ICG and LCG on Future of Euro and Europe


World Currencies

COGwriter

In his latest update, ICG’s Mark Armstrong had the following line:

But Europe, and the euro is poised for collapse now that Italy has joined the insolvent ranks of Greece, Portugal and Spain.

Europe may have civil unrest and civil war (see pages 79-81 of my 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect book), but ultimately it will reorganize and become a powerful force (Revelation 17:12-13; 13:1-4; Daniel 11:39-43).

I read a report from a secular source Friday that forecasted the end of the Euro by the end of 2011.  On the other hand, I read a report from Switzerland that it may tie the value of its currency to the Euro to stop the Swiss Franc from going up so much.  So, apparently the Swiss are not convinced that the Euro is about to be history.

In its announcements yesterday, LCG the following news item:

“Bring Back the Deutschemark!” A highly successful German businessman, Hans-Olaf Henkel, recently called for the eurozone to split in two. The monetarily strong “northern zone” would comprise Germany, Austria, the Benelux nations, Finland, and possibly Ireland. He also asked the question: “German industry’s success was for decades tied to a strong and stable currency with low inflation. Seventeen currency appreciations not only strengthened the deutschemark, it kept the export industry on its toes. For how much longer will German industry allow itself to be seduced by the sweet-smelling poison of a devalued euro?” (see Guardian.co.uk, March 13, 2011). This week another writer, Holman Jenkins Jr. suggested that “Germany and its solvent neighbors should leave the eurozone in favor of a new currency”—the D-mark! Citing both Hans-Olaf Henkel and the turmoil in the southern eurozone nations, Jenkins made a strong case for the re-emergence of the deutschemark (Wall Street Journal, August, 10, 2011). Bible prophecy describes a Beast power that will arise in Europe in the last days (Revelation 17:7-13). This Beast power will very likely be led by a monetarily strong Germany—a nation that we have for more than 60 years said would rise again! This Beast power will bring temporary peace and prosperity to much of the world, yet its downfall will come suddenly (Revelation 18). It is sobering to see these ancient prophecies taking shape today!

As far as the Euro goes, here is some of what I wrote in 2009 in my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect:

Daniel 11:…43:…

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.

The “he” is the King of the North.

It would seem that once the U.S. dollar totally collapses people all around the world will consider that even if the Euro is strong, having a more gold-backed currency would be safer.  Having the European power acquiring a lot more gold to back the Euro (even if the backing is only implied) or possibly other future European currency (that might potentially replace the Euro) may greatly increase European credibility, prosperity, and influence around the globe.

Eventually, despite Europe’s problems (cf. Daniel 2:42-43), Bible prophecy shows that Europe will be THE major economic superpower for a short time. And as I have written many times at COGwriter, I expect the euro to drop in value from time to time, and even to plummet should major civil unrest occur, until the euro (or whatever replacement currency Europe would have should the euro be dropped, including a possible world currency) becomes the actual world reserve currency essentially replacing the US dollar.

So, I have long felt that there is a possibility that the Euro may be replaced and I am still convinced that the US dollar will NOT remain the world’s primary reserve currency.

We in LCG do believe that despite problems (cf. Daniel 2:41-43) the EU will have to reorganize, and ultimately fulfill the prophecies in the Bible about being the final Beast power of Revelation, the final King of the North of Daniel 11.

Can the Great Tribulation Begin in 2011, 2012, or 2013? Can the Great Tribulation begin today? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord?
