    The Bible is a book of governments. It dealt with the world ruling governments of the ancient

    world, and it deals with the modern day superpowers of Today! The Gospel itself is message

    about the last superpower that is to come, and that is the government or kingdom of God! Set upby Jesus Christ, and Jesus being its King! The Gospel is also an advance witness and warning to

    theNATIONS unless they repent, and be ready for the coming of the Kingdom of God!

    Now, what does prophecy say about this comingBeastthat will come on the world scene in thevery near future? What nation will he come from? These following scriptures show that the

    Beast will come from the nation of Assyria!

    Clearly in the book of Revelation Jesus fights the Beast at his coming. In the Old Testament,prophecies of YHWH, who is Christ fights the Assyrian at his coming, and the setting up of

    the Kingdom of God.

    Isaiah 30 shows the Mountain of YHWH being set up (verse 29), meaning the Kingdom of

    God, see Isaiah 2; Micah 4; Daniel 2:35, 40-45. Then, ... through the voiceof YHWH shall the

    Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod (v.31). At the time of the setting upof the Kingdom of God, God will strike at the Assyrian, and defeat him because they make

    war with him. The method of destroying he Assyrian is by the Voice of God. By divine

    Command. As another scripture says, Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a

    mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from thesword, and his young men shall be discomfited. (v.8). It is by the sword of the Lord that will

    destroy the Assyrian. This describes the second coming of Christ in the book of Revelation,

    And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; butreceive power as kings one hour with the beast... These have one mind, and shall give their

    power and strength unto the beast...These shal l make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall

    overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of ki ngs: and they that are with him are

    called, and chosen, and faith ful...And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, [TH E WORD OF

    GOD HEB 4:12] that with it he should smite the nations:..And I saw the beast, and the kings

    of the earth , and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the

    horse, and against his army...And the beast [THE ASSYRIAN] was taken, and with him the

    false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had receivedthe mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake

    of fire burning with brimstone...And the remnant were slain wi th the sword of him that sat

    upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were fi l led with

    their f lesh.[see also Ezekiel 39:17-20] (Rev 17:12-14; 19:15, 19-21).

    Comparing with other scriptures, we read of the wrath of God, This is the purpose that ispurposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations

    (Isaiah 14:26). In the time when he gathers all nations, Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of

    decision: for the day of the LORD isnear in the valley of decision. (Joel 3:14). Gathering in the

    valley of Jehoshaphat: (v.12), God will ... break the Assyrian in my land, and upon mymountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart

    from off their shoulders (Isaiah 14:25). As noted above the Beast is singled out and taken and

    tossed into the lake of fire. Here in Isaiah and Micah 5:5-6, the Assyrian in singled out as welland defeated. So clearly comparing scripture with Scripture the Beast will come out of Assyria!

    What Happened to Assyria?

    After the fall of Assyria by Babylon, what happened to the Assyrians? This nation seems to have

    vanished from History? Or did they? The Bible plainly says that Assyria will play a vital role in

    this end time. What happened to them?

    The book of Nahum shows that these people migratedNORTH in to the mountains towards

    Europe: Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy

    people isscattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them (3:18). The only

    mountains that are in the region of Assyria are the Caucasus Mountains between the Black and

    the Caspian Sea. The Assyrian nation was situated just SOUTH of those mountains, and it was

    often a place of refuge from danger. In the book of Kings the princes of Assyria took refugethere: So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

    And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech

    and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped in to the land of Armenia.And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead (2 Kings 19:36-37). Modern translations render

    Armenia as Ararat, which is between the Black and the Caspian sea justNORTH of Assyria.Where did they go from here? This booklet will follow the Assyrians from ancient Assyria to

    their final resting place in modern day Germany! This booklet will prove from many sources thatthe end time Assyrians are the Germans! (Below: A reconstruction of the double headed eagle of theH itti te /Assyrian Empire)

