Angela Merkel
Yesterday, Angela Merkel and other world leaders had a pre-observance of today's tenth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Angela Merkel was one of those to walk into the west that night across the gray iron bridge at Bornholmer Strasse in 1989.
However, what many do not realize that the late Herbert W. Armstrong predicted that Germany would reunited long before it occurred. TV Guide indicated that his statements "bordered on lunacy" in the early 1980s.
In a sermon by the late Dr. Hoeh at the Feast of Tabernacles in Tuscon, Arizona in October 1979, he explained that Herbert W. Armstrong believed that the two legs of the Beast in Daniel 2, with its two feet (vs. 33), represented both West and East Europe (including specifically Germany). He taught that this meant that the nations in Eastern Europe would ultimately not be under the power of the Soviet Union, but would become independent of it, and ultimately be part of a supranational European state.
A supranational state was approved by the last of the European Union members (the Czech Republic) on November 2, 2009. The state forms officially on December 1, 2009. Thus, the position of Herman Hoeh on this point has been shown to have been correct.
Right after the Berlin wall fell in November 1989, I was asked to give the closing prayer at church services in Fresno, California. In that prayer, I mentioned that we were witnessing prophecy being fulfilled right before our eyes. One of the reasons that I stated that was because many in that congregation seemed to be losing their zeal and belief about Bible prophecy. Many who once were believers, no longer love the ways of God and became scorners (Psalm 1).
Sadly, this has afflicted many throughout history. The prophecies of the Bible are coming to pass right before our eyes today. Jesus taught:
34 But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:34-36)
On this twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall, all should reflect on the fact that various prophecies will come to pass, and truly many have already done so.
