After the vote in France, we see WWII being mirrored. The British (The tribe of Joseph) voted to resist a unified Nazi Europe (voted Churchill) while the French (tribe of Reuben) voted slavery and Nazi domination with the Vichy government! History is repeating itself.
The late Herbert W. Armstrong, when he was the editor of The Plain Truth Magazine (not connected to this website) was the only voice in the world who foretold consistent prophecies and warnings published over the years in the Plain Truth magazine concerning the future of Europe, Germany and the eventual rise of the Holy Roman Empire. Most laughed when he coined the phrase "The United States of Europe." Here are a few excerpts:
The PLAIN TRUTH, June, 1952, p. 11: "The 10 `horns'…in the 17th chapter [of the Book of Revelation] …will be…the revival of the BEAST, the Roman Empire, `out of the bottomless pit,' by a `United States of Europe,' or federation of 10 European nations within the bounds of the old Roman Empire*."
The PLAIN TRUTH, November, 1954, p. 7: "Word comes from the College of Cardinals that the possibility of the new pope being chosen (when that becomes a necessity) from the ranks other than Italian is not too remote. The next pope could be the man who will unite Europe!"
The PLAIN TRUTH, February, 1962, p. 5: "On the WORLD TOMORROW program, and in the pages of the PLAIN TRUTH, we have been shouting to a heedless world for [many] years this was going to occur…it would come as an ECONOMIC force, bringing unprecedented prosperity to Europe. But also, it is to become a political and military combine—a gigantic third power bloc in the world, that will include more population, greater man-power, and possibly even greater military resources than either the United States or Russia. When this giant combine—a United States of EUROPE—finally emerges as such before a startled and dumbfounded world, it will last only a very short time. It will fight against Jesus Christ at His Second Coming!"
The PLAIN TRUTH, March, 1963, p. 3: "…a German STRONG MAN is the logical choice to ascend to the helm of the new POLITICALLY UNITED EUROPE."
Not only did Armstrong see a united Europe, he also proclaimed a UNIFIED Germany and the destruction of the Berlin Wall!
The PLAIN TRUTH, October, 1964, p. 48: "Germany—A UNITED GERMANY with her former territories restored—is ready to emerge as the strongest nation on earth at the head of a revitalized…Europe! The power colossus is then going to deal a death blow to the United States and Britain…"
The PLAIN TRUTH, December, 1964, p. 16: "…God shows that in this end time He is going to use the modern Assyrians…the Germans—to dominate a United Europe."
The PLAIN TRUTH, October, 1968. [Editor's note: Herbert W. Armstrong's son, Garner Ted, had just returned from Munich and Bonn, following interviews with the late Franz Josef Strauss, who was then head of the Christian Socialist Union of Bavaria, and former Defense Minister. The article in the October issue included a lengthy question and answer session with Herr Strauss]. p. 6: "One of our major conditions [Strauss said] is that the desire for admission to the Common Market is not based upon the motivation to impede political integration. We want…members who are ready and prepared to join us on the way toward a political integration with the long-run goal of the United States of Europe." Later, underlining the fact that Strauss had become a strong proponent of European acquisition of nuclear weapons, he said, "I believe the Europeans should take more responsibility for their own defense…I see as the only chance… that of building up a Europe—integrating the Federal Republic of Germany into that Europe and building bridges from an attractive, economically powerful, political and influential Europe which can defend herself—including a nuclear potential—to add to the power of the Europeans."
"If you have not yet read my book Europe and America in Prophecy, please call or write for your free copy immediately. We had run completely out of stocks due to high demand, and I have ordered it reprinted."
Now from TODAY's 'Der Spiegel', Germany's largest newspaper are these ominous words:
Is Germany's Finance Minister Going Rogue?
He used to be regarded as Germany's safest pair of hands when it comes to the euro crisis. Now, criticism of Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble is growing within the government parties. Some believe that Schäuble wants to exploit the crisis to push through his vision of a United States of Europe. By SPIEGEL Staff.
