The Danger That Is Europe

Bible Prophecy States EU to Form Core Group
EU industry commissioner Gunter Verheugen, when asked by the German daily Die Welt how he sees the European Union in 20 years' time, responded: "I believe… we will have a political union, but maybe not with all states that now form part of the EU."

Bavarian Pope Entrusts Germany to Lead Europe, Others Wary of Grand Inquisitor
The "holy Roman" arrived in Munich to galvanize the underground forces ready to spring into action to revive the empire of the German Nation, all allegedly in service to Europa - a damsel in distress - and in pagan devotion to "Mary"...

The Intelligence Summit Misses the Mark: the German-Jesuit Threat to World Peace
The whole world has been focusing on Islamic terrorism, as is understandable, but the greatest threat to world peace is the German-dominated European Union! The United States has foolishly been helping to create such a Frankenstein Monster that will brutally betray both the American, British and Jewish peoples.

Is Germany in Danger of Backsliding?
We left it up to the Germans to "deNazify" their country! Now Germany appears to be backsliding as the Nazi German spirit is beginning to stir again, getting ready to break free from imposed shackles with a fury, and come back with a vengeance from the abyss, threatening to wreak havoc upon the world.

Europe's Bitter Roots
As prophesied, there were four Gentile superpowers: Babylon, the Medes and Persians, Greco-Macedonian, and Rome (Dan. 2:31-45). These are the roots Europe would do well to research.

Germany's Fourth Reich Spreads Its Wings Over the World
Those who strongly disagree with the "European Union" forging ahead, the Euro-skeptics, state sovereignty is under attack and that the EU is going backwards, descending into the darkness of fascism, not advancing democratic ideals but sacrificing them with impunity.

The Secret Nazis

Sorcerer-Pope to Bewitch Europe and Mislead the Masses
Watch for the pagan sorcerer-pope to start performing many supernatural deeds, counterfeit miracles, to mislead the masses and get them eating out of his hand to support the Vatican's elect to "defend" Europe and "Western Christian Civilization" and murder any who oppose them.

Germany Behind the Mask
For over 50 years, Herbert W. Armstrong warned that a German-led European combine would thresh the nations. When Germany lay in ashes after WWII, Mr. Armstrong had no doubt Germany would be back with a vengeance and he pounded this theme home through the pages of The Plain Truth magazine read by millions worldwide.

Jews Don't Follow Judaism
Why do Jews prefer to remain in a self-imposed exile? Doesn't Judaism teach Jews belong in the Promised Land of Israel? Isn't it the Jewish Homeland?

Will The Atlantic Times address the German threat?
It is not in Germany's mind today, or its present peaceful people, to wage war against us, but that will all change overnight, after a head-on collision with the Islamic leader of a confederation of Muslim states, their mahdi, whetting Europe's appetite for more blood and morphing the...

Is a World Dictator About to Appear?
The Plain Truth magazine announced in 1966, “Just as the Catholic Church once interposed her order on nations and peoples, she again is proposing to establish a ‘Christian order’ which alone is able to guarantee peace. To this goal the resources of the Church now are directed.’ So said the late Pope Pius in a Christmas broadcast on December 24, 1951” (Plain Truth, July 1966)....

The EU is a German Ruse
Bill Cash, MP, questions "The German Question" [The European Journal, April 2007] "of what and where is Europe?" when "Germany has not even established her own national identity, which remains strikingly unstable even after reunification... let alone found a directing principle which can hold the ramshackle European Union together...".

Bavarian Pope to Sweep Europe Off its Feet?
Watch for the pagan sorcerer-pope to start performing many supernatural deeds, counterfeit miracles, to mislead the masses and get them eating out of his hand to support the Vatican's elect to "defend" Europe and "Western Christian Civilization" and murder any who oppose them.

Catholic Europe in Vogue?
Are the Europeans about to restore the power and influence of their respective Royals? In Rome's mind, only an IMPERIAL RESTORATION can save mankind! That explains why the present pontiff has proclaimed that he's on a mission from God to unite Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals. How? By remodeling Europe after the grand design of the "Holy Roman Empire."

How Alan Greenspan Learned To Love the State

Alan Greenspan started off his political career, under Ayn Rand’s influence, as a fairly consistent Austro-libertarian. Nowadays, of course, while he still calls himself a libertarian, few would accuse him of excessive purity in that regard.

Apathetic Pastors And Christians Killing America

Apathetic Pastors And Christians Killing America
by Chuck Baldwin
April 1, 2008



America's most celebrated jurist, Daniel Webster (himself a dedicated Christian man), said, "God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it." Obviously, Christian men down through our history have personally and collectively shown themselves more than willing to "guard and defend" our liberties. From Bunker Hill to the Alamo, Christian men stood tall in the defense of America's freedom. So, it is more than a little disconcerting to realize that there is a sizeable percentage of today's Christians who seem completely unwilling to "guard and defend" liberty in these United States of America.

