His sons Charles (Karl) and Carloman jointly succeed to the Frankish throne.<\/p>\n<p>In 771, Carloman dies suddenly, and Charles becomes sole king of the Franks.<\/p>\n<p>Though only 29 years old, Charles is an imposing figure. He literally exudes power and authority!<\/p>\n<p>Charles is 7 feet tall \u2014 well over a foot above average height \u2014 and robust. He is stately and dignified in bearing, but is known for his warm-heartedness and charity. He speaks a type of Old High German.<\/p>\n<p>But most important, he is a zealous and dedicated Catholic Christian!<\/p>\n<p>Now in undisputed possession of the Frankish throne, Charles directs his efforts against the enemies of his kingdom. His great goal is to reestablish the political unity that had existed in Europe before the invasions of the fifth century.<\/p>\n<p>He first launches a campaign against the fierce Saxons, who are threatening his frontiers. The Saxons are the last great pagan German nation. During the next three decades, Charles will wage 18 campaigns in his costly and bitter struggle against the stubborn Saxons. In 804 they will finally be Christianized at the point of the sword and incorporated into his empire.<\/p>\n<p>Charles also undertakes campaigns against the Bavarians, Avars, Slavs, Bretons, Arabs and numerous other peoples. During his long career, he will conduct 53 expeditions and war against 12 different nations! And in the process he will unite by conquest nearly all the lands of Western Europe into one political unit. (Stump K. THE HISTORY OF EUROPE &amp; THE CHURCH Part Four CHARLEMAGNE AND THE NEW EUROPE.

Charlemagne was at least partially Germanic as will be that Beast (cf. Isaiah 10:5-14; see also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/germany-in-prophecy.htm\">Germany in Biblical and Catholic Prophecy<\/a>). Despite the fact that early Christians were not militaristic (for details, see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/military.htm\">Military Service and the Churches of God: Do Real Christians Participate in Carnal Warfare or Encourage Violence?<\/a>), Charlemagne and Constantine were.<\/p>\n<p>Europe wants to be a united power. The murderous Charlemagne is one of its major heroes.<\/p>\n<p>The Bible says a European dictatorial leader will rise up with promises of peace:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"style18\">25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and <strong>he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many<\/strong>: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (Daniel 8:25, KJV).<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style18\"> 23 <strong>And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully<\/strong>, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. 24 <strong>He shall enter peaceably<\/strong>, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time. (Daniel 11:23-24, NKJV) <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Bible teaches that leader will actually be militaristic, despite the promises of peace (Revelation 13:1-4; Daniel 11:39-43).<\/p>\n<p>Europe is now working on its own independent military (see\u00a0<a title=\"Permanent Link to PESCO: The making of a European Defence Union\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/prophecy\/pesco-the-making-of-a-european-defence-union\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">PESCO: The making of a European Defence Union<\/a>\u00a0and <a title=\"Permanent Link to PESCO moving forward with technology\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/prophecy\/pesco-moving-forward-with-technology\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">PESCO moving forward with technology<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"style18\">Much in the past year in Europe, partially as a reaction to Brexit and Donald Trump, is pushing Europe towards a type of &#8216;Charlemagnian unity&#8217; that will not be good.<\/p>\n<p>That is real news.
