Donald Trump announces ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs and the world will look to be liberated from USA trade dependence

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025

COGwriter

Donald Trump declared today as ‘Liberation Day’:

Jesus was prophesied to proclaim liberty:

1 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,  (Isaiah 61:1-2)

As far as proclaiming liberty to the captives, that is one reason that the Continuing Church of God has had its English language booklet, The Gospel of the Kingdom of God, translated into over 1,500 languages and dialects.

That said, Donald Trump announcing tariffs does not bring liberty. Tariffs are a type of tax that increases the cost of goods–hence they tend to be inflationary. Additional taxes are not liberty (cf. 1 Samuel 8:14-17).

There will be many unintended consequences of Donald Trump’s statements and policies–yet true liberty will not be one of them.

Here is some information related to Donald Trump’s announcement as well as one of the many tariff charts he showed:

April 2, 2025

“Well we have some very, very good news today,” Trump began his address exclaiming that “This is Liberation Day.”

“April 2, 2025, will forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn, the day America’s destiny was reclaimed and the day that we began to make America wealthy again,” Trump says.

“For decades, our country has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe alike. American steel workers, auto workers, farmers and skilled craftsmen — we have a lot of them here with us today. They really suffered gravely.”

“In a few moments, I will sign a historic Executive Order, reciprocal tariffs on countries throughout the world. Reciprocal. That means they do it to us and we do it to them. Very simple. Can’t get any simpler than that.”

Trump lays out his theory that tariffs will bring back a “golden age” for the US, a phrase he also used in his inaugural address:

“Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country, and you see it happening already. We will supercharge our domestic industrial base.”

Trump says the reciprocal tariffs will bring “stronger competition and lower prices for consumers” in the US.

Finally, Trump announces his tariff plan details as a “Declaration Of Economic Independence”

Specifically, Trump announced a baseline tariff rate of 10% for all countries (below the 15% consensus and 20% worst case) beginning April 5th.

Trump confirmed the 25% tariff on all auto imports.

BUT, specific reciprocal tariffs for ‘bad actors’ starting on April 9th.

Additionally, Trump said they will not be full reciprocal tariffs, then held a chart up showing the individual nation (trade-weighted average) tariff levels …

Mexico and Canada are not on the list as US will continue to exempt USMCA-compliant goods. 

For Canada and Mexico, the existing fentanyl/migration IEEPA orders remain in effect, and are unaffected by this order. This means USMCA compliant goods will continue to see a 0% tariff, non-USMCA compliant goods will see a 25% tariff, and non-USMCA compliant energy and potash will see a 10% tariff. In the event the existing fentanyl/migration IEEPA orders are terminated, USMCA compliant goods would continue to receive preferential treatment, while non-USMCA compliant goods would be subject to a 12% reciprocal tariff.

The UK, Australia, Gibraltar, and New Zealand are all at 10%, whereas the EU is 20% and the Falkland Islands is 41%.

There will be many unintended consequences. Many nations will start to look at places other than the USA to trade with.

Notice also the following with Europe:

2 April 2025

A trade war between the European Union and the United States will “affect everyone,” António Costa has warned in an exclusive interview with Euronews.

The European Union must react in a “firm but smart manner” to the reciprocal tariffs that Donald Trump is set to unveil, António Costa has said, hoping the American president will row back on his plan before a devastating trade war erupts.

“This is truly a major economic mistake for the United States and also for Europe and the entire world,” the president of the European Council told Euronews in an interview. …

“We must respond in a firm but also smart manner,” Costa said in the interview.

“That means we must reach a negotiated solution. Tariffs mean taxes. Taxes that American consumers will pay, that American companies will pay. It won’t be good for Americans but it will also be bad for Europeans,” he added. …

The European Commission, which has exclusive competence to determine the EU’s trade policy, is expected to unveil retaliatory measures between Thursday and Friday. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/04/02/eu-must-be-firm-but-smart-against-trumps-big-mistake-on-tariffs-says-antonio-costa

For years I have warned that pushing Europe to increase its military spending would result in Europe deciding how to spend its funds. For some reason many US officials have not fully understood that as the following shows:

US officials object to European push to buy weapons locally

April 2, 2025

U.S. officials have told European allies they want them to keep buying American-made arms, amid recent moves by the European Union to limit U.S. manufacturers’ participation in weapons tenders, five sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The messages delivered by Washington in recent weeks come as the EU takes steps to boost Europe’s weapons industry, while potentially limiting purchases of certain types of U.S. arms. …

Trump has urged European allies to spend more on defense and take greater responsibility for their own security. As it does so, the EU is looking to bring manufacturing in-house in light of the U.S. president’s suggestions that his commitment to NATO is not absolute. That runs counter to another Trump administration goal, which is to open foreign markets to U.S. manufacturers.

The mid-March defense proposal by the European Commission, dubbed ReArm Europe, included a plan to borrow 150 billion euros ($162 billion) for loans to EU governments to spend on defense projects. Many EU governments say they are in favor of a more pan-European approach to defense. … several sources said the U.S. emphasis on the matter has intensified in recent weeks as the EU has moved more decisively to decouple its weapons procurement.

“They are upset about ReArm proposal and that the U.S. is excluded,” said one senior European source. https://www.reuters.com/world/us-officials-object-european-push-buy-weapons-locally-2025-04-02/

The BBC noted:

2 April 2025

President Trump has been adamant that the tariffs will be “reciprocal” … In industry, there is some expectation that the European Union will target US tech companies.  …

Trade wars are hard to win, and easy for everyone to lose. … the US is moving away from this world.

If the US overplays its hand in alienating its allies today, China will be waiting. The hit to US business in Europe, for example, could be offset by cheaper electronics, clothes, and toys from the East arriving in the UK and lowering prices, diverted from the US market.

What starts later today is designed not just to reshape America, and trade, but the way the world itself has been run.

There will be many unintended consequences of Donald Trump’s statements and policies, including relating to trade and tariffs. Notice something from my latest book available at Amazon Kindle: Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? as well as Amazon print Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies?:

Trade

Historically, Donald Trump has called for “fair trade” and indicated that various nations, including several in Asia, are not engaged in fair trade, so he has proposed high tariffs.[i]

Donald Trump has called tariffs, “the most beautiful word in the dictionary” and even proposed massive tariffs (up to 2000%) on Mexico if it will not do what he wants.[ii] He has basically also proposed a minimum of 10% tariffs on goods from much of the rest of the world.

Some believe that Donald Trump’s positions on trade will lead to a global trade war.[iii] Europe has said it will hit back against Donald Trump’s tariff policies.[iv] It is my position that trade disputes will be a factor in Europe taking military action against the USA one day.

One of the unintended consequences of Donald Trump’s threats of tariffs and other trade matters is that it is motivating nations he has threatened to look to trade more with each other.

The morning after his reelection, I wrote:

According to the major media, Donald Trump won re-election. … Europe will get more serious about trade deals with others internationally, such as being more motivated to approve the trade deal with the Mercosur block of South America.[v]

On December 6, 2024, Politico reported that the European Union approved the massive Mercosur trade deal, despite opposition from France and others, and also pointed to Donald Trump’s reelection as a factor.[vi]

Donald Trump’s tariff and other economic policies are getting the Gentile nations of Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia to look to trade more with each other. An unintended consequence of his rhetoric and policies is that they are encouraging the end-time rise of the final time of the Gentiles.

Energy and climate policy differences between the Europeans and Donald Trump look to increase the negative view many in Europe already have about the USA. …

  • Pushing tariffs and other policies that foreign nations do not like is contributing to other nations looking to bypass the USA dollar, as well as trade more with each other and less with the USA. This will further push various globalist’s moves forward without the USA. This is also helping set the stage for the coming European Babylonian Beast to dominate international trade.

(Thiel B. Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? Nazarene Books, 2025)

Donald Trump has announced tariffs consistent with what was warned above.

More of the world’s nations are starting to look away from the USA for trade.

The Bible shows that Europe will, temporarily, dominate trade, which means that the USA will not:

3 … all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury. (Revelation 18:3)

9 The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her … 19 in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! (Revelation 18:9,19)

Europe does not have to be perfect to do this, but perceived for a time, as the best economic option for the world.

Although it does not look like that now to most people, Europe is prophesied to do so.

The reelection of Donald Trump has accelerated the desire of the Europeans–and others–to secure trade deals outside of the USA.

Biblical prophecies will come to pass.

We continue to see steps that are aligning with them.

German press wants gold repatriated and removed from the USA

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025


(Photo via UnSplash)

COGwriter

Donald Trump’s tariff statements and actions have had a variety of unintended consequences. One of which looks to be a factor in increasing the price of gold.

Gold rises as markets await US tariffs …

2 April 2025

Gold has risen by around 0.5% is hovering near the record high hit yesterday. https://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2025/apr/02/global-investors-cautious-gold-rises-markets-await-liberation-day-tariff-announcement-business-live

When gold goes up against the US dollar, that means that the value of the US dollar goes down. Actually one gram of gold is reportedly now worth more than a US $100 bill:

As of today, a $100 bill now weighs more than $100 worth of gold…

April 1, 2025

In other words, a $100 bill is not worth its weight in gold…

Since gold just hit $3,121.60 per ounce and a $100 bill weighs 1 gram, a gram of gold is now worth (at time of posting) about $100.37—slightly more than a $100 bill… https://strangesounds.substack.com/p/as-of-today-a-100-bill-now-weighs

And while the value of gold can drop, the long-term reality is that the value of the US dollar has been dropping, and ultimately will be worthless when gold will still retain value (cf. Daniel 11:39-43).

That said, notice also the following about gold and Germany:

Desperate in Deutschland

April 1, 2025

Germany has the second-largest gold reserves in the world (on paper, at least). The country’s official holdings clock in at 3,352 tons, behind only the United States’ 8,133 tons.

About 37% of Germany’s gold, 1,236 tons, is held by the New York Federal Reserve. The gold was moved to the U.S. for safekeeping in the aftermath of WW2, when the threat of Soviet tanks charging through the Fulda Gap loomed large.

Back in 2013, German politicians first raised a stink about bringing their gold back home. By 2017 a decent chunk the nation’s gold had been returned to Germany’s central bank, mostly from France and England.

Only about 300 tons of that came from the NY Fed, which brings us to today, when more than a third of German gold still sits in NY Fed vaults beneath Manhattan.