Oh, I know that almost all of our pastors and church leaders will laud and honor a young Christian man's decision to join our armed forces and go overseas to fight enemies abroad. But when it comes to opposing those within our own country who seek to dismantle constitutional government or the principles of liberty, their support for resistance turns to apathy and indifference. (The reason for this couldn't be because they simply don't want to do the hard work, could it? Please tell me it ain't so!)

I have even had Christians tell me that we should not make any attempts to resist draconian developments within our country, because doing so would actually be resisting God. The reasoning goes something like this: "The Bible says things will get worse and worse. Therefore, all this 'bad' stuff happening is God's will, and if we try to prevent it, we are fighting against God's will." I know it sounds incredible, but we might be shocked as to the number of professing Christians that actually subscribe to such nonsense.

Isn't it interesting, however, that these same Christians did not believe we were fighting against God's will when we sent hundreds of thousands of U.S. military forces (many of them Christians) to fight and destroy the evil regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq? If things are supposed to get worse and worse and we would be opposing God's will by resisting, why should we interfere in Iraq? Why should we send troops to Afghanistan, if we are not to resist evil?

And, of course, the bigger question is, If it is right to resist evil in a foreign country half way around the world, why is it not right to resist evil in our own country?

Furthermore, the same Christians that tell us we should not oppose any evil being perpetrated by those within our own government will scream about the importance of going to the polls in November and defeating the "evil" Democrats. But why? If Christians are not to resist evil, because the Bible says things will get worse and worse, why should we worry about who wins an election? In fact, it would seem that the best thing we could do would be to identify the absolute worst, most evil candidate we could find and vote for him (or her). After all, if God intends for things to get worse and worse, why don't we help Him out by assisting the efforts of evil people?

I wonder if Christians actually think about what they are saying?

When Jesus said, "resist not evil," (Matt. 5:39) did He mean that we should not oppose a would-be rapist or murderer? Did He mean we should not oppose those who would destroy our homes or country? I know a few honest pacifists. However, this is not the belief system of most Christians. Most Christians believe in lawful self-defense (including this writer).

The fact is, if it is right to oppose evil in Iraq (and I am among those who question the constitutional right and authority of the war in Iraq), it is right to oppose evil in America. If we Christians are willing to send our fellow believers to fight and die in opposition to tyranny half way around the world, it is right that we should be willing to fight and even die in opposition to tyranny right here at home. It is absolute lunacy for Christians to flippantly dismiss their moral, spiritual, and civil obligation to resist the tyrannical tendencies of corrupt political powers in these United States.

Christians are plainly commanded to resist the Evil One (James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:9). When Abraham's nephew, Lot, was taken captive by an alien army, did Abraham say, "Things are going to get worse and worse and there is nothing we can do about it"? Or did he gather his own army and attack the invaders and deliver his nephew (see Genesis chapter 14)?

During the dark days of Israel's captivities, did not God raise up deliverers to stand against the evildoers? When David saw Goliath, did he say, "Things are supposed to get worse and worse"? Or did he gather his sling and stones and march out to face the pagan?

The history of the early church in New Testament times is one continuous example of resistance to tyrannical authority. The apostles repeatedly refused to submit to the dictates and demands of both Jewish and Roman authorities. Every apostle, save John, was killed for resisting carnal authority.

Throughout church history, martyrdom was common. Some such as Huss and Tyndale died passively at the hands of various religious and political elements, while others such as Zwingli died on the battlefield resisting corrupt and tyrannical governments.

The fact is, for more than two thousand years of Church history--from John the Baptist to John Witherspoon--Christians have repeatedly and consistently resisted evil authorities. How dare pastors and Christians now say that we should not resist the evil, tyrannical tendencies of powerful politicos? How dare they suggest that it is "God's will" that we allow evil to triumph in our land?

Worse still is the apathy and indifference that many Christians display toward the great freedoms and liberties into which they have been born as Americans. We enjoy these great liberties, because our forebears (many of them Christians) were willing to fight and die to bequeath them to us. We do not enjoy the rights and freedoms enumerated in the Constitution and Bill of Rights and announced in the Declaration of Independence by chance or luck. These freedoms were secured by the blood, sweat, and tears of brave Americans who chose to fight evil in our own country.

America has enjoyed the blessings of liberty, because, as Webster said, our fathers and grandfathers were willing to "guard and defend" it. Will this be the generation that refuses to "guard and defend" liberty? Will this be the generation that permits the evil machinations of powerful, but corrupt, authorities to steal liberty from our posterity?

There is another statement by Daniel Webster that today's Christians need to take to heart: "There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our overthrow. Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence. I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing."

Should Webster's warning come true for America, it will be because our pastors and Christian leaders refused to "guard and defend" liberty in our own land. Should this happen, our tombstone will read, "Here lies the United States of America: killed by the apathy and indifference of its pastors and churches."

