NATO is Falling Apart and the EU is Faltering

NATO is falling apartBoth organizations need to reinvent themselves and break free from US influence.

NATO‘s crisis didn’t begin with Trump’s disruptive policies. Trump’s wish to take over Greenland is merely the latest absurd turn in an increasingly illegitimate, imperialistic US policy. Previous presidents have also turned away from Europe and toward other regions. Barack Obama’s ‘Pivot to Asia’ and the NATO dispute over Bush’s Iraq War illustrate these divisions. The signals were certainly heard in Europe; however, over the past decades the political will and unity within Europe to take effective steps to break free from the dependencies of the US were insufficient.

Trump’s demand to increase military spending to five per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) should already have been a wake-up call for Europeans. A sober analysis of the defence weaknesses of the European part of NATO quickly reveals that the problem isn’t a lack of funds. According to NATO, European NATO countries have spent around $3.5 trillion during the last decade. That is not too little. The problem is that these resources are being spent in typical European parochialism—in each individual country, without a convincing common strategy. The result: Waste occurs through duplication in arms procurement. The arms manufacturers in the various countries are rejoicing.

European governments have submitted to Trump’s dictates instead of focusing on their own strengths and finding a united response. To keep Trump happy and supportive of Ukraine, the European NATO countries signalled their willingness to soon allocate the desired five per cent of their GDP to military spending and, of course, to buy weapons from the US. The line of European sycophants to Washington, spearheaded by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, is growing ever longer.

Now, with Trump’s announcements of wishing to annex Greenland, with the blatant US attack on an ally, the realization seems to have dawned that this supposed partner in Washington cannot be relied upon. Europeans should clearly distance themselves from the US’s gunboat diplomacy in the Caribbean, from its threats against other countries, from its search for spheres of influence, and from its colonial ambitions.

It is time to act to achieve European independence by building a European defence alliance. Such an alliance should not be guided by geopolitical rivalries or imperialist ambitions cultivated in various forms by the USA, China, and Russia. Instead of fatalistically looking to Washington and waiting for the next blunder by the chaotic president, European independence or autonomy is essential. This would strengthen Europe’s position vis-à-vis both the Trump administration and Russia. This is not a new idea. As early as 1978, the European Parliament published its first report which called for better cooperation on defence within the EU.


Headlines are continuing to show that something will divide the USA and Europe and they will separate from NATO and this is based on Bible Prophecy.  But its surprising how fast things are changing and few if any would have seen this coming.

What is also interesting is the EU is saying they need to Re-Arm and President Emmanual Macron says that the EU needs hundreds of billions in defense spending.

President Macron is also on record saying he wants to bring Russia back to the negotiating table and begin dialogue on some form of a Security Pact with Russia, NATO’s existence in its current form will be an issue even more so now.

The Bible has long revealed that Russia and an EU Army will enter into a final conflict with Israel and the Middle East.  Germany is the key country in what Bible Prophecy refers to as the land of “Magog”. They are spoken of militarily as the “King of the North”.  Together the Bible says that Russia and the EU will invade the Middle East in the Last Days.  So Bible Students expect to see Germany and France taking a greater role in leading Europe.  It is also interesting to see Germany taking greater control of a continent they tried to take by war and failed.

Yet again we see in Todays News Headlines words that show how the Nations are fulfilling the latter day alignment of Nations as Prophesied by the Bible.

‘Every second counts’ –Doomsday Clock moves closer to midnight January 2026 Doomsday Clock moves closer to midnight

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists have moved the Doomsday Clock closer to midnight than ever before. The clock is now 85 seconds to midnight, the closest it has come to catastrophe since its debut 80 years ago.

Last year, the clock was set at 89 seconds to midnight. Alexandra Bell, president and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, warned that “every second counts, and we are running out of time.”

The Doomsday Clock was first created in 1947 during the Cold War, when the United States and the Soviet Union were heading into a nuclear arms race.

The Doomsday Clock is a design that warns the public about how close we are to destroying our world with dangerous technologies of our own making. It is a metaphor, a reminder of the perils we must address if we are to survive on the planet.

When the Doomsday Clock was created in 1947, the greatest danger to humanity came from nuclear weapons, in particular from the prospect that the United States and the Soviet Union were headed for a nuclear arms race. The Bulletin considered possible catastrophic disruptions from climate change in its hand-setting deliberations for the first time in 2007.

See Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists DoomsDay Clock


This clock has moved closer to the so called DoomsDay every year but will this ever be a reality?

The bible says that God will not allow man to destroy the earth, but rather he will destroy those who seek to destroy the earth.

Revelations 11:18

“18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.”

Will the Earth ever be Destroyed?

Europe and U.S. relations are facing their “lowest moment” since NATO came into being, former European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said, as Washington’s disruptive approach to diplomacy forces allies to reexamine the transatlantic relationship.

“There are some doubts about the relationship with the United States,” Barroso, also former prime minister of Portugal, said in an interview with CNBC’s “The China Connection” on Monday, pointing to a loss of trust that extends beyond the European Union to include the U.K.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s aim to acquire Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, including threats of possible military action and higher tariffs on European nations, has shaken confidence in the U.S. among European leaders and the public.

The relationship between Europe and the U.S. has become increasingly driven by interests, shifting away from the traditional model of being based on shared “democratic values,” Barroso said, describing the moment as a “rupture phase” in which it remains unclear “where we are going from now.”

While Trump pulled back from a maximalist position, ruling out the use of military force and retreating from his threat of imposing tariffs on European nations aimed at pressuring them to help the U.S. acquire the island, he is sticking with his aim of exerting control on the Arctic territory.

In a social media post last week after a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump said there is “the framework of a future deal” on Greenland, without disclosing any details or whether Denmark had agreed to a deal. Rutte later said the issue of Greenland’s ownership did not come up in his talks with Trump.

Barroso described Trump as “the great disruptor” who is sometimes “more tough with allies and friends, than with opponents.”

Only 16% of Europeans view the U.S. as an ally that shares the same values, down from 21% in 2024, with a “striking” 20% seeing the U.S. as a rival or an enemy, according to a survey conducted in November by the European Council on Foreign Relations, an international think tank.

That collapse of trust was stark in the U.K. which saw the share drop to 25%, from 37% a year earlier.


Something will divide the USA and Europe and they will separate from NATO and this is based on Bible Prophecy.  But its surprising how fast things are changing and few if any would have seen this coming.

What is also interesting is the EU is saying they need to Re-Arm and President Emmanual Macron says that the EU needs hundreds of billions in defense spending.

President Macron is also on record saying he wants to bring Russia back to the negotiating table and begin dialogue on some form of a Security Pact with Russia, NATO’s existence in its current form will be an issue even more so now.

Here’s what US president said

US President Donald Trump warned the US could leave NATO if allies do not back his bid to acquire Greenland, calling it vital for national security. He also threatened tariffs on countries opposing the plan, despite European allies deploying troops and voicing opposition.

US President Donald Trump on Friday (Jan 16) warned that the United States may pull out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) if America’s allies do not agree to its bid to acquire Greenland. This comes after Trump threatened to impose tariffs on nation that don’t back his plan of acquiring the Arctic territory.

When asked by a reporter whether he would “pull out of NATO if it doesn’t help you acquire Greenland,” Trump responded by saying, “We’re going to see.”

“NATO has been dealing with us on Greenland, we need Greenland for national security very badly. If we don’t have it we have a very big hole in terms of national security, especially in terms of the Golden Dome,” Trump added. He was referring to the multi-layer missile defence system that he believes is reliant on seizing control of Denmark’s Arctic territory.

Trump earlier threatened to impose tariffs on countries that don’t support his plan to take over Greenland. Speaking at an event in the White House, Trump referred to the tariffs he slapped on pharmaceutical imports from the EU as part of his efforts to lower drug prices in the US, and said, “I may do that for Greenland too. I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security.”

On Wednesday (Jan 14), the US president said that the United States need Greenland for its national security interests, warning that Russia or China could otherwise attempt to gain control of the strategically located Arctic territory.

Meanwhile, NATO allies including Britain, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden have deployed some troops to Greenland against Trump’s repeated threats. In response, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told a briefing that the employment of European troops in Greenland has no impact on Trump’s plans to take over Greenland.


Something everyone said would never happen will happen, whatever the reason and whenever the cause, Europe and America will separate from NATO and this is based on Bible Prophecy.  But its surprising how fast things are changing and few if any would have seen this coming.

NATO vs USA over Greenland

Is NATO about to collapse?

Is NATO about to collapse?

