It is God who is going to permit the revival of Nazism to punish us in World War III. We have won two major wars against Germany in one generation. But the third time God is going to punish us as we have never been punished before! The sword of war is going to strike us \u201cthe third time\u201d (Ezekiel 21:14), and we are going to be led away captive to Assyria and to all nations (Isaiah 11:10-12). \u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font_text\">When our people have learned their lesson, and repented of their sins and quit breaking God\u2019s law \u2014 the Ten Commandments \u2014 and surrender their lives to their Creator, we read in Isaiah 10:12-22: \u201cWherefore it shall come to pass, that, when the Lord hath performed His whole work upon Mount Zion and on Jerusalem\u201d \u2014 when His people Israel and Judah have gone through trial and tribulation \u2014 \u201cI,\u201d declares God, \u201cwill punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. For he saith, \u2018By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bonds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man: and my hand,\u2019\u201d continues the coming dictator of Germany, \u201c\u2018hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.'(Hoeh H. Germany in Prophecy. Radio Church of God, 1958)<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The old Worldwide Church of God published the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"font_text\">As long as prosperity exists, the German way of life will not change.

(Daniel 11:23-24)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Consider that the German-European alliance was defeated in WWI and WWII. So yes, the fathers (WWII) and forefathers (WWI) of the final <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/kingofthenorth.htm\">King of the North<\/a> failed to defeat the UK and USA those two times. But notice that he is prophesied to be successful against the strongholds, in this case meaning the military alliance of the USA and UK. The third time basically is WWIII and the Germanic-European King of the North Beast power will succeed per Daniel 11:24 and Daniel 11:39 (see also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/usa-strongest-fortresses.htm\">USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses<\/a>). Despite having wealth and the strongholds, the USA and UK will be defeated (this is also basically confirmed in Daniel 11:39). And the USA is unknowingly pushing Europe in that direction.<\/p>\n<p>Let me remind everyone that the Bible teaches that the coming European King of the North Beast power will have \u201ca great army\u201d (Daniel 11:25) and the Trump Administration is pushing Europe in that direction.<\/p>\n<p>The days of the USA are numbered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-visibility-tracking=\"CCMQ0h4YACITCOSavLeAttACFY0LTgodO9kDqyibHECRwpuCj_-d-FE=\">\n<div data-visibility-tracking=\"CCMQ0h4YACITCNv804Of-c0CFbEQfgodb5oO3SibHEDPotOdnsTWjcgB\">\n<div data-visibility-tracking=\"CCMQ0h4YACITCOy52qfE580CFUTlfgodnjcAKCibHECZyerNuf7et3g=\">\n<p>The German-European plan is for Europe to be a strong military power independent of the USA.

(Daniel 11:39)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The \u201che\u201d above is the European King of the North. In the 21st century, the \u201cstrongest fortresses\u201d belong to the USA and its British-descended allies (cf. Daniel 8:24-25; Isaiah 17:3)\u2013and notice that the Bible says that the power with the strongest fortresses will be defeated.<\/p>\n<p>Steps to create a great, German-dominated, European army are being taken now, with plans to do more in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Related to that, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/philadelphia-remnant-beliefs.htm\"><em>Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> (CCOG) put together the following <em>Bible News Prophecy<\/em> video on our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/BibleNewsProphecy\">Bible News Prophecy<\/a> YouTube channel:<\/p>\n<div class=\"channel-videos-text-container\">\n<div id=\"contents\" class=\"style-scope ytd-shelf-renderer\">\n<div id=\"scroll-container\" class=\"style-scope yt-horizontal-list-renderer\">\n<div id=\"items\" class=\"style-scope yt-horizontal-list-renderer\">\n<div id=\"dismissible\" class=\"style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\">\n<p><a class=\"yt-simple-endpoint inline-block style-scope ytd-thumbnail\" tabindex=\"-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zFqayIhu5wY\" rel=\"null\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"img\" class=\"style-scope yt-img-shadow\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/zFqayIhu5wY\/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEcCPYBEIoBSFXyq4qpAw4IARUAAIhCGAFwAcABBg==&amp;rs=AOn4CLAd1vD4lLsSAJdGMOx5qV849N6bAQ\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"overlays\" class=\"style-scope ytd-thumbnail\"><span id=\"text\" class=\"style-scope ytd-thumbnail-overlay-time-status-renderer\" aria-label=\"15 minutes, 6 seconds\"> 15:06<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"channel-videos-text-container\">\n<h3 class=\"style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\"><a id=\"video-title\" class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\" title=\"Germany wants to lead a united Europe\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zFqayIhu5wY\" aria-label=\"Germany wants to lead a united Europe by BibleNewsProphecy 8 hours ago 15 minutes 66 views\">Germany wants to lead a united Europe<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"channel-videos-text-container\"><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">Various leaders in Germany have pointed to a more unified, militaristic, and German-led Europe. After Russia\u2019s \u2018special military operation\u2019 into Ukraine, Germany declared it would increase its military spending to the third highest level of any nation on the planet? German-Foreign-Policy.com reported that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz wants the European Union to play a powerful and more unified geopolitical role. Is what he is stating consistent with prophecies in the Book of Revelation about Europe reorganizing and turning power over to one called the Beast? Are some in Poland and Hungary (like Peter G. Feher) concerned about the domination of Europe by Germany? Is a European\/German leader, prophesied as the \u201cKing of the North,\u201d to make some type of a deal with a leader of nations in the Middle East and North Africa called the \u201cKing of the South\u201d? Is that King of the North prophesied to have a great army and many ships? Could the Beast\/King of the North be German? Did the old Worldwide Church of God warn back in 1980 that, in the future, the German people would be concerned enough about Russia that it would call for a Bavarian strongman to lead them? Does the Bible point to such a leader rising promising peace?
