‘Donald Trump’s politics tops list of Germans’ greatest fears’ and Karl Guttenberg called ‘The saviour of us all’
US President Donald Trump’s politics are now the greatest fear of Germans:
Donald Trump’s politics tops list of Germans’ greatest fears
6 September 2018
More than two-thirds of Germans — or 69 percent — are extremely concerned that US President Donald Trump’s policies are having a dangerous impact worldwide, according to the annual survey “The fears of Germans” by the R+V Infocenter.
“Trump’s ruthless ‘America First’ politics, his aggression with regards to international arrangements and his equally aggressive trade and security politics, even towards allied countries, scare the majority of the population,” said Manfred G. Schmidt, a professor at the Ruprecht-Karls-University in Heidelberg and a consultant for R+V Infocenter.
It was one of the highest ever percentages recorded in the survey, which has cataloged German fears since 1992. https://www.dw.com/en/donald-trumps-politics-tops-list-of-germans-greatest-fears/a-45382520
So, in the past 26 years, at least, nothing has been scarier to Germans than US President Donald Trump.
This does not bode well for USA-German relations.
Fear is a powerful motivator.
Plus, they are frustrated by his regular insults and put downs. They are scrambling to try to figure out what to do next.
Enter Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, once again:
1 September 2017
More than 1,000 people queued to crowd into a hall in the small Bavarian town of Kulmbach this week for a German parliamentary election rally. Hundreds more sat in the foyers or stood outside to watch the event on television screens. A stranger might have thought that chancellor Angela Merkel was heading the bill. Instead the speaker was a local politician who is not even standing in this month’s parliamentary poll: Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg. Widely seen as one of the few German politicians with genuine crowd-pulling power, Mr zu Guttenberg was once a rising star of German politics. …
His allies in the Bavaria-based Christian Social Union, which campaigns jointly with Ms Merkel’s Christian Democrats, appealed for his return.
Now, six years on, the 45-year-old prince from across the water is back — at least for the September 24 election. In Kulmbach, he spoke effortlessly without notes for 75 minutes: self-deprecatingly, he joked that he could not have read out a written speech because someone might have thought it was plagiarised. He was “brilliant”, said a spectator. “Captivating,” said another. “A real noble,” said a third, suggesting that the advantages of birth still count, at least among people whose ancestors were zu Guttenberg underlings. One man held a banner saying: “The saviour of us all.” …
Bild, the top-selling newspaper, pictured Mr zu Guttenberg and his wife Stephanie — a descendant of 19th-century statesman Otto von Bismarck — on its front page with the headline: “The return of the Guttenbergs.” Werner Weidenfeld, head of the Centre for Applied Policy Research in Munich, who has known Mr zu Guttenberg for a decade, says: “He is a charismatic politician in a political landscape not overloaded with charisma.” https://www.ft.com/content/14073d00-8f11-11e7-a352-e46f43c5825d accessed 09/06/18
Notice that Herr Guttenberg was called “The saviour of us all.” Well, Jesus is the Saviour (1 Timothy 4:10; Acts 4:10-12; 2 Peter 3:17-18). But the Bible warns about a Beast that will appear to many, particularly in Europe, as the one who will deliver them from problems (e.g. Daniel 11:23-24) and that will be worshipped (Revelation 13:1-8).
There are certain “Catholic” prophecies about a leader often called the “Great Monarch,” who is supposed to save Catholicism and become the Emperor of an end-time “Holy Roman Empire” (see also The Great Monarch: Biblical and Catholic Prophecies). Notice the following “Catholic” writings:
Father Laurence Ricci, S.J. (died 1775): At a time when the whole world seems doomed, God will intervene. With His aide a valiant duke will arise from the ancient German house which was humiliated by the French monarch. This great ruler will restore stolen Church property. Protestantism will cease … This duke will be the most powerful monarch on earth. At a gathering of men noted for piety and wisdom he will, with the aid of the Pope, introduce new rules, and ban the spirit of confusion. Everywhere there will be one fold and one shepherd.” (Conner p.37)
Werdin d’ Otrante (13th century): “The Great Monarch and the Great Pope will precede Antichrist…All the sects will vanish. The capital of the world will fall…The Great Monarch will come and restore peace and the Pope will share in the victory.” (Connor, Edward. Prophecy for Today. Imprimatur + A.J. Willinger, Bishop of Monterey-Fresno; Reprint: Tan Books and Publishers, Rockford (IL), 1984, p. 33).