Published: January 8 2026

The United States is openly threatening to take Greenland, a self-governing territory linked to Denmark and therefore to NATO.
That creates a crisis no one planned for. What happens when a NATO member threatens another NATO member?

NATO vs USA over GreenlandBut this is not about Greenland alone. It is about whether collective security, international law, and European sovereignty still mean anything. In political economy, this is a massive deal affecting all our futures.

Venezuela has been invaded.

Its President has been seized.

The international legal order is in disarray.

And   what is Europe wanting to talk about? Greenland.

Greenland has become the epicentre of European concern over this issue   because, well, Venezuela is a long way away, and Trump’s threat to Greenland, made repeatedly, now feels very real, and it’s an existential threat to NATO and to international law, and that makes it worth talking about.

Let’s be clear. Greenland is enormous.  It’s about a quarter of the size of Europe, but it has a population of just 50,000 or so people, and   that combination matters. It has a small population and a huge landmass. It’s almost impossible to defend, but it has a strategic location, and that makes it of interest to Trump.

But there is no legal justification for the claim that he’s making that the US must take possession of Greenland.  It does not threaten US security. There is no   conceivable UN mandate for the USA taking over Greenland, and there is, therefore, no lawful basis under international law on which he can claim the right to this territory. But Donald Trump keeps repeating the claim that he wants it, and that alone should alarm us.

The real motive that Trump has is, after all, about extractive fantasy. He wants Greenland because he believes that when the ice melts, which his friends in the petrochemical industry are doing all they can to help,  there will be vast mineral wealth beneath the Greenland tundra. It does   not matter that there may be no market by the time that the ice cap has melted. He believes there will be value, and that is what this is about. Even though the possibility of realising that value is next to zero, he wants to control it, and  Greenland’s current status as a self-governing territory of Denmark is, in his opinion, an impediment to that.


Something everyone said would never happen will happen, whatever the reason and whenever the cause, Europe and America will separate from NATO and this is based on Bible Prophecy.  But its surprising how fast things are changing and few if any would have seen this coming.

What is also interesting is the EU is saying they need to Re-Arm and President Emmanual Macron says that the EU needs hundreds of billions in defense spending.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has pushed back against calls for Europe to break away militarily from the United States, arguing that Washington remains a dependable security partner despite growing doubts inside the EU.

“I am absolutely convinced that the United States stands fully behind NATO. There is no doubt about that,” Rutte told the German Press Agency (dpa) Friday, rejecting the need for Europe to pursue full defense independence from the U.S.

Rutte said Europe must take on greater responsibility for its own security, including higher defense spending, but he stressed that this should happen with the United States rather than outside the transatlantic framework. The U.S., he said, would remain militarily engaged in Europe and committed to the alliance.

Rutte’s remarks were a direct response to recent comments by Manfred Weber, the leader of the European People’s Party, who questioned whether Europe can continue to rely on Washington amid political uncertainty in the U.S. In an interview with Funke Media Group, Weber argued that Europe must be prepared to act more autonomously.

“We cannot seriously expect Trump to secure a peace solution on his own with American GIs,” Weber said, calling for European soldiers to operate under a European flag as part of future security arrangements in Ukraine.

The exchange comes amid a broader debate in Europe over strategic autonomy as the EU ramps up defense spending and prepares for a more volatile geopolitical environment. While many leaders agree that Europe must do more militarily, Rutte has warned against framing the effort as a decoupling from NATO.

He has noted that most of the defense alliance’s economic and military power still lies outside the EU, above all in the United States, making transatlantic cooperation indispensable.


Something everyone said would never happen will happen, Europe and America will separate from NATO and this is based on Bible Prophecy.  But its surprising how fast things are changing and few if any would have seen this coming.

What is also interesting is the EU is saying they need to Re-Arm and President Emmanual Macron says that the EU needs hundreds of billions in defense spending.

The Rise of Antisemitism

The Rise of Antisemitism Around the World

Rising Antisemitism in Australia Since the Gaza War

Dec 15, 2025 5:45 AM NZT

By Nandika Chatterjee

Two gunmen shot at a crowd of beachgoers in Sydney, Australia, killing at least 16 people and wounding at least 40 during aThe Rise of Antisemitism Jewish holiday event at Bondi Beach on Sunday, in what Australian authorities are calling a terrorist attack.

