There is no single obvious successor, but several potential contenders.<\/p>\n<p>The current parliamentary term is due to expire in 2021, and the dpa news agency reported that Merkel said she won&#8217;t seek re-election.<\/p>\n<p>She currently governs Germany in a &#8220;grand coalition&#8221; of what traditionally have been the country&#8217;s biggest parties \u2014 the CDU, Bavaria&#8217;s conservative Christian Social Union, and the center-left Social Democrats. Her fourth-term government took office only in March but has become notorious for squabbling.<\/p>\n<p>An election Sunday in the central state of Hesse saw both the CDU and the Social Democrats lose significant ground amid gains for both the Green party and the far-right Alternative for Germany party. Merkel&#8217;s party managed an unimpressive win, narrowly salvaging a majority for its regional governing coalition with the Greens in Hesse.<\/p>\n<p>The debacle followed a battering in a state election in Bavaria two weeks ago for the CSU and the Social Democrats. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/merkel-ready-to-step-down-as-party-leader\/4633303.html\">https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/merkel-ready-to-step-down-as-party-leader\/4633303.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is not unexpected.<\/p>\n<p>But notice the following related to this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>October 29, 2018<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re all aware next year will be challenging in terms of the EU agenda if there is a populist sweep in the European parliamentary elections next year, plus a new head of the ECB. It certainly won\u2019t help if Germany is distracted in fractious coalition, the end of the Merkel era and a succession struggle &#8211; which is exactly what we\u2019re likely to get.<\/p>\n<p>Peak Merkel was a long-time ago. While Germany is navel-gazing, she\u2019s become an increasing irrelevance to the European narrative, disconnected from the closer union\/harmonisation agenda, disengaged from the looming clash with Italy, and mired in the potential of a collapsing coalition. Like all political lives hers is headed for failure.<\/p>\n<p>The elections in Hesse saw voter support for CDU coalition with the SPD fracture. Its more than the votes going to anti-Merkel parties. Its an example of populism in action as the Greens benefit as a function of the anti-AfD vote. (The AfD are the far-right extremists everyone detests, (except for the millions of Germans who vote for them.))<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the end-game? The CDU could well dump Merkel sooner rather than later, reinvent and rebrand itself to form a new stronger coalition &#8211; hoping disassociation with Merkel is attractive. That\u2019s bound to mean a sustained period of domestic focus in Germany \u2013 at a time when Europe faces enormous challenge from populism, Italy, and Brexit.<\/p>\n<p>In France it feels like Peak-Macron has also past. The gilded President now looks tarnished. His vision for a European harmonisation looks rather hollow without Merkel\u2019s support. Maybe one of Merkel\u2019s successors will take up the cause, but they better do so quickly because Macron\u2019s En-Marche looks increasingly short-lived\u2026 Good luck saving the Euro on yer own mate.. (Macron did recently say he was the only person who could do so\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t underestimate the instability the passing of the Not-Quite Iron Chancellor will engender. <a href=\"https:\/\/morningporridge.com\/the-morning-porridge\/f\/blains-morning-porridge---29-oct-2018\">https:\/\/morningporridge.com\/the-morning-porridge\/f\/blains-morning-porridge&#8212;29-oct-2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, I do not believe that I have underestimated what the passing of Angela Merkel&#8217;s leadership will lead to. Notice something I posted about this back in January of this year:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Many Germans are not pleased with the result of Angela Merkel\u2019s immigration policies, and this has affected her ability to put together a ruling coalition\u2013as has her own governing style with previous coalition leaders.<\/p>\n<p>So, what will happen?<\/p>\n<p>Well, for the time being, something will work out\u2013either via a soon coalition or something after another election.<\/p>\n<p>But the time will come when Germany and other nations in Europe will turn from claimed democracy to dictatorship.<\/p>\n<p>Notice something from a Roman Catholic source:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Rudolph Gekner<\/em> (died 1675). \u201cA great prince of the North with a most powerful army will traverse all Europe, uproot all republics, and exterminate all rebels. His sword moved by Divine power will most valiantly defend the Church of Jesus Christ. He will combat on behalf of the true orthodox faith, and shall subdue to his dominion the Mahometan Empire. A new pastor of the universal church will come from the shore (of Dalmatia) through a celestial prodigy, and in simplicity of heart adorned with the doctrines of Jesus Christ. Peace will come to the world.