    Assyrias Tribal Names

    To the Spaniards, Germany is Alemania, and a German is Un Aleman. Other important

    names applied to the German peoples by the Romans were: Hatti (the ancestors of the modern

    Hessians),the Alemani and Suabi, the Quadi, the Casuari and others. The Romans

    called themcollectively Germani, meaning War-men (from the Encyclopedia Britannica,article,Germany). Lets compare the names of Asshurs descendants to that given by the

    Romans. It will give us some striking clues about the identity of the modern Assyrians. Though

    not listed in the Bible, they can be found in ancient histories and Bible Encyclopedias. The

    Assyrian tribal names include:

    1.Khatti;

    2.Akkadian;3.Kassites (or Cossaei);4.Almani (or Halmani).

    Notice the similarities with the Romans:

    1. Khatti=Hessians (see Germany in the Encyclopedia Britannica).

    2. Akkadians=In Latin, Quadians

    3. Kassites or Cossaei=Chauci4. Almani=Allemaniin in Latin. We can thank the Roman historian Tacitus for these tribal

    names of the Assyrians, in the Latin Tongue in his Germania.

    Assyrian Names in Bible Lands

    We read in the Bible that the Assyrians occupied an Area called Kir and placed captive slavesthere, see 2 Kings 16:9.

    Kir is the Hebrew translation of the city name, Der (a word from Akkadian which also means

    wall). Kir was a Mesopotamian city of the lower Tigris River... (Holman Bible Dictionary,underKir.). The Assyrians controlled and occupied this city for many years. Is it so strange

    that we find in Europe the Ker-Men, who are identical with the Ger-man.

    Stephen Collins writes: ...the Kermans migrated into Europe...[and] they were calledGermans, a general name used by the Romans to describe many similar tribes...There is an

    account of Herodotus which supports the conclusion that the Kermans and the Germans were oneand the samepeople...Clearly the term German originated in the region [of Assyria], and later

    spread into Europe. As the reader can see, the ancient term Germanii was virtually unchanged

    as it became Germany or Germania in Europe....It is this books opinion that the Germanii or

    Kermans were originally the ASSYRIANS...Even today the name Kerman is attached to a city inSouthern Iran (Lost Ten Tribes...Found, p.341, emphasis mine). The region in Iran is called

    Kharmania or Carmania. The oriental Kerman rugs, recognized the world over for their fine

    quality, are made by this region.

    Ancient CiliciaModern Silesia-The ancient city of Germanicopolis was located IN CILICIA,in southeastern Asia Minor according to Ammianus Marellinus, book 1, 27. It belonged of oldto the Hatti. Cilicia is mentioned several places in the Bible. Paul was born in Cilicia (Acts 21:39

    and 22:3). Now look at a map of Europe. We find that one of the eastern PROVINCES OF PRE-

    WORLD WAR II GERMANY IS CALLED SILESIA!spelled slightly different, but pronounced thesame! The name of Cilicia in Asia Minor was simply transplanted to Eastern Germany by the

    Hatti who migrated from Cilicia to Silesia, then to the Rhine.

    Appearance of the Assyrians

    So what did the Assyrians look like? In the Zagros hills and across the plain to the Tigris, therelived a ... FAIR-HAIRED ... PEOPLE akin to the Guti [the Goths] who ... remained in what was

    afterwards Assyria, the neighbour land to Akkad (page 5 of The Sumerians by C. Leonard

    Woolley). When the ancient Greek writers wanted to distinguish the Assyrians from theArameans or Syrians, the Greeks called the Assyrians, Leucosyri meaning WHITES or

    BLONDS as distinct from the VERY BRUNETTE SYRIANS who still live in Mesopotamia.

