Guttenberg Proposes Major Modernization of Germany’s Military

Karl-Theodor von und zu Guttenberg

Germany’s defense minister has once again in the news:

New York Times – Aug 18, 2010

BERLIN — On Friday, the German defense minister, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, is set to present to Chancellor Angela Merkel his plans to modernize the Bundeswehr, the country’s armed forces. From all accounts, it could be one of the most radical and long overdue shake-ups undertaken in decades by a defense minister. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/19/world/europe/19iht-letter.html

As regular readers of the COGwriter site are aware, I suspect that Karl Guttenberg is someone to watch for being the potential Beast, final King of the North in biblical prophecy. The above article also stated:

But Mr. Guttenberg has other big questions to answer. He has to explain to the public why Germany needs such a modern army.

Currently the average German probably wonders a bit about why Germany needs such a modern army. The reasons, however, are fairly clear. Germany relies too heavily on the USA for its defense and the USA is cutting is military spending. Without the USA, Germany is no match for Russia, should that nation get highly aggressive.

Now, a reason that will likely not be made public is that Germany needs a modern military to be able to take over the USA (Daniel 11:39). It also needs a modern military in order to fulfill the following biblical prophecy:

4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” (Revelation 13:4)

Germany is not yet ready to fulfill the above, but it is getting closer. Modernizing its military is one essential step to fulfill that prophecy.

While it is not yet clear if Karl Guttenberg will be the final King of the North, he remains one to watch.
