Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg

Karl Guttenberg made the news again today:

The German Defence Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg today travels to Beijing, China, and will meet during a two-day visit the Vice President of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping, as well as his Chinese counterpart, General Liang Guanglie and the Chief of Staff of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), General Chen Bingde.

On 3 November 2010, Defence Minister zu Guttenberg will continue his trip to Mongolia where he will hold talks with the Mongolian President Tasakhia Elbegdorj, Prime Minister Sukhbaatar Batbold and Defence Minister Luvsanvandan Bold.

The scheduled talks in China and Mongolia will focus on security- and defence-political issues. http://www.defpro.com/news/details/19261/

It seems a little bit unusual that a German defense minister would go to China and Mongolia when there does not appear to be pressing issues between his country and theirs.

But then again, there have been many unusual developments involving Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg.

Some items for further related study may include:

Might German Baron Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg become the King of the North? Could He Become “the Beast”? What makes the German Defense Minister a candidate?
Who is the King of the North? Is there one? Do biblical and Roman Catholic prophecies point to the same leader? Should he be followed? Who will be the King of the North discussed in Daniel 11? Is a nuclear attack prophesied to happen to the English-speaking peoples of the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand? When do the 1335 days, 1290 days, and 1260 days (the time, times, and half a time) of Daniel 12 begin? When does the Bible show that economic collapse will affect the United States?
Europa, the Beast, and Revelation Where did Europe get its name? What might Europe have to do with the Book of Revelation? What about “the Beast”? Is an emerging European power “the daughter of Babylon”? What is ahead for Europe?

Regular readers of this page are aware that in my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect, I mention that there is potential that something developed from the CERN Large Hadron Collider could help the coming European Beast power fulfill biblical prophecies such as Revelation 13:3-4.

Something that I was unaware of when I wrote that book is that the logo of CERN is basically composed of what some consider to be 3 sixes.  A reader of this page got me to think about this when he sent me the following:

Cern’s logo, 666? Learn it’s true origin

Sept 10, 2008   excerpt…

Ok, you know what, I’m not going to embarrass the people who have confused CERN’s logo for the mark of the beast, specially since I’m nervous about this experiment myself. Below you will find out CERN’s logos true origin, and the logo that didn’t make the cut that would have really got everyone up in arms, which would have been understandable today.

CERN’s logo is taken from the design of synchrotron particle accelerators. Originally the design was going to resemble the outline of a schematic of a synchrotron, but the problem with that, CERN’s logo would have looked like a black hole.

Not good.

So what we did with this logo design was remove a couple lines, shorten and angle a line in the opposite direction, off center it all, then add another circle with a line sticking up to help break up the original design. And that’s how CERN’s logo came to be.So please, people… your souls are safe… for now.

And his comments were:

Of course, there are only 3 prominent long lines.  Leave out the 2 short lines and all you’ve got is three 6’s.

But there are only two loops for sixes–but this is still interesting.  CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research (Organisation Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire) .  Now, neither he or I do not believe that CERN is the Beast or even 666.  But we apparently both do believe it is an interesting coincidence that something resembling 666 is its logo.

The European empire is rising up.  And it has many indications of being the final Beast power of Revelation.  The CERN logo of itself is not significant, yet it is one more item to consider, as I still believe that CERN and/or its Large Hadron Collider are likely to develop a unique military capability for the Europeans.

Large Hadron Collider may result in military applications The Europeans have the largest physics project on the planet. Some scoff, but might it result in military applications? May the Large Hadron Collider help fulfill Revelation 13:4?

Dilma Rousseff

COGwriter

Brazil elected Dilma Rousseff as its president:

…President-elect Dilma Rousseff pledged to control inflation and rein in government spending.

Rousseff, who was hand-picked by incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to become his successor, won a run-off vote on Sunday. In her victory speech, she highlighted the need to maintain solid macroeconomic management, improve the quality of budget spending and stimulate private investment.  http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN0125915320101101

As the above states, Dilma Rousseff was hand-picked by the current president, Lula da Silva, to be his replacement.  I have seen reports that speculate that he choose her so that he would be able to run for president again when her term is up (this is similar to why many believe that Russia’s Vladimir Putin wanted Dmitry Medvedev to be Russia’s president).

Whether that is true or not remains to be seen. But what is true is that Brazil grew into a major international power under Lula da Silva’s presidency.  And that it hopes to make a bigger impact on the international community.

Consistent with biblical prophecy, and for reasons of religion, language, and culture, I believe Brazil will become a closer ally of the rising European power.
