Daniel Unsealed at Last!

https://www.thetrumpet.com/literature/85/daniel-unsealed-at-last

What happens when God gives His Church new revelation? Satan always directs his most ferocious attack against God’s people. The Prophet Daniel battled mightily to receive God’s revelation, and recorded the struggle. Yet, in his lifetime he never understood what God gave him: He was told that the meaning of the revelation would come in “the time of the end.” Then he got even more specific and prophesied what would happen in the “last end”-or the end of the end time. That time is now! Imagine the fate of God’s people who understand and must deliver Daniel’s revelation! Still, they have a much greater power supporting them as they deliver the most important message in this world.

Has Germany’s Strongman Finally Arrived?

https://www.thetrumpet.com/article/13211.29.179.0/europe/has-germanys-strongman-finally-arrived

We have been prophesying of this for 70 years. Crises in Germany and Europe are reaching new heights. Watch what happens next. 

A Prophecy About a Strongman

One man who closely watched Strauss’s political career was Herbert W. Armstrong. He was founder and editor in chief of the Plain Truth newsmagazine, forerunner of the Philadelphia Trumpet. Mr. Armstrong observed world events closely, especially in Europe. He devoted much of his work and his message—which reached millions of people worldwide—to analyzing Germany in particular. Why? Because he studied and proclaimed Bible prophecy, and Bible prophecy forecasted not only that Germany would reunite, but that it would lead Europe once again—exactly what we are seeing today.

Bible prophecy gets specific about Germany’s future. Analysts say that Europe’s political unification project is about to fall apart without really ever having gotten started. But the Bible reveals that Europe will not only unite, but that it will become asuperpower! It specifies that it will consist of 10 nations, and that it will be glued together by the Vatican and powered by a political leader in Germany. A STRONGMAN.

God revealed symbols of future events to the Prophet Daniel. But interestingly, He did not explain to Daniel what those events would be. The prophecy was sealed until the “time of the end” (Daniel 8:17; 12:4, 9). Compare these events to today, however, and it is clear that these prophecies are for now! Daniel 8:23 describes a “king of fierce countenance” who rises to power not democratically, but “by flatteries” (Daniel 11:21). The Bible prophesies that this powerful leader will reign over the “king of the north” (Daniel 11:40). He will be from a war-making nation descended from ancient Assyria: Germany. Mr. Armstrong prophesied about a fierce king ruling a German-led federal European superpower—beginning in the 1930s! And even when Hitler rose to lead Germany, early on in World War II, Mr. Armstrong said the fulfillment of this prophecy was yet future. Now we are seeing it happen! The future of Europe is tied to this king of fierce countenance. We are watching for him.

Mr. Armstrong watched Franz Josef Strauss, a powerful man and a favorite of the Vatican, to see if he would fulfill the biblically prophesied role of Europe’s strongman. In a 1983 letter, Mr. Armstrong mentioned two “outstanding political leaders.” The first was Strauss; the second was Otto von Habsburg, who led the 700-year-old house of Habsburg, a dynasty that ruled the Holy Roman Empire for centuries. It is one of the most prestigious royal families in Europe. Habsburg was a leading member of the European Parliament who devoted his life to European unification. Both of these men, Strauss and Habsburg, forged personal friendships with Mr. Armstrong (sidebar, above).

Mr. Armstrong wrote, “The world appears bereft of ‘great men.’ But a world-recognized ‘strong man’ in all probability will now very soon appear. … There will be 10 [kings], ruling 10 nations or groups of nations in the area of the once-great Holy Roman Empire. But there will be one super-king over the 10″ (Plain Truth, May 1969).

Concerning that super-king, Mr. Armstrong wrote that Europe was “waiting for theconfidence-inspiring leader .…” Mr. Armstrong felt Franz Josef Strauss might be that leader. Yet Strauss died in 1988. Habsburg died in 2011. German strength and the dream of European unification, however, did not die with them. When Strauss first published his ideas, he knew he might not live to see his dreams carried out. “… I am under no illusions about the length of time it will take to set this sequence of events in train,” he wrote. “It might take a generation. … If the process is to take time, then it must be time put to good use.”

During Strauss’s day, the groundwork was laid for the fulfillment of the prophecies of a Vatican-German alliance and the rise of a German strongman. Still, those prophecies have yet to be fulfilled.

Though conditions weren’t quite ready for such a strongman to emerge then, THE STAGE IS SET FOR HIS APPEARANCE TODAY. THAT MAN IS OUT THERE SOMEWHERE—READY TO TAKE CONTROL OF EUROPE AND LITERALLY SHOCK THE WORLD!

How Christ Speaks to Us

 

Jesus Christ said that He speaks to His Church, and yet there are all kinds of interpretations of the Bible. Christ does not speak in conflicting or contradictory terms. Why is it people can't understand how Christ speaks to us? If we don't grasp how He speaks to us, we're going to be deceived.

What Do You Mean 'Kingdom of God'? - The Trumpet Daily

 


Why can’t all the churches agree on what is the Kingdom of God? Is it the Church? Is it something “set up in the hearts of men”? Is it "the god within you”? Is it “the Millennium”? Each of these is commonly taught today in the world of traditional Christianity. But not one of them is right.
When Jesus Christ began His earthly ministry, He proclaimed the gospel of the Kingdom of God. Yet few preachers even talk about the Kingdom of God today. Why is that? Because today’s churches have lost all knowledge of what it is! But the knowledge of the Kingdom of God is revealed in the pages of your Bible.

The truth about the Kingdom of God is a great mystery to this world. It’s also the most glorious good news to those whose minds have been opened to the truth of the Bible.
What does the Bible say about God’s Kingdom? On this episode of the Trumpet Daily, we look into the Bible to see what God says about His Kingdom.

Can Mankind Survive World War III With a Colony on Mars?

https://www.thetrumpet.com/article/13530.18.182.0/science/can-mankind-survive-world-war-iii-with-a-colony-on-mars

It’s true for individuals, and also for mankind as a whole. Relocating doesn’t solve our problems—because we are the problem. We can’t run away from ourselves.
God gave us Earth to care for: a vast, abundant, protected, resourceful, hospitable home—and look around: “All the trouble” here shows that we are not capable of successfully governing ourselves.
Musk is right that mankind is in grave danger of wiping itself out. Matthew 24:21-22 say our most destructive war lies still ahead. And it will be so violent that it would extinguish all human life from Earth barring a literal miracle. But if mankind were able to colonize another planet, we would only bring “all the trouble” with us. If we successfully built a Martian colony like the one Musk envisions, the 1 million people would soon split into factions and devise plenty of reasons to war against each other. It would not take long for Mars to have its own World War i.
The good news is that God has an inspiring plan for changing and healing the human nature that creates so many problems. Once He accomplishes this, then man will be able to fulfill the true potential God has given us. At that future time, mankind will have the chance to inhabit not just Mars, but the whole, vast universe!
