MUNICH — European leaders have long been alarmed that President Trump’s words and Twitter messages could undo a trans-Atlantic alliance that had grown stronger over seven decades. They had clung to the hope that those ties would bear up under the strain.

But in the last few days of a prestigious annual security conference in Munich, the rift between Europe and the Trump administration became open, angry and concrete, diplomats and analysts say.

News RSS feed - The New Order - Last Days of Europe mod for Hearts of Iron IV - Mod DB In which we discuss Dirlewanger's deathly dues, Comrade Lysenko's mad experiments, the children of Vorkuta and a bunch of wacky peasant communes. See how they are pushing this now? Don't be surprised to see Satan causing bad things to happen and linking it with not keeping Sunday as a day of rest, in order to bring about the Sunday law. News article: Link. New Jersey Mayor says Protecting Sunday Blue Laws 'will always be his number one priority' (January 2018).

A senior German official, who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak on such matters, shrugged his shoulders and said: “No one any longer believes that Trump cares about the views or interests of the allies. It’s broken.”

The most immediate danger, diplomats and intelligence officials warned, is that the trans-Atlantic fissures now risk being exploited by Russia and China.

Even the normally gloomy Russian foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, happily noted the strains, remarking that the Euro-Atlantic relationship had become increasingly “tense.”

“We see new cracks forming, and old cracks deepening,” Mr. Lavrov said.

The Europeans no longer believe that Washington will change, not when Mr. Trump sees traditional allies as economic rivals and leadership as diktat. His distaste for multilateralism and international cooperation is a challenge to the very heart of what Europe is and needs to be in order to have an impact in the world.

But beyond the Trump administration, an increasing number of Europeans say they believe that relations with the United States will never be the same again.

Karl Kaiser, a longtime analyst of German-American relations, said, “Two years of Mr. Trump, and a majority of French and Germans now trust Russia and China more than the United States.”

Thomas Kleine-Brockhoff, a former adviser to the German president and director of the Berlin office of the German Marshall Fund, said, “If an alliance becomes unilateral and transactional, then it’s no longer an alliance.”

There were signs that not all American and European leaders were willing to surrender the alliance so easily.

To show solidarity with Europe, more than 50 American lawmakers, both Republicans and Democrats — a record number — attended the Munich Security Conference. They came, said Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Democrat of New Hampshire, “to show Europeans that there is another branch of government which strongly supports NATO and the trans-Atlantic alliance.”

The most visible pushback against Washington came from Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany — who delivered an unusually passionate speech — and from her defense minister, Ursula von der Leyen. They spoke about the dangers of unilateral actions by major partners without discussing the consequences with allies.

They cited Mr. Trump’s recent announcements that American troops would leave northern Syria and Afghanistan, as well as the administration’s decision to suspend one of the last remaining arms-control agreements: the ban on land-based intermediate range missiles.

That decision affects European security, and there has been no alternative strategy, Ms. Merkel said. Abandoning the treaty, despite Russia’s violations, helps decouple Germany from the American nuclear umbrella.

“We sit there in the middle with the result,” Ms. Merkel said.

The Syria pullout, she continued, could only help Russia and Iran. That view was echoed by the French foreign minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, who called American policy in Syria “a mystery to me.”

When he was told by Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, that the United States would preserve “some capacity” in Syria, the normally diplomatic Mr. Le Drian said, sarcastically: “Oh, that’s good news. I didn’t know.” And then he added acerbically, “That fills me with joy.”

Vice President Mike Pence, who spoke after Ms. Merkel in Munich, met stony silence when he tried to pressure allies to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, a sign of the continuing anger at Washington’s decision to scrap the deal unilaterally. European allies regard the pact as vital to European security and to the preservation of nuclear nonproliferation.

Even more, the Europeans are angry that renewed American sanctions hurt European companies far more than any American ones.

Ms. Merkel said the split over Iran “depresses me very much,” but she stressed that Europe and the United States were ultimately pursuing the same goal. She said the deal was one way to have influence over Iran — influence she clearly felt that Washington was throwing away.

Mr. Pence, in his speech, praised Mr. Trump and what he called the restoration of American leadership of the West. But Europeans were not convinced.

“It’s very odd to talk of American leadership of the alliance when it’s Trump who has caused the crisis,” said Marietje Schaake, a Dutch member of the European Parliament. “The Trump administration is seen by many Europeans as chiefly responsible for the tensions and the weakening of the West.”