Today German conservatives are once again lobbying to at least be able to inspect their reserves at the NY Fed, which they still haven’t been able to do.

Here’s a recent quote by Michael Jager, of the European Taxpayers Association. From the German tabloid Bild:

The Bundesbank and the German government must demonstrate foresight in this phase of global power shifts and immediately retrieve German gold from the USA. Especially at a time when Berlin and Brussels are discussing immense new debt, we need immediate access to all gold reserves in an emergency.

That quote is from a Bild article dramatically titled Bring our gold back from the USA immediately!: …

Governments are no longer as trusting when it comes to gold reserves held by foreign central banks.

This is yet another signal that we are nearing the end of this period of fiat currency dominance. https://dailyreckoning.com/desperate-in-deutschland/

Germany thought about doing more of this back in 2020 if Donald Trump were to be re-elected then:

Will Germany Repatriate its Gold From New York If Trump Wins the Election?

October 28, 2020

During the Trump administration political ties between the U.S. and Germany have critically deteriorated. Recently, the U.S. imposed sanctions on companies working on Nord Stream 2, and announced to withdraw 12,000 troops from Germany. In 2013, when Germany repatriated gold from the U.S., the Germans communicated: we will not be threatened.

Gold is a political metal. “Whoever has the gold makes the rules,” as the saying goes. Because gold serves as the backstop of the international financial system, the global distribution of gold influences the balance of power. This is true for gold ownership, but it also applies to storage locations. The more of its gold reserves Germany stores at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the more leverage the U.S. has over Germany. …

Since the launch of the Eurosystem Germany has been repatriating gold. Currently, Germany has 1,698 tonnes (50%) stored on its own soil, 1,236 tonnes (37%) stored in the U.S., and 432 tonnes (13%) in the U.K. Officially, Germany has the second largest gold reserves in the world at 3,366 tonnes. …

Germans are no fan of Trump. The annual “The Fears of the Germans” survey, performed by R+V Versicherung, shows that in 2020 the people in Germany fear nothing more than Trump’s foreign policy. …

Germany might be waiting for the elections in the U.S., because Biden can change America’s foreign policy. If Trump wins, and trans-Atlantic alliances further deteriorate, I wouldn’t be surprised if Germany brings more gold home. The consequences will be significant. One, if Germany repatriates because of a political dispute, this can incentivize other countries to repatriate from New York as well, causing a run on the Fed. Second, Germany would emphasize the importance of gold, which hurts the credibility of the dollar. https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/will-germany-repatriate-its-gold-new-york-if-trump-wins-election

As far as gold goes, notice something from my latest book available at Amazon Kindle: Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? as well as Amazon print Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies?:

Since many are now questioning the role of the USA dollar as the world’s reserve currency, more are looking into other currencies as well as gold.

Gold will set records in U.S. dollar terms. … gold will set further records in U.S. dollar terms in the relatively near future.

It has been asserted that:

The only replacement for fiat {currency} is a currency credibly backed by gold.[i]

Although the above can be debated, the reality is after the elimination of the USA and the crash of its dollar, the world will want something more stable than unbacked currency. Thus, it is likely that some type of gold-backed currency will emerge as the preferred reserve currency in the world.

It has long been reported that various nations around the world are already in the process of accumulating gold to one day overthrow the U.S. dollar—and that the “U.S. is unprepared for this strategic alternative to dollar dominance.”[ii] Various steps were also taken in 2022 and 2024.[iii]

When the U.S. dollar totally collapses people all around the world will consider that even if the euro (or something similar) is strong, having a more gold-backed currency would be safer.

The collapse of the USA dollar will shake a lot of the world’s confidence in non-gold backed currencies. The Europeans do not have to have a perfect currency, only one that is perceived to be in better shape than the USA dollar or various other currencies.

Having the European power acquiring more gold to back the Euro or possibly another future European currency (that might potentially replace the Euro or even a basket of currencies) may greatly increase European credibility, prosperity, and influence around the globe, even if the backing is only implied. (pp. 205-207)

(Thiel B. Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? Nazarene Books, 2025, pp. 205-207)

And we have already seen gold hit a record price multiple times since that book came out in mid-January 2025.

While I am NOT a “gold bug” as I understand how some define that term, Bible prophecy shows that gold and silver will have value into at least part of the Great Tribulation–which means it will have value AFTER the USA dollar is done.

Notice the following prophecies related to the coming European (at least partially German per Isaiah 10:5-12) King of the North:

37 He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. 38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.

40 “At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. 41 He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; (Daniel 11:37-43)

If gold and silver were of no value then, then they would not be precious (see also Zechariah 14:13-14) to the King of the North. The Bible clearly shows that gold and silver will be of value into the time of the final Babylon (Revelation 18:11-16). It may well be that the King of the North will realize that his currency needs more gold-backing as the collapsing of the USA dollar will likely send shockwaves against other paper currencies. Gold will help stabilize whatever currency he is supporting. He even may start amassing gold prior to the invasion of the USA (Daniel 11:37-39), but will clearly do so afterwards when he invades the King of the South (Daniel 11:40-43).

The fact that more in Germany want to repatriate gold is consistent with those prophecies in the Book of Daniel.

Shortly after Donald Trump became USA president, the Continuing Church of God put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:


10:08
In February 2017, Germany announced that it repatriated more of its gold three years ahead of schedule. Why would Germany do this? Are various nations accumulating gold with the intention to dethrone the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency? Will the US dollar ever collapse? Does the Bible teach that gold will have value after the currency of the USA is no more? Will gold deliver people in the end? What does the Bible teach?

Here is a link to our video: Germany, Gold, and the US Dollar.

So, yes it is interesting that the idea that Germany may repatriate more of its gold.

Germany, and much of the rest of Europe, is in the process of decoupling more and more from the USA.

Scientists release plans for an even bigger atom smasher to address the mysteries of physics

April 1, 2025

GENEVA (AP) — Top minds at the world’s largest atom smasher have released a blueprint for a much bigger successor that could vastly improve research into the remaining enigmas of physics.

The plans for the Future Circular Collider — a nearly 91-kilometer (56.5-mile) loop along the French-Swiss border and below Lake Geneva — published late Monday put the finishing details on a project roughly a decade in the making at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. …

“Ultimately what we would like to do is a collider which will come up with 10 times more energy than what we have today,” said Arnaud Marsollier, a CERN spokesman. “When you have more energy, then you can create particles that are heavier.”

The blueprint lays out the proposed path, environmental impact, scientific ambitions and project cost. Independent experts will take a look before CERN’s two dozen member countries — all European except for Israel — decide in 2028 whether to go forward … https://apnews.com/article/cern-future-circular-collider-switzerland-france-physics-2eb0b838b11940b3ab70d0a872ca4fdd

The Large Hadron Collider project is a European, not an American one.

The Europeans would not want to spend more on this project unless they saw potential in this.

As far as CERN’s comments about being able to “create particles that are heavier,” the end of last year they got their heaviest particle yet:

The heaviest antimatter particle is found in the Large Hadron Collider

December 30, 2024

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (CERN), the world’s most powerful elementary particle booster, have discovered the heaviest form of antimatter ever observed. This discovery is as significant as previous achievements at CERN, in particular the discovery of the Higgs boson and studies of B-meson decay.

The ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) has discovered an antimatter particle, antihyperhelium-4. It is the “evil twin” of another exotic particle, hyperhelium-4. This form of antimatter consists of two antiprotons, an antineutron, and an unstable antilambda particle, which in turn contains quarks. https://universemagazine.com/en/the-heaviest-antimatter-particle-is-found-in-the-large-hadron-collider/

The work being done in at the LHC facility is mainly for Europe (CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research) and has destructive potential. Yes, there is military potential from the world’s biggest physics project–and with Europe concerned about the USA, that is probably another reason why CERN is pushing for an even larger supercollider.

This European LHC project has been heavily focused on various small particles and subatomic items, including antimatter. When the Large Hadron Collider was in its infancy, many scientists doubted that antimatter could be produced and captured. But the LHC disproved that as it was able to produce and store antimatter.

As far as antimatter goes, here are some comments from NASA from the past:

Antimatter is real stuff, not just science fiction. Antimatter is firmly in the realm of science with some aspects even entering the technology realm. There is also a lot of speculation about what one might do with antimatter.

What is Antimatter?

Antimatter is matter with its electrical charge reversed. Anti-electrons, called “positrons,” are like an electron but with a positive charge. Antiprotons are like protons with a negative charge. Positron, antiprotons and other antiparticles can be routinely created at particle accelerator labs, such as CERN in Europe, and can even be trapped and stored for days or weeks at a time. And… they made antihydrogen for the first time. It didn’t last long, but they did it.

It costs far more energy to create antimatter than the energy one could get back from an antimatter reaction. … Something to keep in mind, too, is that antimatter reactions – where antimatter and normal matter collide and release energy, require the same safety precautions as needed with nuclear reactions. http://www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/technology/warp/antistat.html

Notice that NASA acknowledges that CERN with its LHC has produced and stored antimatter, that antimatter collection is expensive, and that antimatter is dangerous. And it is something that Europe has decided to continue to research and produce.

Here is something at a CERN-related website:

In 1928, British physicist Paul Dirac wrote down an equation that combined quantum theory and special relativity to describe the behaviour of an electron moving at a relativistic speed. The equation – which won Dirac the Nobel Prize in 1933 – posed a problem: just as the equation x2 = 4 can have two possible solutions (x = 2 or x = −2), so Dirac’s equation could have two solutions, one for an electron with positive energy, and one for an electron with negative energy. But classical physics (and common sense) dictated that the energy of a particle must always be a positive number.

Dirac interpreted the equation to mean that for every particle there exists a corresponding antiparticle, exactly matching the particle but with opposite charge. For example, for the electron there should be an “antielectron”, or “positron”, identical in every way but with a positive electric charge. The insight opened the possibility of entire galaxies and universes made of antimatter.

But when matter and antimatter come into contact, they annihilate – disappearing in a flash of energy. …

At CERN, physicists make antimatter to study in experiments. The starting point is the Antiproton Decelerator, which slows down antiprotons so that physicists can investigate their properties. accessed 12/30/24 http://home.web.cern.ch/topics/antimatter

In May of 2009, Dan Brown’s movie, Angels & Demons, pretended to have antimatter captured from part of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. A couple of years later, it was actually done at CERN:

Antimatter captured by CERN scientists in dramatic physics breakthrough

Antimatter has been captured by scientists for the first time in a physics breakthrough that echoes the hit Hollywood movie Angels & Demons.

Physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva have created the stuff of “Star Trek” for the first time ever: genuine antimatter.

A 17-member team announced the production and preservation of 38 antihydrogen atoms. Physicists Emilio Segre and Owen Chamberlain of the University California, Berkeley, earned the 1959 Nobel Prize for producing part of an antihydrogen atom, antiprotons. (Martin M. Antimatter captured by CERN scientists in dramatic physics breakthrough. TechNews World, November 18, 2010. http://www.technewsworld.com/story/CERN-Physicists-Create-Antimatter-and-Could-Build-a-Bomb-in-a-Billion-Years-71269.html?wlc=1290143968)

June 5, 2011

CERN scientists have now been able to isolate unstable antimatter for a grand total of nearly 17 minutes. That’s a far cry from experiments performed last fall, when scientists were only able to record the presence of antimatter for fractions of seconds. The increased longevity should now give researchers the time they need to perform studies on antiatoms related to change-parity-time reversal (CPT) symmetry.  http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2386429,00.asp

In the Angels & Demons movie, antimatter played an important role. In Angels & Demons, someone stole captured antimatter from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider on behalf of one trying to be an antipope. When the movie came out, many scientists considered antimatter only existed in science fiction, or at best only existing for a fraction of a second.  Yet, now it is considered to be a fact of science–and can exist for significant amounts of time (it is my understanding that CERN stopped holding it after 17 minutes, not that 17 minutes is the limit to its existence).

Antimatter is dangerous and CERN is learning more about it.

Now if the Large Hadron Collider does have military potential, which I have long indicated that it does, all should understand that it is likely that the Europeans and not the Americans will benefit from it. That will probably also include items related to its claimed find of pentaquarks. As well as possibly quark-gluon plasma, sometimes called strangelets, various particles, dark matter, dark energy, and observations of how certain things act/react (more on these items can be found in the article The Large Hadron Collider has Military Potential).

European technology is moving ahead.

I believe that CERN’s LHC, combined with Germany’s FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) project (which is not yet completely built), along with other technology, like its helium fusion stellarator (see Germany’s functional stellarator, Donald Trump, and ‘the unthinkable’), will help the Europeans rise economically and/or produce military weaponry to fulfill certain end time prophecies.

Some consider that CERN’s logo is 666, even though its logo is a bit more like 6666:

While I do not believe that CERN is the 666 that the Bible warns about, I expect it to be on the same side that 666 is on. I first pointed out the 666 connection to CERN when I posted about it on November 1, 2010 (see CERN logo is 666?).

Let me add that there is a statue of the Hindu god Shiva (also referred to as “Nataraja”) right outside CERN headquarters…

CERN Shiva

http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=470#xqaMxR6H0BHTH4LX.99

Yes, the statue of Shiva  is there. Here is some information about Shiva:

Lord Shiva is the destroyer of the world, following Brahma the creator and Vishnu the preserver, after which Brahma again creates the world and so on. Shiva is responsible for change both in the form of death and destruction and in the positive sense of destroying the ego, the false identification with the form. (Shiva. http://www.sanatansociety.org/hindu_gods_and_goddesses/shiva.htm#.V30-8qK2eLE accessed 07/06/16)

It may well be that the Large Hadron Collider will produce destructive technology–antimatter could be part of that.

CERN’s projects are dangerous.

I have long warned that CERN’s Large Hadron Collider has the potential to put the Europeans ahead of the Americans in terms of physics as well as military spinoffs of new technologies. The CERN project has produced antimatter and stored it longer than many scientists thought possible.

Some were worried when the Large Hadron Collider was originally started up that the start-up could destroy the world over a decade ago–but on September 9, 2008 I wrote that was not possible then (see September 10th is Not the End of the World).

But I also wrote on that date:

On the other hand, while it is touted as simply a scientific (and not a military) device, the LHC will likely give the Europeans some technological advantages that they will eventually be able to use as they seek to strength their military. And that is likely to help them when they decide it is time to launch a surprise attack on the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Since the Bible is clear that the Beast power will have unique military advantage and the Europeans have the largest “super collider” in existence, it just may be that it will somehow lead the Europeans to get the type of military power that they are prophesied to have (cf. Revelation 13:4)

But again, the destruction of the Anglo-American powers cannot happen until at least 3 1/2 years from now, … It will not be September 10, 2008. (Thiel B. September 10th is Not the End of the World, September 9, 2008).

The Large Hadron Collider is helping Europe get to the point that it will have the technology it will need to temporarily ‘rule’ the world. There have been interesting developments from it so far and more are expected.

Jesus taught:

21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. (Matthew 24:21-22)

It may be that technologies from CERN will lead to some of the destruction of the planet that Jesus referred to. CERN is doing more than studying antimatter, it has produced and stored it. Plus it, as well as other European projects, are producing technologies that will lead to war and destruction (cf. Daniel 11:39-43).

CERN is clearly not finished with its research and its research looks to have ramifications on the planet.

It will take the establishment of the millennial Kingdom of God to correct what ‘scientists’ and other leaders are going to do to Planet Earth.

Some items of possibly related interest may include:

Could the Large Hadron Collider lead to destruction? In 2008, the European Large Hadron Collider, which is the world’s largest physics project, went on line. Some thought, erroneously, that it would be the ‘end of the world,’ Some have said that the project may develop military technology, while others have claimed this is not possible. One Nobel prize has already been awarded for its finds (Higgs boson). It has also found other particles (like strangelets) and set a record in producing and retaining antimatter. Will these and all other finds remain peaceful? Is anything about this project possibly connected to 666?

Iran says an attack by Trump will have it go nuclear as it moves its missile launchers as a precaution

Nuclear facilities in Iran (Ta2aa)

COGwriter

Iran says it is taking steps, including considering nuclear ones, because of Donald Trump’s recent threats to bomb it:

Iran will have ‘no choice’ but to get nukes if attacked, says Khamenei adviser

1 April 2025

Iran would have to acquire a nuclear weapon if attacked by the United States or its allies, an adviser to the country’s supreme leader warned on Monday, following a threat by US President Donald Trump.

The comments came after Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, promised to hit back if Trump carried out a threat to bomb the Islamic republic if it did not make a deal to curb its nuclear programme.

“We are not moving towards (nuclear) weapons, but if you do something wrong in the Iranian nuclear issue, you will force Iran to move towards that because it has to defend itself,” Khamenei’s adviser Ali Larijani told state TV.

“Iran does not want to do this, but … (it) will have no choice,” he added.

“If at some point you (the US) move towards bombing by yourself or through Israel, you will force Iran to make a different decision.”

Trump said on Saturday “there will be bombing” if Iran did not agree a nuclear deal, according to NBC News, which said he also threatened to punish Tehran with what he called “secondary tariffs”. https://www.france24.com/en/asia-pacific/20250401-iran-will-have-no-choice-but-to-get-nukes-if-attacked-khamenei-adviser-usa-trump-nuclear-weapons-deal-bombing-threats

Michael Snyder posted the following about other steps Iran is currently taking:

The Iranians Load Missiles “Onto Launchers In All Underground Missile Cities” After Trump Threatens Them With “Bombing The Likes Of Which They Have Never Seen Before”

March 31, 2025

The Trump administration is assembling an armada of bombers at a military base on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, and meanwhile the Iranians have loaded their missile launchers and are prepared to instantly respond to any attack. In other words, we have never been closer to an apocalyptic war in the Middle East than we are right now.  … I am convinced that this could become one of the biggest stories of 2025.  Once Iranian ballistic missiles start falling in Israeli cities and on U.S. bases throughout the Middle East, there will be no turning back. Unfortunately, it appears that peace is not likely at this point.

On Sunday, the Tehran Times warned the western world that Iran’s ballistic missiles are “loaded onto launchers in all underground missile cities and are ready for launch”…

The state-controlled Tehran Times reported on X Sunday that Iran’s missiles are “loaded onto launchers in all underground missile cities and are ready for launch.” The newspaper issued a stern warning, stating that any escalation would come “at a heavy cost for the US government and its allies.”

The Chiefs of Staff of the Iranian Armed Force also issued a statement warning that any act of aggression against Iran will be met with a “severe response.”

So why have the Iranians made such an alarming move?

Needless to say, it is because they know that they could soon be bombed into oblivion.

I believe that President Trump is not bluffing.  In an interview with Kristen Welker of NBC News, he explained that if Iran does not make a deal there “will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before”…

“If they don’t make a deal there will be bombing. It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before,” Trump told NBC News’ Kristen Welker during a phone interview.

I have no doubt that Trump is serious.

And to back up his threat, he has assembled “an air armada of B-2 and B-52 bombers” at a base on the island of Diego Garcia…

Notice also:

March 31, 2025

Iran continues to threaten the United States with military action to dissuade the United States from a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities amid new US threats to strike the nuclear facilities. US President Donald Trump stated on March 30 that “there will be a bombing” if Iran does not make a new nuclear deal.[1] Trump added that he would impose secondary tariffs on Iran if Iran made no progress towards a deal.[2] Secondary tariffs would impose sanctions on countries that trade with Iran. US officials have previously threatened military action against Iran if there were no direct negotiations. …

Iranian officials have recently threatened the following responses to a US-Israeli strike on Iran. These courses of action are not mutually exclusive.

  • Attack US bases and forces: Iranian officials have repeatedly explicitly threatened to attack US bases and forces in the region in recent months.[7] An unspecified senior Iranian military official told Western media on March 29 that Iran would target Diego Garcia Island in the Indian Ocean if the United States attacked Iran.[8] The United States has recently increased its military presence at Diego Garcia Island, according to commercially available satellite imagery.[9] An anonymous official also told Tehran Times that Iran’s missile launchers at its underground bases are loaded with missiles and “ready for launch.”[10] Iran’s reported current maximum missile range is 2000 kilometers (km), and its reported maximum drone range is around 2500km.[11] Diego Garcia Island is located about 3700km from Iran’s southernmost city, …
  • Disrupt international trade: IRGC Navy Commander Admiral Alireza Tangsiri suggested on March 29 that Iran may close the Strait of Hormuz if the United States and Israel attack Iran.[13] Tangsiri also threatened to seize ships if Iranian ships were seized.
  • Conduct a direct attack on Israel: Senior Iranian military commanders have recently resurfaced threats to conduct another missile attack on Israel.[14] Iran unveiled its latest precision-guided ballistic missile called the “Etemad” in February 2025.[15] Iranian media referred to the missile as the “Israeli ballistic missile” because it can reportedly hit key targets across Israel.[16] Iran’s stockpile of medium-range missiles, or missiles that can reach Israel, has been severely depleted following the April and October 2024 Israeli airstrikes on Iran, however.