    Language of the Assyrians

    Althought the Assyrians were Semitic in origin, apparently the Assyrians aquired the Indo-

    Germanic language after the Babylonian confusion of tongues. The famous commentator,

    Josephus, claims in Antiquities of the Jews, Book I, Chapter 9, that some of the kings describedin Genesis 14:1 were Assyrians. He specifically mentions Tidal king of nations in this context

    as one of the commanders of the Assyrian army. It is notable that Tidal is not a Semitic name,

    but rather an Indo-Germanic name. This leads one to suppose that the Assyrians had adopted anIndo-Germanic language.

    In addition, the Greek historian, Ctesias, names all the Assyrian kings from 1970 B.C. to 1850

    B.C. They include such kings as Arelios, Xerxes, Armanithos, Shaeros and Tentamos. All ofthese names are of Indo-Germanic origin; they are not of Semitic origin.

    The Assyriologist, Sydney Smith, says in his book Early History of Assyria to 1000 B.C., thatdocuments that were found in Asia Minor and in areas east of the Tigris were written in the

    Semitic dialect, although the Assyrians, who lived there, could not evenpronounce all of the

    Semitic consonants.

    However, if the Assyrians did notspeaka Semitic language, why then do we find Assyrian

    written documents in the Semitic language?

    The Oxford Companion to the Bible commentary, in its 1993 edition, explains on page 63 thatthe Assyrian ruler Ashurnasirpal II (884859 B.C.) brought large numbers of western Arameans

    or Syrians into theheartland of Assyria, who were then swelling the ranks of the court, and that

    by the early seventh century, the Assyrian language had been replaced as the vernacular withAramaic [a Semitic language].

    Again, we see that the court and literary language of the Assyrians had become Semitic, whilethe common spoken word continued to remain Indo-Germanic, and from this spoken language

    the Germanic language is derived. This development is not unusual and was actually repeated

    later in Germany. We recall that Latin became the official language for written documents, while

    the German language was continually spoken. This leads to an interesting point. How is it thatthe Hebrew-speaking House of Israel, who were carried into Assyrian captivity, spoke an Indo-

    Germanic language when they arrived in Northwestern Europe? The obvious answer is, they

    were forced to learn it as a result of their captivity! The common tongue of the Assyrians was notonly Semitic, but Indo-Germanic!

    Bravo Of Troy

    Who has not heard of the famous Trojan horse that was built at the time of the Trojan War? In

    1183 B.C., the famous city of Troy fell into Greek hands. This occurred during the time of the

    biblical judges, about 200 years before King Solomon. Well-known poet Plato tells us that Troywas an Assyrian sanctuary. During the war, the Assyrian king, Tatarnis, sent weapons andsoldiers to the Trojans; however, as we know, ultimately without success. When Troy was finally

    captured after a ten-year siege, an Assyrian soldier named Bravo fled Troy and migrated to

    Europe where he settled in the area around the German city of Trier. An old chronicle tells us

    that Bravo was filled with joy when he met the Assyrian descendants there who had followedTrebeta [an Assyrian prince] and who had settled in the area.

    The Mysterious Origin Of Trier

    This brings us to the question of the origin of Trier. Official records teach us that Trier was built

    by the Romans. But there is also another version:

    In the market square in Trier, there is a building called Rotes Haus (Red House). A Latin

    inscription on the house proclaims that Trier existed 1300 years before the founding of Rome. It

    says: Ante Romam Treveris stetit annis mille trecentis perstet et aeterna pace fruatur Amen.

    Translated into English, it means: Treveris [Trier] existed 1300 years before Rome; let itcontinue to exist and enjoy eternal peace. Amen. Rome was founded in 753 B.C. If the

    inscription is true, Trier was already in existence at the time of Abraham and Noah.

    German books and newspaper articles about Trier tell of a legend whereupon Trier had been

    built 4000 years ago by the Assyrian prince Trebeta. Supposedly the name Trier is derived

    from Trebeta. Joseph K. L. Bihl wrote in In Deutschen Landen (In German Lands) onpage 69 [re-published in 1953 in Cambridge, Massachusetts]: The inhabitants of Trier maintain

    that their city is the oldest in all Europe. Trier was founded by Trebeta, a son of the famous

    Assyrian King Ninus. The fact that Ninus was an Assyrian king is confirmed by Deodorus of

    Sicily (History, Volume II).

