Weekly News Summary 1 February 2018

US President Trump was in Davos, Switzerland to speak at the World Economic Forum (see Davos, Trump, Trade, and Brexit). Although he was reasonably well received there, many are concerned about his future trade policies. He alluded to some of them in his State of the Union address last night (see Trump’s ‘State of the Union’ raised trade war concerns). Various US trading partners are not pleased. This will not end well for the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39)–but there still is more time.

Estonia preparing for war, while North Korea ransacks farms for WWIII?

The government of Estonia is taking steps to prepare for possible war:

January 24, 2018

Last week, for the first time since World War II, Sweden’s government announced that it would soon distribute some 4.7 million civil defense brochures to its citizens, warning them about the onset of war.

In the latest installment of war preparations, Estonian public broadcaster ERR reports that the government of Estonia is preparing to send some 1.3 million civil defense brochures to its citizens, with instructions of what do in the event of a significant crisis or war, said Brig. Gen. Martin Herem of the Estonian Defence Forces in an interview with Postimees.

“When it will be published, I do not know. But work is in progress,” said Brig. Gen. Herem. According to the Postimees, the Ministry of the interior is currently “coordinating work on the brochure.”

Estonia, a former Soviet republic that borders Russia, is now a member of NATO, meaning the United States and Europe are obligated by treaties to defend it.  When analyst and policymakers war game scenarios between the United States and Russia, they usually point to the Estonia–Russia border as the highest probable area of where conflict in Europe could breakout besides Ukraine. …

War preparations in Europe appear to be in the final stages. European governments are now conditioning their civilian populations with manuals of what to expect in a wartime environment. Throughout history, this type of pre-conditioning usually occurs right before a major military operation.https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-23/estonia-issue-how-prepare-war-leaflets-13-million-citizens

As reported here last week, Swedish government is also taking steps (see Sweden is preparing for possible external or civil war!).

Notice also the following report about North Korea:

WW3 Preparations? Amidst Drought, North Korean Officials Raid Homes And Farms To Feed Army

North Korean officials are ransacking homes and raiding farms in order to feed their starving army.

Not only has the drought taken its toll on the nation, but this newest harsh seizure of food is causing internal clashes between the civilians and the army.

Soldiers for the communist regime had already been given long periods of leave in order to try to find food and make money to purchase food. However, it hasn’t been enough. Collective farms are suffering due to droughtand poor harvests, leading officials to ransack farms and homes in order to find any stored food or money that might benefit the army, Daily NK reports.

While North Korean citizens are used to officials searching for food and asking for bribes, their use of increasingly brutal tactics to feed a starving army has led to reported clashes between troops and citizens. Farms in the country have not been able to meet quotas, and in response, officials are giving them new assignments. …

Famine is believed to have previously killed millions of people in the hermit kingdom. The communist regime prioritizes sending food and resources to the military and high ranking government officials over its general population. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-23/ww3-preparations-amidst-drought-north-korean-officials-raid-homes-and-farms-feed

Jesus spoke of a time of wars, rumors of war, and famines:

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:4-8)

While what North Korea is preparing for is NOT WWIII, unknowingly, many Europeans are in the process of preparing for the next world war.

Contrary to the fears of some,WWIII will NOT be a major war between Europe and Russia.

World War Three will be be an attack by Europe against the USA (Daniel 11:39; see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses) and its Anglo-Saxon allies (cf. Daniel 8:24-25).

And Russia?

Russia will NOT be against Europe during that, but will support it.

While ultimately, Russia and various other Eurasians will turn against Europe, that will not happen until years after the start of WWIII.

Currently, North Korea is preparing for a possible war with the USA–but that will not be WWIII. Notice also the following:

Donald Trump, Warmongering, and the Red Horse of War

Various Europeans believe that Donald Trump has been ‘warmongering’ related to North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. They believe that Europe must lead and that the US President must learn from Europe. Jesus spoke of a time called the “beginning of sorrows” that included wars and rumors of war. Are we in the time of sorrows now? Could the red horse of the apocalypse be about to ride? Did the old WCG teach this was a future event in 1985? Does this ride start before or after the start of the “great tribulation”? What does the Bible show? Is Satan involved in this? What about Armageddon? How will all of this end? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.

Here is a link to our video: Donald Trump, Warmongering, and the Red Horse of War.

Irrespective of what happens to North Korea, the Bible shows that Europe will eliminate the USA, UK, Canada, etc. as well as later a confederation of nations in the Middle East and North Africa (Daniel 11:39-43).

WWIII will come. But it will be Europe, and NOT Russia, that is the primary instigator of it according to biblical prophecies.

The World Economic Forum began in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday–which is the same day the US government announced tariffs on certain products from China, South Korea, and other parts of Asia (see US to impose tariffs: China and South Korea unhappy trade targets). That was probably not a coincidence. Trade issues between the USA and other parts of the world are expected–that is part of why they were featured on the cover of the latest edition our
