“We’ve Never Reached This Level Before”: German Scientists Smash Nuclear Fusion Record in Leap Toward Infinite Clean Energy
July 6, 2025

🌟 The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator in Germany has set a new record in nuclear fusion performance, pushing the boundaries of clean energy.
🔬 Stellarators are proving more effective than tokamaks in maintaining stable plasma, crucial for long-duration fusion reactions. …

By fusing isotopes of hydrogen at incredibly high temperatures, fusion promises a clean, abundant, and safe energy source. Unlike nuclear fission, which splits atoms and produces radioactive waste, fusion has the potential to be a virtually limitless energy source with minimal environmental impact. The process involves creating a superheated plasma where atoms collide and fuse, releasing vast amounts of energy. However, the challenge lies in recreating the conditions found in stars, where such reactions naturally occur, within the confines of a terrestrial reactor.
While current reactor designs consume more energy than they produce, the recent experiments at the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator represent a significant leap forward. By achieving new records in fusion performance, these experiments demonstrate the viability of fusion as a feasible energy source. …
Stellarators like the Wendelstein 7-X use powerful external magnets to control the high-energy plasma within a ring-shaped vacuum chamber, maintaining stability and high pressure. This design contrasts with tokamaks, which rely on a current passing through the plasma to generate the magnetic field. The external magnets of stellarators are more effective at stabilizing the plasma, which is crucial for long-duration fusion reactions.
The recent success of the W7-X stellarator in surpassing the performance of decommissioned tokamaks such as JT60U in Japan and JET in the UK highlights its potential. The ability to sustain plasma for longer periods is a significant milestone, bringing us closer to the goal of a commercially viable fusion reactor. https://www.rudebaguette.com/en/2025/07/weve-never-reached-this-level-before-german-scientists-smash-nuclear-fusion-record-in-leap-toward-infinite-clean-energy/

This project could greatly assist Europe and reduce its dependency on outside sources for fuel. The current W7-X cannot produce a self-sustaining fusion reaction (ignition), and its operation is orders of magnitude removed from the conditions needed for a fusion bomb. Yet, I suspect that it also has massive military potential.

The underlying fusion science and engineering—such as advanced superconducting magnets, plasma diagnostics, and control systems—could have indirect dual-use potential–like for military purposes. These technologies simply could be relevant to other high-energy physics or nuclear applications.

Furthermore, realize that hydrogen nuclear bombs are a type of fusion reaction:

The hydrogen bomb is a nuclear weapon that uses a mixture of fission and fusion to produce a massive explosion.Source: Boundless. “The Hydrogen Bomb.” Boundless Chemistry Boundless, 26 May. 2016. Retrieved 10 Dec. 2016 from https://www.boundless.com/chemistry/textbooks/boundless-chemistry-textbook/nuclear-chemistry-19/nuclear-fusion-138/the-hydrogen-bomb-548-6571/

So, yes there seems to be military potential with Germany’s project.

Germany used deuterium in WWII when it was trying to develop its own atomic weapons. The USA, with the help of German-born scientists, was able to do this first. But for WWIII, the Germans seem to be ahead.

Since the warring and prosperous Beast of Revelation 13 will be European (check out Europa, the Beast, and Revelation and also watch the YouTube video Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European?), I have long felt that technology would be the key to Europe’s prophesied military successes (Daniel 11:39-43) as well as a reason that it will eventually be crushed by a Eurasian power (cf. Daniel 11:44-45; Jeremiah 50:41-43).

Could the ramifications of the fusion reactor actually propel Europe to rise up?

Yes.

One of the biggest problems that Europe has is its need for energy and its dependence on foreign sources for energy. If instead of having to buy energy from outside sources, Europe generates its own power (and sells some of it), then Europe will have more money available to grow its own economy as well as support more militaristic ambitions.

The Bible itself shows that the Beast will have special help from “unclean spirits” (Revelation 16:13) and will be considered to be unconquerable (Revelation 13:4).

Notice what the Bible says about the European Beast’s military ability:

3…And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” (Revelation 13:3-4)

Notice that the military power of the Beast was something that the world will marvel, be astonished about.

Why?

Because despite fascination with war (Daniel 11:38), no one truly thought that the European Beast power had the military ability to defeat the USA with its Anglo-allies (Daniel 11:39), and then the Islamic King of the South (Daniel 11:40-43). Revelation 13:3-4 also supports the idea that the Beast may rise up because of violent civil unrest in Europe.

That Beast power will be European (for more biblical details, watch Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European?).