    Legend has it that with the death of King Ninus, his son Trebeta fled from his wicked stepmother

    Semiramis, emigrated with a large following of Assyrians to Europe and settled in an area not farfrom the Rhine, where he built a town called Trebetam or Treverum, todays Trier.

    Next to the Red House is a building called Steipe. Eyewitnesses reported seeing on the second

    floor of this house a picture that represents Ninus and Trebeta. Today, that painting can be

    viewed in the Stadtmuseum Simeonstift, which is located next to the Tourist Office and thefamous Porta Nigra.

    If, therefore, Trebeta, son of King Ninus, founded Trier and settled there with many Assyrian

    subjects, then it is no wonder that later the Assyrian soldier Bravo was welcomed to the area

    around Trier by Assyrians, who at that time (around 1180 B.C.) still lived there. This also

    explains why the Assyrians at the fall of Nineveh also migrated into Europe along the Rhine, tosettled with the other Assyrians already in Germany! It is no wonder that Smiths Classical

    Dictionary freely admits in the article Germania, on page 361: There can be no doubt that

    they [the Germans] immigrated to Europe from the Caucasus and the countries around the Blackand Caspian seas.

    The Mysterious Hatti Tribe

    The Assyrians lived in the land of the Hittites. The Assyrian inscriptions...call the Hittites,

    Hatti, Khatti, Khatu, the Hebrew Heth or Cheth, Egyptian Kheta, Khita, Chinese Khitan... (The

    Hittites: Inscriptions and History Vol.1, by John Campbell, p.74). These Hittites were of the sonsof Heth. These were of Mongolian in race than Semitic, The Hittites as shown both on their

    own and on Egyptian monuments were clearly Mongoloid in type. They were short and stout,

    prognathous, and had rather receding foreheads. The cheek-bones were high, the nose was large

    and straight, forming almost a line with the forehead, and the upper lip protruded. They wereyellow in color, with black hair and eyes, and beardless, while according to the Egyptian

    paintings they wore their hair in pigtails... (Jewish Encyclopedia under Hittites). These were

    transported to Parthia, then eventually China by the Assyrians, The presence of Hittites inParthia, Hyrcania, and Sagartia, in the time of the Achnemenian Persians, is accounted for by

    the overthrow of their Syrian Empire by the Assyrian Sargon, and their consequent banishment

    or transportation to distant regions by their conqueror. (ibid, p.110, emphasis added).

    So, the Assyrians after transporting the original Hittites to another land as they did with the

    Israelites and others, dwelt in the land of the Hittites, and carried the name of the Hatti with

    them. As we see in history, other Assyrian tribes and kings knew very well that Assyrians lived

    In this painting, which states at the bottom that it was

    painted in 1559 A.D., Ninus is wearing a crown with the

    inscription Ninus Rex, or King Ninus. At the bottomof the painting is a caption saying that Trier was founded

    by Trebeta.

    In an old book that was originally published in 1851,

    Trier und seine Umgebungen in Sagen und Liedern, it

    is stated on page v that the ancient oral legend that

    Trebeta built Trier had already been reduced to writing

    prior to 909 A.D., in the Gestis Trevirorum, through

    the monk Eberhard of the St. Matthew monastery.

    in land of the Hittites. Luckenbill wrote in his book Ancient Records of Assyria and Babylon,

    volume 2, paragraph 29, which was published in 1926, that kings of certain tribes of the Hatti

    were regarded AS ASSYRIANS I [ac]counted them Obviously, that referred to those Assyrianswho were living in the Hittite lands. The old kings of the Assyrian Empire were called Khatti-

    sars; i.e., Czar, Emperor or King of the Hatti or Khatti.