​​The attack, which targeted an event marking the first day of Hanukkah at the popular tourist destination, is the latest and most deadly in a string of antisemitic incidents that have blighted Australia since the onset of the war in Gaza in October 2023.

The subsequent sixteen months were sullied by firebombing, arson, graffiti, and hate speech incidents that prompted Mike Burgess, the Director-General of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), to proclaim that his top priority in terms of threat to life is antisemitism.

Australia, a country of 28 million people, is home to about 117,000 Jews. Figures from the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ) show that antisemitic incidents in Australia have reached historically high levels, at “almost five times the average annual number before October 7, 2023.” The group documented 1,654 anti‑Jewish incidents across Australia between Oct. 1, 2024, and Sept. 30, 2025, in addition to 2,062 incidents nationwide the year before.


The Rise of Antisemitism around the World is not unexpected as it is complete alignment of Bible Prophecy as the scattered People of Israel decendant are have been “fished” from around the land to return to their land and now we are seeing them being “hunted” in fulfilment of Bible Prophecy.

The Prophet Jeremiah lists two phases to the return of the Jews to the land: the phase of fishers (the age of persuasion), andReturn of the Jewish People to the land of Israel the phase of hunters, where they will be pushed by persecution. In this week’s Bible in the News, we see that the hunter phase is now becoming the reality that Jews of the diaspora are facing in everyday life.  Here is the full passage from Jeremiah 16:

“14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 15 But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers. 16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish (persuade) them; and after will I send for many hunters (Anitsemitism striking terror into them), and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. 17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. 18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things. 19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. 20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? 21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.”

The God of Israel wants all his special chosen people to return to the land nad many will prior to the return of Christ but the rest will only return once Christ has returned through the work of Elijah the property.

WASHINGTON, Dec 5 (Reuters) – The United States wants Europe to take over the majority of NATO’s conventional defense capabilities, from intelligence to missiles, by 2027, Pentagon officials told diplomats in Washington this week, a tight deadline that struck some European officials as unrealistic.

The message, recounted by five sources familiar with the discussion, including a U.S. official, was conveyed at a meeting in Washington this week of Pentagon staff overseeing NATO policy and several European delegations.

The shifting of this burden from the U.S. to European members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization would dramatically change how the United States, a founding member of the post-war alliance, works with its most important military partners.

In the meeting, Pentagon officials indicated that Washington was not yet satisfied with the strides Europe has made to boost its defense capabilities since Russia’s expanded invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

The U.S. officials told their counterparts that if Europe does not meet the 2027 deadline, the U.S. may stop participating in some NATO defense coordination mechanisms, said the sources, who requested anonymity to discuss private conversations.


This article shows that America is still pressuring Europe to step up militarily to take charge of their own defense. This will lead to fulfilment of Bible Prophecy with Russia being allied to Europe at the time of the end with a large army under a NATO like command and control.  President Emmanual Macron has also been on record saying that he wants to bring Russia back to the negotiating table and begin dialogue on some form of a Security Pact with Russia.

NATO must cease to exist and will most likely morph into the command and control centre for a European Army that is allied with Russia and with Russia taking a leading role to fulfil the Bible Prophecy that Russia will be a ‘Guard’ under Europe.

The Bible has long revealed that Russia and an EU Army will enter into a final conflict with Israel and the Middle East.  Germany is the key country in what Bible Prophecy refers to as the land of “Magog”. They are spoken of militarily as the “King of the North”.  Together the Bible says that Russia and the EU will invade the Middle East in the Last Days.  So Bible Students expect to see Germany and France taking a greater role in leading Europe.  It is also interesting to see Germany taking greater control of a continent they tried to take by war and failed.

Peace in the Middle East 2025

The Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity

The Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity

  Published: October 13, 2025

We, the undersigned, welcome the truly historic commitment and implementation by all parties to the Trump Peace Agreement, ending more than two years of profound suffering and loss — opening a new chapter for the region defined by hope, security, and a shared vision for peace and prosperity.

We support and stand behind President Trump’s sincere efforts to end the war in Gaza and bring lasting peace to the Middle East.  Together, we will implement this agreement in a manner that ensures peace, security, stability, and opportunity for all peoples of the region, including both Palestinians and Israelis.

We understand that lasting peace will be one in which both Palestinians and Israelis can prosper with their fundamental human rights protected, their security guaranteed, and their dignity upheld. 

