EU Army warning: Candidate to replace Merkel demands ‘serious steps’ taken – huge backlash
The German Green Party’s candidate to succeed Ms Merkel has set out steps to implement the creation of a European Union armed forces in the party’s foreign policy agenda. Polls in Germany suggest that the Green Party’s Annalena Baerbock has a high chance of becoming the nation’s first Green Chancellor. Ms Baerbock has called for the creation of EU military units that would come under the direct control of the European parliament. …
Speaking to German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung she said: “In my view, we have to bundle our capabilities together more strongly as Europeans. …
“Firstly, a European army only makes sense if there’s a European foreign policy to enforce and there isn’t and can’t be without a true European government.
“So that should be the call.” …
The German Green Party has traditionally been pacifist and campaigned for the nation to withdraw from Nato and remove US atomic weapons from its territory.
However, the Greens have adopted a more pragmatic and less principled approach in recent years. …
The Green Party, in its new-found pragmatism, has even claimed that US atomic bombs could provisionally remain on German soil. 04/26/21 https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1428134/eu-army-news-latest-european-union-Baerbock-angela-merkel-putin-nord-stream-2
So, now the so-called “pacifist” party in Germany wants to have a European army.
According to the Bible, the Europeans will get a great one:
16 … the king of the north … 25 … shall stir up his power and his courage … with a great army. (Daniel 11:16, 25)
It should be pointed out that the final King of the North is a European leader (see Who is the King of the North? and watch also Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European?).
(Public Domain Picture)
Europe is developing its own military. The Bible says it will have a “great army” (Daniel 11:25) and will become the aggressor against the USA in the future per Daniel 11:39.
Europe already has PESCO, its Permanent Structured Cooperation–which it formed within a year of Donald Trump becoming President of the United States–his position was used as a reason, in my view, to accelerate the move towards a stronger EU military.
Some think this will be good for the USA:
PESCO is in the American Interest
On December 8, 2017, the European Council established Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO), an EU program that aims to increase joint and collaborative defense capability development projects within the EU framework. …
U.S. policymakers and security analysts have traditionally voiced skepticism about PESCO and the possibility that it could diminish American influence in Europe or lead to a European army. However, PESCO supports American interests on the continent, and the Biden administration should vocally encourage PESCO’s implementation as a means to bolster European defense capacity. …
PESCO Supports American Interests
It is worth flipping PESCO’s skeptics’ argument on its head and asking whether conservative American opposition to PESCO is less about interoperability or efficiency concerns and more about a fear that European defense companies could become more competitive with American companies in the coming years. .. it makes little sense for Washington to continue calling on Europeans to increase their defense spending but only if they do so in very particular ways. The fact that EU member states are developing these capabilities at all is a positive sign for European security. Discouraging such initiatives makes Washington’s calls for European defense spending increases—and in particular using defense spending to primarily purchase American systems—seem more self-serving than grounded in a genuine desire to develop European capabilities. …
That said, there are some projects where American involvement is imperative. Chief among them is PESCO’s military mobility project coordinated by the Netherlands. The Biden administration has already signaled that it wants to join this project, which is an unsurprising development given the importance of military mobility in Europe to NATO’s troop movement across the continent.
Washington should also look to join projects where it can provide financial support or expertise to increase the project’s effectiveness, and it should continue to encourage the EU to deepen defense integration through PESCO. In short, PESCO is in the American interest and it will enable the EU to be a more effective military partner, improve NATO’s logistical capabilities, and bolster conventional deterrence on the continent. accessed 04/29/21 c. 04/01/21 https://www.iar-gwu.org/blog/a535fp9un5oo9hqv8d7olhyxwq23b5
PESCO is NOT in the American interest as it will help lead to the prophesied takeover of the USA by the Europeans (cf. Daniel 11:39).
Related to PESCO, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
PESCO and a Great European Army
In November 2018, French President Macron called for a “true European army” because of China, Russia, and the USA. Some others in Europe have echoed that sentiment. On November 9, 2018, US President Donald Trump called that an insult, but the next day said that the USA wanted “a very strong Europe.” Emmanuel Macron referred to Donald Trump as “my friend” and indicated a desire to strengthen Europe’s military spending. In December 2017, 25 European nations agreed to be part of a military alliance called PESCO. Europe also has NATO and IEI. Will Europe end up with “a great army”? Has Donald Trump’s announcement to withdraw from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty gotten some to say that Europe must rebel against the USA? Is the idea of a United States of Europe and a European army a “paranoid fantasy” or a biblical reality? Will the USA regret Europe becoming a stronger military power? Will the USA be betrayed by “friends” such as its continental European allies? Does the Bible teach any or all of this? Are there connections to the Beast of Revelation or the King of the North of Daniel 11? Dr. Thiel addresses these matters in this video.
Here is a link to the sermonette video: PESCO and a Great European Army.
The Bible shows that a leader will arise in Europe who, though talking peace, eventually will destroy places like the USA, UK, and Canada:
24 His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power;
He shall destroy fearfully,
And shall prosper and thrive;
He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.25 “Through his cunning
He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule;
And he shall exalt himself in his heart.
He shall destroy many in their prosperity. (Daniel 8:24-25, NKJV)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, NKJV).
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (Daniel 8:25, KJV).
23 And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. 24 He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time. (Daniel 11:23-24, NKJV)
So this leader gives people the impression that there will be “peace” and is involved in some type of deal. This is the same leader that confirms the covenant in Daniel 9:27. The term is translated as “peace” in Daniel 8:25 is from the Hebrew term shalvah and essentially means security. In other words, this leader will destroy “many” who are under the impression that they are secure because of some type of security and/or trade arrangement. Such arrangements are now commonly referred to as peace deals or treaties.
He will claim what he is doing is in the American interest, the interest of world peace, etc. But, though he somewhat thinks that, in his heart he will go for war:
6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
8 For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols? (Isaiah 10:6-11, KJV)
Yes, he will eliminate the USA and its British-descended allies.
The USA is “an hypocritical nation” and prophetically is tied in with Samaria.
Anyway, a great European army will form and this will not end well for America.
