France is in morning. Authorities in France made some arrests and are seeking two remaining terrorists from Wednesday’s murderous rampage:

January 8, 2015

PARIS—France marks a day of mourning for the deaths of 12 people in Wednesday’s shooting attack on the Paris offices of a satirical magazine as a manhunt continues for the two main suspects.

Police have issued arrest warrants for the two suspected gunmen, brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi, saying they are armed and dangerous. A third suspect — 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad — turned himself in to authorities, but it appears uncertain whether he was involved.

Thousands of police were involved in the manhunt, which was focused on northern France. The French news agency AFP reported that witnesses had apparently spotted the brothers at a petrol station in the northern Aisne region.

Police identified the suspects after one of them left his identity card in the getaway car after Wednesday’s killings.

Authorities said they have so far detained seven suspects, mostly acquaintances of the brothers, in relation to Wednesday’s deadly attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo, the weekly magazine known for cartoons that occasionally mock Muslim extremism.

Police in Paris said a policewoman died after being shot Thursday in the southern part of the capital. It was unclear yet whether the shooting was related to the search for the Charlie Hebdo suspects.

Radical Islam

Authorities believe the attack was motivated by radical Islam. The older brother, Cherif, served prison time a few years ago for his involvement in a network sending fighters to Iraq.

Interviewed on French radio Thursday morning, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said both suspects were known to intelligence services. http://www.voanews.com/content/french-pm-several-arrests-in-search-for-shooters/2590063.html

The youngest suspect in today’s deadly attack at a satirical newspaper’s office in Paris has turned himself in, French police said, while the other two are “on the loose, armed and dangerous.”

French authorities have named the three suspects who they believe are responsible for the shooting deaths of 12 people, U.S. law enforcement officials told ABC News.

Officials identified the suspects as Said Kouachi and Cherif Kouachi, two relatives both in their 30s and still at large, and 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad, who police say is cooperating after his surrender in the French town of Charleville-Mezieres, about 2 miles north of Paris. http://abcnews.go.com/International/youngest-suspect-charlie-hebdo-attack-turns-sought/story?id=28050771

January 8, 2015

PARIS — The search continued on Thursday for two brothers suspected of carrying out the deadly terrorist attack on the offices of the newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris a day earlier, as officials said they had arrested and questioned seven people overnight in connection with the assault.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls of France, in an interview on RTL radio on Thursday, said that the authorities’ main concern was preventing another attack. …

Bernard Cazeneuve, the interior minister, confirmed that seven people had been arrested overnight, but he offered no details on their ties, if any, to the Kouachi brothers. …

President François Hollande declared a national day of mourning on Thursday, which was marked by a minute of silence at noon. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/09/world/europe/charlie-hebdo-terrorist-attack.html?_r=0

A reader sent me a link to the following:

The Charlie Hebdo attack came on the publication day of a contentious new novel, “Submission,” by Michel Houellebecq, which describes the victory of Islam in France and the gradual collaboration of the society with its new rulers from within. Mr. Houellebecq, like the well-known caricaturists and editors who were killed at Charlie Hebdo, has been a symbol of French artistic liberty and license, and his publishers, Flammarion, were reported to be concerned that he and they could be another target.

But the atmosphere has been heightened by the rise of the National Front and its leader, Marine Le Pen, who runs ahead of the Socialist Party in the polls, campaigning on the threat Islam poses to French values and nationhood.

There was much recent attention to another best-selling book by a conservative social critic, Éric Zemmour, called “The French Suicide,” attacking the left and the state for being powerless to defend France against Americanization, globalization, immigration and, of course, Islam. Another new novel, by another well-known French writer, Jean Rolin, called “The Events,” envisions a broken France policed by a United Nations peacekeeping force after a civil war.

“This attack is double honey for the National Front,” said Camille Grand, director of the French Foundation for Strategic Research. “Le Pen says everywhere that Islam is a massive threat, and that France should not support attacks in Iraq and instead defend the homeland and not create threats by going abroad, so they can naturally take advantage of it.” http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/08/world/europe/paris-attack-reflects-a-dangerous-moment-for-europe.html?_r=0

Notice that some of the French want an end to Americanization as well as Islamic influence. France will work towards this.

Here are some quotes from an article I updated last week titled The ‘Lost Tribe’ of Reuben: France in Prophecy?:

What is ahead for the French?

Troubles, economic growth, and disaster.

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?”