We affirm that meaningful progress emerges through cooperation and sustained dialogue, and that strengthening bonds among nations and peoples serves the enduring interests of regional and global peace and stability.

We recognize the deep historical and spiritual significance of this region to the faith communities whose roots are intertwined with the land of the region — Christianity, Islam, and Judaism among them.  Respect for these sacred connections and the protection of their heritage sites shall remain paramount in our commitment to peaceful coexistence.

We are united in our determination to dismantle extremism and radicalization in all its forms.  No society can flourish when violence and racism is normalized, or when radical ideologies threaten the fabric of civil life.  We commit to addressing the conditions that enable extremism and to promoting education, opportunity, and mutual respect as foundations for lasting peace.

We hereby commit to the resolution of future disputes through diplomatic engagement and negotiation rather than through force or protracted conflict.  We acknowledge that the Middle East cannot endure a persistent cycle of prolonged warfare, stalled negotiations, or the fragmentary, incomplete, or selective application of successfully negotiated terms.  The tragedies witnessed over the past two years must serve as an urgent reminder that future generations deserve better than the failures of the past.

We seek tolerance, dignity, and equal opportunity for every person, ensuring this region is a place where all can pursue their aspirations in peace, security, and economic prosperity, regardless of race, faith, or ethnicity.

We pursue a comprehensive vision of peace, security, and shared prosperity in the region, grounded in the principles of mutual respect and shared destiny.

In this spirit, we welcome the progress achieved in establishing comprehensive and durable peace arrangements in the Gaza Strip, as well as the friendly and mutually beneficial relationship between Israel and its regional neighbors.  We pledge to work collectively to implement and sustain this legacy, building institutional foundations upon which future generations may thrive together in peace.

We commit ourselves to a future of enduring peace.

Is this the Peace that must come to the Middle East prior to Christ’s Return and the Battle of Armageddon, the Bible is very clear on this as EzekielPeace in the Middel East 38 shows.  Ezekiel 38 describes the Battle of Armageddon and the situation Israel at that time and it says that when Gog and Magog (Russia and Europe) come down to invade Israel will be a land at peace with “unwalled villages” which is a long way from anything we have seen so far.  This is what we read…

The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshek and Tubal; prophesy against him and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshek and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. Persia, Cush x and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.

10 “ ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. 11 You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. 12 I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land.”

So one of the key outcomes we can expect to see from the recent wars is more Arab countries joining the Abrahamic Accords and settling for Peace and Prosperity instead of war.

This has been Presidents Trumps goal from his first term when he established the Abrahamic Accords, will he now bring Peace to the Middle East.

Pax Israelica

The New Middle East: Pax Israelica?

The New Middle East: Pax Israelica?

Has Israel become the superpower of the Middle East?

Published: July 21, 2025
On October 6th, 2023, the eve of the October 7th attacks, Israel faced perhaps its most perilous strategic environment in half a century. Hamas was poised to launch its deadliest assault since the Yom Kippur War of 1973. To the north, Hezbollah boasted 100,000 trained fighters and an estimated arsenal of 120,000 missiles. Iran stood dominant, its nuclear weapons program advancing and its regional influence expanding, backed by the Houthis in Yemen, militias in Iraq, Assad in Syria, and its proxies in Gaza and Lebanon. This “Ring of Fire” encircled Israel, threatening overwhelming retaliation should it strike Iran’s nuclear facilities. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden was seen as a restraining force on any Israeli pre-emptive action.

Less than two years later, that landscape is unrecognisable. Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iraq’s militias, and Assad’s Syria have either severed ties with Iran, been severely degraded, or ceased to pose serious threats. Iran itself endured a humiliating twelve-day war that crippled its air defences, damaged its nuclear infrastructure, and exposed its vulnerability to Israeli military supremacy. Despite years of anti-Israel rhetoric, when the confrontation came, Tehran’s fury proved futile.

This dramatic reversal has led some to dub the new era “Pax Israelica,” or as Le Monde’s Gilles Paris styled it, “Pax Hebraica.” A “Pax,” as defined by Merriam-Webster, is “a period of general stability in international affairs under the influence of a dominant military power.” Like Pax Romana or Pax Americana, it marks an era where one power’s dominance enforces regional peace.

