Stephanie von Bismark’s father dies, husband Karl Guttenberg in Europe’s sidelines

Andreas Graf von Bismarck-Schoenhausen, father-in-law of former German Defense Minister, Baron Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg died. The following was written in German has basically been machine translated into the English language:

July 26, 2013

NOW must Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg (41) offer a strong shoulder: his wife Stephanie (36) mourns the death of her beloved father Andreas Graf von Bismarck-Schoenhausen. He died, according to the “Bild” newspaper at the age of 72 years, leaving his wife Charlotte, a native of Sweden, back alone.

In recent years it became quiet around the Guttenbergs. After the resignation of the defense minister because of the plagiarism scandal in 2011, Karl-Theodor fled with his family to the United States. Meanwhile, we see him again at lectures in Europe, even a return to politics is rumored. But now the Professional is only of secondary importance. Stephanie needs his full attention. http://www.bunte.de/society/stephanie-zu-guttenberg-sie-musste-von-ihrem-vater-abschied-nehmen_aid_44010.html

Count Andreas von Bismarck-Schönhausen was born 1941. His daughter, Countess Stephanie von Bismarck-Schönhausen, was born 1976.

The House of Bismarck is a German noble family that rose to great prominence with 19th-century statesman Otto von Bismarck, who was conferred the hereditary title of Prince of Bismarck in 1871…Two ships of the German Imperial Navy (Kaiserliche Marine), as well as a battleship from the World War II-era, were named after Otto von Bismarck. Also named in his honour were the Bismarck Sea and Bismarck Archipelago (both near the former German colony of New Guinea), as well as several places in the United States, among them Bismarck, North Dakota, the state’s capital.

Notice also the following about Karl Guttenberg and his family:

Karl-Theodor Maria Nikolaus Johann Jacob Philipp Franz Joseph Sylvester Freiherr von und zu Guttenberg does not have a snappy name. Perhaps that is why he is known in Bavaria as “the Rocking Baron”. Unusual…for a man whose family tree stretches back to the 12th century…Baron zu Guttenberg’s grandfather (his mother’s father) was the late German winemaker & Croatian politician the Count of Vukovar. From the Count, Baron zu Guttenberg is descended from the noble house of Eltz…At the ripe age of 70, the Count of Vukovar took up arms in defence of the town of Vukovar during the Yugoslav Wars of 1991…

The Baron’s wife, meanwhile, is Stephanie, Countess of Bismarck-Schönhausen, great-great-granddaughter of the “Iron Chancellor”, Otto von Bismarck. A portent of this economics minister’s future? (Cusack A. The Freiherr of Finance. October 5th, 2009, http://www.andrewcusack.com/2009/10/05/guttenberg-germany/ viewed 04/25/10).

I would also add that the mother of his wife Stephanie is Swedish. While she and her husband mourn the loss of her father, I still believe that there may well be a biblically prophetic future for Karl Guttenberg.

Perhaps I should mention that much of the time that Karl Guttenberg’s name is brought up by the online press it is in conjunction with him being involved in a plagiarism scandal that stripped him of his doctorate.

Baron Guttenberg was so embarrassed by the plagiarism scandal that he resigned as Germany’s Defense Minister. He then went on a self-imposed exile to the USA. He is one who, however, could possibly be the final Beast of biblical prophecy or at least one who may be involved in his rise. He has taken various steps consistent with Bible prophecy and at least partially fulfilled at least seven speculative predictions that I have made about him (see Might German Baron Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg become the King of the North?).

Notice the following about the man who will become the final King of the North, the Beast of the sea of Revelation 13:

21 “‘His place will be taken by a reject, a man spurned and passed over for advancement. He’ll surprise everyone, seemingly coming out of nowhere, and will seize the kingdom. (Daniel 11:21 from THE MESSAGE: The Bible in Contemporary Language © 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson. All rights reserved.)

Since the Bible teaches that the final Beast will have had troubles an/or rejection as Baron Guttenberg has, he remains one to watch.

Of course, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg could simply be a somewhat politician with many ups and downs. And all his intentions could be fine, despite him being repeatedly insulted. We will see.

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?

Is Russia the King of the North? Some claim it is. But what does the Bible teach?
Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European? The Book of Revelation tells of a beast power that will rise up. Some think that this must be Russia or could be Islamic, while others say that this power is European. The Book of Daniel tells of the rise of an end time King of the North that some think must be referring to a Russian leader, while others say that this power is European. How can you be sure? This YouTube video has all the scriptural proofs that you should need to prove that this power must be a European one.