Several private prophecies of canonized Saints specifically state that there will be a latter restoration of the Holy Roman Empire and that there will be at least one last Holy Roman Emperor. The authenticity of the authorship of such prophecies of canonized Saints (e.g., St. Hildegard, St. Vincent Ferrer, St. Francis of Paula, and St. John Vianney) at least over the last eight hundred years is scholastically unquestionable. (Birch, DA. Trial, Tribulation & Triumph: Before During and After Antichrist. Queenship Publishing Company, Goleta (CA), 1996, p. 281).
Some of the prophecies involving the “Great Monarch” seem to be discussing the same individual that the Bible calls the final “King of the North” (Daniel 11) and the final “Beast” (Revelation 13). Because of this, many “Catholic” (including Eastern Orthodox) prophecies will be included in this article.
(For more on the Great Monarch, check out the article: The Great Monarch: Biblical and Catholic Prophecies.)
As long term readers of this COGwriter Church of God News page are aware, I have been warning about Herr Guttenberg since 2009 (see Might German Baron Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg become the King of the North?). He has potential to either be the King of the North Beast power of Bible prophecy, or at least a potentially major supporter. Presuming either is the case, I expect the nominally Roman Catholic Guttenberg to one day betray the Church of Rome (cf. Revelation 17:16-18).
Back in 2015, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, former German Defense Minister, called Donald Trump “that blonde lunatic named Donald.” So, Herr Guttenberg was on the forefront of warning against Donald Trump.
The Europeans in general, and the Germans in particular, do not like Donald Trump.
It was actually because of this, that I told someone in July of 2016 that Donald Trump could well become the next President of the United States.
As far as Europe, Germany, and Donald Trump go, check out some comments in my book, Donald Trump and America’s Apocalypse:
3. Europeans are Not Pleased
Has or will Donald Trump affect Europe?
Yes.
He will do so in many ways, including several that few consider.
The Washington Post reported in late 2016 that Donald Trump admired Richard Nixon. It also reported:
Donald Trump appears to have embraced, with gusto, Richard Nixon’s “Madman Theory” of foreign policy. He thinks he can use his reputation for unpredictability and lack of respect for long-standing international norms to unnerve and then intimidate America’s adversaries into making concessions that they would not otherwise make. (Hohmann J, Deppisch B. The Daily 202: Donald Trump embraces the risky ‘Madman Theory’ on foreign policy. Washington Post, December 20, 2016)
Donald Trump’s foreign policy statements have unsettled many—in the U.S.A. as well as foreign nations. He seems like he will more unpredictable than Richard Nixon.
There is also something referred to as the “law of unintended consequences.” There are consequences for the U.S.A., Europe, and elsewhere that have and will occur because of Donald Trump’s statements and actions.
Many Europeans Do Not Like Donald Trump
Because of some of them, back in late 2015, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, former German Defense Minister, called Donald Trump “that blonde lunatic named Donald.” (Wish List or Reality? Digital Trends in 2016 | Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg | hub conference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgdZUA96UBU. Posted 12/11/ 2015)
Donald Trump will not ‘make America great again.’ His rise is dangerous for many reasons, but prophetically, one of them is that his rise has shown the Europeans that the USA is moving in a direction they do not like (cf. Daniel 11:39).
Climate Change
Donald Trump’s views against the ‘climate change’ agenda have not pleased the Europeans. …
Donald Trump’s view of climate change is expected to set up some type of issue between the USA and Europe. Europe will tend to see the USA as an irresponsible polluter of the planet, while Europe will claim to be the protector that the world needs. …
Trade
Donald Trump has stated his firm opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP). …
Some believe that Donald Trump’s positions on trade will lead to a global trade war that could trigger some type of international war (Katasonov V. Only One Step Away from a Global Trade War. Strategic Culture Foundation, December 12, 2016). It is my position that trade disputes will be a factor in Europe taking military action against the U.S.A. one day.
Energy and climate policy differences between the Europeans and Donald Trump may increase the negative view many in Europe already have about the USA. …
German Concerns About USA and Donald Trump
Some consider that Donald Trump’s rise is a sign that the USA is in decline. …
Germans and others see the USA declining. Europe will go in a direction that USA leaders, including its ‘foreign policy experts,’ do not comprehend (Daniel 11:39; Isaiah 10:5-11).
When my wife and I were in Europe in late 2016, many of the Europeans we spoke to were essentially of the view that the USA is supposed to be the leader of the West, so how could it possibly elect Donald Trump? We were told this by Europeans from countries like Switzerland, Spain, and the Netherlands. European disdain for Donald Trump and how they perceive his leading of the USA is real. …
There Will be Consequences
Donald Trump indicated that Europe needs to pay for more of its defense or the USA should not have to pay for it (Collinson S. 5 candidates make closing arguments on CNN ahead of Western Tuesday. CNN, March 20, 2016).
