The German economy is in the news:<\/p>\n

November 24, 2020<\/p>\n

BERLIN (AP) \u2014 Business confidence in Germany, Europe\u2019s biggest economy, fell for a second consecutive month in November as a resurgence of coronavirus infections led to partial shutdowns across the continent, a closely watched survey showed Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Still, the decline was smaller than economists had predicted. And official data released separately on Tuesday showed that the economy performed a bit better in the third quarter than previously reported. https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/coronavirus-pandemic-business-confidence-germany-europe-economy-cea825db354b17af868fa7cd46bd0b5b<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

German remains the economic engine of Europe.<\/p>\n

Notice now the following, somewhat satirical, article:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

The Germans Are\u00a0Back!<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n
\n

Break out the Wagner, folks \u2026 the Germans are back! No, not the warm, fuzzy, pussified, peace-loving, post-war Germans \u2026 the Germans<\/em>! You know the ones I mean. The \u201cI didn\u2019t know where the trains were going\u201d Germans. The \u201cI was just following orders\u201d Germans. The other<\/em> Germans.<\/p>\n

Yeah \u2026 those<\/em> Germans.<\/p>\n

In case you missed it, on November 18, the German parliament passed a law, the so-called \u201cInfection Protection Act\u201d (\u201cDas Infektionsschutzgesetz\u201d in German) formally<\/em> granting the government the authority to issue whatever edicts it wants under the guise of protecting the public health<\/em>. The government has been doing this anyway \u2014 ordering lockdowns, curfews, travel bans, banning demonstrations, raiding homes and businesses, ordering everyone to wear medical masks, harassing and arresting dissidents, etc. \u2014 but now it has been \u201clegitimized\u201d by the Bundestag, enshrined into law, and presumably stamped with one of those intricate official stamps that German bureaucrats like to stamp things with.<\/p>\n

Now, this \u201cInfection Protection Act,\u201d which was rushed through the parliament, is not in any way comparable to the \u201cEnabling Act of 1933<\/a>,\u201d which formally granted the government the authority to issue whatever edicts it wanted under the guise of remedying the distress of the people<\/em>. Yes, I realize that sounds quite similar, but, according to the government and the German media, there is no absolutely equivalence whatsoever, and anyone who suggests there is is \u201ca far-right AfD extremist,\u201d …<\/p>\n

As the Protection Act was being legitimized (i.e., the current one, not the one in 1933), tens of thousands of anti-totalitarian protesters gathered in the streets, many of them carrying copies of the Grundgesetz (i.e., the constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany), which the parliament had just abrogated. They were met by thousands of riot police, who declared the demonstration \u201cillegal\u201d (because many of the protesters were not wearing masks), beat up and arrested hundreds of them<\/a>, and then hosed down the rest with water cannons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The German media \u2014 which are totally objective, and not at all like Goebbels\u2019 Ministry of Propaganda in the Nazi era \u2014 dutifully reminded the German public that these protesters were all \u201cCorona Deniers,\u201d \u201cfar-right extremists,\u201d \u201cconspiracy theorists,\u201d \u201canti-vaxxers,\u201d \u201cneo-Nazis,\u201d and so on, so they probably got what they deserved. Also, a spokesperson for the Berlin police (who bear absolutely no resemblance to the Gestapo, or the Stasi, or any other notorious official-ideology-enforcing goons) pointed out that their water cannons were only being used to \u201cirrigate\u201d the protesters (i.e., not being aimed directly at them) because there were so many \u201cCorona Denier\u201d children in their ranks. https:\/\/consentfactory.org\/2020\/11\/22\/the-germans-are-back\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Despite the satire, yes, there are connections. The powers in Germany are moving towards a time when even more totalitarian controls will be implemented. The \u201cInfection Protection Act\u201d (\u201cDas Infektionsschutzgesetz\u201d in German) is a step towards legalizing totalitarian and other restrictive actions.<\/p>\n

