Winds of Change in Germany and Europe

Following Donald Trump’s recent visit to Europe and his choice not to re-commit to NATO Article 5 (which states that if one member of NATO is attacked, the others will come to its support), German Chancellor Angela Merkel observed, “The times in which we can fully count on others are somewhat over, as I have experienced in the past few days” (EU Observer, May 29, 2017). She continued, “That is why I can only say: We Europeans must really take our fate into our own hands” (Spiegel Online, May 29, 2017). The New York Times called Chancellor Merkel’s comments “a potentially seismic shift in trans-Atlantic relations” (May 28, 2017). Deutsche Welle called her comments a “pivot to Europe” (May 29, 2017). What does this mean for the future? According to a reporter from The Independent, “Germany and Europe are likely to take on a much more substantial and independent role than they have in the past 70 years” (May 29, 2017). Analysts are unsure of exactly what the future holds for Europe, but most see Germany stepping into a stronger leadership position, as Europe becomes more independent of the rest of the West.

Bible prophecy indicates the same: a strong, German-led Europe that has the potential to lead the world for a time. For more insights into this long-prophesied reality, read or listen to “Why Is Germany Rising?” You might be surprised by what you read!
