TW: Germany’s new president plus 10 nation support


Berlin Reichstag

COGwriter

In the latest TW News & Prophecy of the Living Church of God has the following:

Germany’s new president.

A special assembly of the German parliament just elected a new president to replace Christian Wulff, who recently resigned amid scandal. The 72-year-old Joachim Gauck, a former Lutheran pastor, commented on the news of his appointment, “What a glorious Sunday!” Angela Merkel is the daughter of a Lutheran pastor. Both also hail from the former East Germany. Mr. Gauck has four children and is divorced. His partner (not his wife), will take on the responsibilities of “first lady” (BBC.com, March 18, 2012).

The Scriptures clearly state that God removes and sets up kings and leaders, and gives power to whomever He will (Daniel 2:21; 4:17). Bible prophecies reveal that at the end of the age, a German-led Beast power will arise in Europe and will be promoted by a prominent religious leader (Revelation 13).

Will Germany’s new, outspoken and more religious president be more likely to work with the religiously motivated ambitions of the Church of Rome? Time will tell.

For more information on this coming Beast power, review our free reprint article: Resurgent Germany: A Fourth Reich?

It is my position that most of the Lutherans will end up supporting a compromised religion that will call itself Catholic in Europe.  Having more Lutheran leaders in Germany is supportive of that view.  The wife of former German Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg is also Lutheran.

The latest TW News & Prophecy also has the following:

“Ten nations” plus Germany.

A Spanish newspaper reported, “Gathered around Germany, ten nations have formed the ‘Berlin Club’ to revive the European project” (presseurop.eu, March 21, 2012).

At a meeting in Berlin, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle invited nations considered “the most Europhile” to discuss how to “revive the ideal of a united Europe… stabilize growth and the euro… as well as border controls… [and reopen] the discussion on the need for a European Constitution.” The German Foreign Minister “received qualified support” from France and other countries including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and Spain (presseurop.eu, March 15, 2012).

Bible prophecy has long foretold that “ten kings… will give their power and authority [surrender their sovereignty] to the beast” (Revelation 17:12-13)–a German-led power that will arise in Europe and which has links to the ancient Roman Empire (Daniel 2:42-44)–see our booklet, The Beast of Revelation.

While the current ten nations plus Germany are not the final reorganization that Revelation 17:12-13 speaks of, it is interesting how often configurations involving 10 powers have been popping up in Europe the past year or so.  Revelation 17:12-13 will be fulfilled.

But it is not just what is going on in Europe that needs to be looked at from a prophetic perspective.   Probably prior to the reorganization of Revelation 17:12-13, the Bible tells of one or more deals (Psalm 83:4-8; Daniel 9:27; Daniel 11:27) that will involve Germany and the Arab world.

According to Bible prophecy, a European power, despite its fragility, is destined to temporarily be the most dominant force in the world, ultimately conquer the Anglo-descended nations (Daniel 11:39), and later come to its end (Daniel 11:45).

We in the Living Church of God have long taught that Germany (Assyria in end time prophecy) would be the driving force in the end-time European Beast power as well as having a future role in God’s kingdom. Germany has been the main economic engine behind the EU (the Netherlands is also a major, but sometimes overlooked, major economic power there as well).

We believe that over time, Germany will get more and more powerful and that an even stronger union will form in Europe as well as be part of a horrible deal with the Arabs. Germany keeps taking steps that confirm those beliefs.