What has happened with the novel coronavirus is essentially paving the way for what is coming. Related to that, back in April, the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> put out the following sermon on its ContinuingCOG<\/a> channel:<\/p>\n

Fourth Horseman, COVID, and the Rise of the Beast of Revelation<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The 6th chapter of the Book of Revelation tells of the ride of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. What do each represent? Is the novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, part of the fourth horseman? Does the Bible point to around 2 billion people dying from hunger, war, and the beasts of the earth? Was the ancient Roman Empire impacted by pestilences? What about the black death, also known as the Bubonic plague? Are disease epidemics part of the beginning of sorrow and troubles that Jesus spoke about in Matthew 24 and Mark 13? Does the pale green horseman represent Islam? Could genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or synthetic biology cause or contribute to coming pandemics? Is chemical and biological warfare (CBW) a real threat to humanity? What about a doomsday bug or antibiotic resistant superbugs? Is fear a contagion that will help people move away from democracy? Will scientists be able to stop what is coming? Is the good news that the Kingdom of God will? Could COVID-19 be setting the stage for the rise of the \u2018prince,\u2019 who will become the totalitarian Beast of the Sea (also known as 666 and the King of the North)? Is this leader similar to the Great Monarch of Greco-Roman Catholic prophecies? When is the Great Monarch supposed to arise according to the Eastern Orthodox? Why might Europe be less affected by the ride of the third horseman that the US, Canada, and the UK? Are governments taking steps now, consistent with the words of Adolf Hitler? What seal represents the start of the Great Tribulation? Which Christians did Jesus promise to protect from the coming \u201chour of trial\u201d? <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here is a link to the sermon: Fourth Horseman, COVID, and the Rise of the Beast of Revelation.<\/a><\/p>\n

As far as the Germans being back, notice the following from the old Radio Church of God way back in 1964:<\/p>\n

The “German Problem” is not dead. Germans are thinking more than ever of an undivided Reich – and of an undivided Europe!<\/span> (Kelly R. The March for an Undivided Germany. <\/span>Plain Truth, September 1964)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Germany has since reunified and is pushing for a united Europe under its image.<\/p>\n

Now, some in Germany want more than that. They also want other territories that Germany ceded after WWI and WII back.<\/p>\n

A couple of months ago, Deutsche Welle<\/em> reported the following:<\/p>\n

\n

The Reichsb\u00fcrger movement in Germany<\/h2>\n

1 September 2020<\/p>\n

Reichsb\u00fcrger translates to “citizens of the Reich.” The nebulous movement rejects the modern German state, and insists that the German Empire\u2019s 1937 or 1871 borders still exist and today’s country is an administrative construct still occupied by Allied powers. For them the German government, parliament, judiciary, and the security agencies are puppets installed and controlled by foreigners. https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/the-reichsb%C3%BCrger-movement-in-germany\/g-41074914<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, various ones in Germany feel that they have been occupied by the Allied powers–basically meaning the USA. They want that to end and for Germany to rise up.<\/p>\n

The Reichsburger movement basically wants Germany to get its Weimar Republic borders and to stop non-Germanic immigrants from coming into Germany.<\/p>\n

The Reichsbuerger movement is not the only “right wing” movement that has seen growing support in Germany.<\/p>\n

The political party called AfD (which in English stands for “Alternative for Germany”) has made gains in Germany over the past few years.<\/p>\n

The reasons that German voters gave suggest that many in Germany want a strong leader to stand up against crime, terrorism, and Islam.<\/p>\n

Such a leader will come.<\/p>\n

The rise of the Reichsburger movement is consistent with that as well.<\/p>\n

We in the CCOG have always expected a reorganization in Germany, as well as elsewhere in Europe, of a power actually worse than Adolf Hitler.<\/p>\n

To most, Europe currently looks divided and unequal in various ways. Yet, the Bible prophesied that:<\/p>\n

