Germany's Military Growing Quietly!

Last week, Foreign Policy ran an article entitled “Germany Is Quietly Building a European Army Under Its Command” (May 22, 2017). For decades, German defense spending has been kept very low. However, under its Framework Nations Concept, Germany is working with small European nations like the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and Romania. As the article reports, “For Germany, the idea is to share its resources with smaller countries in exchange for the use of their troops. For these smaller countries, the initiative is a way of getting Germany more involved in European security while sidestepping the tricky politics of [German] military expansion.” Germany’s approach appears to be working because “few people in Europe have objected to the integration of Dutch or Romanian units into German divisions, partly because they may not have noticed.”

The Bible tells of “ten kings” or kingdoms who give their power over to a European beast for a short period of time just prior to the return of Jesus Christ (Revelation 17:12-14). Exactly how they will give their power over to this military and political machine remains to be seen. However, the quiet way in which military power is being “handed over” to Germany by smaller nations lends insight into how this might happen. Prophecy is moving forward, and world events are occurring as prophesied. For more about the future of this beast, read The Beast of Revelation.
