Jim Rickards – Germany\u2019s Fourth Reich Has Conquered Europe<\/strong>
\nJuly 28, 2011…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Rickards continues…”…The bad news at least if you\u2019re Greece or Italy or Spain or Portugal is that from now on your fiscal policy is going to be dictated by Germany. So this is what I call the financial \u2018Fourth Reich\u2019. Germany has accomplished financially what it has never been able to do militarily since the days of the Holy Roman Empire, which is to basically gain control over Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

How will the Fourth Reich rule Europe? That remains to be seen, but if history is any indication it will be with what the Germans would consider to be coercive efficiency.\u00a0 http:\/\/kingworldnews.com\/kingworldnews\/KWN_DailyWeb\/Entries\/2011\/7\/28_Jim_Rickards_-_Germanys_Fourth_Reich_Has_Conquered_Europe.html<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here is also something related earlier from an Irish perspective:<\/p>\n

\n

New deal is a charter for the Fourth Reich<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n
Irish Independent\u00a0– \u200eJul 23, 2011\u200e<\/div>\n

IT IS not being widely reported yet, but the document the European powers signed in Berlin last Thursday is in fact the founding charter of the Fourth German Reich. The ordinary Germans at street level are only protesting because they do not yet realise that. But what has been achieved is a thousand miles beyond a second financial bailout for Greece and it affects the Irish because the land of Brian Boru is perfectly equipped to become the second colony.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We in the Living Church of God<\/a> have long taught that Germany (Assyria in end time prophecy) would be the driving force in the end-time European Beast power<\/a> as well as having a future role in God’s kingdom. It is interesting that secular sources are more and more starting to indicate that we have long been correct about that.\u00a0 LCG has an article of related interest titled “Resurgent Germany: A Fourth Reich?<\/span><\/a>”<\/p>\n

Increasing European debt, combined with German wealth, means increasing German influence.<\/p>\n

Certain scholars believe that the Assyrian peoples migrated into central Europe in ancient times and are now represented by the Germanic peoples. Even the Catholic saint Jerome indicated that the descendants of the biblical Asshur (Genesis 10:22) which seems to be Assyria (Radmacher Concordance in. Nelson Study Bible, p. 11), ended up in parts of Europe (Jerome. Letter CXXIII to Ageruchia, Chapter 16. Translated by W.H. Fremantle, G. Lewis and W.G. Martley. From Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Second Series, Vol. 6. Edited by Philip Schaff and Henry Wace. (Buffalo, NY: Christian Literature Publishing Co., 1893.) Revised and edited for New Advent by Kevin Knight. <http:\/\/www.newadvent.org\/fathers\/3001123.htm>).<\/p>\n

The Bible also shows:<\/p>\n

5 “Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger
\nAnd the staff in whose hand is My indignation.
\n6 I will send him against an ungodly nation,
\nAnd against the people of My wrath
\nI will give him charge,
\nTo seize the spoil, to take the prey,
\nAnd to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
\n7 Yet he does not mean so,
\nNor does his heart think so;
\nBut it is in his heart to destroy,
\nAnd cut off not a few nations. (Isaiah 10:5-7)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notice that even though Assyria (modern Germany) does not think it means to, it is in the national character to destroy and cut off nations.\u00a0 Germany is getting the wealth and influence that ultimately will allow it to fulfill that prophecy.\u00a0 The Bible is also clear that Assyria will be an end time northern <\/em>power that God will punish per Zephaniah 2:13-15, which seems to go along with Revelation 18:1-10. And lately, Germany’s power seems to be rising up on the world and European scene.<\/p>\n

Unlike Adolf Hitler’s militaristic Third Reich, this “Fourth Reich” is starting at first to conquer as an economic power.\u00a0 The Bible is clear that the Beast of Revelation will try to have economic control:<\/p>\n

16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.\u00a0\u00a0 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.\u00a0 (Revelation 13:16-18)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, the Beast will also be known as a military power:<\/p>\n

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, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”\u00a0\u00a0 (Revelation 13:3-4)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Currently, the USA is the strongest military power on the planet.\u00a0 And at the end, it seems to be the nation with the “strongest fortresses” that gets taken over and divided by the final European (cf. Daniel 9:26-27) King of the North (Daniel 11:39), who is also the final Beast of Revelation 13. Despite its strength, more and more there are signs of weakness in US military strength.\u00a0 Notice the following news item from Time<\/em>:<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

A Military Teetering on the “Ragged Edge”<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
<\/strong><\/div>\n
TIME <\/strong>– July 27, 2011<\/div>\n
\n

House Armed Services Readiness Subcommittee Chairman J. Randy Forbes (R-VA) held a hearing on the state of the military this week. The conclusion is stark: the U.S. military is at a breaking point. Today. Right now…<\/strong>As Congress considers many proposals to cut significant amounts from the military’s budget<\/strong>, the Army vice highlighted the consequences: \u201cAn era of reductions carries risk, and with reductions we won’t be able to do everything we do today.\u201d…Defense cuts of the magnitude being tossed around Washington will require genuine mission trade-offs.<\/span> http:\/\/battleland.blogs.time.com\/2011\/07\/27\/a-military-teetering-on-the-ragged-edge\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So, while the USA is weakening militarily AND will likely make major military cuts for debt and budget purposes, the economic influence of Germany is growing.\u00a0 The Fourth Reich will become more than simply an economic power, it will be a military one as well.<\/p>\n

Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

\nBarack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States<\/a> Some claim that Barack Obama is the prophesied \u201cson of Kenya\u201d. Might Bible prophecy be fulfilled since he is to be the USA president?
\n<\/a>Will the Anglo-Nations be Divided?<\/a> Will the lands of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand be divided? What does Bible prophecy teach?

Where are the lost ten-tribes of Israel? Who are the lost tribes of Israel? What will happen to the Jews in Israel? Will God punish the U.S.A., Canada, United Kingdom, and other Anglo nations? Why might God allow them to be punished first?
\nCanada in Prophecy: What Does Bible Prophecy, Catholic Prophecy, and other Predictions Suggest About the Future of Canada?<\/a> There are prophecies that suggest involvement with Canada. And many are not positive about its future.
\nWho is the King of the West? Why is there no End-Time King of the West in Bible Prophecy?<\/a> Is the United States the King of the West?
