There was terrorism in Europe and an assassination in Turkey:
December 20, 2016
PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Jumping ahead of investigators, President-elect Donald Trump is blaming Islamic terrorists for deadly violence in Turkey and Germany and vowing anew to eradicate their regional and global networks. …
Trump called the brazen shooting of Russia’s ambassador to Turkey as he attended a photo exhibit “a violation of all rules of civilized order.” He added that a “radical Islamic terrorist” had assassinated the diplomat, Andrei Karlov.
Turkish authorities identified the gunman as Mevlut Mert Altintas, a member of Ankara’s riot police squad, and said he was later killed in a shootout with police. Altintas shouted in Turkish about the Syrian city of Aleppo and also yelled “Allahu akbar,” Arabic for “God is great.”
In Berlin, where at least 12 people were killed, Trump said the Islamic State group “and other Islamist terrorists continually slaughter Christians in their communities and places of worship as part of their global jihad.”
He added that these terrorists and their regional and worldwide networks “must be eradicated from the face of the Earth” and pledged to carry out that mission with “all freedom-loving partners.” …
He later tweeted: “Today there were terror attacks in Turkey, Switzerland and Germany – and it is only getting worse. The civilized world must change thinking!”
In Zurich, police said three people were wounded when a gunman opened fire in the prayer hall of a mosque frequented by Somali immigrants.
Trump vowed during the presidential campaign to go after the Islamic State group, but repeatedly declined to fill in the public on his plan. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_TRUMP?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2016-12-20-08-22-53

The German chancellor has said the deadly truck attack on a Berlin Christmas market was likely an act of terrorism. Interior Minister de Maiziere confirmed the main suspect is a Pakistani asylum-seeker.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she was “horrified, shaken and deeply saddened” on Tuesday about a truck attack that killed at least a dozen people at a Berlin Christmas market.
“I want you to know that all of us, a whole country, is joined with you in mourning and sadness,” Merkel told reporters in the German capital.
A truck slammed into a crowded Christmas market in central Berlin on Monday night, killing at least 12 people and wounding 48, 18 of them seriously, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said at a press conference. Only a few of the victims have been identified so far, he said.
“There is much we still do not know with sufficient certainty but we must, as things stand now, assume it was a terrorist attack,” Merkel said.
During his press conference De Maiziere said “there is no doubt anymore that the horrible event last night was an attack.”
Suspect denies involvement
The main suspect in the attack is a 23-year-old Pakistani citizen who arrived in Germany on December 31, 2015 and had applied for asylum, the Interior Minister said. The man has denied any involvement in the attack.
Merkel said that all of Germany was united in grief, adding that it would be particularly painful if the attacker “came to Germany for protection and asylum.” http://www.dw.com/en/merkel-on-berlin-xmas-market-tragedy-we-must-assume-this-was-a-terrorist-attack/a-36839928

So-called Islamic State (IS) has said one of its militants carried out the lorry attack on a Berlin Christmas market, which left 12 people dead.
The group claimed the attack through its self-styled news agency. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38385961
The ‘Islamic State’ has encouraged this type of truck attack in Christmas markets and could have something to do with the attack in Berlin.
Some blame Angela Merkel’s migrant policies for the attack in Berlin:
Germany’s far-right has blamed Angela Merkel’s immigration policy for the Berlin Christmas attacks as the chancellor insisted terrorists will not destroy ‘freedom’ in the country. …
This morning, Merkel faced a furious backlash over her open-doors policy on immigration having allowed nearly a million people fleeing conflict and poverty in the Middle East and Africa to arrive in the country this year and last.Marcus Pretzell, a prominent member of the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, tweeted: ‘When will the German state of law strike back? When will this cursed hypocrisy finally stop? These are Merkel’s dead! (hash)Nice (hash)Berlin.’Officials of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the BfV, had for long warned of potentially hundreds of terrorists disguised as refugees making it to Germany hidden among the real migrants.
Now the nightmare has come true for Germany: a country which has not sent its troops to fight anywhere since the Second World War is now at war with ISIS.
Merkel has so far refused to amend her refugee policy, however, insisting that Germany can take in large numbers of migrants in the years to come. Allies and critics alike say she ignored the warning signs of calamity at her peril.
The rape and murder of a beautiful young student in the city of Freiburg in October by a 17-year-old migrant was bad for her. What happened in Berlin is a catastrophe and one which she may find difficult to survive. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4050754/Furious-backlash-German-Chancellor-immigration-policy-far-right-declare-victims-Berlin-terror-attack-Merkel-s-dead.html#ixzz4TO3xMBVd
Notice what the tweet photo Dutch politician Geert Wilders sent out on Twitter related to the incident in Berlin:
Geert Wilders Verified account 
Geeert Wilders is clearly trying to tell people that Angela Merkel has blood on her hands for her pro-Islamic migrant policies.