Nathalie Tocci, a senior adviser to the European foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said that for Europeans, the divide went “to the heart of how we view international relations and our national interest.”

“We’re small and understandably need partnership both inside Europe and outside, with NATO,” Ms. Tocci said.

But that is also a sign of European weakness and division. “We want to believe it will be fine again later because we have no alternative,” she said.

It means the dependency on the United States will continue, even as the Europeans look for ways not to depend on Washington as much, analysts say.

The Europeans “are beginning to do what we should,” Ms. Tocci said — spend more on the military, discuss some sort of European army in coordination with NATO, think more strategically as Europe in the face of Russia and China. “But no one believes it’s doable in the short run,” she added, and many believe it’s not easily doable at all.

Europeans are waiting for change in the White House, Ms. Tocci and others said.

“The Europeans are holding their breath and thinking that it’s maybe only two more years,” said Victoria Nuland, a former senior American official. “At the same time, they don’t want to do anything to wreck things further or to insult Trump personally and risk an angry response.”

A growing number of European voices warn that the current trans-Atlantic discord has more fundamental roots, and that there will be no returning to the past.

Mr. Trump is not the cause, said Norbert Röttgen, the chairman of the German Parliament’s foreign relations committee, but a symptom of the tectonic shifts in geopolitics that have led to the return of great power rivalry and centrifugal forces away from multilateralism.

“In the post-Trump era, there is no return to the pre-Trump era,” he said. “The status quo was Europe’s security is guaranteed by the United States. That won’t happen again.”

Jan Techau, director of the Europe Program at the German Marshall Fund in Berlin, worries that the intervening gap will mean strategic vulnerability to Russia and China. The United States faces “a superpower’s dilemma,” Mr. Techau said.

It has to “pressure allies to do more,” he said. “At the same time, the message has to be ‘We will always be there.’”

“Trump does not understand the price he pays in strategic terms when he bashes his allies so publicly and openly,” Mr. Techau added.

If there is any ambiguity, he said, Russia and China know that the security guarantee is no longer real. “When that protection goes,” he said, “then this strategic space is up for grabs.”

One World Government
European Union, And Where's America

The reformation of Israel on May 14, 1948 was the most important prophetic event of our day and age. It was the event that marked the start of God’s prophetic clock. The second most important event was the formation of a European confederation known as The European Union. Both of these momentous events give us a loud and clear warning that we are on the very threshold of the Rapture, Tribulation, and the Lord’s return.

The biblical significance of this momentous development in Europe has been widely recognized by students of Bible prophecy. For example, commenting on the signs of the times that point to the Lord’s soon return, Dr. S. Franklin Logsdon wrote:

The present statehood of Israel is a powerful indication of the ending of the age. The Ecumenical Movement is another. Perhaps equal to either of these is the European Common Market with its many implications . . . it is an economic community, a breaking down of national barriers, a getting together on certain common bases. The whole idea is to reshape the face of Europe. This was attempted by Caesar, by Napoleon, and by Hitler, but their means to this end were not subtle or as work­able as those proposed by the Common Market. They used ammunition; today’s promoters use bread. And let it be said that the reshaping of the face of Europe approximates the kingdom to arise out of the old Roman Empire — the last Gentile power.

Those words were written in 1973, long before the European Economic Community had evolved into the European Union.

EU – The Revived Roman Empire

Most observers of the 'New World Order' and the trend toward a global government, tend to assume that it will emerge from the United Nations. Many European leaders however have noted that Europe views the U.N. with some disdain. They view the U.N. as an American venture, domiciled on U.S. soil, sponsored by the Rockefellers, and they frequently point to its unblemished track record of failure. They, too, assume that an eventual global government will emerge but that it will be Euro-centered.

The New Order Last Days Of Europe Wiki

Since the rebirth of the nation of Israel in 1948, we have witnessed the early stages of the revived Roman Empire. In 1948 The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was created to defend Western Europe against the threat from the Soviet Union. In 1957 The European Community was founded, with its policies being strengthened by the establishment of the European Union in 1993.

