If you have followed us for awhile, you probably know about Herbert W. Armstrong’s long-time prophecy that Britain would not be part of the new united Europe.
However, Mr. Armstrong long believed that France would be part of the seventh and final resurrection of the prophesied Holy Roman Empire.
How did he know this? He used the Bible as his guide!
Many of the modern French descended from the patriarch Reuben. The blessings God promised to Abraham, to Abraham’s son Isaac, and to Isaac’s son Jacob were promised to Jacob’s firstborn son, Reuben. But Reuben lost his birthright because he “defiled his father’s bed” (1 Chronicles 5:1-2). The birthright blessings went instead to Joseph, the firstborn son of Jacob’s other wife, Rachel.
Joseph grew up in a family environment rife with sibling rivalries. His brothers resented him because he was Jacob’s favorite. Joseph told his brothers about his vivid dreams that indicated his descendants would “reign over” those of his brothers. This made his brothers hate him all the more.
They hated him so much that they conspired to murder him! They wanted to kill him, cast him in a pit, and then tell their father that Joseph had been devoured by a ferocious beast. Reuben intervened to say they should leave him in the pit to die, planning to fetch him later. But before he could, the brothers decided to sell Joseph into slavery.
This is how Joseph ended up enslaved in Egypt (see Genesis 37). His own brothers sold him to the Midianites. By trying to “rescue” him in a roundabout way and not boldly standing up to his murderous other brothers, Reuben the firstborn betrayed his younger brother Joseph.
Your Bible says Reuben’s moderndescendants will again betray the latter-day descendants of Joseph—America and Britain! France will play “second fiddle” to Germany in the prophesied “beast” power of Revelation. But it will betray the natural allies it fought alongside in the first two world wars. Yes, the modern descendants of Reuben will play a treacherous role in “selling” their brother into captivity and slavery, just like Reuben himself did more than 3,700 years ago!
Now consider some of the headlines coming out of France in recent days. Last week, French President Emanuel Macron called for a “real European army.” The Times called it “his strongest language yet” for a military union. But that was far from the most provocative statement he made during the exchange with reporters. He said Europe needed a real army in order to protect itself from “China, Russia and even the United States of America” (emphasis added).
