Congratulations, America. A political party just won a state election in Saxony-Anhalt, a place most Americans could not find on a map if you handed them the map, a highlighter, and a three-hour head start. According to the latest dispatch from the Continuing Church of Prophetic Recycling, this means Ulrich Siegmund and Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg are about to shake hands with Moscow, reorganize Europe into the ten-horned monster from Revelation 17, betray the United States, invade the homeland, execute the inconvenient, and ship the remaining millennials to Europe to polish the Baron's riding boots.
This is not analysis. This is the same movie Armstrongism has been screening since the 1950s, only the actors keep getting recast. First it was Adenauer. Then Strauss. Then Kohl. Then Merkel was secretly paving the way. Now it's a guy who won 43.8 percent in one eastern Landtag and a former defense minister who once called Donald Trump a blonde lunatic and later a clown.
Crackpot Bob's script never changes: Germany stirs, the Beast awakens, America is toast, and the faithful should really consider the literature table on the way out. The fear tactic is beautifully efficient. Take a real, messy, democratic event - voters in a poorer eastern state punishing the governing parties over migration, energy prices, and general exhaustion - and immediately inflate it into the opening credits of World War III plus the Book of Revelation director's cut.
Any German politician who is not a perfect Atlanticist liberal instantly becomes "a 21st-century Hitler." Any suggestion that Europe might want its own defense policy becomes "the deal with the King of the North." A talk-show appearance about whether the church should be political becomes "positioning himself for the final reorganization."
Notice the flexibility. If the AfD governs, that's the Beast rising. If the AfD is frozen out, that's the Beast being restrained until the appointed hour. If Guttenberg criticizes the firewall, he's building a coalition of ten kings. If he stays on the sidelines, he's the little horn waiting for his moment with only a small number of supporters (Daniel 11:23, naturally). There is no possible outcome that does not confirm the prophecy. That is not watchfulness. That is a closed interpretive system that treats current events as set dressing for a story written decades ago.
The enslavement-and-invasion climax is the tell. No serious reading of German or European politics in 2026 points to panzers rolling through Ohio so that young Americans can become household staff in Franconia. What it does point to is a religious subculture that has spent seventy years needing a German villain the way some people need a weather forecast. The AfD's actual problems - its fringe, its slogans, its coalition math - are far less interesting than the eschatological fan fiction they can be forced into. Europe will keep changing. Germany will keep arguing with itself. Voters will keep surprising pollsters. None of that requires a two-headed Beast, a secret Vatican-Moscow-Berlin pact, or a sudden American body count. It just requires people to stop treating every regional election as the first trumpet.
Great Post!
ReplyDeleteThe AfD were mainly young people who voted for this that don’t want immigrants for various reasons. It’s sort of the same issues that the West are having. The pension system and economy benefits the older boomer regeneration and the young people don’t want programs for them while they can’t benefit economically from being native Germans. The Americans can thank the trump administration or the other alt right groups here that influence AfD.
The Armstrongist won’t look at the energy crisis, the economic decline within the decade, or the low birth rates. It’s not that spiritual, it’s just normal European politics that change to the far left or the far right down through time. (But AfD copycats could spread throughout other European countries, in regards to their economies and immigration, so it’s not impossible)
According to them, also look out for the current Pope who is doing wonders. And at the same time, got to look out for Egypt, Libya and Ethiopia getting ready to battle that North. Brace yourselves.
The AfD are NOT far-right like the media says. What a load of trash!
ReplyDeleteNo surprise here. According to the Armstrong script that has been playing out for decades lol. Yes the AfD got a lot of votes. The same is happening in the UK with Reform and other politicians who are against mass immigration from the third world etc etc etc. They are all gaining support at the expense of the traditional parties. The voters are sick of this nonsense from the so called establishment. We see the marches in the UK against migrants. Also see the open hostility of the Uk Canada and fellow Europeans against Israel. Perhaps Bobby boy should focus on this and not trying to work out who is or isn’t the BEAST. Or, now here is a novelty….preach the GOSPEL Bob lol.

DeleteMost unfortunately all of these Armstrongist systems see the gospel truth as being all about the woooorrllld tomorrow and the prophetical events they have unravelled that must precede it It all began with the fake one. And remarkably they see no problem in recycling fake prophecies
AfD has several European leaders concerned, in a way Herr Kohl and Strauss never did.
ReplyDeleteIsn't there danger in playing the assured anti-prophet just as much as playing a assured prophet ?
ReplyDeleteThink about that.
For both take away God from the equation, and it is only God who makes a prophet. Unless God has told/inspired a prophet to speak then there is danger in causing concern about a event or situation, but also danger in dismissing an event out of hand.
The answer is you and we all do not know. God can cause situations to be the perfect storm or cause situations to dwindle to nothing.
We all got warned by Jesus to be as wise as a serpent and harmless as doves, as we are living in perilous times.