\u201d (Cited in Connor, Edward. Prophecy for Today. Imprimatur + A.J. Willinger, Bishop of Monterey-Fresno; Reprint: Tan Books and Publishers, Rockford (IL), 1984, p.36).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The above leader sounds a lot like a European leader that the Bible says will arise.<\/p>\n<p>The Bible also teaches that the coming European Beast empire will have religious connections:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, \u201cWho is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Revelation 13:3-8)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Interestingly, a Roman Catholic writing indicates that this Beast will rise up after Europe is lax in religion:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Jeanne le Royer <\/em>(Sister of the Nativity). \u201cI saw in the light of the Lord that the faith and our holy Religion would become weaker in almost every Christian kingdom. God has permitted that they should be Chastised by the wicked in order to awaken them from their apathy. And after the justice of God has been satisfied, He will pour out an abundance of graces on His Church, and He will spread the Faith and restore the discipline of the Church in those countries where it had become tepid and lax. (Dupont, pp.55-56)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And, of course, by and large, Europe is considered mostly secular and irreligious. Apathy is rampant towards the Church of Rome in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Now, getting back to Revelation 13, some have suggested that it contains references to the old Holy Roman Empire. To most, this appears to have died to never be revived again. Yet, Catholic writings also expect to see its reemergence:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Several private prophecies of canonized Saints specifically state that there will be a latter <em>restoration<\/em> of the Holy Roman Empire and that there will be at least one last Holy Roman Emperor. The authenticity of the authorship of such prophecies of canonized Saints (e.g., St. Hildegard, St. Vincent Ferrer, St. Francis of Paula, and St. John Vianney) at least over the last eight hundred years is scholastically unquestionable. (Birch, D. p.281)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Notice some items from the old Radio\/Worldwide Church of God that were published decades ago (<strong>bolding<\/strong> mine):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Watch the emergence of a strong man in West Germany (Hogberg G and Walter EM. <span class=\"font_title4\">NATO at the Crossroads. Plain Truth, May 1969)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The attempt to unify Europe as one economic, military and political power bloc restoring the \u201cHoly Roman Empire,\u201d has been the one aim of all the \u201cgreat\u201d men who dominated European history<\/strong> from Napoleon\u2019s \u201cWaterloo\u201d until now. Mussolini, dominating Eritrea, Italian Somaliland, Libya, and conquering Ethiopia, did officially name his weak \u201cEmpire\u201d the \u201cRoman Empire.\u201d But now the dream of a mighty, powerful, resurrected Roman Empire at last is becoming a hard-driving reality.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 nations of United Europe have succeeded in their aim far beyond the wildest dreams of the original signers of the Treaty of Rome. In far less time, at a far greater pace than anticipated, these nations of Europe have risen from the economic chaos of World War II to the dizzying heights of a standard of living never known to them before! With the present success well beyond the proportions of that expected three years ago, with a future success \u2014 in a world of peace \u2014 sure to produce a near \u2014 utopia, Western Europe is more concerned about war than any other economic and political entity on the face of this earth! \u201cThis is very probably the last year in which anyone except Europe will be able to negotiate with the Soviet Union for Europe!\u201d (London Sunday Times). These nations are ENJOYING their economic recovery and they will let nothing stand in its way \u2014 they will stop at nothing to keep \u2018What they have, and, GO ON TO MORE! SO it is that a blueprint has been drawn up by the Six, that demands meetings among themselves to decide the MILITARY AND FOREIGN POLICY questions that come up regarding Europe! \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFascism in Europe is about to be reborn in respectable business attire, and the Treaty of Rome will finally be implemented to its fullest extent.. <strong>the dream of a Holy Roman, Empire returning to power to dominate and direct the so-called forces of Christian mankind of the Western world is not dead, but still stalks through the antechambers of every national capital of continental Western Europe<\/strong>\u2026 IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE LEADERS IN THE COMMON MARKET NATIONS TO RESTORE THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE WITH ALL THAT THAT MEANS!