Paris wrote that in mere months, Israel has become “the sheriff of the Middle East.” He described Israel’s bombings as “a final epitaph to the blindness of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar,” who, in his miscalculation, dismantled the entire “axis of resistance” carefully cultivated by Iran over decades.

The October 7th war elevated Israel from a marginalised presence to a respected regional superpower. That does not mean every neighbouring nation suddenly embraces Israel, but it does suggest a shift in geopolitical calculus. Opposing Israel now appears self-defeating, while cooperation might enhance national interests and global influence. The prospect of Syria joining the Abraham Accords, once laughable, is now a subject of serious discussion. As for Saudi Arabia, its accession to the Accords feels less like an “if” and more like a “when.”

Recent events in southern Syria underscore this new reality. Following internal clashes involving the Druze community, Israel intervened militarily to stabilise the region. Syria responded not with defiance, but with negotiation. Reuters reported that Israel had agreed with the Syrian government to allow Syrian troops into Sweida for 48 hours to quell the unrest. The notion of Israel dictating military deployment within sovereign Syrian territory would have been unthinkable in decades past. That kind of influence, commanding terms over another state’s internal affairs, is the hallmark of a superpower. For comparison, it echoes the United States’ sway over Ukrainian wartime decisions.

Pax IsraelicaIf indeed we are witnessing the emergence of a Pax Israelica, then Israel is not just surviving, but imposing peace, a long-anticipated development for Bible students. The modern rebirth of Israel in 1948 and its capture of Jerusalem in 1967 fulfilled prophecy, but lasting peace always seemed elusive. Ezekiel 38 speaks of Israel as “a land of unwalled villages… dwelling safely.” That has never yet described Israel.

For decades, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has served as a convenient tool for regional powers. Palestinians remain uniquely designated as perpetual refugees, unable to assimilate, their plight prolonged by external actors who simultaneously fuel and exploit the conflict. It stands to reason that those who sustained it could also dismantle it, if political will aligns.

In a wholly different context, Lenin observed, “There are decades where nothing happens, and weeks where decades happen.” That sentiment fits the velocity of change in the Middle East today. We may be witnessing the unfolding of an era once thought inconceivable, a Pax Israelica where Israel not only secures peace but embodies regional leadership.

A recent Jerusalem Post headline declared, “Israelis now safer than at any other time in a generation.” And so we recall the biblical warning, perhaps first spoken of AD 70 but echoed today: “When they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them… Therefore let us not sleep, as do others, but let us watch and be sober.”

By Bible In The News


Peace must come to the Middle East prior to Christ’s Return and the Battle of Armageddon, the Bible is very clear on this as EzekielPeace in the Middel East 38 shows.  Ezekiel 38 describes the Battle of Armageddon and the situation Israel at that time and it says that when Gog and Magog (Russia and Europe) come down to invade Israel will be a land at peace with “unwalled villages” which is a long way from anything we have seen so far.  This is what we read…

The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshek and Tubal; prophesy against him and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshek and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. Persia, Cush x and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.

10 “ ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. 11 You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. 12 I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land.”

So one of the key outcomes we can expect to see from the recent wars is more Arab countries joining the Abrahamic Accords and settling for Peace and Prosperity instead of war.

This has been Presidents Trumps goal from his first term when he established the Abrahamic Accords, will he now bring Peace to the Middle East.

Peace in the Middel East

Trump must lead the way to Middle East Peace

Trump must lead the way to a comprehensive Middle East peace deal

Opinion Middle Eastern politics & society  By LANA NUSSEIBEH Published 2nd July 2025

Trump must lead the way to a comprehensive Middle East peace deal Directly after Iran’s egregious June 23 attack on Qatar, the United Arab Emirates joined our Gulf partners at an emergency Gulf Cooperation Council meeting in Doha. We affirmed the indivisibility of our collective security, and offered practical pathways forward. The latest round of fighting should not have surprised anyone. It is the result of decades of missed opportunities and ineffective leadership, and the proliferation of proxy conflicts that have undermined the chances for lasting peace for all

For years, two false notions have taken hold in the Middle East: first, that force alone can secure stability and security. Second, that states in our region can be built securely on the basis of a zealous ideology. In fact, military victories in the Middle East are often hollow and fragile and extremist ideology can never create safe, stable and successful societies.