Many in the USA do not seem to realize that once Europeans are spending more for their militaries, that they will also expect to have more independence from the USA as to how military might will be used. …
Donald Trump has made statements that will help lead to the rise of a European Empire as well as an Islamic confederation. These are to be led by leaders that the Bible refers to as the King of the North and the King of the South respectively.
The rise of Donald Trump should show 21st century people that the King of the North will be able rise up in Europe.
… prophecies indicate that the “Great Monarch/King of the North“ will get a “great army” (Daniel 11:25; that might increase after the USA is attacked), lead a force that will destroy the United States (Daniel 11:39), and will apparently be assisted by the King of the South (Psalm 83:3-8; Daniel 11:27). (Thiel B. Donald Trump and America’s Apocalypse. Nazarene Books, 2017)
I warned about “unintended consequences” in that book about Europe and we are starting to see this happening. The distancing of Europe from the USA is encouraging them to build their military. Europeans are concluding that they cannot rely on the USA anymore. And this means in matters of not only trade, but defense.
Back in 1962, the old Radio Church of God published the following:
God’s Destiny for Germany
Despite the fact that it is God who will use Germany to destroy America, Germany must be destroyed as well for HER rebellion against God—“I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. For he saith, by the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent!” (Is. 10:12,13)
The leaders of a United Europe, when they succeed against the United States, will begin to think THEIR prudent planning, THEIR wise ideas and THEIR powerful might have made them successful! They will not realize that they have only been used as a base tool of destruction in the hand of the Almighty God! “Shall the axe boast itself against him that hews therewith? Or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood” (Isa. 10:15). God explains here that despite the fact that He has used Assyria to punish Israel, Assyria is also rebellious against His law and government, His way, and since it will magnify itself against the very God of creation, as Dan. 11: 36 and 37 explain, GOD WILL HAVE TO PUNISH IT FOR THIS.
So GOD says, “The Lord of hosts has sworn. saying, Surely as I have thought, so SHALL IT COME TO PASS: and as I have purposed, so SHALL IT STAND; That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains TREAD HIM UNDER FOOT: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their (the Israelites) shoulders” (Isa.14: 24,25). Just shortly before Jesus Christ Himself intervenes in this world’s affairs. He will take another nation as a punishing club in His hands and punish the proud Assyrians, the modern Germans at the head of the United States of Europe. “Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall nor regard silver; and as for gold they shall not delight in it … Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children. And Babylon (the modern resurrected and revived Roman Empire, dominated by a fascist Germany), the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah!” (Is. 13: 17-19.) …
Since God himself has pronounced a curse on modern Israel, and is going to hand us over to the Assyrians, it is evident that we CANNOT TRUST in the American way of life either!
Nothing is left outside these three great systems and powers on earth, under man, except Anarchy!
MAN’S ONLY HOPE LIES IN TURNING TO HIS CREATOR GOD! …
YOUR only hope as an individual is to turn to God-to the Living Creator who is working our events here below on this earth-who is very concerned about YOU, who promises you safety from these horrible rimes to come! Heed the warning given by Jeremiah! The only ‘Way to escape these sure prophecies of God is by REPENTANCE- nationally or individually! (Hill DJ, God’s Destiny for Germany. Plain Truth, March 1962, pp. 28-29)
Trust God (Proverbs 3:5-6). Do not put your trust in the USA (cf. Proverbs 3:7).
Fear is a powerful motivator and Germans are afraid of Donald Trump. But more and more are starting to look again at Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg.
Karl Guttenberg is a politician. He is not our (or the Germans) saviour.
We are seeing more and more reasons that show that Donald Trump’s actions will be a factor in the rise of the European King of the North Beast power (cf. Daniel 11:39; see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses and Donald Trump in Prophecy).

Blockchain, Karl Guttenberg, and 666. American Express just announced a deal with Ripple related to using its blockchain technology. No longer confined to Bitcoin, blockchain technology is moving towards the mainstream. Former German Economic and later Defense Minister, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg has long been an adviser to Ripple and has plans for internationally-expanding the use of blockchain money. Jim Rickards, Doug Casey, and others have expressed concerns that blockchain money will give governments too much control over buying and selling. Could any of this be related to biblical prophecies in the Books of Daniel and Revelation? Could any of this help fulfill the prophecies related to buying and selling and 666 in Revelation 13?
