Europe\u2019s summer tourism outlook dimmed by variants, rules<\/h2>\n

July 25, 2021<\/p>\n

\n

LONDON (AP) \u2014 Chaos and confusion over travel rules and measures to contain new virus outbreaks are contributing to another cruel summer for Europe\u2019s battered tourism industry.<\/p>\n

Popular destination countries are grappling with surging COVID-19 variants, but the patchwork and last-minute nature of the efforts as the peak season gets underway threatens to derail another summer.<\/p>\n

In France, the world\u2019s most visited country, visitors to cultural and tourist sites were confronted this week with a new requirement for a special COVID-19 pass.<\/p>\n

To get the pass, which comes in paper or digital form, people must prove they\u2019re either fully vaccinated or recently recovered from an infection, or produce a negative virus test. Use of the pass could extend next month to restaurants and cafes.<\/p>\n

Italy said Thursday that people will need a similar pass to access museums and movie theaters, dine inside restaurants and cafes, and get into pools, casinos and a range of other venues. …<\/p>\n

Europe\u2019s vital travel and tourism industry is desperate to make up after a disastrous 2020. International tourist arrivals to Europe last year plunged by nearly 70%, and for the first five months of this year, they\u2019re down 85%, according to U.N. World Tourism Organization figures. …<\/p>\n

International arrivals are forecast to remain at nearly half their 2019 level this year, though domestic demand will help make up the shortfall. …<\/p>\n

In Greece, where COVID-19 infections are also rising sharply, authorities have openly expressed concern that slowing vaccination rates could hurt the struggling tourism industry, a mainstay of the economy. Authorities have tightened restrictions for unvaccinated tourists and residents, banning their entry to all indoor dining and entertainment venues. https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/lifestyle-business-europe-travel-government-and-politics-9ede1a38b85057d7789be3bf5d313739<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And then there are protests from the Europeans themselves, as well as others:<\/p>\n

Thousands Around Globe Protest COVID-19 Shots, Lockdowns<\/h2>\n

July 24, 2021<\/p>\n

PARIS – Tens of thousands of people protested in Australia, France, Italy and Greece on Saturday, sparking clashes with police as they railed against COVID-19 measures and government sanctions against the unvaccinated aimed at prodding more people into getting their shots. …<\/p>\n

In France, where police deployed tear gas and a water cannon against some protesters, an estimated 160,000 took to the streets in nationwide protests against President Emmanuel Macron’s health pass that will drastically curtail access to restaurants and public spaces for unvaccinated people. …<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, around 5,000 people demonstrated in Athens, carrying placards touting slogans such as, “Don’t touch our children,” according to an AFP journalist at the scene.<\/p>\n

Thousands of people protested in at least 80 cities across Italy as Rome tries to slow an upturn in COVID-19 infections. Most were not wearing masks.<\/p>\n

The Green Pass, an extension of the EU’s digital COVID certificate, will be required starting Aug. 6 for anyone who wants to enter cinemas, museums, indoor swimming pools or sports stadiums, or eat indoors at restaurants.<\/p>\n

It will serve as proof bearers have either been vaccinated, undergone a recent negative COVID-19 test, or recovered from a coronavirus infection.<\/p>\n

The decision Thursday to make the pass mandatory for many activities saw a boom in vaccine bookings, up 200% in Italy’s smaller regions, according to COVID-19 emergency chief Francesco Figliuolo. https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/covid-19-pandemic\/thousands-around-globe-protest-covid-19-shots-lockdowns<\/a><\/p>\n

France Faces an Existential Crisis<\/h2>\n

Once hailed the future of the Fifth Republic for he promised to reform France\u2019s stalling economy and reclaim some of the nation\u2019s long lost \u2018shine\u2019, French President Emmanuel Macron is now being compared to the notorious Marechal Petain \u2013 the man who sold France to the Nazis back in the late 1930s. Some protesters to his new \u2018pandemic rules\u2019 have gone as far as to compare him to Adolf Hitler himself, a clear sign of the President\u2019s fall from grace. A dark chapter in France\u2019s history, WW2 still rings with shame and disgrace across the nation. …<\/p>\n

