Call for a New World Leader

President Donald Trump’s heated meeting and disagreement with Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky two weeks ago set many world leaders on edge. Politico reported that European leaders met immediately afterward, and the European Union’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas remarked, “Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge” (February 28, 2025). The article observed that the moment “may prove a significant turning point in the tottering postwar Western alliance between Europe and the United States.” Mr. Trump has always been a polarizing force, but following the now-infamous meeting, the majority of European leaders clearly came down on the side of Ukraine and in opposition to the U.S. president. EU leaders, feeling the pressure of a tenuous future for any U.S. military presence in Europe, are now meeting regarding the buildup of their own militaries. European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen recently shared “EU plans to strengthen Europe’s defence industry and increase military capabilities” that “could mobilize close to 800 billion euros ($841.4 billion)” (Reuters, March 4, 2025). Many in the bloc, seeing the handwriting on the wall, are talking about moving forward without the United States and the “leader of the free world”—the U.S. president. President Trump’s aim in his first term—to push Europe to arm and defend itself—is coming to fruition. However, this is happening as the U.S. makes itself a hated nation.

As world leaders plan and strategize and the press reports breathlessly about every twist and turn, most overlook what Bible prophecies have long predicted. The Bible foretells that at the end of the age, Israelite-descended nations, including the U.S., will become hated by the world—especially by a German-led Europe. They will eventually be taken into some form of national captivity by this coming European “beast” power. These Israelite-descended nations also include the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and many nations of Europe itself. While many of these nations have led the world in recent decades, they are destined to become the “tail” and not the “head” (Deuteronomy 28:43–44). To learn more about this coming global reversal and who will become the new world leader, read or listen to The Beast of Revelation.
