The European Central Bank pushed out the timing of its first post-crisis rate hike until 2020 at the earliest and offered banks new rounds of multi-year loans in a bid to revive the currency area’s slowing economy, it said on Thursday. .The bolder-than-expected move showed ECB was having to revisit plans to dial back its unprecedented stimulus measures as a global trade war, Brexit uncertainty and simmering debt concerns in Italy take their toll on a fragile euro zone. …
In addition, the ECB launched a third Targeted Long-Term Refinancing Operation (TLTRO III) consisting of two-year loans partly aimed at helping banks roll over 720 billion euros in existing TLTRO and avoid a credit squeeze that could exacerbate the current economic slowdown. …
“While the ECB still has some ammunition left, its arsenal lacks ‘easy’, cost-free options,” BNP Paribas said in a note to clients earlier this week. – Reuters https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/ecb-pushes-out-first-post-crisis-rate-hike-to-2020-1.3817782
Deutsche Bank shrunk the size of the bonus pool to around 2 billion euros ($2.3 billion), Bloomberg said, which is between 10% to 15% less than it paid out last year. The precise figure will be disclosed on March 22 when the firm releases its annual report.
The beleaguered banking giant has also reportedly considered closing its equities trading business after losing as much as $750 million last year, according to the Wall Street Journal. 03/06/19 https://www.businessinsider.com/deutsche-bank-slashed-its-bonus-pool-2019-3
So, Europe is having banking and other financial problems

Anyone who thinks Brexit is the only big threat to Europe Union needs to wake up and smell the smoke. …
Firestorm No. 1: Turkey Facing Depression and Default
Turkey is not a member of the EU, but it’s a close partner via the EU-Turkey Customs Union and a big debtor to EU banks. An implosion of its economy will hit the EU hard, and that implosion is already under way.
Last year, the value of the Turkish lira plunged 45 percent in just eight months. …
Firestorm No. 2: Greece’s Bad Debts Ready to Blow up Again
The Greek debt crisis is no longer in the headlines. But that doesn’t mean Greece’s bad debts have magically disappeared. …
Firestorm No. 3: European Banks on the Brink
As I showed you last week, Germany’s largest bank — Deutsche Bank — is the canary in the coal mine of Europe. Nearly 12 years ago, on May 23, 2007, its share price reached a high of $150.52. Now, even after a minor rally, it’s trading at $9.29.
But it’s not alone.
This broad index of European banks has plunged to all-time lows. https://moneyandmarkets.com/eu-three-debt-firestorms-raging/
While the Bible shows that Europe will dominate the world economically for a time (see Revelation 17 and 18), the Bible also shows Europe, itself, will have ups and downs first (cf. Daniel 2:41-43).
As far as banking and Europe goes, the late Herbert W. Armstrong stated the following in a sermon on July 7, 1984:
And I can see now, the event that is going to trigger the formation of the reunification in Europe; the resurrection of the medieval Holy Roman Empire that we’ve been looking forward to that is prophesied to come…
But I believe that some event is going to happen suddenly just like out a blue sky that is going to shock the whole world and is going to cause the nations in Europe to realize they must unite! … Well now I think I can see what may be the very event that is going to trigger…that is the economic situation in the world…
The whole banking structure in the United States is a network all jointed together. But not only that, one nation has to deal with other nations and imports and exports. And so they have to have a means of transforming money from one nation to another. And so the banking structure is international and interwoven…
Now when the financial structure breaks down, all civilization is going to break down…
It is quite likely that Europe will have a banking and/or other massive financial crisis within the next decade.
The ECB is seeing financial problems already.
Plus, there is the coming EU Parliament elections in May, yellow vest protests in France, anti-immigrant protests in Germany and Austria, plus dissent from Hungary and Poland.
What will happen because of a major crisis in Europe?
The one that will lead to the end?
The Bible shows that Europe will reorganize and turn power over to ten leaders who will then turn power over to a dictator:
12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)
These ten kings have no kingdom, but are to attain one. Thus, this is a type of reorganization in verse 12. Since they give their power to the Beast in verse 13, this is a second reorganization. The “beast” is not shown to have much power prior to Revelation 17:12-13. This beast would seem to have Assyrian roots per Isaiah 10:5-11, and hence would likely be someone from Germany or Austria (see also Germany in Biblical and Catholic Prophecy). This turnover of power to him results in a dictatorship–likely similar to the one led by Adolf Hitler (see also European Unity to be like Hitler?).
Notice that Revelation 17:12-13 does NOT say that ten existing nations will give their power to the Beast, but that ten kings who had not had a kingdom will get power and transfer it (for more on this, check out the article Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?).
The European Beast is also called the King of the North in the Book of Daniel. Catholic writings seem to refer to him as the Antichrist or one they call The Great Monarch.
While Europe is NOT yet ready for that reorganization, we are seeing events that will lead to it.
We also continue to see steps showing that the Anglo-American dominated world order will come to an end (watch also End of the Anglo-American Order and/or The New World Order Is Leaving the US Behind).