As the window to de-escalate closes, there is an opportunity for US President Donald Trump to forge a second-term legacy of peace in the Middle East, by building on his landmark first-term achievement: the Abraham Accords. Over the past 20 months of war in Gaza and the ongoing expansion of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, UAE leaders have worked relentlessly with regional and international partners to advance ceasefire efforts. Through diplomacy and engagement with all sides, the UAE has consistently stressed the need to restore dialogue.

Last week, the GCC asked Trump to go even further. While commending him for “achieving a ceasefire between Iran and Israel”, Gulf states called on him “to exert efforts to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Gaza”. The ongoing war in Gaza is the consequence of a collective failure tobuild inclusive, just and sustainable peace. The conflicts that followed in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran have left the region at the precipice.

The path we choose now will shape the Middle East’s future for decades, just as when its destiny and borders were defined by outside powers at the end of the first world war. Today, the region lies at the heart of global stability; its waterways are the lifeline of global trade.


Peace must come to the Middle East prior to Christ’s Return and the Battle of Armageddon, the Bible is very clear on this as EzekielPeace in the Middel East 38 shows.  Ezekiel 38 describes the Battle of Armageddon and the situation Israel at that time and it says that when Gog and Magog (Russia and Europe) come down to invade Israel will be a land at peace with “unwalled villages” which is a long way from anything we have seen so far.  This is what we read…

Invest in defence now or start learning Russian

Invest in defence now or start learning Russian, NATO secretary general says

USA and NATOBy Shona Murray  Published on 08/06/2025 – 14:46 GMT

The US has appointed a new Supreme Allied Commander to Europe (SACEUR), much to the relief of NATO allies. Ahead of a major summit in The Hague later this month, allies have agreed to raise spending to 5% of GDP and invest in new capabilities designed to deter the threat of attack from Russia.

The US administration nominated Lt Gen Alexus G Grynkewich as both the next top US general in Europe and NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander to Europe (SACEUR), an appointment confirmed by the alliance on Friday.

The appointment by Trump will be especially welcomed following recent media reports that the US has been considering relinquishing the role of SACEUR, which has traditionally been appointed by a US president to NATO. 

“It’s a very important decision and there is relief from NATO’s point of view as it’s a positive sign of American engagement and staffing,” a US-based source familiar with the issue told Euronews. 

US Army General Dwight D Eisenhower was NATO’s first SACEUR in 1951, and the role has remained with Washington ever since. 

“Upon completion of national confirmation processes, Grynkewich will take up his appointment as the successor to General Christopher G Cavoli, United States Army, at a change of command ceremony at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe in Mons, Belgium, expected in the summer of 2025,” a statement from NATO read. 


The Secretary General of NATO is very much aware of what he is saying with the looming threat of Russia hanging over Europe.  Unfortunately for Europe Bible Prophecy says they will join Russia at the time of the end and be united with Russia both politically and militarally.  President Emmanual Macron has also been on record saying that he wants to bring Russia back to the negotiating table and begin dialogue on some form of a Security Pact with Russia.

NATO must cease to exist and will most likely morph into the command and control centre for a European Army that is allied with Russia and with Russia taking a leading role to fulfil the Bible Prophecy that Russia will be a ‘Guard’ under Europe.

The Bible has long revealed that Russia and an EU Army will enter into a final conflict with Israel and the Middle East.  Germany is the key country in what Bible Prophecy refers to as the land of “Magog”. They are spoken of militarily as the “King of the North”.  Together the Bible says that Russia and the EU will invade the Middle East in the Last Days.  So Bible Students expect to see Germany and France taking a greater role in leading Europe.  It is also interesting to see Germany taking greater control of a continent they tried to take by war and failed.

Yet again we see in Todays News Headlines words that show how the Nations are fulfilling the latter day alignment of Nations as Prophesied by the Bible as NATO must come to an end.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz

The Trump effect Germany makes bombshell NATO spending

The Trump effect Germany makes bombshell NATO spending announcement following pressure from US president

By OLIVIA ALLHUSEN

Published: 01:36 AEST, 16 May 2025 | Updated: 03:05 AEST, 16 May 2025

German Chancellor Friedrich MerzGermany‘s new government surprised NATO allies on Thursday by putting forward plans to boost defence spending, to meet a target of five percent of GDP demanded by US President Donald Trump.

Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul made the pledge a day after German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, in office for just over a week, said his coalition government intends to have ‘the strongest conventional army in Europe’.