The EU today is currently made up of twenty-seven member states, including several nations from the former Eastern Bloc. The EU very much resembles the Roman Empire during the days of Christ. It is almost as if God has turned back the hands of time to the spiritual and political situation as it existed two millenniums ago. Then Rome was allied with or had conquered all the territory of Europe and the nations surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. But Rome was never able to conquer the Parthian Empire, which occupied the area of present day Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream & Daniel’s Dream

The question is, can we find this newly emerging power bloc in Scriptures? Yes, we can. Chapters 2 and 7 of Daniel are where the European sign is revealed. We are told that the prophecies given to Daniel in these chapters relate to “the latter days” (Daniel 2:28), “to what would take place in the future” (Daniel 2:29). Daniel’s prophecies are based upon a dream which God gave to Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 2:31-35). Interpreting that dream, Daniel concluded that it revealed a succession of Gentile empires, beginning with the Babylonian Empire, followed by Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome (Daniel 2:36-40).

The last Gentile world empire will be a confederation of nations (Daniel 2:41-43) that will arise out of the old Roman Empire (Daniel 7:7-8). And out of that confederation, the Antichrist will arise, using the revived Roman Empire as his base to conquer the world (Daniel 7:8, Daniel 7:23-25). But this final Gentile empire will be short-lived, for it will be suddenly crushed by the return of the Messiah who will “set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed” (Daniel 2:44).

In the Scriptures, following Daniel’s interpreting Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of a statue that was made of different metals, Daniel was lying on his bed asleep where received a dream filled with unusual visions (Daniel 7:1). This dream was given to him by God. He saw “the four winds of heaven whipping into frenzy the “great sea,” out of which came four unusual beasts (Daniel 7:2-3).

Both the statue of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and the beast from Daniel’s dream are the same thing. They are both given by God and they are both a complete overview of the kingdoms to come on earth all the way up till the end of human history. Daniel’s vision from God of the beasts gives us little more information, so let’s look closer at the details of the beasts. (The below chart shows the correlation between the parts of the statue from Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and the beasts of Daniel’s dream)

The First Beast
The first beast looked 'like a lion with the wings of an eagle'. It symbolizes strength and swiftness (Daniel 7:4). Archeologists have discovered that the symbol of Babylon was the winged lion, which is also attested to in scripture (Jeremiah 50:17, Ezekiel 17:3, 12). The lion's wings were 'plucked… and it was made to stand on two feet… and it was given a human mind' (Daniel 7:4). These metaphors represent the insanity of Nebuchadnezzar as well as his change of heart toward God.

The Second Beast
The second beast resembled a lopsided bear with three ribs in its mouth (Daniel 7:5). It has two legs that were short than the others. This indicated that the Persians, though rising later, would dominate the Medes in thier united Kingdome. Throughout the Bible, the bears are known for their aggressive and carnivorous behavior (2 Samuel 17:8, 2 Kings 2:24, Hosea 13:8). The meaning of the three ribs in the bears mouth is uncertain, but it is certain that the Medo-Persians were ferocious as they gobbled up territory (Isaiah 13:15-18).

The Third Beast
The third beast looked like a leopard with four wings and four heads (Daniel 7:6). In the Bible leopards are depicted as swift (Habakkuk 1:8) and cunning (Jeremiah 5:6, Hosea 13:7). This reflects the manner in which Alexander the Great and the Greeks conquered the Medo-Persian Empire and then the world. After the death of Alexander in 323 BC, his kingdom was divided among four generals (Daniel 8:8, 21-22).

The Fourth Beast
The fourth beast was unlike anything Daniel had ever seen before. It was dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong (Daniel 7:7). Its teeth were large and like iron, and it “devoured and crushed and trampled down” the other beast. The beast represented the Roman Empire, which destroyed Greece and conquered a wider range of territory than any of those who had come before.

On the fourth beast’s head were ten horns, representing ten kings or kingdoms (Daniel 7:7, 23-24). While Daniel was pondering the ten horns, an eleventh horn, a “little one,” begin to emerge from the midst of the others, uprooting three of the horns. The little horn was intelligent and had a mouth from which it blasphemed God (Daniel 7:8). It represented the Antichrist with the 10 horns representing the rise of the new Roman Empire and its eventual ruling body of 10 leaders.

