Germany’s Sigmar Gabriel slams Donald Trump’s ‘national egoism’ in UN speech
German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel warned against “national egoism” in world politics on Thursday in his first speech at the United Nations General Assembly.
“This worldview describes the world as an arena, a kind of battleground, in which everyone is fighting against everyone else and in which everyone has to assert their own interests, either alone or in alliances of convenience,” Gabriel told world leaders.
“The motto: ‘Our country first’ only leads to more national confrontations and less prosperity. In the end, there will only be losers,” he said, in a thinly veiled reference to US President Donald Trump’s oft-repeated slogan “Make America Great Again.”
Gabriel’s speech rejected Trump’s previous remarks to the world body that encouraged world leaders to primarily consider their country’s own interests, reiterating his statement that he will be putting “America first” when it comes to foreign policy.
“We have learned that it was not ‘Germany first’ that made our country strong and prosperous. Rather, it was only ‘European and international responsibility first’ that gave us Germans peace and prosperity,” Gabriel said. …
In an interview with DW, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Wednesday that her government had a “clear disagreement with Trump over North Korea.” She went on to offer to mediate between world powers and Pyongyang to reach a diplomatic solution to the crisis. http://www.dw.com/en/germanys-sigmar-gabriel-slams-donald-trumps-national-egoism-in-un-speech/a-40634957
German leaders continue to point to Donald Trump as a reason to work on Germany’s international ambitions. Germany wants to expand its influence and command a more powerful Europe.
Donald Trump makes a good ‘foil’ as many in Germany and Europe despise him so much that doing anything differently than Donald Trump is often considered a positive.
Deutsche Welle (DW) published the following from the former president of Poland:

Aleksander Kwasniewski: An unstable Europe needs a strong Germany
The German election campaign has not set Aleksander Kwasniewski’s pulse racing. However, the former Polish president feels the future of Europe has a great deal riding on the outcome.
This election in Germany does not fire up the emotions, as earlier ones in the Netherlands, Britain and France did. And it’s good thing, too. The political landscape is quite stable and that gives us in Europe the certainty that the key existing political directions will not change. …
Germany, not free of negative phenomena itself, remains the place that has retained stability and faith in European values and possesses that indispensable potential to resolve the most difficult of problems. …
After the election, I expect to see immediate projects aimed at reinforcing European integration and their rapid execution. Europe – like never before – needs strong German leadership.
Germany is predestined to play a key role due to its position as the largest European economic power, its experience as an “engine” state – alongside France – of European integration and also stemming from its historical role of sensitivity toward and understanding of the problems of Central and Eastern Europe.
Germany possesses a fundamental authority in international politics, while German pragmatism can drive forward a deepening of trans-Atlantic relations, which are so important for the whole of Europe. http://www.dw.com/en/aleksander-kwasniewski-an-unstable-europe-needs-a-strong-germany/a-40585805
So, Poland’s former president sees Germany is predestined to lead Europe economically and in international politics. He also sees that Europe needs strong German leadership.
The Bible teaches all of that.
Consider:
41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. (Daniel 2:41-43)
The Bible, thus, shows that there will be a unity problem with Europe. A strong leader will be needed to make Europe’s coming, but temporary, unity stronger.
Notice some items from the old Worldwide Church of God that were published decades ago (bolding mine):
Watch the emergence of a strong man in West Germany (Hogberg G and Walter EM. NATO at the Crossroads. Plain Truth, May 1969)
The prophecy of Daniel 11 details events — at that time, still future — from the remaining days of the Medo-Persian empire, through the reign of Alexander the Great and his successors in Syria and Egypt, and on through to the second coming of Christ! Beginning in verse 40 we read of a conflict between two great powers: “And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind….”
This is an important “end-time” prophecy. Following the chronological progression of the chapter, it becomes apparent that the phrase “king of the north” had at first referred to Syria under the Seleucid dynasty, and later, in the New Testament times, to the Emperor of the Roman Empire. … Thus, in its final end-time application, the “king of the north” is the prophesied strong man who will lead a coming union of ten European nations — the seventh and final revival of the ancient Roman Empire prophesied by Daniel and in the book of Revelation (see Revelation 17:12-13).
The Bible shows that a reorganization will come to Europe and power will be given to a dictator:
12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)
(More on the reorganization is discussed in the article: Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?)
The “Beast” leader will be the one who becomes the final King of the North (cf. Daniel 11:21-44).
The Bible shows that the European beast leader, also called the King of the North, will arise promising peace.
21 And in his place shall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue. 22 With the force of a flood they shall be swept away from before him and be broken, and also the prince of the covenant. 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. (Daniel 11:21-23, 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).
(To prove this leader must be European, please watch the video: Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European?)
More and more in Europe want to do something about the Donald Trump situation.
Europe will one day support a dictatorial strongman. The Bible calls him the Beast of the Sea (Revelation 13:1-10) and the King of the North (Daniel 11:40).
What about the view of the two Worldwide Church of God writers that this dictatorial leader will be German?
It is consistent with biblical prophecy that this leader will be at least partially Germanic (Isaiah 10:5-12; see also Germany’s Assyrian Roots Throughout History and Germany in Biblical Prophecy).
Other people are starting to notice that Europe is already being dominated by Germany (see ‘Undemocratic’ European Union has become a German empire). And many in Europe want that.
We are seeing more calls for Germany to take the lead and distance itself from the USA.
