Cinco de Mayo, Mexico & EU trade deal, and Babylon the Great


An advertisement re-expanding Mexico

COGwriter

Today is the fifth of May, ‘Cinco de Mayo’ is Spanish. But it is also a Mexican holiday:

5 May 2020

Cinco de Mayo, or fifth of May in Spanish, also called Battle of Puebla Day, is an annual celebration observed in Mexico and the United States that marks the former’s military victory on its soil over French forces in 1862. …

In the US, in the mid-20th century, the celebration became a way for immigrants from Mexico to express pride in their heritage. Later, Cinco de Mayo also became popular with other demographics in the country when the festivities were linked with Mexican alcoholic beverages. https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-the-importance-of-cinco-de-mayo-for-mexico-and-mexicans-6394297/

Although Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of the defeat of French forces, it has come to be a day of Mexican pride, and one where US acquisition of formerly Mexican held territories is denounced.

But that type of denouncement is not limited to Cinco de Mayo. Last Summer protest in Colorado ended up with the US flag replaced by the flag of Mexico:

Anti-ICE protesters pull down American flag, raise Mexico flag, vandalize ‘Blue Lives Matter’ flag

Updated July 13, 2019

Authorities in Colorado restored an American flag to its place Friday evening after protesters demonstrating outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility pulled down the star-spangled banner and flew the flag of Mexico in its place.

The protesters also removed a “Blue Lives Matter” flag, honoring law enforcement, spray-painted it with the words “Abolish ICE,” then raised the flag upside-down, on a pole next to the Mexican flag, according to local media.

Hundreds of protesters had gathered in Aurora, Colo., outside the federal facility that holds illegal immigrants, to protest ICE raids scheduled to begin Sunday in Denver and other major U.S. cities, FOX 31 Denver reported. …

Beginning Sunday, ICE agents will reportedly work to round up thousands of illegal immigrants across the U.S. https://www.foxnews.com/us/colorado-protestors-rip-down-american-flag-at-ice-facility-raise-mexico-flag-vandalize-blue-lives-matter-flag

A crowd estimated at more than 1,000 rallied to protest the possible federal roundups of some illegal immigrants outside the detention facility, where some protesters broke through a barrier and upended the flags, according to local news outlets.

The American flag was eventually run back up the flagpole, but upside down and spray-painted with the words, “Abolish ICE,” as shown in video and photos. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jul/12/protesters-deface-us-flag-fly-mexican-flag-over-ic/

A “Blue Lives Matter” flag is something related to the police/federal agents.

But I would like to mainly focus on the replacement of the US flag with that the Mexican flag.

Twelve years ago, I saw the advertisement for Absolut Vodka (shown at the beginning of this post) and posted:

I believe that the Absolut ad will get more and more Mexicans to think that Mexico deserves to get this land back.

And while some may think that this is only a fanciful dream, for decades I have believed that Mexico would join with the coming European Beast power and assist in invading the United States once the King of the North decides to make his move. And I believe that the King of the North will reward Mexico by giving it some (if not possibly, all) of the land that the USA gained through the sword from it. (Thiel B. Absolut Reconquista by Mexico? COGwriter, April 6, 2008)

Many in Mexico still want that land, including Colorado, back. It has be called the “reconquista” (re-conquering in English).

Apparently some Mexicans in the US feel the same way.

A flag is a symbol of who controls the land.

Expect more issues to arise.

Various ones in Mexico have long considered that the USA is an enemy nation. Notice the following threat from a former President of Mexico:

“in his frankest interview yet, former Mexican President Vicente Fox:

“We’re coming back to the era of the ugly American. The gringo was hated all around the world, and this guy pretty soon he got the title. He is the ugly American, he is the hated gringo, because he’s attacking all of us, he’s offending all of us. Imagine, I mean that could take us to a war. Not to a trade war.“

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-05-15/mexican-president-warns-war-if-gringo-trump-wins-white-house

While many people will consider the idea that Mexico would ever go to war against the USA preposterous, I have felt for decades that Mexico would support the final European Beast power with troops when it successfully attacks the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39). (Thiel B. Mexican ex-President threatens actual war against USA if Donald Trump wins. COGwriter, May 2016)

Last Summer, the Los Angeles Times ran the following:

Yet Trump’s tactics, particularly if continued, are likely to have long-term consequences for the U.S.-Mexico relationship.