An Open Letter to the Secretary of State of the United States of America

An Open Letter to the Secretary of State of the United States of America
April 1, 2008

Dear Madam Secretary,

As a dual citizen of both Israel and the United States I assure you that I have genuine admiration and respect for both countries. I was born and educated in the United States and was always proud to be an American. It wasn’t until after I was married and the father of two children that I became an observant Jew. Part and parcel of my return to my Jewish roots was the need to return to the Land of our Fathers, Israel. I am proud to say that I have been living here now for nearly thirty years, raised my five children here, and am watching five grandchildren grow up here as well.

Ms. Rice, if you are one who truly believes the Bible as the Word of G-d, you should know that this Land was set aside by G-d as the homeland of the Jewish People. Look carefully in your Bible and try to find a connection with any nation other than the Jewish one. You won’t find it.

The Jewish People was chosen, by G-d, to return to our ancient homeland and become an example for all of the nations of the world by dedicating our lives to serving our Creator. It is only through the Jewish People that blessing will come to our world. We did not come here to dispossess anyone. We came home to fulfill our destiny as Jews and to obey the Commandments of our G-d. Such things can never be subject to compromise.

Madam Secretary, you know very well, as does President Bush, that there has never been a Palestinian nation. Ever since the rebirth of Jewish sovereignty in part of our ancient homeland began, and even before it began, the Arab nations sought to destroy the Jewish people. In 1948 we agreed to the miserable partition plan which left us with indefensible borders simply because we wanted to live in peace. The Arabs took our willingness to compromise as an expression of weakness and launched a war to destroy the Jewish nation. It was only via miracles that we survived that war. Had we lost there would be no Jewish state today.

The concept of an Arab Palestine was born with the PLO in 1964. It was a brilliant public relations ploy to change the image of an overwhelming Arab united front fighting a tiny Jewish State to appear as if a gigantic Jewish State was oppressing a tiny Arab minority. This ploy was the most successful lie to be perpetuated upon the world in its entire history. Today my own Prime Minister and most (if not all) of the Knesset has bought that lie. But the People of Israel has not. Contrary to popular belief, this country is not a genuine democracy. The people do have the right to vote for the dictator of their choice, but, after election day, they have absolutely no say in what our government does. I am telling you this because I want you to know that even though Mr. Olmert may have agreed to the ridiculous Road Map leading to disaster, the people of Israel have not.

Like it or not this country is still fighting the war for our independence. Having discovered the hard way that we cannot be defeated by conventional methods of warfare, the Arabs have begun to defeat us by changing the name of war. . . to peace. Yes there are negotiations going on. But they are not for the purpose of peace. The Arabs have learned that simply by implying a willingness to live in peace with Israel they can obtain otherwise impossible military victories and, eventually weaken the Jewish State enough to destroy her.

The clearest example of this fact is the unilateral abandonment of the Gaza Strip as a confidence building measure designed to encourage peace. After uprooting our citizens and destroying their homes and digging up our cemeteries to re bury our dead where their graves would not be desecrated and handing over the entire Gaza Strip to our enemies, the “thank you” we got was an incessant barrage of missiles from a new and well supplied terrorist stronghold on a new and closer border to our country.

Rather than recognize the failure of this stupid attempt to make peace and retake the Gaza Strip, our leaders have decided to live with terror and make plans for further acts of surrender to our enemies. I can assure you that the people of Israel do not agree with this stance. No normal person would.

Please forgive me, madam secretary, but I must take issue with your demands that Israel take down vital road blocks in order to give our enemies freedom of movement. In the past that freedom of movement resulted in cold blooded murder of Jews. No normal nation would place the comfort of its enemies, or even its friends, above protecting the lives of her citizens. Your threats to make sure we do this places your impartial status in grave doubt.

I fully understand and respect the fact that the United States must follow a policy which serves its best interests, even should that place the interests of others in jeopardy. But you also must understand that Israel has no choice but to formulate policies which serve her best interests, even should that conflict with the interests of others.

While the State Department may feel that America’s interests can be best served by placating Arab terrorists at the expense of the Jewish State, I would think that the President and you should realize the grave mistake you are making. Another terrorist state, especially one planted upon Jewish soil, will harm the interests of America and the entire world. Machmud Abbas is a terrorist murderer. To call him a peace partner is an act of self deception. There is no Palestinian people, only refugees from real Arab countries who are being used as pawns to gain sympathy for the effort to destroy Israel. The ruse is working too well.

Please tell your boss in the White House that he is placing the welfare of his great country in grave danger by opposing the will of the same G-d he claims to worship. America was founded upon Biblical principles. For its leadership to take steps to deny those principles is to sever its partnership with our Creator. Your founding fathers recognized and respected that partnership. It will be a genuine tragedy for their descendants to reject it, for that will be the downfall of the United States of America.

With Blessings from Hebron,

Gary M. Cooperberg