NATO chief Mark Rutte has floated a plan for members to hit the five-percent goal by spending 3.5 percent of GDP on military spending and 1.5 percent on other security measures such as infrastructure and cyber defence.

Wadephul, speaking at a NATO meeting in Turkey, pointed to Rutte’s proposal to reach ‘the five percent that President Trump demanded’ and declared that ‘we follow him there’.

In Berlin, Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil struck a more cautious note, saying that ‘we will spend more on security, but how much that will be we will see in the agreement reached at the NATO summit’ to take place next month in The Hague.

Roderich Kiesewetter, a former senior German military officer and a politician in Merz’s CDU party, called the announced move a ‘paradigm shift’, in an interview with the Bild daily.

He added that ‘it won’t happen overnight, but it has to happen’. 


This is interesting News as Germany is a key part of the area of Magog referred to in Bible Prophecy that will be allied to Russia at the time of the end and will have a large army.  President Emmanual Macron has also been on record saying that he wants to bring Russia back to the negotiating table and begin dialogue on some form of a Security Pact with Russia.

NATO must cease to exist and will most likely morph into the command and control centre for a European Army that is allied with Russia and with Russia taking a leading role to fulfil the Bible Prophecy that Russia will be a ‘Guard’ under Europe.

The Bible has long revealed that Russia and an EU Army will enter into a final conflict with Israel and the Middle East.  Germany is the key country in what Bible Prophecy refers to as the land of “Magog”. They are spoken of militarily as the “King of the North”.  Together the Bible says that Russia and the EU will invade the Middle East in the Last Days.  So Bible Students expect to see Germany and France taking a greater role in leading Europe.  It is also interesting to see Germany taking greater control of a continent they tried to take by war and failed.

White House proposes drastic cuts to funding for UN and NATO

White House proposes drastic cuts to State Department and funding for UN and NATO and other groups

By  MATTHEW LEE and FARNOUSH AMIRI   Published: 1:31 PM GMT+12, April 15, 2025

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House’s Office of Management and Budget has proposed gutting the State Department’s budget by almost 50%, closing a number of overseas diplomatic missions, slashing the number of diplomatic staff, and eliminating funding for nearly all international organizations, including the United Nations, many of its agencies and for NATO headquarters, officials said.

The proposal, which was presented to the State Department last week and is still in a highly preliminary phase, is not expected to pass muster with either the department’s leadership or Congress, which will ultimately be asked to vote on the entire federal budget in the coming months.

Officials familiar with the proposal say it must still go through several rounds of review before it even gets to lawmakers, who in the past have amended and even rejected White House budget requests. Though the proposal is preliminary, it gives an indication of the Trump administration’s priorities and coincides with massive job and funding cuts across the federal government, from Health and Human Services and the Education Department to the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Notes from an internal meeting about the proposal have been circulated in online chat groups among foreign service officers since the weekend but exploded Monday when the State Department was due to present a separate unrelated reorganization plan to the OMB.

One senior U.S. official familiar with the OMB proposal called it “aggressive” in terms of cost-cutting, but also stressed that it was an early outline that mirrored what OMB chief Russell Vought sought to do in President Donald Trump’s first administration when he served in the same job. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal administration deliberations.


While President Trump seems more determined than any others to reduce the American National Debt, this will have a profound effect on American Support for Global Agencies and for NATO.

From a Bible Prophecy view we know that NATO must come to an end and morph into a European Defence Force with Russie included and acting as a Guard unto Europe.  This might seem a little far fetched to a lot of Politicians but it will happen because the Bible describes the GeoPolitical Allignment of Nations at the Time of the End before Christ will Return. 

President Macron is also on record saying he wants to bring Russia back to the negotiating table and begin dialogue on some form of a Security Pact with Russia, so there is already some thoughts about what might be beyond NATO as it now stands.

The Bible has long revealed that Russia and an EU Army will enter into a final conflict with Israel and the Middle East.  Germany is the key country in what Bible Prophecy refers to as the land of “Magog”. They are spoken of militarily as the “King of the North”.  Together the Bible says that Russia and the EU will invade the Middle East in the Last Days.  So Bible Students expect to see Germany and France taking a greater role in leading Europe.  It is also interesting to see Germany taking greater control of a continent they tried to take by war and failed.
