AfD rising: Europe becoming more anti-migrant


COGwriter

Earlier this month, I made a post with the following headline:

“Migrants Will Soon Be The Powerful” Italians and Germans Concerned

Various ones in Europe are voicing their opposition to migrants and Germany’s Alternative für Deutshland (AfD) party continues to rise.

The following is a machine-translation of the Tweet in German above:

10 years AfD. 10 years in which Germany has changed a lot under Merkel and traffic lights:

❌More illegal migration
❌More asylum abuse
❌More crime
❌More housing shortage
❌More Cancel Culture

Now it’s time to change that. And that’s only possible with us.

So, the AfD considers itself Germany’s only hope. So, basically, did Adolf Hitler and his supporters.

Here is a report from ZeroHedge on the AfD:

Germany’s Anti-Immigration AfD Hits New Polling High Of 20%

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is more popular with voters than ever before, soaring to 20 percent of the vote in the latest Sunday poll, released every week by INSA on behalf of Bild newspaper. It has never reached this level in an INSA poll before, with the AfD’s steady weekly ascent in popularity shaking the German political establishment.

The poll shows that the AfD improved by half a percentage point compared to last week’s poll, leaving it tied with the Social Democrats (SPD) and only 6.5 points behind the Christian Democrats (CDU/CSU).

In the poll, the CDU and FDP each lost half a percentage point, bringing both parties to 26.5 and 7.5 percent, respectively.

AfD politicians celebrated the polling results, with Martin Hess posting on Twitter: “Record! In the ‘Sunday Question’ survey by the Insa Institute, our AfD comes to 20 percent nationwide. That puts us on par with the ruling SPD and only 6.5 percentage points behind the Union.” …

AfD’s surge has likely been driven by a broad range of factors. Germany is facing a significant inflation and economic crisis, as well as a migration crisis. 06/21/23 https://www.zerohedge.com/political/germanys-anti-immigration-afd-hits-new-polling-high-20

It is feared by some that the AfD is basically anti-immigrant, anti-democratic, wants a strong man to rule, and that it is increasing its political clout.

AfD has often been portrayed as intolerant of various races and religions.

Yet, the AfD continues to make gains in Germany, particularly in much of the east.

Although the AfD is still a minority party, it reminds many people of Adolf Hitler’s party.

Somewhat to address those type of concerns, in 2018 AfD founding member Alexander Gauland said, “Hitler and the Nazis were no more than a speck of bird’s {dung} in over 1,000 years of successful history” (see https://www.dw.com/en/germanys-far-right-afd-marks-10-years-since-its-founding/a-64607308).

Consider that Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; NSDAP) rose from obscurity to win 18.3 percent of the vote and 107 parliamentary seats in the 1930 election when Germany had major economic problems. The main party in Germany at the time did not see it as a real threat and eventually made a deal with it. Then, everything in Germany changed and soon Adolf Hitler led the country.

Will a change come again to Germany?

Yes.

The reality is many in Germany are upset about energy, economic, and immigration matters and essentially not being able to boldly talk about it. More and more want a strong leader.

The Bible shows that a militaristic leader called the Beast will arise and become militarily successful (Revelation 13:1-4). Germans will be comfortable, for a time, with such a militarily, successful leader.

Europe will one day support a dictatorial strongman.

Notice some items from the old Radio/Worldwide Church of God that were published decades ago (bolding mine) regarding German’s future:

Watch the emergence of a strong man in West Germany (Hogberg G and Walter EM. NATO at the Crossroads. Plain Truth, May 1969)

“Fascism in Europe is about to be reborn in respectable business attire, and the Treaty of Rome will finally be implemented to its fullest extent.. the dream of a Holy Roman, Empire returning to power to dominate and direct the so-called forces of Christian mankind of the Western world is not dead, but still stalks through the antechambers of every national capital of continental Western Europe… IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE LEADERS IN THE COMMON MARKET NATIONS TO RESTORE THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE WITH ALL THAT THAT MEANS!” (Northwest Technocrat, Vol. XXV, No. 205.) United within the ancient boundaries of the Holy Roman Empire; united by the common spiritual bond of universal Catholicism; united in a burgeoning and booming industrial economy that dominates today’s world; united geographically in the most productive and industrial complex of all the earth — at least TEN NATIONS OF MODERN EUROPE WILL MARCH ONTO THE SCENE OF WORLD HISTORY AS THE GREATEST SINGLE HUMAN FORCE EVER SEEN BY MAN! (Hill DJ. What is Germany’s Destiny? Plain Truth, March 1962)

The prophecy of Daniel 11 … 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).