EU – The Revived Roman Empire

Alan Franklin (a British newspaperman) wrote:
What is emerging in Europe is a new Holy European Empire, an attempt to resurrect the old Holy Roman Empire that existed under the Pope. This is becoming increasingly blatant. The Vatican is playing a major role in the creation of the new European Empire, and Catholic social values — so-called “Christian Socialism” — is at its heart. The present Pope has repeatedly called for religious unity in Europe. This means a united, Catholic Europe, which was consecrated to Mary by the Vatican in 1309.

When I visited Strasbourg, the French city near the German border which, with Brussels, co-hosts the European Parliament, I was introduced to the head of the house of Habsburg, Otto von Habsburg, a man whose family dominated Europe for centuries. Full of charm and intelligence, he said that instead of war, a great new Europe could be built on peaceful cooperation. His ideas go far beyond this, however. In his book, The Social Order of Tomorrow, he writes:

Now we do possess a European symbol which belongs to all nations equally. This is the crown of the Holy Roman Empire, which embodies the tradition of Charlemagne; the ruler of a united accident...the Crown represents not merely the sovereignty of the monarch, but also the ties between authority and the people. True, it is the monarch who is crowned, but in this sacred act he appears as the representative of the whole people. It should therefore be considered whether the European head of state, as the protector of European law and justice, should not also become the guardian of a symbol which, more than any other, represents the sovereignty of the European community.

Dr. Habsburg wants to see Europe have an elected head of state — a man elected for life. This influence of both Charlemagne and the Habsburgs hangs heavily over the new federal Europe. The crown of Charlemagne, the first person to attempt to revive the Roman Empire in 800 AD, is an inspiration to those who promote the breaking down of nation states, and a Charlemagne prize has been established for those who work hardest for European unity. One who did was ex-President Clinton, who in June 2000, was the first American president to receive the Charlemagne prize for his work in promoting European unity. He received the prize at the cathedral in Aachen, Germany, where the first Holy Roman Emperor lies buried. Clinton called for an enlargement of the EU to even take in Russia.

That many in Europe have been thinking on these lines for years is shown in a chilling quote from Paul-Henri Spaak, former Belgian Prime Minister and President of the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe nearly 50 years ago. He said:

More recently Jack Lang, then president of the French National Assembly’s foreign affairs committee, said that the EU

Attacking the inaction in European foreign policy, he said Europe needed a strong central government with a single “personality” in control. Students of Bible prophecy will have little doubt who this “personality” will be.

Babylon Is Indeed Being Rebuilt

According to the Rev. Dr. Ian Paisley, a Northern Ireland Protestant minister and member of the European Parliament, the woman on a beast is now the official picture of the EU. He points out that the multi-million dollar new parliament building in Brussels, Belgium, contains a dome with a colossal painting, three times life size, of a woman riding a beast.

In Strasbourg, France, the rival parliamentary building features a mural of a naked woman riding a beast. Likewise, the new Brussels headquarters of the Council of Europe contains a bronze statue of a woman riding a beast, and the beast is depicted riding on waves, just as in Revelation 17.

There are two parliament buildings for Europe, one in Strasbourg in France, and the other in Brussels in Belgium - both contain murals depicting this woman. And outside the Council of Europe Building in Brussels is a crude sculpture of this evil, scarlet woman, riding the evil beast.

This symbol of the European Union is printed on stamps, phone cards, and currency.

Europe is setting it self up in direct opposition to God. It is slowly changing laws to squeeze the Christian church out, and it makes no secret of this. To encourage support for the EU, the Council of Europe published a poster identifying Europe with the rebuilding of Babel!

This poster which was issued by the European Union, showing the Tower of Babel and carrying the slogan: “Many tongues, one voice.” In case the point was lost, a crane in the background was shown rebuilding the tower. Above the Tower of Babel were shown the eurostars, but inverted, as in witchcraft, with the central points downwards.

In December 2000 they completed a new EU Parliament building in Strasbourg in France.

Mystical Babylon is now being rebuilt in Europe, and those who would follow Nimrod have now succeeded in building a parliament building in Strasbourg, France, whose centerpiece is an enormous replica of the unfinished tower of Babel. Even the secular press could not miss the connection between the old and new towers of Babel. They labeled the new French structure “The Tower of Euro­babel.”

'Most people don’t think about it, but the EU symbol was thought up by a Roman Catholic in honour of Mary,” says P. H. op’t Hof (Chairman of The National Foundation for the Preservation of the Political Reformed Principles). The Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano stated that the designer of the symbol, Arsène Heitz, said he had been inspired by reported visions of the Virgin Mary in 19th century Paris. The flag Heitz designed was adopted by the Council of Europe on December 8, 1955. December 8 being the date that the Roman Catholic Church celebrates its belief in the Immaculate Conception of Mary.

