New Year’s Day 2013: The Day Greater Germany Was Born

January 4, 2013 p.m.

New Year’s Day 2013, as far as the world’s English-speaking press was concerned, was dominated by negotiations over the so-called Fiscal Cliff in the US and the 40th anniversary of Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland joining what was then called the Common Market, and has since morphed into the European Union.

History, however, seems likely to mark 1.1.13 as the day when the Fiscal Compact, or Fiscal Stability Treaty as it is now to be known, came into force – building on the yet-to-be-completely-finalized ESM Treaty, and the still-to-be-agreed arrangements for the approved Financial Transaction Tax.

Together, these three agreements have precipitated what can only be described as “Greater Germany” – a new type of sovereign state, up to now lacking any trace of democracy or citizen consent, or so far, an identifiable individual despot or tyrant at its head. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/420661/20130104/germany-eu-angela-merkel-jose-manuel-barroso.htm

The reason this post starts with a photo of the Berlin Reichstag is that building was once the parliament of the German Empire. Additionally, it was reported a few months ago that Berlin may now be the de facto capital of the European Union (see Berlin is Europe’s New Capital?).

The Bible shows that certain descendants of ancient Assyria dominate part of the world scene and takeover certain descendants of Israel (it is possible that the USA is considered to be Samaria in certain end time prophecies):

5 “Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hand is My indignation.
6 I will send him against an ungodly nation,
And against the people of My wrath
I will give him charge,
To seize the spoil, to take the prey,
And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Yet he does not mean so,
Nor does his heart think so;
But it is in his heart to destroy,
And cut off not a few nations.
8 For he says,
‘Are not my princes altogether kings?
9 Is not Calno like Carchemish?
Is not Hamath like Arpad?
Is not Samaria like Damascus?
10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols,
Whose carved images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 As I have done to Samaria and her idols,
Shall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols?'” (Isaiah 10:5-11)

So, according to Bible prophecy, an Assyrian-descended power, who does not intend to take over various nations, will do so anyway. Various historical records suggest that at least some of the Germanic peoples have Assyrian ancestry.

The Bible itself also shows that despite its fragility (cf. Daniel 2:41-43), a European-based power 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).

Germany’s influence is rising and more are starting to notice it.
