Notice a report about that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>August 25, 2022<\/p>\n<p>The EU has set a comprehensive plan to achieve its goals under the Paris Agreement, committing to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Overcoming cost-related barriers will have to be achieved through learning-by-searching (i.e., the development of cutting-edge technological solutions), learning-by-doing (i.e., cost reductions associated with scaling production and technology development), and other innovation processes that can significantly reduce costs and guarantee comparability in terms of economic viability. For this reason, we must broaden and enhance innovation policies that support the uptake of low-carbon technology, with the ultimate goal of allowing comprehensive climate policy to drive technology deployment.<\/p>\n<p>In order to bridge this commercialisation gap, a variety of policy options are currently being put forward: the EU taxonomy, Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the revision of state aid guidelines for energy and climate and the EU Energy Taxation Directive, as well as green public procurement or carbon price floors. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catf.us\/2022\/08\/why-carbon-contracts-difference-could-policy-measure-europe-needs-decarbonise-industry\/\">https:\/\/www.catf.us\/2022\/08\/why-carbon-contracts-difference-could-policy-measure-europe-needs-decarbonise-industry\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In July 2021, the European Commission did something that no other major governing body had ever attempted: It tied trade policy to climate policy. Reaching the European Union\u2019s goal of cutting net greenhouse-gas emissions by 55% by 2030 will require the EU to reduce emissions both at home and beyond its borders. To this end, the Commission\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.consilium.europa.eu\/en\/policies\/green-deal\/eu-plan-for-a-green-transition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fit for 55 initiative<\/a>, a package of proposals aimed at meeting the bloc\u2019s emissions-reduction target, includes a carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) \u2013 an import tax designed to corral other countries into tackling climate change.<\/p>\n<p data-line-id=\"e9e61ecdda844084bd69f855234c8a19\">The CBAM would tax imported goods sold in EU markets on the basis of their carbon content (the emissions required to produce them), which depends on their material and energy inputs. The proposed levy is intended to address so-called carbon leakage, which occurs when businesses in the EU move production to non-member countries with less stringent emissions rules.<button class=\"comment__caller icon-box icon-box--v \" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-label=\"Paragraph comment\" aria-controls=\"login_register\" aria-haspopup=\"true\"><\/button><\/p>\n<p data-line-id=\"5ad8f14138984913a77b0b88184d8998\">In other words, Europe would no longer ignore the climate effects of foreign goods. But while the measure could help to reduce emissions and level the competitive playing field for EU-based firms, the trade protectionism that it entails risks hurting developing countries.<button class=\"comment__caller icon-box icon-box--v \" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-label=\"Paragraph comment\" aria-controls=\"login_register\" aria-haspopup=\"true\"><\/button><\/p>\n<p data-line-id=\"e9dd4ad900c14219ad058dae57519783\">The CBAM will initially apply to the highest-emitting industries most at risk of leakage \u2013 iron and steel, cement, fertilizers, aluminum, and electricity generation \u2013 and will likely be expanded to other sectors in the coming years. Currently, EU-made products in these industries are taxed under the domestic carbon price, but those from outside the bloc are not. If a country already has a domestic carbon price, the border tax will be lowered or waived; this is meant to encourage countries to tax carbon in their own markets. Those that cannot or will not institute a carbon tax will have to pay the full levy.<button class=\"comment__caller icon-box icon-box--v \" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-label=\"Paragraph comment\" aria-controls=\"login_register\" aria-haspopup=\"true\"><\/button><\/p>\n<p data-line-id=\"e97315ee22674efe9555208ca106dea8\">The EU tax will be phased in over the next four years.

Armstrong<\/a> stated (and the next month he printed it) that Daniel 11:21 had future application:<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>In Daniel 11:21, referring in original, typical fulfillment to Antiochus Epiphanes, there shall stand up a vile person \u2026 So once again before the second coming of Christ, a vile leader will stop the daily sacrifices being offered \u2026 This same prophecy spoken by Jesus is also reported by Luke\u202621:20-24 (Armstrong HW. Personal, Plain Truth magazine, June 1967).<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>Now, let&#8217;s see that the Bible teaches that before the final <a href=\"\/kingofthenorth.htm\">King of the North<\/a> rises up, there will come a raiser of taxes:<\/div>\n<blockquote><p>20 \u201cThere shall arise in his place one who imposes taxes on the glorious kingdom; but within a few days he shall be destroyed, but not in anger or in battle. 21 And in his place shall arise a vile person, &#8230; (Daniel 11:20-21a)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The &#8220;vile person&#8221; is the final <a href=\"\/kingofthenorth.htm\">King of the North<\/a> (who is also the final <a href=\"\/europa.htm\">Beast of the Sea<\/a> of Revelation 13:1-10).<\/p>\n<p>Presuming that this the Hebrew allows for a woman to hold this role&#8211;if not, it cannot be her&#8211;is it possible that Ursula von der Leyen could fulfill that?<\/p>\n<p>If her commission&#8217;s proposal does raise a lot of taxes and then she is gone or dies soon, notice what happens shortly thereafter:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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. 24 He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time. (Daniel 11:21-24)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While I do not believe that the 31 December 2022 date with the minimum corporate tax is the final fulfillment of Daniel 11:20, it could be part of the foundation for it.<\/p>\n<p>That said, it seems that perhaps it will be the person coming into office after Urusla von der Leyen leaves that will be this person. The next leader would be expected to come in in late 2024 and instead may very well be that person. The timing would seem to point to that.<\/p>\n<p>That said, time is getting short (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/six_thousand_year_plan_6000.htm\">Does God Have a 6,000 Year Plan? What Year Does the 6,000 Years End?<\/a>). And if various taxes are raised in Europe, this may signal how close we may be to the rising up of the final <a href=\"\/kingofthenorth.htm\">King of the North<\/a>, and also the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/antichrist.htm\">Antichrist<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there was a type of fulfillment of Daniel 11:20 thousands of years ago:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"style41\">Verse 19 \u2014 Antiochus next turned his attention to the fortresses of his own land, in the east and west. But, attempting to recruit his dissipated wealth by the plunder of the Oriental Temple of Belus, in Elymais, he was killed, 187 B.C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style41\">Verse 20 \u2014 Seleucus IV Philopator (187-176), his son, in an effort to raise money, sent a tax collector, Heliodorus, through Judea. But he reigned only 11 years, when Heliodorus poisoned him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style41\">Verse 21 \u2014 he left no heir. But his brother, a younger son of Antiochus the Great, named Epiphanes (Antiochus IV), a contemptible reprobate, came by surprise and through flattery took the kingdom. (Armstrong HW. The Middle East in Prophecy. Worldwide Church of God, 1972)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But since many prophecies in Daniel 11 are actually for the &#8220;appointed time&#8221; (Daniel 11:27,29,35) of &#8220;the end&#8221; (Daniel 11:27,35,40) as the chapter shows, they still have future fulfillment.<\/p>\n<p>Unless something changes, Ursula von der Leyen is supposed to be in office for five years&#8211;and out by the end of 2024.
