which he has committed he will die. 27 Again, when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness which he has committed and practices justice and righteousness, he will save his life. 28 Because he considered and turned away from all his transgressions which he had committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 29 But the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not right.’ Are My ways not right, O house of Israel? Is it not your ways that are not right?
I have been told that when Erdogan first came into politics he had sympathy to the Kurds, and they supported him in office.
Then when he was established, he turned on them. Has been nothing but cruel to them for many years now.
He is arrogant and thinks he is chosen to rule the NeoOttoman empire.
Arrogance before the fall.