Iranian officials have publicly stated that they are unwilling to make concessions to reach a new nuclear deal with the United States under President Trump’s desired timeline or terms. https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/iran-update-march-31-2025

We are in a time of wars and rumors of wars (cf. Matthew 24:4-8).

Whether Donald Trump expects to have the USA bomb Iran and/or have Israel do it, there are risks to this.

The Book of Isaiah points to an Iranian confederation causing great damage to Jerusalem (Isaiah 22:6-9)–we are getting closer to the fulfillment of that prophecy.

Such damage may cause Israel to retaliate, and perhaps even dropping one or more nuclear bombs on Iran.

Israel may figure that it has the go-ahead from Donald Trump — especially if Jerusalem is greatly damaged — so it can go all-out to attempt to destroy the Iranian regime.

With that in mind, consider the following Roman Catholic writings:

Abbot Herman of Lehnin (died 1300) Towards the end of the world “Israel will commit a terrible crime for which it will suffer death.” (Culleton, R. Gerald. The Prophets and Our Times. Nihil Obstat: L. Arvin. Imprimatur: Philip G. Scher, Bishop of Monterey-Fresno, November 15, 1941. Reprint 1974, TAN Books, Rockford (IL), p. 151)

Roman Catholic priest and writer R. Gerald Culleton (20th century): Towards the end of the world the Jews are to commit some atrocious crime for which they will be greatly persecuted … the Great Monarch … This Lion Monarch … together with the Great Pope or Angelic Pastor, shall appear after socialism … (Culleton, pp. 25,27,28,50)

Some have suggested that “after socialism” may mean after communism falls, like it mainly did in the late 20th century. We are getting towards the end of this age right now.

The “atrocious crime” could refer to an attack (possibly nuclear) by Israel or some other Israeli action. Or perhaps a combination of factors.

This could happen in 2025.

That said, a while back, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following Bible News Prophecy video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel related to Iran and Israel:

15:03

Iran and Israel Conflict

European Union foreign policy chief, Josep Borrel, has been brokering the nuclear negotiations involving Iran and said that he thinks the deal is “in danger.” Iran blames the United States, whereas the USA says they are not delaying it. Israeli sources stated that Israel will stop Iran from getting a nuclear bomb. Joe Biden says the USA would use its own military power to prevent Iran from getting such a bomb if need be. In 2021, Iranian lawmakers have submitted a bill seeking the government by law to commit to Israel’s destruction by the year 2040. Does the 22nd chapter of Isaiah point to damage coming to Israel from Iran and possibly Syria? Might Iran be concerned enough about limited progress with the USA to launch some type of attack? Is Iran the prophesied ‘King of the South’? Is it reasonable to think that the prophesied peace deal of Daniel 9:27 will not happen until after a military conflict. like a regional war? Should Christians watch the Middle East? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie discuss these matters.

Here is a link to our video: Iran and Israel Conflict.

We are in a time of wars and rumors of wars as Jesus foretold (Matthew 24:4-8).

Iran is not pleased with Donald Trump and may choose to militarily respond very soon.

Iran rejects talks with USA–Donald Trump threatening to bomb Iran–Ayatollah Ali Khamenei downplays attack risk

Monday, March 31st, 2025

COGwriter

Iran does not want to enter formal negotiations with the Trump Administration, despite bomb threats:

Iran has rejected direct negotiations with the US in response to Trump’s letter

March 30, 2025

Iran’s president said Sunday that the Islamic Republic rejected direct negotiations with the United States over its rapidly advancing nuclear program, offering Tehran’s first response to a letter that U.S. President Donald Trump sent to the country’s supreme leader.

President Masoud Pezeshkian said that Iran’s response, delivered via the sultanate of Oman, left open the possibility of indirect negotiations with Washington. However, such talks have made no progress since Trump in his first term unilaterally withdrew the U.S. from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers in 2018. …

Trump said before Pezeshkian’s comments that he was considering military action and secondary tariffs, if Iran doesn’t agree to a nuclear deal.

“If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing and it will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before,” Trump said in a comment aired Sunday by NBC News. …

Press TV, the English-language arm of Iranian state television, published an article last week that included listing U.S. bases in the Middle East as possible targets of attack. The list included Camp Thunder Cove on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, where the U.S. is basing stealth B-2 bombers likely being used in Yemen.

“The Americans themselves know how vulnerable they are,” warned Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf on Friday. “If they violate Iran’s sovereignty, it will be like a spark in a gunpowder depot, setting the entire region ablaze. In such a scenario, their bases and their allies will not be safe.” https://apnews.com/article/iran-rejects-direct-negotiations-trump-letter-us-c414743a567c574b6f48f64a2e889f31

30 March 2025

Donald Trump on Sunday explicitly threatened Iran with war unless Tehran comes to the table and hammers out a new agreement on nuclear weapons with Washington.

The president spoke with NBC’s Kristen Welker in an early-morning phone call and told the host of Meet the Press that there would be “bombing” if Iran did not negotiate with the US, or if a deal was not reached as a result of those talks.

“If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing,” said the US president. “It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-iran-bomb-nuclear-deal-b2724205.html

March 30, 2025

Retired U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt told Newsmax on Sunday that the United States is likely headed to a “military place” against Iran and its advancing nuclear program.

Holt’s remarks came hours after Iran rejected President Donald Trump’s demands for direct negotiations in a letter he sent earlier this month.

“That’s very concerning,” Holt said …

Trump told NBC News on Sunday that “there will be bombing” if Tehran did not come to an agreement with the U.S.

“I read President Trump’s letter; very direct. But I would have thought that it would have been in the regime’s best interest to at least continue in a dialog mode,” Holt said. “So we have a presentation of forces that are set up to take away Iran’s nuclear program, and it can and probably will do that if we don’t get to a better place. So maybe third-party negotiations. But Lidia, I think we’re on our way to a military place.” https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/blaine-holt-newsmax-military-action/2025/03/30/id/1204951/

We will see if Donald Trump bombs Iran.

If so, expect Iran to take actions.

Trump’s threat to bomb Iran would spark retaliation, its supreme leader says

Trump reiterated his threat that Iran would be bombed if it does not accept his offer for talks outlined in a letter sent to Iran’s leadership in early March.

March 31, 2025

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Monday the U.S. would receive a strong blow if it acts on President Donald Trump’s threat to bomb Tehran unless it reaches a new nuclear deal with Washington.

Trump reiterated his threat on Sunday that Iran would be bombed if it does not accept his offer for talks outlined in a letter sent to Iran’s leadership in early March, giving Tehran a two-month window to make a decision.

“The enmity from the U.S. and Israel has always been there. They threaten to attack us, which we don’t think is very probable, but if they commit any mischief they will surely receive a strong reciprocal blow,” Khamenei said.

“And if they are thinking of causing sedition inside the country as in past years, the Iranian people themselves will deal with them,” he added. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/iran-trump-ayatollah-khamenei-supreme-leader-bomb-nuclear-deal-tehran-rcna198823

Iran is talking tough. Yet, the probability of Donald Trump ordering bombing of Iran –and/or green lighting Israel to do it — is higher than Ayatollah Ali Khamenei publicly has stated.

If the USA and/or Israel takes such actions, Israel may also take more severe military actions against Gaza and other places (cf. Zephaniah 2:4).

Iran and its allies would be expected to retaliate and may well soon damage Jerusalem (cf. Isaiah 22:6-9).

Regarding Iran, Donald Trump, and prophecy, the following is from my latest book available at Amazon Kindle: Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? as well as Amazon print Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies?:

Iran and Prophecy

Prior to his first election, Donald Trump stated that he wants to eliminate or at least change the “nuclear deal” with Iran. [i]

And that he did.[ii]

However, the Biden-Harris Administration tried to revive it, though never fully did. However, the Biden-Harris Administration did release billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets back to Iran[iii] as well as it, apparently intentionally, did not enforce sanctions which allowed Iran to nearly triple its oil revenues 3 years after Donald Trump left office.[iv]

In the June 27, 2024 debate with Joe Biden, Donald Trump then blamed the Biden-Harris Administration for assisting in Iran’s ability to provide more funding to proxies such as Hamas and Hezbollah.[v] It is believed that Donald Trump will likely use some type of “maximum pressure” strategy again against Iran during his next Administration.[vi]

Because Bible prophecy indicates  that it  will  be  primarily Arabic nations that support the final King of the South (Daniel 11:40-43; Ezekiel 30:1-8), though with some support (probably temporary per Daniel 11:25-26) from Turkey (and possibly Pakistan), it is not biblically possible that Iran can truly be the leader of the Islamic world as it seems to want to be. Also, because it is basically due east of Jerusalem, Iran should not be considered to be a candidate to be the final ‘King of the South’ of biblical prophecy.

Despite its posturing and relative military strength, Iran will be somehow effectively neutralized (cf. Ezekiel 32:24). This could perhaps be from an attack involving Israel and/or internal civil unrest — this could also include electromagnetic (EMP) or similar weapons used against Iran (Jeremiah 49:34-39).

It is of prophetic interest to note that the small nation of Israel is prophesied to one day be attacked by some that seem to have a connection to Iran (Isaiah 22:1-14).

Iran may decide to strike out against Israel, and possibly Jerusalem (cf. Isaiah 22:7-8) if a Trump Administration and/or Israel takes actions it does not like.

Iran has weapons that can cause damage. Furthermore, the USA itself (as well as is the State of Israel) is vulnerable to EMP type attacks and items such as biological weapons, chemical weapons, terrorism, nuclear weapons, dirty bombs, etc. because of a conflict involving Iran, Syria, and/or others.