Finally feeling the chilling embrace of Moscow, the German people may yet call for the Bavarian strongman — the one they feared in good times — to rescue them from their impending doom. (Hogberg G. WHERE Is WEST GERMANY Headed? Plain Truth, December 1980).

A Bavarian strongman would be someone from Bavaria, which is in southern Germany (the southern border of Bavaria runs to the northern border of Austria). The strongman that Gene Hogberg had in mind back in 1980 (Franz Joseph Strauss) died. Yet, let me add that there is another Bavarian strongman who I have kept my eye on who may one day rise up. His name is Karl-Theodor zu-Guttenberg (see Might German Baron Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg become the King of the North?). A reader sent me a link a while back to a presentation that Herr Guttenberg gave in May of 2016 where he called for more passionate leaders in Europe. One such leader will arise.

When the time comes for the final Beast leader to arise, he will most likely be at least partially German, as all the leaders of the old Holy Roman Empire were as well.

Notice something reported here back in 2019:

Germans and other Europeans will get sufficiently frustrated with democracy (as well as will be deceived by various signs and lying wonders–2 Thessalonians 2:8-12) that they will support a dictatorial leader over Europe.

And that will include not only those in Germany, but elsewhere. (Thiel B. Germany’s AfD party makes gains that ‘shock, but . . . COGwriter, September 2, 2019)

And yes, now we see more concerns that some in Germany are less supportive of democracy. World events continue to align with properly understood biblical prophecies.

Adolf Hitler, himself, was actually Austrian-German. Years ago, the Continuing Church of God is pleased to announce this sermonette from its ContinuingCOG channel:

Boris Johnson, the former Mayor of London, stated that the European Union wanted to be what Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte tried to create. Duncan Smith agreed. But European Council President Donald Tusk called Johnson’s comments absurd and then stated that the EU was the answer to the problems facing Europe. But what does the Bible teach about the future of Europe? Is European unity the answer or will it usher in something worse than Adolph Hitler? Dr. Thiel quotes Jesus and others in the Bible for those who truly want to know what will happen in a unified Europe.

Here is a link to our video: European Unity to be like Hitler?

There were unity problems in Germany, but many appeared to be gone with Adolf Hitler in charge.

The AfD has pushed religion.

A motion presented by far-right party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) to establish an International Day against the Persecution of Christians was struck down by the German parliament, with the other parties in the assembly criticizing the proposal as propaganda. …

The AfD has a hard anti-immigration stance and for its ties with far-right movements it is ostracized by other parties. Ruling party SPD called the proposal a “hate” one, with junior coalition partners from the Green Party agreeing, adding that the move was propaganda to make AfD “defenders of Christianity”. https://www.europeaninterest.eu/article/afds-proposal-on-christian-persecution-receives-no-support-in-german-parliament/

It remains my view that the King of the North Beast will feign adherence to a changed version of Roman Catholicism. That is something that many in the AfD will accept.

Notice also the following video:

14:22

AfD: Prelude to a Hitler Beast?

Germany’s Alternative für Deutshland (Alternative for Germany in English) party celebrated its 10th anniversary on February 6, 2023.

It objects to:
❌More illegal migration
❌More asylum abuse
❌More crime
❌More housing shortage
❌More Cancel Culture

The AfD also asserts, “Now it’s time to change that. And that’s only possible with us.” Many are concerned that the AfD’s growing political influence will impact Germany. Can a strong man worse than Adolf Hitler, that the Bible calls the Beast rise up from Germany? Could Europe reorganize with a small backing to put this leader into place? Does the AfD want to make a deal with Russia? Will Germany make a future deal with Russia that would be opposed to the USA? Does the AfD want religion involved to meet its objectives in such a way that it could support the coming King of the North Beast power that the Bible warns will arise in Europe? Could Europe unite under such a leader according to scripture? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel go over these matters.