\u201d (Northwest Technocrat, Vol. XXV, No. 205.) United within the ancient boundaries of the Holy Roman Empire; united by the common spiritual bond of universal Catholicism; united in a burgeoning and booming industrial economy that dominates today\u2019s world; united geographically in the most productive and industrial complex of all the earth \u2014 at least TEN NATIONS OF MODERN EUROPE WILL MARCH ONTO THE SCENE OF WORLD HISTORY AS THE GREATEST SINGLE HUMAN FORCE EVER SEEN BY MAN! (Hill DJ. What is Germany\u2019s Destiny? Plain Truth, March 1962)<\/p>\n<p>The prophecy of Daniel 11 details events \u2014 at that time, still future \u2014 from the remaining days of the Medo-Persian empire, through the reign of Alexander the Great and his successors in Syria and Egypt, and on through to the second coming of Christ! Beginning in verse 40 we read of a conflict between two great powers: \u201cAnd at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is an important \u201cend-time\u201d prophecy. Following the chronological progression of the chapter, it becomes apparent that the phrase \u201cking of the north\u201d had at first referred to Syria under the Seleucid dynasty, and later, in the New Testament times, to the Emperor of the Roman Empire. \u2026 Thus,<strong> in its final end-time application, the \u201cking of the north\u201d is the prophesied strong man who will lead a coming<\/strong> union of ten European nations \u2014 the seventh and <strong>final revival of the ancient Roman Empire<\/strong> prophesied by Daniel and in the book of Revelation (see Revelation 17:12-13).<\/p>\n<p>But who is the \u201cking of the south\u201d? In the earlier portions of Daniel 11, the phrase refers without question to ancient Egypt under the rule of the Ptolemaic dynasty, later including Ethiopia which was annexed to Egypt. But in verse 40 we skip to \u201cthe time of the end\u201d \u2026 Its greater fulfillment is yet future! Just as there is yet to be a final \u201cking of the north\u201d \u2014 called in Bible symbolism \u201cthe beast\u201d \u2014 who will arise as superdictator over an end-time European confederation, there may very well emerge in the same manner a final \u201cking of the south\u201d \u2014 an overall leader of an Arab-Moslem confederation, possibly even bearing the very title Mahdi! And these two individuals will eventually find themselves in a head-to-head confrontation \u2014 possibly over oil \u2014 which will ultimately lead to devastating war in the Middle East!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_font_teaser\">King David of ancient Israel, in a prophetic psalm (Psalm 83) provides additional insight into the coming Mideast picture. Germany (Assyria in Bible prophecy) and perhaps the rest of Europe will be in league in the future with a union of Arab nations \u2014 a vast confederacy bound together in an effort to crush out the name \u201cIsrael\u201d from the face of the earth! This Arab-Moslem confederacy may very well be the previously mentioned \u201cking of the south\u201d of Daniel 11 \u2014 a sphere of power encompassing vast portions of the Islamic world. \u2026<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_font_teaser\">But in the end, this European-Arab alliance will prove short-lived. As shown earlier, the \u201cking of the north\u201d of Daniel 11 \u2014 the leader of the German-led European union \u2014 will ultimately turn against the Arab \u201cking of the south,\u201d with disastrous consequences for the entire Middle East \u2014 both Jew and Arab alike. The entire region will be subjected to armed invasion! \u2026<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_font_teaser\">The Arab-Moslem Confederation will, of course, be thrown into chaotic disarray in the face of invasion. Some of its component countries will be directly occupied by European troops. However, as revealed in Daniel 11:41, Jordan (the present-day descendants of Moab and Ammon) and Turkey (Edom) will escape occupation. Other Arab countries may also avoid full occupation, possibly remaining in some sort of limited alliance with United Europe. \u201cLibya\u201d (or Put, the North African Arabs) along with \u201d Ethiopia\u201d (or Cush, certain black African nations) shall be \u201cat his [the king of the north\u2019s] steps\u201d \u2014 or \u201cfollowing him\u201d as some translations render it.