5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 6 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many. 7 But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:3-8)

It is likely that troubles for the French will include violent civil unrest. As France has economic problems and a high Islamic population, those factors will likely collide and cause a backlash by the French…

The French will be induced to follow the Beast. … If civil war/riots/civil unrest do occur in Europe on a larger scale, this likely will set the stage for the rising up of a military leader to resolve this. …

Some of wondered if Israelitish-descended nations such as France could be part of the final Beast power. History shows us that France was part of old Roman Empire and parts of it were part of the so-called ‘Holy Roman Empire.’ The fact that at least part of France was part of the beasts in Daniel 2:40-43 and 7:2-8, should show all that it, for a time, can be part of the final Beast power.

Dibar Apartian taught:

a political UNION of TEN nations or governments-which the Bible calls “the beast”-will rise in Europe in the end time. This union of ten European nations will MAKE WAR with the descendants of Jacob, particularly the two sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, whose modern descendants are the peoples of the BRITISH COMMONWEALTH and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

This soon-coming union of ten nations or governments prophetically represents the last “head” of the resurrected “beast”-the revival of the “Holy Roman Empire” (Rev. 17 :9- 1 2). But contrary to what you may think, it will NOT consist only of Gentile nations. It will INCLUDE a group of ISRAELITISH nations. “Come out of her , my people,” says God in Revelation 18:4. “My people” means Israelites in Bible prophecy. Yes, once again, Joseph’ s own brothers will sell him to the Gentiles!

Once again REUBEN (the first-born of Jacob who anciently conspired with his brothers, will “act” in terms of saving him, but end · up by compromising with his brothers to send him into CAPTIVITY.

Ever since the early days of American history, the French have been on our side. There exists a brotherly link among all the ISRAELITISH nations. Nevertheless, by uniting politically with the “beast,” some of the modern Israelites will be instrumental in conquering the United States and Great Britain.

So says YOUR Bible! (Apartian D. De Gaulle and the Next World War. Plain Truth, September 1964, p. 11)

So, unlike some, Dibar Apartian realized that some of the Israelitish nations would be part of the Beast and will betray the sons of Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh; see also Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel).

Perhaps it should to be pointed out that several of the “Israelite nations’ are ethnically mixed (per Davidiy Y. The Tribes, 4th edition. Russell-David Publishers, 2011 and other sources) and it may take them some time for the actual Israelites to separate out. Including some of Reuben.

The Catholic Church of France is sometimes called the “eldest daughter of the Church” owing to its early connection to the Church of Rome from the time of the heretic Irenaeus of Lyon. Some say it began at the time of the Frankish king Clovis (5th-6th century), while others say the title came a little later at the time of Charlemagne (8th-9th century). Charlemagne has been called:

the “Father of Europe” (pater Europae). Charlemagne united most of Western Europe for the first time since the Roman Empire. His rule spurred the Carolingian Renaissance, a period of cultural and intellectual activity within the Catholic Church. Both the French and German monarchies considered their kingdoms to be descendants of Charlemagne’s empire. (Charlemagne, Wikipedia, 12/26/14)

Much of France is nominally Roman Catholic and has long accepted the religion of the Roman Emperor Constantine.

At this time, the French Head of State is allegedly the only temporal power in the world still nominating Catholic bishops, namely the Bishop of Metz and the Archbishop of Strassburg. The proposed bishops are approved by the Pope but formally nominated by the President of France following diplomatic exchanges with the Vatican through the nunciature.

The Bible discusses a fallen church on seven hills/mountains that has fallen daughters in Revelation 17.

If civil war/riots/civil unrest do occur in Europe on a larger scale, this likely will set the stage for the rising up of a military leader to resolve this. …

There will be a gate, a pearl, and other items associated with Reuben:

9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. 12 Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.

14 Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. 17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. 18 The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. (Revelation 21:9-21)

A truly glorious and wonderful future is ahead for the French peoples. However, there will be serious problems that they will face before then.

My wife and I returned from a trip to France last week and put together two sermons related to France: specifically its origins and prophecies related to France. These are The ‘Lost Tribe’ of Reuben and France and Prophecy.

Knowledge of the origin of the French and Bible prophecy helps us to understand what will end up happening in France and elsewhere.

Some items of possibly related interest may include:

Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations? Some claim that these passages refer to a gathering of 10 currently existing nations together, while one group teaches that this is referring to 11 nations getting together. Is that what Revelation 17:12-13 refers to? The ramifications of misunderstanding this are enormous. A related sermon is titled Ten Kings of Revelation and the Great Tribulation.

Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European? The Book of Revelation tells of a beast power that will rise up. Some think that this must be Russia or could be Islamic, while others say that this power is European. The Book of Daniel tells of the rise of an end time King of the North that some think must be referring to a Russian leader, while others say that this power is European. How can you be sure? This YouTube video has all the scriptural proofs that you should need to prove that this power must be a European one.
