So where are the seven churches today listed in the Book of Revelation? Why did they not survive? Did they have really bad Pastor’s? Unfaithful members? The answer is the Greco-Turkish War! (1919-1922) It was a war between Christians and Muslims! The reason for the Muslim victory over Asia Minor is a complicated one! First of all Greece itself was divided politically in regards to the war! Europe itself was war weary from WWI. The Bolshevik Russia Revolution forming Socialism wanted to work against Christian governments in the West! With the Treaty of Moscow in 1921 Russian sent money arms and ammunition to the Muslims in Turkey! Starting in 1920 they sent them 6000 rifles, 5 million rounds of ammunition, 17600 shells and 442 pounds of gold bullion! Over the next two years they increased their aid! Here is a quote from Ernest Hemingway who was a war correspondent at that time for the Toronto Star; “Another night a British destroyer stopped a boatload of Turkish Muslim women who were coming from Asia Minor. On being searched for arms they turned out to be men! They were all armed and later proved to be Kemalist officers sent to organize the Turkish population in the suburbs in case of an attack on Constantinople. (Later Istanbul). The Armistice of Mudanna on October 15, 1922 followed by the Treaty of Lausanne Greece and Turkey came to an agreement to exchange populations. Over one million Greek Orthodox Christians were displaced; most of them resettled in Attica and the newly incorporated territories of Macedonia and Thrace and were exchanged for about 500 thousand Muslims. So these church populations were displaced mentioned in the Book of Revelation. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
