Polls indicate that a growing number of Germans believe that too many of the country\u2019s foreigners live in what are often referred to as \u201cparallel communities\u201d with little or no connection with German culture\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Though immigration has been a hot political topic in Germany for years, the latest debate began in August after the publication of a book by Bundesbank official Thilo Sarrazin in which he warned against the growing Islamization of Germany\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Horst Seehofer, the leader of the Christian Democrats Bavarian sister party, said Germany should consider cutting off immigration from Turkey and Arab countries altogether, an idea Ms. Merkel has opposed.<\/p>\n<p>The balancing act Ms. Merkel is trying to pull off by trying to appeal to both conservative and mainstream voters was apparent in her weekend speech. Even as she attacked multiculturalism, Ms. Merkel endorsed a recent speech Germany\u2019s president in which he said that Islam is \u201ca part of Germany.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424052702304250404575558583224907168.html?mod=googlenews_wsj\"> http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424052702304250404575558583224907168.html?mod=googlenews_wsj<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The German plan, that Angela Merkel later stated, is to eventually send many of the Muslims back.

The stage is being set for a more forceful German leader &#8230; to rise up and take this to the next level. &#8230; the Germans may follow the lead of others in Europe such as France that banned burqas, and Switzerland that banned the construction of Islamic minarets.

(Daniel 11:40-43)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Notice that the \u2018great prince of the North\u2019 is expected to subdue an Islamic Empire. Notice that the Bible teaches that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/kingofthenorth.htm\">\u2018king of the North<\/a>\u2018 will go into the Middle East and North Africa and eliminate the leader called the \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/south.htm\">king of the South<\/a>.\u2019 The lands of the \u2018king of the South\u2019 are currently Islamic. Perhaps it should be mentioned that Syria is expected to support the confederation of the king of the South (see also Ezekiel 30:2-8), though the time will come that its capital will be destroyed (Isaiah 17:1).<\/p>\n<p>Nations in Europe will decide that they must take more steps against the growing number of Islamic immigrants (see also <a dir=\"ltr\" title=\"War is Coming Between Europeans and Arabs\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UgfZ_x-QC9Y\" data-sessionlink=\"ved=CF0Qvxs&amp;ei=1ny1U9jQCYudqQPH74HwBQ&amp;feature=c4-feed-u\">War is Coming Between Europeans and Arabs<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The destruction of a coming Islamic confederation (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/caliphate.htm\">The Prophesied \u2018Islamic\u2019 Confederation<\/a> ) will be part of the result of what is happening in the Middle East and in the West.<\/p>\n<p>Although we need to rely on the Bible, and not \u2018private Catholic prophecies,\u2019 notice the way some of them mirror the Bible. This should give us pause to consider that some who claim Catholicism will point to them as part of their justification for actions they may take in the future.<\/p>\n<p>As I have been saying for a long time, it may well be that migrant issues will be one of the triggers to get Europe to ultimately reorganize as the Bible teaches it will in Revelation 17:12-13, Daniel 11:21-38, Daniel 2:41-43, and other passages.<\/p>\n<p>As I have written for years, Islamic migrants in Europe are an issue that more in Europe will decide to address. And we are seeing more of this.<\/p>\n<p>The actual war prophesied in the Bible between Europe and the Arabs, will not come until more than 3 1\/2 years after a \u2018peace deal\u2019 has been confirmed by a \u2018prince\u2019 (Daniel 9:26-27) who later will become the final King of the North (Daniel 11:31-44). This leader will be European, and will eventually destroy the nation with the strongest fortresses (Daniel 11:39), which in the 21st century would be the USA. He will proclaim peace and safety:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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><\/blockquote>\n<p>This leader will encourage proclamations of peace, yet sudden destruction will come (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:3). After destroying the USA, etc. (Daniel 11:39; see also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/usa-strongest-fortresses.htm\">USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses<\/a>), he will turn against a power in the Middle East and North Africa (Daniel 11:40-43).<\/p>\n<p>More in Europe are realizing that certain Islamic leaders and refugees present threats.<\/p>\n<p>The migrant situation is setting Europe up for civil unrest. Ultimately, war will come between the Europeans and the Arabs.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE 06\/10\/18: We just uploaded a new video on this subject.
