German leader wants Greek land and/or gold for collateral

The crisis in Greece is not over. Notice what a German leader wants to do about it:

February 20, 2017

Bavaria’s 50-year-old finance minister Markus Soeder … according to an interview with Bild, the CSU politician said that:

…new billions should only flow when Athens implemented all the reforms.

Even then, however, aid should only be given against a pledge “in the form of cash, gold or real estate”.

Soeder added, “We need a plan B.”

One wonders if this was Germany’s end-game all along? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-20/german-minister-calls-plan-b-greece-should-pledge-gold-real-estate-new-loans

Various ones in Greece have believed some version of this.

But, although Greece has some gold, it is not enough to cover the debt of Greece.  Yet, it does have land and islands that many in Germany would have interest in.

A while back, an opinion piece in BBC claimed Greece and the Euro will fail:

August 16, 2015

Game theory can’t explain the Greek crisis – the entire euro project is now in the hands of fate, writes philosopher John Gray.

After much drama, a third bailout has been announced for Greece and approved by the Greek parliament. The details have yet to be settled, but whatever deal finally emerges Greece’s government will be compelled to impose more spending cuts and tax rises at a time when unemployment is already higher than it was in America during the Great Depression. The result will be to lock Greece into permanent poverty, while the burden of debt will never be paid off. …

Unworkable and unreformable, the euro can only produce recurrent and worsening crises. But this can go on for only so long. The euro will break down through a process of political contagion, as resurgent nationalism and radical parties of opposition become stronger throughout Europe. The driving force of the currency’s disintegration will be a mood of popular anger. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-33863913

Unless there is a new major economic development in Greece, the Greeks will not be able to pay back the debt. I have been saying that for years, and Greece still has debt troubles.

What about the Euro? Here are some comments from my book Donald Trump and America’s Apocalypse:

The Europeans do not have to have a perfect currency, only one that is perceived to be in better shape than the USA dollar.

Having the European power acquiring more gold to back the Euro or possibly another future European currency (that might potentially replace the Euro or even a basket of currencies) may greatly increase European credibility, prosperity, and influence around the globe, even if the backing is only implied. (p. 171)

Irrespective of what may or may not happen to the Euro, what about Europe?

The Bible tells of a rise of a European power composed of strong and weak parts that do not get along particularly well:

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 rising European Union certain is a mixture like that and some nations do not adhere well with other ones within it.

What about Greece?

For reasons of history and geography, Greece is wanted by the European Union. Greece is a nation that would be expected to be part of the final European Beast power, hence, although there will likely be problems with Greece, it would seem to have to align with Europe.

Notice the following from Daniel 7:

2 Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. 3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. 4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.

5 “And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’

6 “After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.

7 “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words. (Daniel 7:2-8)

The “Great Sea” that bordered the ancient lands of Israel (Numbers 34:6-7; Joshua 1:4; 9:1; 23:4; Ezekiel 47:13-16) is the Mediterranean Sea–and that is the sea that Daniel was referring to. That is why this is a reference to a European power.

As far as Greece goes, the third beast in Daniel 7 was the Greco-Macedonian one, with the four heads. It split into four kingdoms after the death of Alexander the Great. Greece is to be part of the final Beast power.

The Bible is clear that the final European Beast power will be a mixture of of weak and strong parties that do not adhere particularly well together per Daniel 2:41-43. The end result will be that the Beast power will arise, reorganize (Revelation 17:12-13) and surprise many (Revelation 13:1-4). Including the USA and UK who will not fare well (cf. Daniel 11:39).

Europe will arise and Greece will be part of it, irrespective of what the BBC says about it or the Euro or German demands.