The European Union’s flag consists of 12 stars, inspired by the halo of 12 stars that appear around the Madonna in Catholic pictures of her. A former secretary general of the Council of Europe, Leon Marchal, affirmed that the stars are those of “the woman of the Apocalypse.” Enthusiastically he explained, “It’s wonderful that we have gotten back to the Introit of the new Mass of the Assumption. It’s the corona stellarum duodecim (the crown of the twelve stars) of the woman of the Apocalypse.”

The EU has confirmed that the number of stars will always stay at 12, which indicates that the stars do not represent countries. From a leaflet, “Building Europe Together,” which is given at EU headquarters in Brussels: “The European flag is a shared flag, blue with 12 gold stars symbolizing completeness. The number will remain 12 no matter how many countries there are in the European Union.”

This was written by Ed Hindson before 1998:

There is much speculation around different scenarios involving terrorist and nuclear weaponry, EMP attack from Iranian cargo ships, etc (What is an EMP attack?). While all these scenarios are certainly possible, let’s spend some time looking at the most probable. Recent (and some not so recent) developments in America has already pushed her as a nation to the breaking point. Without any outside military assistance, America seems to already be at a point that has many prognosticators across the world predicating dire scenarios for the US.

Chuck Missler:
President Bush’s furtive positioning for a “North American Union” was anticipating a new common currency to replace the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar, and the Mexican Peso, called the Amero. Robert Pastor, the architect of the plan, had published 2010 as the target date for its introduction.

Many regarded this as ridiculous: it would take a major crisis: massive U.S. government debt; an unbridled credit expansion, the prospect of major property collapse, etc. However, the current crisis would certainly seem to fit the bill! Might this very crisis actually be deliberately engineered? If so, we won’t have to wait very long to test that hypothesis.

The real problem is that America is in moral free fall. We are victims of spiritual warfare: We have a media masking truth. We have courts perverting justice. We have schools deliberately “dumbing down” our youth. We have replaced our traditional heritage with “multiculturalism,” revisionism, and value relativism. We deny the very existence of truth. So our traditional patriotism has now been relegated to an obsolete form of idol worship.

Our government is now the purveyor of immorality. Why are we surprised? Governments have always loved crises: they provide the rationale for increasing budgets and bureaucracies, and subjugating the population. Most new dictators create external crises to consolidate their internal powers. In our country, they long ago learned that social crises serve that function as well as military ones.

There is one insight that supplies a key missing link: immorality results in social crises. Is it any surprise to learn that governments have an enormous incentive to promote immorality? Should we be surprised by the attacks on the family, the promotion of homosexuality, abortion, and other disruptive factors to destabilize and disrupt our society?

With America in its current shape and with all indicators predicting only a change for the worse, it’s not hard to see what the Rapture of the church would do to this nation.

The most likely reason America is not mentioned in end time prophecy is because it won’t exist. Literally, it won’t exist. It will be a part of the EU either as the whole of what was America, being a region or as different parts added to separate regions.

It may also be that the Antichrist, at that time, has changed the name of the EU to something better fitting a one world government (this being only a speculated possibly).

The Extremely Near Future of the EU

Scripture is being fulfilled today before our very eyes; we are witnessing the fulfillment of these ancient prophecies of Daniel. Europe has reunited into a revived Roman Empire that is expanding rapidly in size. IT HAS ALREADY DIVIDED THE WORLD INTO 10 REGIONS just as prophesied by Daniel. As it grows, and as national identities are de-emphasized the ten administrative regions will have a ruling body of 10 leaders under the Antichrist (who will remove and/or kill three of the leaders), just as Daniel prophesied (The ten toes of chapter 2 correspond to the ten horns of chapter 7):

Daniel 2:40-42
40'Then there will be a fourth kingdom as strong as iron; inasmuch as iron crushes and shatters all things, so, like iron that breaks in pieces, it will crush and break all these in pieces.

41'In that you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but it will have in it the toughness of iron, inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with common clay.

42'As the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of pottery, so some of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be brittle.

Daniel 7:7
7'After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth It devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.
