DW: Is Europe bold enough to counter US ambivalence?

The German publication Deutsche Welle (DW) published the following:

Is Europe bold enough to counter US ambivalence?

16 February 2018

“The world is becoming less international and less orderly,” Ambassador Wolfgang Ischinger, chairman of the Munich Security Conference, posits in his “conversation starter” report, which puts much of the blame for the chaos on the United States under Donald Trump. …

Trump ambivalence expedites European urgency

Weary proponents of a more self-sufficient Europe, however, say this has been a blessing in disguise. Trump’s incessant bullying of European leaders over the transatlantic gap in military capabilities and freeloading on US security guarantees is not different from administrations past — it’s just more extreme.

But Trump’s clear ambivalence, even occasional animosity, toward Europe may finally have instilled the necessary amount of nervousness, according to Sven Biscop of Belgium’s Egmont Institute. “There is a strong sense, I think, among the [European Union] member states that somehow they need to pull together because nobody is going to come and save us,” he told DW. “I don’t think it has yet translated into sufficient will to really act in the world, but we’re getting there. And the more directly opposed to European interests US initiatives are, the more European action you will see.”

Biscop said that one of the most promising “European actions” is the creation of the defense initiative PESCO (Permanent Structured Cooperation) — a pact of 25 EU governmentsthat have pledged to design joint defense projects, pool money, assess resources and make collective decisions and deployments. Biscop said that PESCO would not compete with NATO, but complement it.

Promises, pledges with new EU pact

PESCO is coordinated by the European Defense Agency, whose chief executive, Jorge Domecq, told DW it would have to start producing results quickly. “Co-operation of all EU countries is essential now,” Domecq said, “with the security environment, with the changing technologies, with the rise of new powers, the call of citizens to really take defense more seriously. I think heads of state and government now realize the importance of this.”

At the same time, Domecq is concerned that Europe’s modest increase in defense investment will quickly be outpaced by Washington’s. He says that he has made it abundantly clear to the “America First” – oriented Trump administration that it needs to share its high-tech advances “technologically and industrially” so that allied armies can operate together. http://www.dw.com/en/is-europe-bold-enough-to-counter-us-ambivalence/a-42573001

It is interesting that Europe expects the USA to share its military technologies with it–this will give the Europeans a unique ability to successfully attack the USA–which will happen per Daniel 11:39. For more details, check out the article: USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses.

So, to answer DW’s question, yes, in time the Europeans will end up with a powerful military.

Consider also, as reported here BEFORE HIS ELECTION, various ones in Europe hoped that Donald Trump would become President of the USA as it would give more in Europe the impetus to arm and become a more substantial world power (see ‘Why Europe Secretly Roots For Donald Trump’?).

That is coming to pass.

For many decades, Church of God writers have written that Europe would end up with its own military–we are seeing this happen.

We have known this would happen because of various biblical prophecies.

Consider that Revelation 18 shows, that for a time, this Babylonian European power will dominate world trade. Some type of European unity would be needed for this to happen. Hence, the Common Market and now the European Union have been involved in steps to set this up.

The Bible, in Daniel 11:25, teaches that the Europeans would end up with a “great army.” Therefore, Europe needs to somehow develop its own army.

Daniel 2:41-43 shows that Europe, despite problems of getting along, will form a major union. So, when we see “bumps” along the road for European unity, we know that was prophesied.

While the current structure of Europe is not what the Bible prophesies, since Revelation 17:12-13 shows that Europe will reorganize (see also Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?), that does not stop us from accepting biblical prophecies for Europe and noticing steps that appear to align with what the Bible says will happen.

Revelation 13:1-4 shows that a seemingly defeated European power would rise again and become a military power. Europe has been written off as a major military power, but is working towards having one consistent with those prophecies.

Christians are not to be like those that walk by sight (cf. 2 Corinthians 5:7) and have written off prophecies (or at least do not properly understand them). Christians should be able to discern the season (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:3-6) and signs of the end (Luke 21:31-35).

Daniel 11:39 shows, which would coincide with the start of the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21; Jeremiah 30:7), that Europe will defeat the power with the strongest military. In these end times, that would have to be the USA and its closest military allies, like the United Kingdom and Canada (Australia and New Zealand will also be taken over).

Regarding end time matters, Jesus said to “Watch!” (Mark 13:37).

While the end is not yet (cf. Matthew 24:6), we are getting closer and are seeing steps around the world that are aligning with properly understood biblical prophecies.

The European Beast is in the process of militarily rising up.

Forbes’ Brexit Monster is the Beast of Revelation Various ones have been properly convinced that there is a plan for a European superstate.

Dr. Thiel cites news reports, as well as the Old and New Testaments, to show that the monster many fear will arise in Europe, despite the vote by the British to exit the European Union.