But should this occur, this would NOT be the final destruction of the USA. Prophetically, Iran would not end up faring well (cf. Ezekiel 32:24-25).

The Bible shows that God will allow someone, like an Iranian-Syrian confederation, to strike the nation of Israel:

1 The burden against the Valley of Vision.

What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops, 2 You who are full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous city? Your slain men are not slain with the sword, Nor dead in battle. 3 All your rulers have fled together; They are captured by the archers. All who are found in you are bound together; They have fled from afar. 4 Therefore I said, “Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; Do not labor to comfort me Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people.”

5 For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity By the Lord God of hosts In the Valley of Vision — Breaking down the walls And of crying to the mountain. 6 Elam bore the quiver With chariots of men and horsemen, And Kir uncovered the shield. 7 It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys Shall be full of chariots,And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

8 He removed the protection of Judah. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest; 9 You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great; And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 10 You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And the houses you broke down To fortify the wall. 11 You also made a reservoir between the two walls For the water of the old pool. But you did not look to its Maker, Nor did you have respect for Him who fashioned it long ago.

12 And in that day the Lord God of hosts Called for weeping and for mourning,For baldness and for girding with sackcloth. 13 But instead, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating meat and drinking wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

14 Then it was revealed in my hearing by the Lord of hosts,”Surely for this iniquity there will be no atonement for you, Even to your death,” says the Lord God of hosts.  (Isaiah 22:1-14)

This could happen in 2025.

That said, a while back, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following Bible News Prophecy video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel related to Iran and Israel:

15:03

Iran and Israel Conflict

European Union foreign policy chief, Josep Borrel, has been brokering the nuclear negotiations involving Iran and said that he thinks the deal is “in danger.” Iran blames the United States, whereas the USA says they are not delaying it. Israeli sources stated that Israel will stop Iran from getting a nuclear bomb. Joe Biden says the USA would use its own military power to prevent Iran from getting such a bomb if need be. In 2021, Iranian lawmakers have submitted a bill seeking the government by law to commit to Israel’s destruction by the year 2040. Does the 22nd chapter of Isaiah point to damage coming to Israel from Iran and possibly Syria? Might Iran be concerned enough about limited progress with the USA to launch some type of attack? Is Iran the prophesied ‘King of the South’? Is it reasonable to think that the prophesied peace deal of Daniel 9:27 will not happen until after a military conflict. like a regional war? Should Christians watch the Middle East? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie discuss these matters.

Here is a link to our video: Iran and Israel Conflict.

We are in a time of wars and rumors of wars as Jesus foretold (Matthew 24:4-8).

Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Iran. And despite public comments from its top leader, Iran may decide to militarily respond very soon.

Could Herbert W. Armstrong have been correct that Adolf Hitler did not die in Berlin, but fled and that German domination plans went underground?

Sunday, March 30th, 2025


Adolf Hitler 1935 (German Federal Archive)

COGwriter

The late Pastor General of the old Radio Church of God, Herbert W. Armstrong, did not accept the official narrative that Adolf Hitler died by suicide in Berlin. Here is something he wrote about that in 1952:

HITLER Did Not Die

ADOLPH HITLER probably is still alive, today. Evidence piles up that he is this minute secretly directing the powerful Nazi Underground! There is absolutely NO EVIDENCE that Hider committed suicide, and, as the world was led to believe, his body with that of Eva Braun burned in the Reichschancellery garden. …

HITLER’S PLAN FOR WORLD RULE IS NOT DEAD! Before Germany surrendered, in May, 1945, the Nazis went underground! Hitler had made elaborate preparations for carrying on his crusade underground in the event of defeat in his first attempt. … prophecy reveals, the very movement Hitler started will emerge above ground before a stunned and awestruck world! But the body that shall be resurrected will not be the same body that went underground. It will reappear, not as a NAZI movement, but as purely FASCIST! And what’s the difference? Nazism has always been defined as the GERMAN form of Fascism. And so it is, with one slight shade of difference! Nazism was purely a national GERMAN fascism- whereas pure Fascism, as it has existed since 600 years before Christ, is an INTERNATIONAL Fascism! And pure Fascism always UNITED with the Roman Church! (Armstrong HW. Plain Truth, August 1952)

Is the above some type of unsubstantiated conspiracy theory?

Well, in the 1952 article, Herbert W. Armstrong insisted he had proof Adolf Hitler was not killed and gave various reasons.

As it turns out, the US Central Intelligence Agency had reasons to believe that Herbert W. Armstrong’s view was correct. Notice the following:

Secret documents on Nazis who fled to Argentina after WWII being declassified

It is estimated that up to 10,000 Nazis and other fascist war criminals escaped justice for Holocaust atrocities by fleeing to Argentina and other Latin American countries.

Notorious high-level Nazis, including Holocaust mastermind Adolph Eichmann and “angel of death” Josef Mengele, fled to the South American country, while rumors have swirled for years that former Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler also ended up there.

The pending release comes after Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, requested their release last month in a letter to Argentinian President Javier Milei. …

In 2017, the CIA declassified a document revealed that the intelligence agency investigated the possibility that Adolf Hitler was alive in South America as late as 1955 — nearly a decade after World War II ended.

The three-page document, which appears on the CIA’s website, highlights a former SS soldier who told spies he had regularly met with Hitler in Colombia.

The document suggests that Hitler may have worked as a shipping company employee, prior to potentially fleeing to Argentina. On the second page is a picture of the informant, Phillip Citroen, with a person he claims is Hitler in the mid-1950s.

Mainstream historians say Hitler committed suicide by taking a cyanide capsule and shooting himself in Berlin in 1945. https://www.foxnews.com/world/secret-documents-on-nazis-who-fled-to-argentina-after-wwii-being-declassified

Let me add that in May of 1965, in the Plain Truth magazine pointed to Adolf Hitler going to South America.

The old Radio Church of God also published the following:

NAZIS PLOTTING WORLD WAR III!

NAZISM is completely dead,” declared General Clay in 1952. “Nazism is dead and buried,” said Dr. James B. Conant, former president of Harvard University, in January 1958. These men said what they believed to be true. But they did not know all the facts! …

You may have believed that Germany was defeated in 1945-totally and unconditionally. But to the Germans, no defeat is final. As General von Stiilpnagel said in 1944, “Defeats are simply lessons to be learned in preparation for the next and greater attack.” …

This is German strategy. But you have been led to believe that the de- cision to transform the defeated enemy into an ally was a wise one, that the Germans have changed profoundly and have formed a truly democratic society, …

Washington Daily World … said, “Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler and a powerful clique of Nazi leaders are organizing an underground movement to keep the party alive after Germany’s defeat and lay the groundwork for another attempt at world conquest, usually reliable sources said today . . .” (October 29, 1943). …

Even in the November 1949 PLAIN TRUTH … was an article entitled, “Under Cover in Europe” which exposed in detail how the Nazis organized a world-wide underground network in order to prepare for World War III. …

The rule of a secret Teutonic Order, or General Staff, has existed in Germany for centuries. …

The German General Staff exists for one purpose-war and world conquest.’ …

The ultimate goal of the General Staff is to bring about a world that is dominated and ruled by Germans. …

Contrary to what most people believe, the official programme of the Nazi Party was worked out and elabo- rated by the Pan-German General Staff before the party was organized. Adolf Hitler was merely their puppet who was to sell it to the German people, and the Nazi Party was their chief political instrument. The General Staff always works through whatever political party achieves its goal. …

The Nazis went underground on May 16, 1943. On this date the Intelligence of the Gestapo split into two parts. About half of the officials went on as usual, but the rest carried out the plans for the underground movement under the direction of Generals Werner Heissmeyer and Fritz Kaltenbrunner, both of the SS (Elite Guard). …

The Nazi method of gaining control of Germany, and ultimately all of Europe, is that of infiltration-infiltration into political parties, industry, commerce, education and all existing institutions. …

Germany, as the dominating leader of Europe, has one goal in mind-the conquest of the United States and Great Britain! The Nazis have planned it. Prophecy says it will happen! IT WILL!

(Boraker R. NAZIS PLOTTING WORLD WAR III! Plain Truth, November 1962)

Does all of that sound absurd and far fetched?

Were Nazis involved in infiltrating organizations and institutions?

Well, what triggered my interest to make this post was seeing the following:

Think The Nazis Were Defeated In WWII? They Went On To Run NASA, The EU Commission, NATO And The United Nations So You Tell Me Who Won The War

March 28, 2025

The Allies may have defeated Hitler in WWII, but one thing that was not defeated was Nazi ideology which found its way into NASA, the EU Commission, NATO and the United Nations

After WWII, high-ranking and powerful Nazis went on to do things like creating NASA in America, heading up the EU Commission in Europe, being in charge of NATO, and running the United Nations in New York City. …

The moon landing … was created by a team of 1,600 Nazi scientists from Nazi Germany who were led by Wernher von Braun, Kurt Debus and Arthur Rudolph. All 3 of these men did work in Adolf Hitler’s concentration camps on thousands of victims who were the human fodder for their fiendish experiments. …

WALTER HALLSTEIN: He was man who was the first president of the European Commission, the unelected executive body of Europe. Hallstein held this post between 1958 and 1967 and is described on the Brussels EU website as a “visionary leader” and a “diplomatic force” who propelled European integration. However, no mention whatsoever is given by the Brussels EU to the fact that before and during World War Two Hallstein was a member of official Nazi organizations. …

ADOLF HEUSINGER: Heusinger played a key role in planning the Nazi occupation of Austria and, at the outbreak of World War II, in the Nazi invasion of Poland, Denmark, Norway, France, and the Netherlands. During the course of the war, Heusinger was appointed Brigadier General and later Major General. Heusinger was appointed Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, serving from 1961 to 1964 …

KURT WALDHEIM: He was drafted into the German Wehrmacht in 1941. He served as an intelligence officer in the Balkans, primarily in Yugoslavia and Greece, as part of Army Group E. His unit was involved in brutal anti-partisan operations, including deportations of Jews and reprisals against civilians. None of that stopped Waldheim from becoming the Secretary General of the United Nations General Assembly.

