Germany Wants Europe’s Gold

Germany wants the gold of certain European nations:

Europe’s debtors must pawn their gold for Eurobond Redemption

Southern Europe’s debtor states must pledge their gold reserves and national treasure as collateral under a €2.3 trillion stabilisation plan gaining momentum in Germany.

Telegraph, London – May 29, 2012 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/9298180/Europes-debtors-must-pawn-their-gold-for-Eurobond-Redemption.html

We will see how the above plays out.

But, notice what I wrote about three years ago in 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect:

Having the European power acquiring a lot more gold to back the Euro (even if the backing is only implied) or possibly other future European currency (that might potentially replace the Euro) may greatly increase European credibility, prosperity, and influence around the globe.

I felt then, as I do now, that there could be enough economic turmoil in Europe that the Euro could possibly be replaced, but still am not certain that it will be (but it could be and could possibly be part of an international basket of currencies). But I did feel that the Europeans would go for gold, and this is a step in that direction (and there will be more: the final King of the North will end up with more gold per Daniel 11:43). World events continue to line up with properly understood biblical prophecy.

While it is certain that there are problems with the European confederation, the Bible predicted them (cf. Daniel 2:41-43), so the recent developments are not unexpected (and I still expect more complaints about austerity, more unrest, etc. in Europe).

The Bible reveals that despite weaknesses (Daniel 2:41-43) there will be a reorganization in Europe (Revelation 17:12-13). The likelihood is that Europe is going to develop some technologies that will propel it into the front of the world economically–more than in the past. The Bible shows that it will make the world wealthy for a time (Revelation 18).

The Bible also shows that ultimately, a major dictator (and the person I currently suspect for that role currently holds no major government office) will rise up and rule end time European Babylon (Revelation 17:1-13), the final King of the North, European Beast power of Bible prophecy (Daniel 11:40).

While Europe is not yet ready to support the final King of the North, we in the Church of God have long taught that it will be. And it likely will be relatively soon.

2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect This is a link related to a book by Bob Thiel (COGwriter). This also has YouTube videos related to 2012. The book contains documented prophecies as well as an end time sequence of events that Christians should study and understand. Including the role of Europe and how it is pivotal to end time biblical prophecy.