Here is a link to our video: AfD: Prelude to a Hitler Beast?

The rise of AfD reminds some of pre-WWII. We are getting closer and closer to WWIII.

But it is not just the AfD in Europe. A reader sent me a link to the following:

For Europe, Austria’s Far Right Is a Harbinger of Things to Come

For anyone following and analyzing Austrian politics during the 1990s, there was no escaping the steady rise of Jorg Haider. … The fact that Haider’s parents had been fervent supporters of the Nazi party before 1945 and that his own rise had begun in organizations with a long history of pan-German far-right politics meant that he was distrusted by many Austrians who remained fearful of a resurgence of authoritarianism. However, this background gave Haider credibility among far-right milieus that remained a looming presence in Austrian society. And his underlying charisma enabled him to broaden his appeal to social groups that had until then maintained their distance from extremist politics. …

Whenever confronted over Haider’s racist dog-whistle appeals that were barely concealed by his cultured rhetoric, those who admired his panache would describe him using the highest compliment possible in Austria for anyone considered to be charming and handsome: fesch. …

Since his death, however, other European leaders who combined Haider’s populist charisma with a disciplined focus on staying in power have succeeded in entrenching a party machine in government. … racist theories are today converging with suspicion of scientific and state authority among a growing number of voters …

Today’s far right is harnessing populist tropes for an attack against democratic norms that is far more systemic than the ill-disciplined efforts of a previous generation of leaders, https://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/austria-politics-fpo-freedom-party-haider-europe-far-right/?one-time-read-code=218817168736783333344

No improvements in sight

Historian Iván T. Berend paints a bleak picture in Népszava:

“The world is in a frightening state of flux. Refugees are arriving en masse in Europe and America from Asia and Africa. It has clearly become impossible to take them all in. … ” 06/21/23 https://www.eurotopics.net/en/302965/more-refugees-less-solidarity

Europe is more and more upset about migrants and anti-migrant sentiment will be a factor in the rise of the Europe King of the North Beast power.

The Bible shows that King of the North Beast will fight against people from the Middle East and North Africa (cf. Daniel 11:40-43) and lead a powerful European military (cf. Revelation 13:3-4; Daniel 11:39-43). These are things that many in the AfD and Austria want!

That said, the Bible, itself, teaches that there will be unity problems in Europe:

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)

It will take a strong leader to make Europe’s coming, temporary unity stronger.

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).

The Bible specifically shows that a reorganization will come to Europe and power will be given to that 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)

Revelation 17:13 is clearly talking about a dictator–one the Bible calls the beast.

(More on the reorganization is discussed in the article: Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?)

The Bible also shows that religion will be used by the King of the North:

36 “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. 37 He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. 38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 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.  (Daniel 11:36-39)

(To prove this leader will be European, please watch the video: Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European?)

But he will bring war (cf. Revelation 13:1-4; Daniel 11:39-44).

While the AfD has its own problems, its rise is demonstrating that Germans are becoming less tolerant of democracy than many thought.

The same is going to be true in more parts of Europe as well.

Several items of possibly related interest may include:

Will Islam be Pushed Out of Europe? On June 8, 2018, Austria’s Chancellor Sebastian Kurz announced the closing of seven Islamic mosques in an effort to reduce “political Islam.” In the past several years, at least 6 European nations have banned the wearing of a commonly used garment by Islamic females. Heinz-Christian Strache (later Vice Chancellor of Austria) has declared that Islam has no place in Europe. Did Germany’s Angela Merkel call multiculturalism a failure? Will there be deals between the Muslims and the Europeans? Will a European Beast leader rise up after a reorganization that will eliminate nationalism? Will Europe push out Islam? What does Catholic prophecy teach? What does the Bible teach in Daniel and Revelation? Is Islam prophesied to be pushed out of Europe? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video.