In true French fashion and in a move which has cut across political demographics, protesters took to the streets of cities throughout the country, united in their rejection of what they perceive as an existential crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not arguing the vaccine, we are arguing our right to choose and the government\u2019s constitutional duty NOT to discriminate against its own people on account of the pandemic,\u201d<\/em> said Laurence, a protester in Toulouse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Paris, one demonstrator\u2019s blouse read \u201cNo to compulsory vaccination, freedom violated!\u201d, while another\u2019s placard said: \u201cMacron, no to the health dictatorship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dangling the proverbial financial carrott, Macron is promising that the road to recovery runs through a vaccination centre. https:\/\/journal-neo.org\/2021\/07\/23\/france-faces-an-existential-crisis\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Expect more civil unrest and protests in Europe. Yes, I have posted that for years, but much more is expected,.<\/p>\n

COVID policies have hurt the economies of perhaps all the nations of the world.<\/p>\n

Economic problems affect individuals, governments, and even banks.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the late Pastor General of the old Worldwide Church of God, Herbert W. Armstrong<\/a><\/span>, had a view about banking matters and European unity. Here is something he said in a sermon on July 7, 1984:<\/p>\n

And I can see now, the event that is going to trigger the formation of the reunification in Europe<\/strong>; the resurrection of the medieval Holy Roman Empire that we\u2019ve been looking forward to that is prophesied to come\u2026<\/p>\n

But I believe that some event is going to happen suddenly just like out a blue sky that is going to shock the whole world and is going to cause the nations in Europe to realize they must unite! \u2026 Well now I think I can see what may be the very event that is going to trigger\u2026that is the economic situation in the world<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n

The whole banking structure in the United States is a network all jointed together. But not only that, one nation has to deal with other nations and imports and exports. And so they have to have a means of transforming money from one nation to another. And so the banking structure is international and interwoven\u2026<\/p>\n

Now when the financial structure breaks down, all civilization is going to break down\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, an economic or banking crisis is what Herbert W. Armstrong<\/a><\/span> concluded would drive Europe to unite.<\/p>\n

The long-term impacts of COVID may well be a factor in leading to such a banking crisis.<\/p>\n

And yes, I agree with Herbert W. Armstrong<\/a><\/span> that it will take some type of crisis for Europe to reorganize.<\/p>\n

A major reorganization is prophesied to happen and push Europe under totalitarian control:<\/p>\n

12 \u201cThe ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet<\/strong>, 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

COVID-related issues have also shown that totalitarian steps can be implemented.<\/p>\n

Related to COVID and the end of the world as we know it, the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> (CCOG) put together the following video for our Bible News Prophecy<\/a> program:<\/p>\n

COVID 19 is NOT the End, but could it be TEOTWAWKI?<\/a><\/h3>\n

The novel coronavirus called COVID-19 is wreaking havoc around the world. Many states of the USA as well as countries in Europe are on lockdown with shelter in place \/shelter in residence requirements. In France, a form is required when you are not at your house. In Spain, drones are being used to warn people who are outside to got back to their homes\u2013does that bring up feelings of \u2018Big Brother\u2019? Italy, France, and other areas are using police and\/or military force to encourage people to stay inside. According to the Bible could this be the end? If not, what has to happen first? Have the second and third of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse started their ride? Could COVID-19 be the fourth horseman? Why or why not? Could we be seeing The End of the World as We Know It (TEOTWAWKI) like the R.E.M.\u2019s 1987 single song discussed? Do Christians need to fear? What did Jesus teach? What did the Psalmist teach?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Corona 19 no es el final PERO es el TEOTWAWKI<\/a><\/h3>\n