The aggressive tariff threats corrode a vital economic and security partnership. This tactic and Trump’s myopic focus on illegal immigration sideline a host of critical U.S. priorities in the bilateral relationship, such as countering China’s influence in the hemisphere and combating drug trafficking and corruption. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-berg-martinez-fernandez-trump-tariffs-mexico-immigration-20190703-story.html

Yes, many Mexicans believe that the US is basically bullying Mexico.

Many Mexicans believe that the USA improperly took lands such as most or all of California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado. They believe that they are entitled to receive that land back.

The Bible teaches that the European King of the North power will takeover the USA and divide its land for gain:

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. (Daniel 11:39)

The “he” is the European King of the North and the power with the “strongest fortresses” in the 21st century is the USA (see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses).

This will happen as part of the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7), also known as the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21). This will be when, as Jesus said, “the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled” (Luke 21:24). Mexico is a Gentile nation.

I expect that Mexico will end up with at least some of its claimed lands back this century.

Sound preposterous?

Consider something that happened long ago:

April 6, 2017

One hundred years ago today, the United States officially declared war on Germany and entered World War I. Days before the declaration of war, President Woodrow Wilson urged a special joint session of Congress to “formally accept the status of belligerent which has thus been thrust upon it.”

Wilson had not wanted to do this. Indeed, he’d won reelection the previous fall as the antiwar candidate, running on the popular slogans “He kept us out of war” and “America First”—appeals to voters who wanted to stay out of a major European war and avoid a simmering conflict with Mexico.

But two events would change everything, and force Americans to accept that they could no longer avoid what had become a global conflict. The first was Germany’s resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare on passenger and merchant ships. The second was the “Zimmerman telegraph,” which revealed Germany’s attempt to forge a secret alliance with Mexico against the United States, promising to help Mexico recover territory it had ceded to the United States following the Mexican-American War in 1848.

Both of these developments, like much of World War I, seem exotic and unimaginable today. A major military power attacking passenger ships with submarines? Mexico invading Texas? It’s easy to think we’ll never face such scenarios again, and we probably won’t face those particular scenarios. But as distant and strange as the First World War seems to us today, the reasons Wilson changed course and declared war hold vital relevance to our national life in the twenty-first century, and we ignore or misunderstand those reasons to our peril. https://thefederalist.com/2017/04/06/americas-reasons-entering-wwi-resonate-today/

I do believe that Mexico will be willing to cooperate with a German-dominated (also Gentile) power in Europe to invade the USA and that trade between the Europeans and Latin Americans will increase.

Consider something that I warned about in 2008:

In the spirit of accommodation and personal interest, many of the “standards” of the European Union will be adopted by the USA, Canada and Mexico, as well as by nearly all of the countries of the world. The Arab nations will most likely agree with many of the standards as they seem to be destined to form a brief end-time alliance with the Europeans (The Arab World In the Bible, History, and Prophecy).

However, over time, it will become increasingly clear that the British will be in more agreement with the Canadians and Americans and that the European Union in more agreement with the Mexicans than the EU will have with the English-speaking nations.

Trade wars and/or serious trade disputes will most likely arise.

The Brits will ultimately decide that they are more supportive of the Americans and Canadians. They will be so much more supportive that they will end up in a trading agreement with them (with the Australians and New Zealanders probably also becoming part of that agreement).

The EU will decide that Mexico and the rest of Latin America are in more agreement with it and thus make some type of serious trading agreement with most (or all) of Latin America. The Vatican will also have influence here as Latin America is highly Roman Catholic.

The Europeans and Americans, however, will continue to have military agreements, though many will be tense about them.

Eventually, the Europeans (possibly under the cover of pretending that they are involved in a “NATO-like” exercise in North America) will eventually launch a surprise attack against the United States in fulfillment of both biblical and Catholic prophecies. The Mexicans will most likely be allied with the Europeans for this to happen. (Thiel B. A Combined EU & North American Trade Block Coming? COGwriter.com, March 3, 2008)

Do not think it cannot happen. Mexico is pivoting towards Europe.

 

Here is more on the trade agreement from the EU and Vatican:

Under the new EU-Mexico agreement, practically all trade in goods between the EU and Mexico will be duty-free. The agreement also now includes progressive rules on sustainable development, such as a commitment to effectively implementing the Paris Climate Agreement. It is also the first time that the EU agrees with a Latin American country on issues concerning investment protection. Simpler customs procedures will further help boost exports.