The Nazi Party was taken down from power at the end of WWII, … But the war started by the Nazis continues to be waged through the organizations the Nazis went on to create. These men were not heros, they were unrepentant Nazis who found fame and fortune doing for themselves what they had done for Hitler. There is no better example of covert Nazism in the 21st-century than the United Nations, sitting like a coiled serpent and waiting to strike again. https://www.nowtheendbegins.com/allies-beat-hitler-but-nazis-popped-up-later-in-nasa-eu-commission-nato-united-nations/

As far as Nazi infiltration of Europe goes, consider that the President of the European Commission is the highest office in the European Union at this time and its first president was had Nazi ties as Walter Hallstein was not only a WWII German soldier, but was a member of several Nazi organizations.

So, there has been influence of former Nazis in several institutions.

Of course, all of the high-level Nazis of WWII are now gone.

Yet, many of the objectives that they had are, in fact, in the process of being put in place by the European Union–see The European Union and the Seven Kings of Revelation 17.

So, will someone like Adolf Hitler rise again?

Will instead of just leading Germany, will he lead Europe?

We put together a video several years ago about what will happen once Europe unites under that Beast.

Boris Johnson, the former Mayor of London, stated that the European Union wanted to be what Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte tried to create. Duncan Smith agreed. But European Council President Donald Tusk called Johnson’s comments absurd and then stated that the EU was the answer to the problems facing Europe. But what does the Bible teach about the future of Europe? Is European unity the answer or will it usher in something worse than Adolph Hitler? Dr. Thiel quotes Jesus and others in the Bible for those who truly want to know what will happen in a unified Europe.

Here is a link to our video: European Unity to be like Hitler?

The Bible shows that the coming Beast power will restore European power and wealth, as well as make much of the world wealthy for a time (cf. Revelation 18:3-18).

Consistent with Isaiah 10:5-12, this Beast leader will have at least partial Germanic origins (see Germany’s Assyrian Roots Throughout History and Germany in Biblical and Roman Catholic Prophecy).

A dictator that the Bible refers to as the Beast will rise up.

Donald Trump: ‘We’ll get Greenland, 100 percent’ and that military force is not ‘off Table’

Sunday, March 30th, 2025

COGwriter

The Trump-Vance Administration continues to push for control of Greenland:

Trump: ‘We’ll get Greenland, 100 Percent’; Military Force Not ‘off Table’

March 30, 2025

“We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100%,” Trump told NBC News in an interview. …

In Saturday’s interview, Trump allowed that “I think there’s a good possibility that we could do it without military force.”

“This is world peace, this is international security,” he said, but added: “I don’t take anything off the table.” …

In Greenland, Vance said the U.S. has “no option” but to take a significant position to ensure the security of the island as he encouraged a push in Greenland for independence from Denmark.

“I think that they ultimately will partner with the United States,” Vance said. “We could make them much more secure. We could do a lot more protection. And I think they’d fare a lot better economically as well.” https://www.newsmax.com/us/greenland-denmark-donald-trump/2025/03/30/id/1204910/

Danish foreign minister scolds Trump administration after Vance trip to Greenland

March 30, 2025

The Danish foreign minister scolded the Trump administration on Saturday for its “tone” criticizing Denmark and Greenland during Vice President JD Vance’s visit to the strategic island.

Vance — joined by his wife, second lady Usha Vance, national security adviser Mike Waltz, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah — on Friday visited the Pituffick Space Base, the northernmost U.S. military installation, in Greenland. …

“There is no amount of bullying, no amount of obfuscating, no amount of confusing the issue,” Vance said. “Our message to Denmark is very simple: You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland, you have underinvested in the people of Greenland, and you have underinvested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass filled with incredible people. That has to change. And because it hasn’t changed, that’s why President Trump’s policy in Greenland is what it is.” https://www.cbsnews.com/news/danish-foreign-minister-scolds-trump-administration-jd-vance-greenland/

Despite what JD Vance said, the USA looks to be acting like a bully in order to attain more influence in Greenland.

Notice also the following:

Trump, Vance double down on threats to annex Greenland, rail against European powers

March 29, 2025

US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance doubled down Thursday and Friday on their threats to annex Greenland, which Trump previously threatened to conquer by force. …

Vance railed against the United States’ European allies, stating that they have “neglected international security for 40 years” and have “used America as a piggy bank… used us to absorb all of their excess economic production.”

Addressing the people of Greenland in the manner of a mafia enforcer, Vance said, “I think that you’d be a lot better coming under the United States’ security umbrella than you have been under Denmark’s security umbrella.”

When asked by a reporter why “the President has previously not ruled out military force when he’s talking about taking over Greenland,” Vance responded, “We do not think military force is ever going to be necessary” because “the people of Greenland are rational.”

In other words, Vance explained that, faced with the threat of attack by the world’s largest military power, the territory of just 56,000 people will be expected to make the “rational” choice and surrender to US demands.

Commenting on the trip, Múte Bourup Egede, Greenland’s prime minister, declared, “What is the national security adviser [Waltz] doing in Greenland?… The only purpose is to demonstrate power over us.” https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/03/29/zzlp-m29.html

March 30, 2025

The United States has significantly scaled back its own Arctic defense spending over the decades, including in Greenland.

To that end, Denmark’s Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said that the United States had maintained 17 bases and more than 10,000 service members across the territory during the Cold War, but now only maintained the one base with about 200 personnel.

Denmark, meanwhile, is currently engaged in a $2 billion push to modernize its capabilities in the region. Rasmussen also noted a desire to spend more.

“[Vance] has a point that we haven’t done enough, but I’m a little provoked because it’s also the Americans who haven’t done enough,” Rasmussen said.

Similarly, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that the Trump administration’s characterization was not a fair one and went against the spirit of the close alliance the two powers have shared for more than 80 years. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/greenland-denmark-push-back-vances-visit

The Trump-Vance Administration is upsetting many nations. The fact is that there will be many unintended consequences of Donald Trump’s and JD Vance’s statements, threats, and policies.

They are pushing away many allies and offending a lot of them. More and more are seeing the USA act as a bully.

Related to Greenland, here is something from my latest book available at Amazon Kindle: Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? as well as Amazon print Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies?:

Donald Trump’s foreign policy statements have unsettled many—in the USA as well as foreign nations. He is believed by many to be more unpredictable than Richard Nixon. Many have rightly pointed out that he often acts as a bully.

Greenland

There is also something referred to as the “law of unintended consequences.” There are consequences for the USA, Europe, and elsewhere that have and will occur because of Donald Trump’s statements and actions.

Consider, for one example, that after his reelection, Donald Trump stated that the United States needed to have Greenland for defense and economic purposes. Not only did that offend the governments of Denmark and Greenland, the Danish government then announced that it would greatly increase the amount of money it would spend on the defense of Greenland.[i]

On January 7, 2025, Donald Trump refused to rule out military or economic actions to acquire Greenland.[ii] The next day, European leaders warned they would not tolerate an attack on Greenland and that the continent of Europe was strong.[iii]

Donald Trump then stated he would implement high tariffs against Denmark to try to get it to sell Greenland to the USA.

However, that overlooks the fact that the European Union has its Anti-Coercion Instrument, which is designed to stop a foreign power from trying to punish one EU nation. Because of that, analysts report that punitive tariffs against Denmark “could lead to unintended consequences” from the EU against the USA.[iv]

One longer term consequence of Donald Trump’s rhetoric may be that the Europeans could decide that Greenland would be a useful place to conduct surveillance on the US and Canada.

Additionally, it is also possible that Greenland could be used as a base to 1) interfere with US military satellite communications, 2) possibly neutralize some US military moves in Greenland, or even 3) a place to also launch an attack against the US, Canada, and/or even the UK. The Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2)—some statements by Donald Trump are pushing “friends” (NATO allies) into being enemies. …

The USA will be attacked by “friends” consistent with the following:

How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!

How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!

The princess among the provinces Has become a slave!

2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.

All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies. cf. Lamentations 1:1-2).

Notice the one who was “great among the nations” will be conquered by friends, who will become enemies.

The USA was prophesied to be “great” in Genesis 48:19 and is considered by international sources to be great among the nations of the world today.[v]

Others have noted that Donald Trump is treating nations who are considered to be “friends” as enemies (e.g. see RT: Zelensky says US doesn’t care about EU; BBC: Frenemies?).

The Bible warns about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2).

And yes, a more militarized Greenland could play a role in the conquering of the USA–which is prophesied to happen (cf. Daniel 11:39).

World events are aligning with properly understood biblical prophecies.

BibleNewsProphecy: Malachy Prophecy, Francis, Doom in 2027?

Sunday, March 30th, 2025

COGwriter

There is a list of pontiffs that an Irish bishop named Malachy put together in the 12th century. Over a decade ago, I bought a copy of the book shown above related to the Malachy predictions of 112 future popes.

Though various Roman Catholics believe that the list was divinely inspired, and this also seems to have been the position of the Protestant prophetic writer Hal Lindsey, many (including this author) do not believe that the list was from God. Many make light of the list for a variety of reasons.

Even the expression “malarkey” seems to have originated as a derivative of the word Malachy, possibly because of how some viewed Malachy’s writings. Malarkey signifies worthlessness.

Yet, his list has been remarkably accurate–though one has to include a few “antipopes” for it to work.

Interestingly, Euronews recently published about it and its pointing to possible doom in 2027.

Related to those matters, the Continuing Church of God put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel discussing various views and scriptures about that:

14:44

Malachy Prophecy, Francis, Doom in 2027?

Do you know who Malachy was? He was an Irish bishop and saint of the Rome Catholic church who put together a list about 900 years ago. This list has been a source of amazement and interest for centuries and at the same time it has also been a source of ridicule. Recently his list has been making headlines; the publication Euronews has an article citing “Malachy’s List” and doom in 2027. The reason Malachy’s List is once again front-page news is because of what the list contains, as well as because of health concerns related to Pope Francis. It contains a prophecy of the number of popes until Jesus returns as well as a description of the characteristics of each pope. So, why does this matter? How many popes are on the list? What about the reign of the last pope? Are there any similarities between Malachy’s description of the last pope on his list and the prophecies in the Bible? Does the Antichrist fit in to Malachy’s list? Is it possible that Malachy’s list actually predicts the final judgment and the return of Christ in 2027? These questions are fascinating and provocative. Let Dr. Thiel shine the light of Bible prophecy on the answers to these questions. Answers from the verses of the Bible that bring prophecy to life.

Germany to ban lies? EU wants global internet ‘666’ controls?