El nuevo coronavirus llamado COVID-19 est\u00e1 causando estragos en todo el mundo. Muchos estados de los EE. UU., As\u00ed como pa\u00edses de Europa est\u00e1n bajo llave con refugio en el lugar \/ refugio en los requisitos de residencia. En Francia, se requiere un formulario cuando no est\u00e1 en su casa. En Espa\u00f1a, los drones se utilizan para advertir a las personas que est\u00e1n afuera que regresen a sus hogares, \u00bfeso trae sentimientos de \u2018Gran Hermano\u2019? Italia, Francia y otras \u00e1reas est\u00e1n utilizando la fuerza policial y \/ o militar para alentar a las personas a quedarse adentro. Seg\u00fan la Biblia, \u00bfpodr\u00eda ser este el fin? Si no, \u00bfqu\u00e9 tiene que pasar primero? \u00bfHan comenzado a cabalgar el segundo y el tercero de los cuatro jinetes del Apocalipsis? \u00bfPodr\u00eda COVID-19 ser el cuarto jinete? \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 o por qu\u00e9 no? \u00bfPodr\u00edamos estar viendo El fin del mundo como lo conocemos (TEOTWAWKI) como la canci\u00f3n individual de 1987 de R.E.M. discutida? \u00bfLos cristianos deben temer? \u00bfQu\u00e9 ense\u00f1\u00f3 Jes\u00fas? \u00bfQu\u00e9 ense\u00f1\u00f3 el salmista?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

COVID restrictions have caused, and continue to cause, economic problems.<\/p>\n

A crisis will occur that is strong enough for Europe to reorganize and fulfill numerous biblical prophecies.<\/p>\n

The current protests and travel issues are small steps that is pushing Europe in that direction.<\/p>\n

The world we have known has changed and is changing.<\/p>\n

The Great Tribulation will be here fairly soon–most likely no later that 2028 if not a year or two earlier.<\/p>\n

\nCOVID-19 Leading to 666?<\/a> The novel coronavirus of Wuhan, China fame, is now called COVID-19. It has also been called the \u2018Coronapocalypse.\u2019 Does COVID-19 have any prophetic ramifications? What did Jesus teach about pestilences and sorrows in the Olivet prophecy in Matthew 24? Could COVID-19 be the ride of the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse? Why was this type of disease expected according to the O.

What has the CDC reported about the flu? Were there lessons about fear and infections in the 2011 movie \u2018Contagion\u2019? Because of COVID-19, the World Health Organization (WHO), nation of Iran, and certain French locations are telling people not to use cash, but instead electronic forms of payment. The US Federal Reserve is now quarantining money repatriated from Asia to reduce the potential spread of the coronavirus on US currency bills. Is COVID-19 worse than we have been told or could this all be a \u2018false flag\u2019 event to encourage people to move towards a cashless society? If the thousands of deaths associated with COVID-19 are pushing parts of the world towards cashlessness, how much more likely will the ride of the fourth horseman and over a billion human deaths motivate people to move to making electronic payments that can be monitored? The Bible tells of a soon coming society that controls buying and selling to force allegiance to a coming European Beast power, known as 666 (Revelation 13:16-18). Does the \u2018great tribulation\u2019 begin before ride of the fourth horseman or with the opening of the fifth seal of Revelation 6? Do the words of Jesus helps us better understand the sequence of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse and the start of the Great Tribulation? Will the ride of the fourth horseman help lead to the rise of 666? Is that ride very close? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video. Here is a link to a version in the Spanish language: El COVID-19 \u00bfConduce al 666?<\/a>
\nWhen Will the Great Tribulation Begin? 2021, 2022, or 2023?<\/a> Can the Great Tribulation begin today? What happens before the Great Tribulation in the “beginning of sorrows”? What happens in the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord? Is this the time of the Gentiles? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord? Who are the 144,000? Here is a version of the article in the Spanish language: \u00bfPuede la Gran Tribulaci\u00f3n comenzar en el 2020 o 2021? \u00bfEs el Tiempo de los Gentiles?<\/a> A related video is: Great Tribulation: 2026 or 2027?<\/a> Here is a video in the Spanish language: Es El 2021 el a\u00f1o\u00a0 de La Gran Tribulaci\u00f3n o el Grande Reseteo Financiero<\/a>.
\nIs a Great Reset Coming?<\/a> Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum has proposed a societal change that has been basically endorsed by the Vatican and many world leaders. Does the Bible prophesy a major reset? Here is a link to a related video: Will there be a “Great Reset”?<\/a>
\nThe Times of the Gentiles<\/a> Has there been more than one time of the Gentiles? Are we in it now or in the time of Anglo-America? What will the final time of the Gentiles be like? A related sermon is available and is titled: The Times of the Gentiles<\/a>.
