Brexit: ‘The end is nigh’ and Donald Trump signs Canada-Mexico trade deal
Brexit got final approval from the European Parliament today:
EU parliament gives final approval to Brexit deal
January 29, 2020
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Parliament on Wednesday gave its final approval to Britain’s divorce deal from the bloc, paving the way for Brexit to take place on Friday.
The chamber broke into singing Auld Lang Syne, a traditional Scottish song to bid farewell, after voting 621 for versus 49 against the Brexit deal, with 13 abstentions. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-parliament-approval-idUSKBN1ZS2K9
The end is nigh …
“We’ve achieved our goal,” said British member of the European Parliament Nigel Farage who has campaigned for Brexit for two decades, leaving with a smile and a sense of accomplishment. …
For many though, the first departure of an EU member after the group had grown from an initial six to 28 remains a body blow.
”It’s an incredible sad and painful moment,” S&D socialist Tiemo Woelken said. “We’ll wait for your return to our European family.”
Now, everything moves to negotiations on how to cooperate in the future. Britain seeks to have a full trade deal within the next 11 months and want a transitional period during which they will still abide by EU rules and regulations to be as short as possible.
The EU has said such a timespan is far too short to have any kind of comprehensive deal and fears remain that a chaotic exit, averted this week, might still happen at the end of the year if the transition ends without any agreement in place. https://apnews.com/b22e257a1fb0c86f221b20304f2233d4
The departure of the UK means that the EU Parliament will have to reorganize. And while at least two ‘reorganizations’ are prophesied for Europe (Revelation 17:12-13), this is not one of those.
With Brexit about here, the UK wants to make a deal with the EU, but also with the USA.
While the UK does more trade with the EU than the USA, many believe a deal with the USA will be easier to get.
And as far as USA trade deals go, the USA has formally approved a trade deal with Mexico and Canada:
January 29, 2020
WASHINGTON — Still facing a divisive impeachment trial in the Senate, President Donald Trump celebrated a rare bipartisan achievement Wednesday when he signed into law a revamped trade deal with Mexico and Canada.
Surrounded by business leaders wearing hard hats, including a contingent of Iowans, Trump portrayed the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, as “a colossal victory” for American farmers, manufacturers and other workers.
“For the first time in American history, we have replaced a disastrous trade deal that rewarded outsourcing with a truly fair and reciprocal trade deal that will keep jobs, wealth and growth right here in America,” Trump said during a signing ceremony on the White House South Lawn. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/agriculture/2020/01/29/trade-donald-trump-sign-revised-agreement-mexico-canada/4609864002/
January 29, 2020
The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement replaces the 26-year-old North American Free Trade agreement, known as NAFTA. Trump repeatedly criticized NAFTA, including at a rally Tuesday where he called it “one of the worst trade deals ever in history.”
The legislation includes more stringent rules on auto manufacturing, e-commerce and labor provisions, but leaves largely unchanged the trade flows between the North American countries valued at $1.2 trillion.
The deal will not be fully implemented until it is ratified by Canada. A ratification bill was introduced in the House of Commons on Monday with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other officials urging swift approval.
Mexico completed its ratification last year. https://www.voanews.com/economy-business/trump-sign-north-american-trade-deal
As a small business owner, NAFTA never worked for me. However, from what I have seen from the new deal, it will not work either. There simply is NOT “free trade” across the border.
That being said, expect the UK to try to make trade deals with places like the USA as well as nations in or once in the Commonwealth (which includes Canada).
Donald Trump was a Brexit supporter and seemingly hopes to more divide the EU nations so that he can get the type of trade deals he hopes to get for the USA. Look for Donald Trump to take anti-EU actions. Look for Donald Trump to take anti-EU trade actions.

January 29, 2020
LONDON (Reuters) – The United Kingdom leaves the European Union an hour before midnight on Friday, casting off into an uncertain Brexit future that also challenges Europe’s post-World War Two project of forging unity from the ruins of conflict. For proponents, Brexit is a dream “independence day” for a United Kingdom escaping what they cast as a doomed German-dominated project that is failing its 500 million population. …
“A very major country is leaving and maybe people should start to think about why that is,” said Nigel Farage, who along with Johnson was one of the main leaders of the 2016 Brexit campaign. “This European project wants to become an empire.” https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-preview/into-the-brexit-unknown-a-dis-united-kingdom-exits-the-european-union-idUSKBN1ZS20L
Yes, Europe wants to be an empire. And it will become one (cf. Daniel 7).
Brexit, itself, however, is going to be tough on the EU and the UK.
Europe will have problems in 2020.
But some of those problems will help set the stage for its reorganization as well as its reemergence as the Beast power of Revelation 13.
And, perhaps it should be mentioned, that the way the UK will be in the fold of the Europeans in the future is that Europe will conquer the UK (cf. Daniel 8:24-25; Isaiah 17:3).
The USA, itself, will also be conquered (Daniel 11:39) and it will surprise the world that the Europeans were able to do this (cf. Revelation 13:1-4).
So, despite some exuberance of Brexit and the USA-Mexico-Canada trade deal, matters will not end as the UK or USA (or Canada for that matter) hope.

Forbes’ Brexit Monster is the Beast of Revelation Various ones have been properly convinced that there is a plan for a European superstate. Forbes’ writer Tom Worstall wrote that the Brexit vote was about the United Kingdom “not joining the monster of the European Union to come.” The Bible tells of a Beast monster that will arise in the end times in Europe. Dr. Thiel cites news reports, as well as the Old and New Testaments, to show that the monster many fear will arise in Europe, despite the vote by the British to exit the European Union.

Brexit and the fate of Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, the UK, and the USA On April 29, 2017, 27 of the nations of the European Union agreed to certain guidelines for the negotiations with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which gave its notice to leave on March 29, 2017. These guidelines are contrary to what the UK wants. Does the EU intend the UK to pay a price for leaving the EU? What does Spain want? What does the Republic of Ireland want? Will Northern Ireland and Gibraltar eventually fall under European control? Will the UK and USA be conquered? What does the Bible teach? Dr. Thiel answer these questions and more in this video.

Spain wants Gibraltar and Argentina wants the Falklands (also known as the Malvinas). UK Prime Minister David Cameron says the UK will defend the Falklands Gibraltar. Does the Bible give clues as to what will happen with those ‘sea gates’? Do promises made the Jacob’s mother Rebekah play a role? What about Deuteronomy 28? This is a video.
Post Brexit Prophecy On June 23, 2016, the voters of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) chose to leave the European Union. Now with this BRitish EXIT (Brexit) vote, what is prophesied to happen to the UK? Will the UK do well or be taken over and made slaves? Dr. Thiel explains from biblical prophecies what is ahead for the UK, Europe, and even the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. This is a video.