Technology seems to be the key to a powerful European military. One aspect could also include particle collider research. Europe now has the leading one in the world, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and Germany has been working on a more advanced one called FAIR (FAIR stands for the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research).

I have long believed that Germany’s FAIR, along with the LHC, the stellarator, and other technology, will help the Europeans produce military weaponry to fulfill certain end time prophecies. Since Revelation 13:4 is discussing what seems to be a unique type of warfare, this warfare likely includes certain high-tech weapons (such as electromagnetic pulse, neutron bombs, unique delivery systems, etc.) that will be effective for a while. The FAIR and the LHC projects are also likely to spin-off economic benefits that may help propel Europe to be (for a short while) the economic leader of the world (cf. Revelation 18).

Ultimately, the Europeans will be overcome by what appears to be a Russian-led, mainly Asian, confederation, cf. Jeremiah 50:41-43 & Daniel 11:44, possibly by exploiting some technological flaw, like creating a software virus, etc., while also amassing troops, etc.

The European Space Agency and other European programs related to technology are expected to bear fruit to the economic and military power of Europe. The public commitments from European nations to increase military spending to 5% of their GDPs will assist turning various technologies into military projects.

The possible use of stellarator fusion is one of several that can potentially propel the final rise of the coming power in Europe.

Europe is concerned about Russian aggression and the USA’s direction. Europe is moving forward with its space and military plans and few in the USA seem to realize that when it gets enough power, the USA will lose all of its. Specifically notice that the Bible shows that this King of the North will destroy those who are perceived to have the strongest military might and apparently divide up their land:

39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain (Daniel 11:39).

The “he” above is referring to a European leader called the King of the North in that chapter (Daniel 11:40) and the Beast from the sea in Revelation 13:1-10). The strongest fortresses in the world belong to the USA and to a much lessor extent, its English-speaking allies (for a more detailed explanation of why the USA and its Anglo-allies are involved, as well as the dividing of their lands, please see Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel). This passage about the “strongest fortresses” in Daniel 11:39 cannot be referring to the continental Europeans as they support the King of the North, nor can it be referring to the Russians, Chinese, or other Asians as they do not get involved until verse 44 (see also The Eurasian Union, the Kings of the East, and Bible Prophecy).

In the 21st century, it must be a reference to the USA.

Consider something from the Old Testament:

19 For the Lord brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had encouraged moral decline in Judah and had been continually unfaithful to the Lord. (2 Chronicles 28:19)

Might leaders like those in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand who seem to be encouraging biblically-moral declines cause their nations to be brought low?

The total destruction of the nation of the United States of America and its Anglo-Saxon descended allies is coming.

These lands need national repentance to delay their coming destruction (cf. Daniel 4:27). Pray (1 Timothy 2:1-3; Matthew 6:9-13; Luke 21:36; Colossians 4:2).

The Europeans are rising up and technology, as I have long written, will be one of the keys to enable it to do so.

Despise not prophecies (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

The world order is changing, European technology is rising, and the USA will not be able to remain on top indefinitely.

Some wish to believe otherwise, but the USA’s rising debt and moral decline will help insure that.

Europe is rising and the plasma-fusion project is part of the proof that Europe intends to use technology to rise up.

For those that think this could not happen to the USA, understand that Daniel 11:39 shows that a European power will destroy the ‘strongest fortresses’–which in the 21st century belong to the USA. Prophecy shows that the USA will be defeated, despite its military strength (see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses).

As far as Europe shifting to be to be more independent of the USA in trade and in military matters, we just uploaded the following related video:

14:26
European Union wants military independence from the USA
European Union wants to be militarily independent of the USA – check European Union wants a larger military – check European Union wants nukes – check European Union wants this for defensive purposes – Will Europe acquire a great army? Will Europe defeat the Biblical King of the South? Is Europe the King of the North? Will Europe defeat the King(s) from the east? Here’s a big question – will Europe conquer the United States of America? Is the United State of America mentioned in the Bible? These are fascinating questions that will be answered in the very near future. The fact that these conflicts will occur is a certainty as they are a prophesied fact in the Bible in the book of Daniel But when will these conflicts occur? Daniel was told to shut up the words, they were for the time of the end. Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. We are there. This is the time of the end. Dr. Thiel will shine the light on the answers to these questions. One answer, in particular, is sure to stun thousands.

Here is a link to our video: European Union wants military independence from the USA.

Europe is taking military steps and the US has been encouraging them.

This will not end well for the USA, even many Muslim countries (cf. Daniel 11:40-43), nor even Europe (cf. Daniel 11:39-45; Revelation 17:14).