Will Europe react to all the Islamic migrants?
Yes.
The Bible shows that the time will come when a European leader will rise up against a power based in the predominantly Islamic regions of the Middle East and Northern Africa:
40 “At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. 41 He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels. (Daniel 11:40-43)
1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
“‘Wail and say, “Alas for that day!” 3 For the day is near, the day of the LORD is near- a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations. 4 A sword will come against Egypt, and anguish will come upon Cush. When the slain fall in Egypt, her wealth will be carried away and her foundations torn down.
5 Cush and Put, Lydia and all Arabia, Libya and the people of the covenant land will fall by the sword along with Egypt.
6 “‘This is what the LORD says:
“‘The allies of Egypt will fall and her proud strength will fail. From Migdol to Aswan they will fall by the sword within her, declares the Sovereign LORD. 7 “‘They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie among ruined cities. 8 Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I set fire to Egypt and all her helpers are crushed.
9 “‘On that day messengers will go out from me in ships to frighten Cush out of her complacency. Anguish will take hold of them on the day of Egypt’s doom, for it is sure to come (Ezekiel 30:1-9, NIV).
Catholic writings also show that they expect a time when a European leader will purge Islam from Europe:
St. Francis de Paul (1470):…From your lordship shall be born the great leader of the holy militia…the Great Monarch…He shall be a great captain and prince of holy men, who shall be called ‘the holy Cross-bearers of Jesus Christ,’ with whom he will destroy the Mahometan sect and the rest of the infidels … By force of arms he shall take possession of a great kingdom. He shall destroy the sect of Mahomet…There will be one fold, one shepherd. He shall reign until the end of time. On the whole earth there will be twelve kings, one emperor and one pope. (Culleton, p. 157-161).
Pseudo-Methodius (7th century): Muslims will be killed and they will know the tribulation…The Lord will give them to the powers of the Christians whose empire will be elevated above all empires…The Roman King (Great Monarch) will show a great indignation against those who will have denied Christ in Egypt or in Arabia (Araujo, Fabio R. Selected Prophecies and Prophets. BookSurge LLC, Charlestown (SC), 2007, p. 103).
Rudolph Gekner (died 1675). “A great prince of the North with a most powerful army will traverse all Europe, uproot all republics, and exterminate all rebels. His sword moved by Divine power will most valiantly defend the Church of Jesus Christ. He will combat on behalf of the true orthodox faith, and shall subdue to his dominion the Mahometan Empire.” (Cited in Connor, Edward. Prophecy for Today. Imprimatur + A.J. Willinger, Bishop of Monterey-Fresno; Reprint: Tan Books and Publishers, Rockford (IL), 1984, p.36).
The ‘Great Monarch’ also called the ‘great prince of the North’ that is spoken of above is quite similar to the final King of the North that the Bible warns against. Both Catholic and biblical prophecy teach that this leader will be a European, probably at least partially of German heritage and he will fight those of the Arab/African lands. As I have written before, do not be surprised that Islam will be pushed out of Europe to a major degree (Daniel 11:36-38; Revelation 13:4,8,11-17).
Notice that the ‘great prince of the North’ is expected to subdue an Islamic Empire. Notice that the Bible teaches that the ‘king of the North‘ will go into the Middle East and North Africa and eliminate the leader called the ‘king of the South.’
Many in Europe have realized that the Islamic refugees do not want to integrate into European society. Many immigrants want to impose Islamic culture, and that scares a lot of Europeans.
More and more in Europe want to do something about the Islamic situation. Angela Merkel’s statements a while back that Germany plans to send many migrants back after the wars in Syria and Iraq are over (see Germany’s Merkel says that refugees must go back after the war is over), may have temporarily reassured many Germans that something is at least planned to be done. She also commented a couple of weeks ago that Germany will not tolerate Islamic sharia law (see Germany’s Merkel want to ban the burqa and not tolerate any version of sharia).
Despite Angela Merkel’s pledge to send Syrian refugees back, not only do many Europeans want them out now, many of the Muslims will not want to go home to lands that are often more dangerous and whose economies are not as wealthy. Expect conflict, as well as change, in Europe.
The Bible assures us that Europe will one day reorganize (Revelation 17:12-13; see also Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?).
There will be conflict between the Europeans and the Arabs (watch also the video sermonette War is Coming Between Europeans and Arabs).