41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter\u2019s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. (Daniel 2:41-43)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Bible is showing that there will be a unity problem with Europe. It will take a strong leader to make Europe\u2019s coming, temporary unity stronger.<\/p>\n

The Bible clearly shows that a reorganization will come to Europe and power will be given to a dictator:<\/p>\n

12 \u201cThe ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(More on the reorganization is discussed in the article: Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?)<\/a><\/p>\n

The Bible shows that the European beast<\/a> leader, also called the King of the North<\/a>, will arise promising peace.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

21 And in his place shall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue. 22 With the force of a flood they shall be swept away from before him and be broken, and also the prince of the covenant. 23 And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. (Daniel 11:21-23, NKJV)<\/p>\n

25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and 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<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

(To prove this leader will be European, please watch the video: Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European?<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Prior to Daniel 11:39-43, Europe will one day support a dictatorial strongman. The Bible calls him the Beast of the Sea (Revelation 13:1-10) and the King of the North<\/a> (Daniel 11:40).<\/p>\n

What about the view of some Worldwide Church of God writers that this dictatorial leader will be German?<\/p>\n

Well, people are starting to notice that Europe is already being dominated by Germany (see \u2018Undemocratic\u2019 European Union has become a German empire<\/a>).<\/p>\n

As far as the Germans go, consider the following article which also has some scriptures:<\/p>\n

Yes, “those Germans” will truly be back, all satire aside.<\/p>\n

This will NOT end well for the USA (Daniel 11:39), its British-descended allies (Isaiah 17:3; Daniel 8:24-25), and ultimately the Germans themselves:<\/p>\n

Notice the prophecies!
\n“O Asshur, the rod of Mine anger,” declares God. Here is a prophecy concerning Germany \u2014 the descendants of Asshur today! “The staff,” says God, “in their hand is Mine indignation. I will send him against an hypocritical nation (that is, Israel \u2014 America and Britain today), and… I will give him a charge to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets” (Isaiah 10:5-6). (Hill DJ. What Is GERMANY’S DESTINY?<\/span> Plain Truth, March 1962)<\/span><\/p>\n

… the modern nation of Germany is referred as ancient Assyria! (Please read our CCOG article “Germany’s Assyrian Roots Throughout History<\/a>,” explaining Assyria’s modern identity.)
\n“O Assyrian, the rod of MINE anger, and the staff in their hand is MINE indignation. I WILL SEND HIM against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath .. will I give him a charge (command), to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets” (Isa. 10:5, 6).
\nYes, God is going to take the nation of Germany at the head of a United Europe into his hand as a club to punish the nations of Israel for their rebellion against Him! “Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few” (vs. 7). Germany, those living in Germany, even the German government, may not yet know that they are going to join in a treaty with the Russians to destroy the United States and bring it to its knees \u2014 it is not in his “heart” to think so, but on the other hand it IS in his “heart” to destroy \u2014 the very characteristic of the Assyrian, the modern German, is a harsh, cruel, iron dedication to militarism. and destruction! This is just the kind of nation God needs to use as a rod in His hand to punish His people!…<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the face char it is God who will use Germany to destroy America, Germany must be destroyed as well for HER rebellion against God \u2014 “I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. For he saith, by the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent!” (Isa. 10:12, 13) <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The USA, itself, is becoming more and more of “an hypocritical nation.” It will be destroyed by a German-led force in what could be called World War III.<\/p>\n

The final Beast leader looks prophesied to be at least partially German. Furthermore, all the leaders of the old Holy Roman Empire were as well.<\/p>\n

Germans and other Europeans will get sufficiently frustrated with democracy (as well as will be deceived by various signs and lying wonders\u20132 Thessalonians 2:8-12) that they will support a dictatorial leader over Europe.<\/p>\n

While Germany has its own problems, its rise is demonstrating that Germans that it intends to lead Europe.<\/p>\n

We are getting closer and closer to WWIII.<\/p>\n