The broader Global Agreement, of which the trade agreement is an integral part, also covers the protection of human rights, as well as chapters on political and development cooperation. It will also be the very first EU trade agreement to include provisions to fight corruption, with measures to act against bribery and money laundering.

Mexico is the EU’s number one trade partner in Latin America with bilateral trade in goods worth €66 billion and trade in services worth another €19 billion (respectively 2019 and 2018 data). EU goods exports exceed €39 billion a year. EU-Mexico trade in goods has more than tripled since the entry into force of the original agreement in 2001. The modernised trade agreement will help boost this strong historical growth.

Next Steps

The legal revision of the agreement is now being finalised. Once the process is concluded, the agreement will be translated into all EU languages. Following the translations, the Commission proposal will be transmitted for signature and conclusion to the Council and European Parliament. 04/28/20 https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_20_756

Mexico and the European Union have clinched a fresh and undated Free Trade Agreement, and now only the routine official rubber stamp ratification remains. It’s a rare bright spot amidst a muted and bleak Corona Virus ravaged doom and gloom landscape, which even spans oceans and Continents.

This revamped Trade Agreement with Europe will initiate and generate a major impetus to Mexico’s flagging economy, post Covid 19, which has exacted a terrible loss in human life and dealt a savage body blow to business, trade, finance, commerce and with it jobs. 04/29/20 https://www.vaticannews.va/en/world/news/2020-04/mexico-european-union-trade-agreement.html

Notice that it is more than trade. Europe wants the world to accept its standards on many things and that the Vatican also reported about this.

The hope is that the EU and Mexico (and the rest of Latin America for that matter) will be able to emerge after the COVID-19 lockdowns to strengthen their economies together.

Notice something from the old Radio Church of God:

Can you see what the emergence of a unified anti-American European oriented block means? Just this–the United States is going to be left out in the cold as two gigantic trade blocs, Europe and Latin America, mesh together and begin calling the shots in world commerce. (Hogberg GH. New Threat to U.S. in Latin America. Plain Truth, p. 14)

As far as Europe and the rest of Latin America goes, notice something that happened last Summer:

EU, South American countries agree on draft free trade treaty

The European Union and the Mercosur bloc of four South American countries — Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay — have agreed to draft wording for a free-trade deal after almost 20 years of talks, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said Friday.

He said the historic deal was “sending a strong signal,” calling it the “largest trade agreement the EU has ever concluded.” 06/28/19 https://www.dw.com/en/eu-south-american-countries-agree-on-draft-free-trade-treaty/a-49406638

Mexico and Latin America are moving more towards Europe.

Biblical prophesies involving trade in Ezekiel 27:12-24, Isaiah 23:3 and Revelation 18 point to that.

Donald Trump and other government officials do not seem to appreciate or understand the biblical prophecies related to the USA, Europe, or Latin America.

While in the short-run, the USA can pressure Mexico in many ways, it should be clear to all that the USA is seriously risking turning Mexico from an ally into an enemy. Mexico and others parts of Latin America are looking to Europe and many in those areas are displeased with various statements and actions from Donald Trump.

Decades ago, I concluded that Mexico would one-day help the Europeans against the USA.

Mystery Babylon the Great is forming. The Bible teaches that the merchants of the world will become rich trading with the coming European Babylonian power.

That day is getting closer. More trade deals are moving along.

Related to Mexico, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

11:55

On July 12, 2019, a USA flag was taken down by demonstrators and a Mexican flag was raised in Colorado. Absolut Vodka had an advertisement displaying that places like California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and Colorado should be part of Mexico again. Some have called for a ‘reconquista’–a returning to Mexico lands that it ceded to the USA in 1848. Last century the German government had a plan to work with Mexico to give it back lands that it lost if Mexico would assist it against the USA in World War I. Could something like that happen in the 21st century? Does Bible prophecy show that a Germanic Beast leader will invade the USA and divide its lands for gain? Could Mexico benefit from this? Have statements and actions by US President Donald Trump gotten any leaders in Mexico to contemplate more than a trade war, but a real war? What about trade with the European Union? Will Mexico gain territories that the USA now controls? Dr. Thiel addresses these questions and more.