Saturday, March 29th, 2025

COGwriter

ZeroHedge posted the following:

New German Government Wants To Ban “Lies”

March 29, 2025

The new German government coalition, which is likely to be the Christian Democrats (CDU) and the Social Democrats (SPD) is looking to ban “lies,” according to a working paper that emerged from the group “culture and media” between the two parties.

Bild newspaper received a copy of the working paper, which outlines the goal of combating “fake” news on social media, including restrictions on it.

The paper from the CDU and SPD indicates that “disinformation and fake news” threaten democracy.

In fact, the paper argues that freedom of expression does not apply in such circumstances. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/new-german-government-wants-ban-lies

Notice that the INTERPRETATION is that information that the government does not like, called “disinformation and fake news” is what the likely German government wants to stop.

Consider also that governments in Europe have already taken some steps against people who quote parts of the Bible that they do not want quoted (e.g. HD: The Truth Of The Bible On Trial In Finland: Could A Conviction Hold Grave Ramifications For European Christians?).

Furthermore, the European Union has something called it’s Digital Services Act which is a way for a lot more censorship to happen.

Notice the following warning against it:

The EU wants to censor the global internet

March 25, 2025

Brussels and Washington are once again at odds over Europe’s sweeping social-media restrictions, contained within the 2022 Digital Services Act (DSA). …

At the centre of the dispute are Articles 34 and 35 of the DSA, which impose broad but ill-defined obligations on ‘very large’ online platforms and search engines to identify, assess and mitigate ‘systemic risks’ associated with their services. These ‘risks’ extend beyond illegal content to include vague threats to ‘civic discourse’, ‘electoral processes’ and ‘public health’ – areas where even governments struggle to draw clear lines. With no firm legal definitions, the European Commission will be the one deciding what adequate risk mitigation looks like. …

With ‘systemic risks’ so poorly defined in law, platforms are left to second guess what might constitute a compliance breach. No company wants to be the first regulatory test case. Platforms that fall foul of the DSA face ruinous fines of up to six per cent of their global annual turnover. As a result, companies will inevitably err on the side of caution, removing content that could be considered harmful, even when it is entirely lawful. …

The ‘Brussels Effect’, where the EU’s strict standards end up being adopted by firms and other regulators around the world, is nothing new. History shows that platforms frequently adopt the strictest regulatory standards across all markets to minimise compliance risks. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), implemented in the EU in 2018, reshaped data privacy on a global scale. Many companies chose to apply its stringent rules worldwide, rather than create region-specific policies. The DSA’s obligations – broad, vague and backed by heavy penalties – will likely have a similar effect. …

The DSA will undoubtedly have chilling effects not only on Europeans, but also on citizens across the world. https://www.spiked-online.com/2025/03/25/the-eu-wants-to-censor-the-global-internet/

Let me add that Europe’s response to USA tariffs looks to include going after American Big Tech firms. I machine-translated the following German article (https://www.german-foreign-policy.com/news/detail/9924) into English, and here are some excerpts:

With digital levies against car tariffs

New US tariffs on imports of cars and car parts are hitting the German automotive industry hard. The EU Commission is considering countermeasures against US digital companies.

28 March 2025

The EU Commission may consider a significant escalatory move by targeting the US service sector. This could involve restricting intellectual property rights for US companies operating in the EU.

For instance, the EU might limit companies like Apple and Google from charging for cloud-storage services or operating-system updates. There is also discussion about preventing Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite network from competing for European government contracts. …

The president of the Munich Ifo Institute, Clemens Fuest, was quoted as saying that the vehicle tariffs hit “Germany’s most important export,” and that this was “a major burden for the German economy.”[4] Donald Trump had “started the trade war unilaterally and on the basis of false claims,” ​​explained Dirk Jandura, president of the German Trade Association (BGA); the EU should respond with “clear countermeasures,” which “must also include a response to the market-dominating and overpowering role of American digital corporations in Europe.” In fact, the US tech giants are recording massive surpluses from their European business, thus offering a large target for attack – in stark contrast to US industry, whose exports to Europe are comparatively small.

Notice also the following:

March 29, 2025

Former European Commissioner for Internal Markets and Services Thierry Breton issued a threatening message to Musk, “We are monitoring the potential risks in the EU associated with the dissemination of content that may incite violence, hate and racism in conjunction with major political — or societal — events around the world, including debates and interviews in the context of elections.”

The EU has long been one of the most aggressively anti-free speech bodies in the world. It has actively supported the evisceration of free speech among its 27 member states. The EU is not “agnostic” when it comes to free speech; it has long championed a type of free-speech atheism.

We have faced EU officials engaging in Orwellian doublespeak for years. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/content-agnostic-eu-official-denies-anti-free-speech-policies-bizarre-letter-congress

As far as Europe and its Orwellian path, we put together the following video:

Is Germany Becoming Orwell’s 1984?

In his novel 1984 George Orwell described a totalitarian government that controlled all aspects of human existence. “Big Brother is Watching You” was the reality of this government. George Orwell introduced “Newspeak”, a language that was designed to limit the range of thought. He also defined his concept of “Doublethink”, which is the ability to hold two contradictory beliefs at once and, yet accept both as reality. In 1984, the Thought Police were tasked with actually controlling what people can even think, let alone what they can say! The year 1984 has come and gone, but has George Orwell’s “Big Brother” government finally started to arrive? Are many governments in the world today adopting many of the ideas and tactics outlined in George Orwell’s book? If so, what government or governments are leading the way? Has Germany just put in its own version of “Thought Police”? Think about this: There is now a German Government initiative to report your family for wrong think. Dr. Thiel quotes Luke 12:53 in our Bible and then goes on to further shine the light of Biblical prophecy on the answers to these ‘666’ matters. He provides answers from the verses of the Bible that bring prophecy to life.

Here is a link to our video: Is Germany Becoming Orwell’s 1984?

That said, now notice an earlier report about Europe’s Digital Services Act:

EU’s Digital Services Act Is A Censorship Campaign

January 29, 2025

The European Union is expanding its enforcement of the Digital Services Act (DSA), which has been hardly criticized as a censorship tool. The ruling class, however, pushed the law through under the pretext of combating “hate speech.”

The law applies to all EU-wide legislation and incorporates national legislation from all member states. It also requires platforms to remove “illegal content,” including so-called “hate speech,” within 24 hours of being flagged as such. What constitutes “hate speech,” however, is often left to the discretion of EU bureaucrats and their allies in fact-checking organizations. It has commonly been anything that goes against the official narrative handed to the citizens by their rulers.

The application of this law means that content deemed illegal in one country – whether for allegedly promoting hate, offending religious sensibilities or challenging government narratives – can be removed across the entire bloc, as reported by Natural News. 

The EU is expanding its already massive censorship apparatus to enforce the DSA. By the end of 2025, the Commission plans to double its staff dedicated to DSA enforcement, bringing the total to 200. Additionally, the bloc is enlisting “local coordinators” in member states to ensure compliance.  …

The move comes as the EU appears increasingly concerned about free thoughts and ideas permeating the internet. …

Ruling elitist, European Commission Vice President Henna Virkkunen recently declared that tech companies who are siding with a free speech narrative pose a “direct threat to European democracy.” Rulers do not like it when the people they are controlling have thoughts and ideas that would put them out of a position of power. https://www.sgtreport.com/2025/01/eus-digital-services-act-is-a-censorship-campaign/

Yes, more and more censorship and surveillance is coming.

The Bible warns that people will not want to hear the prophetic messages, and despite claims that lies are what is to be censored, that many will prefer to accept lies:

8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, And note it on a scroll, That it may be for time to come, Forever and ever:

9 That this is a rebellious people, Lying children, Children who will not hear the law of the Lord; 10 Who say to the seers, “Do not see,”

And to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things; Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits. 11 Get out of the way, Turn aside from the path, Cause the Holy One of IsraelTo cease from before us.” (Isaiah 30:8-11)

6 “Don’t say such things,” the people respond. “Don’t prophesy like that. Such disasters will never come our way!” (Micah 2:6, New Living Translation)

Many people do not want to hear the truth. Notice that is an end time prophecy.

Steps will be taken! Expect governments to be involved.

Jesus warned:

4 … the night is coming when no one can work. (John 9:4, NKJV)

4… the night cometh, when no man can work (John 9:4 KJV)

In a October 23, 1980 co-worker letter, Herbert Armstrong wrote:

The Bible warns us the time is just ahead when NO MAN CAN WORK–in the Lord’s Work.

The Prophet Amos was inspired to record the following:

11 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God,
“That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread,
Nor a thirst for water,
But of hearing the words of the Lord.
12 They shall wander from sea to sea,
And from north to east;
They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
But shall not find it. (Amos 8:11-12)

I do not believe that Amos is prophesying that there will be no Bibles left on the earth, but instead that internet censorship will effect the world and that those doing the censoring will not want many biblical truths or warnings from the Bible available.

That is one reason that I consider that the Digital Services Act is a partial prelude to the coming ‘666’ controls the Bible prophesies. Notice the following:

15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:15-18)

Related to plans for control and surveillance, we put together the following video:

14:22

World Economic Forum, CBDCs, and 666

Are there concerns about CBDCs (Central Bank Digitial Currencies)? The Summer meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) was held from June 27-29, 2023 in China. Did WEF speaker and Cornell University professor Eswar Prasad warn of CBDCs could “take us to a pretty dark place’? What did the European Commission say about the future of a digital euro and various protections the same week? Is the tweeted statement, “No one will be able to control how you use your euros” false in the long run according to biblical prophecies, such as Revelation 13:16-18? Is there a real ability to program a CBDC with an expiration date as well as restricting what it could be used to purchase? Has monitoring of purchase transactions been proposed by various European leaders? Does the EU already have a potential enforcement arm of ‘666’? Has the European Central Bank said that cash was “not fit for the digital economy’? Are we moving more towards a cashless world? Are things really changing towards that? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel discuss these and other matters.

Here is a link to our  video: World Economic Forum, CBDCs, and 666.

As mentioned here numerous times, the ability to monitor buying and selling like the 666 prophecy foretells was not possible when Jesus had the Apostle John pen the Book of Revelation.

But not only does the technology exist now to do so, governments and globalist organizations are pushing for the implementation of tools that will help fulfill those prophecies.

