Germany proposes joint European air defense system<\/h2>\n

August 29, 2022<\/p>\n

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz …<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a lot of catching up to do in Europe when it comes to defense against airborne and space-based threats. That is why we in Germany will be investing very significantly in our air defense over the years ahead,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Scholz said in a speech at Charles University in Prague on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time, Germany will from the very start design future air defense in a way that our European neighbors can be involved in, if [they] desire,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he added.<\/p>\n

The chancellor stated that maintaining a joint air defense shield would be\u00a0\u201cmore efficient and cost effective\u201d<\/em> than if each European country continued to develop its own defense solutions. …<\/p>\n

In the past, EU leaders have called for joint defense efforts in order to make the bloc more resilient. In 2018, French President Emmanuel Macron and former German chancellor Angela Merkel proposed creating a\u00a0\u201creal\u201d<\/em> European army that would supplement NATO. https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/561740-germany-joint-air-defense\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Germany wants EU to cancel national vetoes<\/h2>\n

August 29, 2022<\/p>\n

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Monday called on EU members to abandon the right to veto in favor of majority voting in a number of key areas. Such a move could facilitate the bloc\u2019s future expansion.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Charles University in Prague, Scholz argued that changing voting practices may help to grow the EU, given that currently any bloc member can veto the accession of a candidate country. He also suggested introducing majority voting on a number of pressing matters, including sanctions and human rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere unanimity is required today, the risk of an individual country using its veto and preventing all the others from forging ahead increases with each additional member state<\/em>,\u201d the German chancellor said. https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/561744-eu-veto-scholz-voting\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The above is not a surprise.<\/p>\n

Biblically, we know Europe will end up with a “great army” (Daniel 11:25) and many ships (Daniel 11:40)–and perhaps some of those ships will be air ships.<\/p>\n

Biblically, we also know that Europe will reorganize (Revelation 17:12) to become a dictatorship ruled by one the Bible calls the Beast (Revelation 17:13).<\/p>\n

What Olaf Scholz has proposed is not that–yet, major reorganization in Europe will happen.<\/p>\n

Chancellor Scholz has called for the Balkans to be in the EU (see Scholz pushing for the Balkans to be in the European Union<\/a>)–and making EU expansion is one of the reasons he has proposed changing the rules.<\/p>\n

As far as some of Olaf Scholz’s other stated plans, last month German-Foreign-Policy.com<\/em> posted the following:<\/p>\n

Germany as Leading Power<\/a><\/h3>\n

19 July 2022<\/p>\n

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz wants the EU to play a \u201cgeopolitical role.\u201d<\/h4>\n

BERLIN\/BRUSSELS<\/span> (Own report) \u2013 The EU should play a \u201cgeopolitical role\u201d and therefore \u201cclose ranks\u201d and step up its militarization, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz demands in an op-ed published in the Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung. He promises \u201cconcrete proposals\u201d in the next few months and is already demanding the abolition of the right to veto on foreign policy issues, which enables smaller states to protect their vital interests against the pressure of the powerful member states. A similar view was recently expressed by SPD Chair Lars Klingbeil. \u201cAfter nearly 80 years\u201d of alleged \u201crestraint,\u201d Germany should claim \u201cthe role of a leading power,\u201d the SPD-Chair demanded. This would \u201crequire tough decisions by Berlin.\u201d Klingbeil also called for massive rearmament of the Bundeswehr. Scholz and Klingbeil are worried because the developing and emerging countries are refusing, to a growing extent, to follow the old West and are pursuing their own independent policy. …<\/p>\n

The Language of Power<\/h3>\n

By demanding that the EU \u201cplay a geopolitical role,\u201d[1] Chancellor Olaf Scholz is reiterating similar statements leading German politicians have made in previous years. In 2017, Foreign Minister at the time, Sigmar Gabriel, complained that the EU is not yet \u201ca real factor in the world\u201d and that it lacks \u201cpower projection.\u201d It is, therefore, all the more \u201curgent\u201d that Europe \u201cdefines its own interests and projects its power.\u201d[2] If a \u201cpolitico-strategic way of thinking\u201d were to take hold in Berlin and Brussels in the future, the \u201cjousting for power\u201d will begin, \u201cwhich will not be pleasant,\u201d according to Gabriel. In February 2018, the Minister reiterated that the EU needs to project its power in the world \u2013 on military level, as well. \u201cIn a world full of carnivores, vegetarians have a very tough time of it.\u201d[3] In November 2019, designated EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen chimed in. On the one hand, \u201cthis means building our own muscles in security policy.\u201d On the other, the Union must become \u201cmore strategic, in light of Europe\u2019s external interests.\u201d \u201cEurope must learn the language of power,\u201d declared von der Leyen.[4]<\/p>\n

