Germany’s Merkel in China: A Prelude to Daniel 11:39?

Angela Merkel

Germany’s Chancellor Merkel is meeting in China Thursday:

30 August 2012

BERLIN—German Chancellor Angela Merkel arrives in China on Thursday at the head of the largest German business delegation ever to visit the country, underscoring Germany’s growing economic dependence on the world’s most populous nation amid Europe’s economic stagnation.

Ms. Merkel’s second trip to China this year, and the sixth since she became chancellor, will revolve mostly around economic ties, German officials said, a sign of Ms. Merkel’s willingness to play down thorny issues such as human rights and patent protection. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444506004577618272934149832.html

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is set to make her second trip of the year to China this week, with her eyes on getting Chinese support for the European debt crisis.

Germany is China’s top trade partner in the EU – nearly half of all European exports to China come from Germany. Meanwhile, Germany buys nearly a quarter of all China’s EU imports.

Other than perhaps selling out on human rights issues, will there be a bigger cost for China helping to at least partially bail out the Europeans?

Daniel 11:39 shows the following:

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.

The two Hebrew words translated as “the strongest fortresses” in verse 39 do not appear together anywhere else in the Bible.

Something is, thus, unique here.

Who has the strongest fortresses?

Looking further down in this chapter in Daniel, we must eliminate the King of the South, because that King is not attacked until the next verse. We must also eliminate those in the North and East, as they do not get involved until verse 44.

Neither the rest of Africa nor Latin America has anything resembling “the strongest fortresses.” The strongest fortresses belong to the United States, and to a much lesser degree, its English-speaking allies.

Thus, Daniel 11:39 is describing when the Anglo-English-American nations are destroyed, and their lands are divided and distributed.

What might this have to do with Germany and China?

There is also an ancient Chinese prophecy that could hint that areas like Australia and/or New Zealand could end up as part of China. The ancient Chinese prophecy states, “Population mouth takes territories south of the Yangtze river. The capital is moved again. The two divide up the territories, of which each maintains and defends.”

As I wrote some time ago, this may be related to a deal that perhaps the Chinese will make in the future with Europe, as opposed to military conquest. It also may be related to the taking of Australia or New Zealand.

As I warned about and then reported about, the Chinese, in reaction to a deal made by Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Barack Obama to station U.S. Marines in Darwin, have indicated that this and the expanded military cooperation between Australia and the U.S.A. is putting Australia at risk of attack by China.

China may be granted lands like Australia in partial repayment for the debts that the U.S.A. owes it, as well as in full payment for any debts Europe itself may incur with China (it is likely that China will loan money and/or increase investments in Europe). It is also possible that a country like Japan may get some Anglo-dominated land (New Zealand comes to mind) in partial repayment for the debts that the U.S.A. owes it (and also possibly Europe) since the King of the North will divide land for gain (see also Will the Anglo-Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves?).

Perhaps it should also be mentioned that the dividing of the conquered lands also seems to be foretold in the Bible in Lamentations 4:16 and Joel 3:2.

The trip by the German Chancellor may be a step towards that, despite the fact the Germans (who seem to have descended from among the Assyrians, see Germany’s Assyrian Roots Throughout History) would not think so (cf. Isaiah 10:7), that could lead to China ending up with some current Anglo-lands.