The Bible teaches that the European Beast and his supporters will put in totalitarianism beyond what most believe is now possible (cf. Revelation 13).

He and his supporters will claim to help the climate, economy, etc., but that will not end up well (cf. Revelation 11:15; 18:1-20).

Related to the DSA and similar moves, here is part of number 23 of my list of 25 items to prophetically watch in 2025:

23. Totalitarian Steps

The 13th chapter of the Book of Revelation tells about a totalitarian leader called the Beast rising up, controlling buying and selling (cf. Revelation 13:16-18). …

Participating in society includes the ability to use a computer, communicate, buy goods, and travel, to name just a few–and the EU’s Digital Services Acts can affect all of that and more.

The globalists want to be able to monitor who is buying or saying anything.

Furthermore, if there were to be carbon passports, that would likely be tied in with your purchases so you could be monitored by some official view of how much harm your purchases cause the environment.

This is helping set the stage for the rise of the Beast who will gain power after the 4th seal of Revelation (which is the ride of the pale horse of death) is opened.

Expect to see various new totalitarian steps implemented and/or proposed in 2025.

A while back, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel related what many groups are working towards:

14:31

Globalism Conspiracy or Convergence?

In May of 2022, the World Economic Forum held a conference where thousands of the world’s elites attended, essentially in support of a ‘great reset’ to change society. In June 2022, the Bilderberg Group met essentially to do the same thing. In June 2022, Pope Francis told a group invited by Cardinal Kurt Koch, “Unity does not come about by standing still.” Whereas the Roman Catholic group, whose co-president in Marc Stengel, called for more cooperation with the United Nations and apparently supporters of Gandhi. The World Council of Churches also supports the globalist agenda as do the Freemasons and others. Could Satan be the real conspirator behind this? Will humanity be able to bring about utopia? Or can true Christian unity and utopia only come about with the return of Jesus and the Kingdom of God? Will the globalist agenda succeed for a time? Dr. Thiel addresses these and other issues.

Here is a link to that video: Globalism Conspiracy or Convergence?

The ONLY real solution for the problems facing humanity is repentance, the return of Jesus, and the good news of the coming Kingdom of God.

European censorship of the internet is not what the world needs.

Denmark has hit back against JD Vance’s comments that Copenhagen has not done enough for Greenland.

The US vice-president made his remark on Friday during a trip to the Pituffik space base in north-western Greenland, viewed by both Copenhagen and Nuuk as a provocation.

“Our message to Denmark is very simple: you have not done a good job by the people of Greenland,” Vance told a press conference.

“You have underinvested in the people of Greenland and you have underinvested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass.”

The Danish foreign minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, said on X on Saturday: “We are open to criticisms, but let me be completely honest, we do not appreciate the tone in which it’s being delivered.

“This is not how you speak to your close allies, and I still consider Denmark and the United States to be close allies.”

Trump argues that the US needs the vast Arctic island for national and international security and has refused to rule out the use of force to secure it.

“I think Greenland understands that the United States should own it,” Vance said in a press conference on Friday. “And if Denmark and the EU don’t understand it, we have to explain it to them. We need Greenland. Very importantly, for international security, we have to have Greenland.” …

Asked about the potential use of force, Vance stressed the US administration did not think that “is ever going to be necessary”.

“We think this makes sense, and because we think the people of Greenland are rational and good, we think we’re going to be able to cut a deal, Donald Trump-style, to ensure the security of this territory but also the United States of America,” Vance said. …

Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, also hit back at Vance in a statement.

“For many years, we have stood by the Americans in very difficult situations,” she said, referring to Danish combat deployments alongside US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“The vice-president’s reference to Denmark is not accurate.” …

Danish and Greenlandic officials, backed by the EU, have insisted that the US will not obtain Greenland. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/29/denmark-hits-back-at-tone-of-us-vice-presidents-criticism-over-greenland

Yes, many in Greenland and in the EU are not pleased.

Some of Donald Trump’s and JD Vance’s statements are pushing US allies to consider being enemies. Notice also the following:

Are the United States and Europe still allies? The European public doesn’t think so

March 26, 2025

You are on your own.

That is essentially the lesson many US allies have taken from the events of the last few weeks, after President Donald Trump and his administration expressed unwillingness to defend European allies “if they don’t pay” and stopped all military aid and intelligence sharing with war-torn Ukraine.

Recent text messages from a group chat of US senior-most national-security officials are at the center of a US national security scandal—because the editor of The Atlantic magazine was inadvertently included in the chat, which featured detailed information about US plans to attack Houthi targets in Yemen. But the vitriol toward Europe was also palpable in that chat, showing European leaders how the Trump administration talks about them behind closed doors:

“I just hate bailing Europe out again,” Vice President J.D. Vance wrote.

“I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s pathetic,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded.

Trump officials’ belligerent rhetoric and flippant actions against long-time US allies and partners stand in stark contrast with a major US rapprochement with Moscow that has severely undermined Western efforts to isolate Russia on the world stage since it invaded Ukraine in 2022. …

US allies and enemies alike increasingly think the United States will flake on its security obligations to its NATO allies. This should worry not only European leaders but US officials, too. …

European capitals may ultimately take Trump’s message seriously, deciding that the United States is not to be trusted as an ally. This could push US allies to exclude the United States from major defense planning, exercises, and acquisitions and turn toward US competitors for reassurance. …

Widespread perceptions that the United States might not defend its allies could have disastrous effects. …

In the United States and Poland—traditionally the key US East European ally—only half of the population now believes that the United States would come to defend a NATO ally if attacked. In Germany and the United Kingdom, this percentage dropped to merely 45 percent and 37 percent, respectively. https://thebulletin.org/2025/03/are-the-united-states-and-europe-still-allies-the-european-public-doesnt-think-so/

The insulting of allies is helping to turn them into enemies.

The Trump-Vance Administration has caused fears in Europe about the USA’s military commitments. The Continuing Church of God put together the following related video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel discussing various views and scriptures about that:

Should Europe Still Consider Itself a US Ally?

The United States has paused aid to Ukraine. Europe is nervous and wonders if the United States’ commitment to European security is unclear. Some leaders in Europe “agree they must strengthen their defense capabilities”. Europe is dedicating huge amounts of money to weapons. And Europe’s military technology is advancing. Revelation 13 tell us of a militaristic “beast with a mortal head wound” – this is Europe. The Bible asks –“who can make war with the beast?” Is WWIII on the horizon? What nation is Lamentations 1:1-2 referring to who will be betrayed by her “friends”–and who are her “friends” that become her “enemies”? Dr. Thiel helps shine the light of Biblical prophecy on the answers to these questions. Answers from the verses of the Bible that bring prophecy to life.

That said, here is some background related to the United States’ presence in Greenland:

After the German occupation of Denmark on 9 April 1940, Henrik Kauffmann, Danish Ambassador to the United States, made an agreement “In the name of the king” with the United States, authorizing the United States to defend the Danish colonies on Greenland from German aggression – this agreement faced Kauffmann with a charge of high treason by the protectorate Government. The first US-sponsored installations at Thule were established after the US Secretary of State Cordell Hull and the defected Danish Minister to the United States Henrik Kauffmann signed The Agreement relating to the Defense of Greenland in Washington, D.C., on the symbolically chosen date of 9 April 1941. The treaty, denounced by the Danish government, allowed the United States to operate military bases in Greenland “for as long as there is agreement” that the threat to North America existed. …

In 1949, Denmark joined NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and abandoned its attempt to remove the United States bases. By the outbreak of the Korean War next year, the USAF embarked on a global program of base-building in which Thule (at the time) would be considered the crown jewel owing to its location across the Pole from the USSR, as well as its merit of being the northernmost port to be reliably resupplied by ship. Thule became a key point in American nuclear retaliation strategy. Strategic Air Command (SAC) bombers flying over the Arctic presented less risk of early warning than using bases in the United Kingdom. Defensively, Thule could serve as a base for intercepting bomber attacks along the northeastern approaches to Canada and the US.

A board of Air Force officers headed by Gordon P. Saville made a recommendation to pursue a base at Thule in November 1950. It was subsequently supported by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and approved by President Truman. To replace the agreement entered into during World War II between the US and Denmark, a new agreement with respect to Greenland was ratified on 27 April 1951 (effective on 8 June 1951). At the request of NATO, the agreement became a part of the NATO defense program. The pact specified that the two nations would arrange for the use of facilities in Greenland by NATO forces in defense of the NATO area known as the Greenland Defense Area.

Thule Air Base was constructed in secret under the code name Operation Blue Jay, but the project was made public in September 1952. …

Thule became an Air Force Space Command base in 1982. Today Thule is home to the 821st Air Base Group, which exercises air base support responsibilities within the Thule Defense Area. …

In 2020, Thule Air Base was formally transferred to the United States Space Force. On 6 April 2023, Thule was renamed Pituffik Space Base, reflecting its status as a Space Force base and the native name for the region. (Pituffik Space Base. Wikipedia, accessed 01/08/25)

So, the US has long had a military presence in Greenland. In theory, it could probably declare that Greenland is a US territory. But that would seem to require Congressional approval as the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to “dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States” (Article IV, Section 3)–and not just a declaration from its president.

If the US Congress did that now, Europe is not currently in a position to actually control Greenland militarily, but would likely bide its time and plan to take it back if Greenland was declared a US territory–which it would (cf. Daniel 11:39).

I suspect that the Danes and Greenlanders will try to make some type of concessions to the US, while they plan to work against US interests there.

Let’s look at the following which is in our free online book Lost Tribes and Prophecies: What will happen to Australia, the British Isles, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America?:

The U.S.A., itself, has repeatedly shown the Europeans that it does not trust them, yet scripture suggests it sometimes will trust them too much. According to the Bible, the time will come when the U.S.A. will find that continental Europe will be an enemy (cf. Isaiah 10:5-11) and not an ally (Ezekiel 23:4,9-10). The Bible warns:

2 All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; They have become her enemies. (Lamentations 1:2)

Europe will cooperate with the U.S.A. as long as it feels the relationship is beneficial, and then (as prophecy foretells) one day turn totally against the U.S.A.

The Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2).

Many in the Trump-Vance Administration have made comments against the USA’s European allies.

This will not end well for the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39; Isaiah 10:5-11).

Ultimately, Greenland could end up playing a role against the US.