Close Ranks<\/h3>\n

To finally have the EU play a \u201cgeopolitical role\u201d Chancellor Scholz calls for political \u201ccohesiveness.\u201d \u201cPermanent disunity, permanent dissent among the member countries weaken us.\u201d Therefore, there must be \u201can end to the egotistical blockages by individual countries of European decisions.\u201d https:\/\/www.german-foreign-policy.com\/en\/news\/detail\/8981<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Olaf Scholz has, on a couple of recent occasions, basically called for Europe to reorganize. The Bible shows that it will in Revelation 17:12-13:<\/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.\u00a0 (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

As far as the military goes, Olaf Scholz has pledged to spend more than any country, other than the USA (and perhaps China). Related to that, the Continuing<\/em>\u00a0Church of God<\/a> (CCOG) put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy<\/a> YouTube channel::<\/p>\n

Is the European Beast Growing Horns?<\/a><\/h3>\n

Does the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have prophetic ramifications? What about Ezekiel 38? Are we seeing a \u2018historic shift\u2019 in Europe to move towards more unity? What about non-EU nations like Sweden and Switzerland? Is Germany\u2019s announcement to double its military spending to 100 million euros a big deal? Does the Bible tell of changes coming to Europe for it to rise up as a Babylonian unity successful military power? What about the United States of America and its British-descended allies? Could USA sanctions against Russia, including SWIFT restrictions, decrease international demand for USA dollars and cause inflation? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A Secure Europe Needs Greater German Defense Efforts<\/b><\/h2>\n

The United States cannot handle all of the world\u2019s potential conflicts on its own, and certainly not simultaneously. It should concentrate on Asia and enable Europe to bolster its own defenses against the threat from Russia. And it is Germany that has to play the central role.<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Elbridge Colby<\/a><\/p>\n

CURRENT ISSUE<\/h3>\n

Summer 2022 Issue: Europe\u2019s Watershed Moment …<\/a><\/h3>\n

The basic upshot is that the United States does not have the power to handle China in Asia while also maintaining such a dominant military position in other theaters, particularly Europe and the Middle East. The clear consequence of this is that there is and will be a deficit of American military power somewhere. And this will leave vulnerabilities\u2014vulnerabilities which countries like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea may very well seek to exploit.<\/span><\/p>\n

So how should the United States and its allies handle this divergence between America\u2019s military capacity on the one hand and the challenges to the alliance network on the other? …
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Germany\u2019<\/span>s Contribution Is Central<\/h3>\n

In this context, a cohesive and effective defense of NATO would benefit greatly from a single actor taking a leading role in this effort. The only plausible candidate in Europe for this role today is Germany. Germany alone has the population, economic scale and sophistication, political relations, and geographic position at the center of Europe to play this leading role.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this model, Berlin would tightly focus on rapidly fielding the capable ground, tactical air, and logistics forces sized and shaped for a defense of Eastern NATO and Scandinavia, using the defense of the Baltics, Poland, and Finland as planning scenarios. This core German force would enable other states, such as the United Kingdom, France, Poland, and the Scandinavian countries, to complement or even integrate their forces into an effective whole. Such a conventional military would be well within Germany\u2019s capacity to build, given the country\u2019s economic strength, and also its proud postwar traditions as part of an integrated NATO collective defense. And while Germany would muster these forces, they would fall within the rubric of allied collective defense, relieving concerns about a rearmed Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, Berlin seems to have already taken a major step in this direction with its \u201cZeitenwende<\/em>\u201d commitments, including the new \u20ac100 billion fund to beef up its military capability, which should enable Germany to being pursuing this course.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\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

As far as Germany leading Europe, last month the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> (CCOG) put together the following Bible News Prophecy<\/em> video on our Bible News Prophecy<\/a> YouTube channel, the audio portion of which was sent for broadcast on the European Gospel Radio<\/em> station AM 1323 kHz for Monday 25 July 2022 at 21:30-21:45 (9:30-9:45 PM) European Central Time:<\/p>\n

Germany wants to lead a united Europe<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Various leaders in German have pointed to a more unified, militaristic, and German-led Europe. After Russia’s ‘special military operation’ into Ukraine, Germany declared it would increase its military spending to the third highest level of any nation on the planet? German-Foreign-Policy.com reported that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz wants the European Union to play a powerful and more unified geopolitical role. Does what he is stating consistent with prophecies in the Book of Revelation about Europe reorganizing and turning power over to one called the Beast? Are some in Poland and Hungary (like Peter G. Feher) concerned about the domination of Europe by Germany? Is a European\/German leader prophesied as the “King of the North” to make some type of a deal with a leader of nations in the Middle East and North Africa called the “King of the South”? Is that King of the North prophesied to have a great army and many ships? Could the Beast\/King of the North be German? Did the old Worldwide Church of God warn back in 1980 that, in the future, the German people be concerned enough about Russia that it would call for a Bavarian strongman to lead them? Does the Bible point to such a leader rising promising peace? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel address those issues. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here is a link to our video: Germany wants to lead a united Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Germans and other Europeans will get sufficiently frustrated with democracy that (along with pushing coming from the Vatican) they will support a dictatorial leader over Europe.<\/p>\n
