The one who will be the King of the North is prophesied to rise up \u201cWhen the transgressors have reached their fullness\u201d (Daniel 8:23), which suggests that this is about when God has had enough of the increasing immorality in nations like the USA and its British-descended allies. &#8230; the King of the North will do things that he had not told the USA he would do; &#8230; (p. 119)<\/p>\n<p>This King will employ deceit:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>21<\/sup> \u2026 he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue.

He will destroy the mighty American-British alliance.<\/p>\n<p>Because of not accepting and understanding biblical prophecies, many political and other leaders will be hoping for and believing in a false peace. The sudden destruction to come is likely to include a nuclear or other high tech attack, and could possibly happen in conjunction with a NATO\u00a0training or other exercise that would catch the USA\u00a0and its Anglo-Saxon-Celtic allies off guard.

NATO or other arrangements could give the Europeans cover for publicly preparing for a military event, while giving it the ability to publicly state that such preparations are only parts of an exercise. The Germans have historically used the element of surprise to gain military advantage\u2014remember WWII and blitzkrieg? Europe one day will turn on the USA (Lamentations 1:1-2, Daniel 11:39; Isaiah 10:5-12). Weapons of mass destruction, and not necessarily just nuclear, will be employed.

Deuteronomy 29:23-25; Isaiah 9:19-21;Ezekiel 6:6), which will help it conquer the USA, which is the military power with the strongest fortresses (cf. Daniel 11:39). (pp. 211-212)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Unintended consequences of Donald Trump&#8217;s statements and actions include the fact that Europe is arming, plans to arm more, wants to be militarily independent of the USA, will have more control over NATO, and is not pleased with Donald Trump or the USA.<\/p>\n<p>One day Europe will conquer the USA per biblical prophecies such as Daniel 11:39 and Isaiah 10:5-11.<\/p>\n<p>For over a decade, I have warned that Europe may attack the USA under the guise of a NATO or some other military-related exercise. The Bible tells us that this coming European leader <sup>&#8220;<\/sup>shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue&#8221; (Daniel 11:21). That is consistent with what I have long warned.<\/p>\n<p>Arguments with NATO, or even the possible withdrawing of the USA from NATO, will NOT end up well for the USA.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>While Europe publicly is still supportive of NATO, in the end Europe will betray the NATO members of the USA, Canada, and UK.<\/p>\n<p>By pushing the Europeans to spend more on their militaries (which the Obama, Biden, and Trump Adminstrations have all done), the USA and UK have been &#8216;sowing wind,&#8217; but will reap the whirlwind:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>6 &#8230; But the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.<\/p>\n<p>7 &#8220;They sow the wind,<br \/>\nAnd reap the whirlwind.<br \/>\nThe stalk has no bud;<br \/>\nIt shall never produce meal.<br \/>\nIf it should produce,<br \/>\nAliens would swallow it up.<br \/>\n8 Israel is swallowed up;<br \/>\nNow they are among the Gentiles<br \/>\nLike a vessel in which is no pleasure.<br \/>\n9 For they have gone up to Assyria,<br \/>\nLike a wild donkey alone by itself;<br \/>\nEphraim has hired lovers. (Hosea 8:6-9)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The reference to &#8216;Samaria&#8217; above refers to the USA (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/samaritan.htm\">Spiritual Samaritans: Old and New<\/a>) and the reference to Ephraim above refers to the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand (for biblically-related details, check out the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/britishisrael.htm\">Anglo &#8211; America in Prophecy &amp; the Lost Tribes of Israel<\/a>). Assyria is a reference to a European power based out of central Europe (for biblically-related details, check out the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/germany-in-prophecy.htm\">Germany in Biblical Prophecy<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/europa.htm\">Europe<\/a> will need to reorganize, but the Bible tells of at least two more reorganizations to come in Europe in Revelation 17:2-13 (see also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/ten-kings.htm\">Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>While some do not believe that Europe wants to destroy the USA or is capable of rising up to take over the USA, Canada, and the UK, consider the following two portions of scripture:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>5 &#8220;Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger<br \/>\nAnd the staff in whose hand is My indignation.<br \/>\n6 I will send him against an ungodly nation,<br \/>\nAnd against the people of My wrath<br \/>\nI will give him charge,<br \/>\nTo seize the spoil, to take the prey,<br \/>\nAnd to tread them down like the mire of the streets.<br \/>\n7 Yet he does not mean so,<br \/>\nNor does his heart think so;<br \/>\nBut it is in his heart to destroy,<br \/>\nAnd cut off not a few nations.<br \/>\n8 For he says,<br \/>\n&#8216;Are not my princes altogether kings?<br \/>\n9 Is not Calno like Carchemish?<br \/>\nIs not Hamath like Arpad?<br \/>\nIs not Samaria like Damascus?<br \/>\n10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols,<br \/>\nWhose carved images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria,<br \/>\n11 As I have done to Samaria and her idols,<br \/>\nShall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols?'&#8221; (Isaiah 10:5-11)<\/p>\n<p>2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 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, &#8220;Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him? (Revelation 13:2-4)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Bible shows that the European power (called Assyria in Isaiah 10; see also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/germany-in-prophecy.htm\">Germany in Biblical Prophecy<\/a>) does not think it intends to be militaristic, but that it will and will conquer. The Bible shows that the world will marvel that Europe was able to be such a military power as Europe basically had been dismissed as irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p>It is quite likely that some version of NATO will survive, but that Europe will use NATO as a shield from Russia, and eventually turn against the USA and its Anglo-Saxon descended allies. That will essentially be a fulfillment of the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div id=\"v-1\" class=\"verse font-helvetica\"><span class=\"verse-number\">1<\/span> <span class=\"verse-1\"> How lonely sits the city That was full of people!

There is also the new National Security Strategy report from the Trump Administration which looks to change NATO. Europe is offended, but is preparing for this to take place. How so? By taking economic (expanding trade relations) and military (by increased spending and added troops) steps And it is the military preparations by Europe that should most concern the United States. Dr. Thiel points out how the fragmented state of the European Union will lead to the reorganization of Europe (Revelation 17:12-13) which will ultimately bring about the rise of the prophesied King of the North (Daniel 11:39-43). Could a blitzkrieg type of an attack under the guise of a NATO-type exercise lead to the conquering of the USA? Scriptures quoted by Dr. Thiel point out that when this reorganization of Europe takes place the destruction and enslavement of the United States of America, the nation with the strongest fortresses, is not far behind. Daniel 8:23 tells us this King of the North understands \u201csinister schemes\u201d. Could one of those sinister schemes be the destruction of the United States? Are there other scriptures that confirm this destruction? Who is Assyria? Who is Samaria? Who is Ephraim? The answer is surprising but makes clear many scriptures that were sealed until the time of the end. The answer to the identity of Assyria, Samaria and Ephraim as referred to by the prophets Isaiah and Hosea is provided by Dr. Thiel in this video. Watch this video as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical prophecy on the future of the United States of America and its British descended allies. Listen as Dr. Thiel explains the scriptures that prophesy the end of the United States by its friends, such as Lamentations 1:1-2. The time is getting closer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here is a link to our video:\u00a0<a id=\"video-title\" class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\" title=\"USA to leave NATO?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ttl7V6iQtv8\" aria-label=\"USA to leave NATO? 14 minutes, 59 seconds\">USA to leave NATO?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Europe is taking military steps and the US has been encouraging them.<\/p>\n<p>This will not end well for the USA (Daniel 11:39; Isaiah 10:5-11), even many Muslim countries (cf.