    The ancient capital of the land of Hatti was popularly known among the Romans as NinusVetusthe old Nineveh (History of Art in Sardinia, Judaea, Syria and Asia Minor, by G.

    Perrot and C. Chipiez, Vol. II, page 272). Nineveh was Assyrias capital! The Empire of Hatti

    and the Empire of Assyria were the same Empirenot two empires existing five centuries apart

    as historians assume.

    Excavated records from Bible times PROVE that the great rulers of the land of Hatti were not only

    contemporary with the famous kings of Assyria, but were also federated with them. All ancientGreek writers agreed that Assyria and Anatolia (the land of Hatti) were allies.

    We have already determined that the Assyrians, after the Babylonian confusion of tongues, hadaccepted an Indo-Germanic language and were no longer speaking a Semitic language. The

    linguist Edgar Sturtevant compared the Assyrian with the Germanic language and came to

    surprising results, which he recorded in his book A Comparative Grammar. His book was

    published in 1933 in Philadelphia. Sturtevant wrote on page 240: To me it seems incredible thatso remarkable a situation developed in two languages independently. I feel compelled to trace

    the Germanic to a common origin [with the language of Hatti, which was a common language

    of the Western Assyrians]. The language of Hatti was an Indo-Germanic language, and not aSemitic language. Many words of Hatti re-appear in the Old High German language.

    Origin of the Modern Hessian

    As did the linguist Edgar Sturtevandt, other researchers have also recognized the relationship

    between the Assyrian Hatti and modern German tribes. The Encyclopedia Britannica writes in

    its article about Germany that the Hatti were a tribe living among the Teutons who invaded

    Europe. In another article (in Volume 6) on the Chatti, it is explained that they were an ancientGermanic tribe that often mixed with the Romans during the early first century conflict. Of

    course, not all Teutons are German.

    However, in an article about the Hessians, the Encyclopedia Britannica wrote in volume 13

    that the early inhabitants of Germany were the Chatti, who lived here during the first century,

    and that the Chatti and the Hessians were identical. If one understands this identity, certainhistorical events become very clear. For example, the Assyrian Hatti coined the term master

    race. They invented, or at least adopted, the double-headed eagle, the iron cross and the

    swastika. Ancient Assyrians are represented with a feather headdress and other insignia that

    emerged as emblems in the Third Reich, like the swastika and the concept of the master race.

    The word Heth, from which Hittites is derived, and the word Chatti mean the same

    thingwarrior or man of war. [It is interesting that the syllable ger in Germane is anold German word for Wurfspiess, i.e., spear. So a Germane is a man of thespearor a man

  • 7/28/2019 Germany in Prophecy

    9/24

    of war. Thenames for Chatti and Heth, meaning warrior or man of war, are therefore

    identical with the meaning of the word Germane.]. Tacitus writes about the Teutons that

    ...war was their chief industry (Germania Tacitus). Concerning battle he writes that thesepeoples followed the will ofone man, the chieftain. The incredible loyalty cannot be

    overlooked in the Assyrian and German histories!

    The Hatti lorded it over other peoples who lived in Asia Minor. They were the inventors of the DOUBLE-

    HEADED EAGLE which has always been A SYMBOL OF THE GERMAN EMPIRE! Professor A. H. Sayce

    states it was left to these people to invent a double-headed eagle (page 116 of The Hittites). Hastings

    says: The [northern] Hittites [Chatti] seem to have had a special fancy for combining parts of different

    animals into strangely composite and sometimes grotesque forms (Dictionary of the Bible, vol.2 article,

    Hittites) He goes on to say that they were responsible for bringing the double headed eagle into Europe.

    They have even found in Turkey, where the ancient Hittes lived, the same symbol found in Europe, the

    double headed eagle. The double headed eagle was also a symbol of the Kingdom of Prussia.

    The Eastern European nations have the double headed eagle as well. Some of Abrahams descendants joinedwith the Assyrians, so its only likely that since they joined the Assyrian community, that they incorporated

    their symbols as well.

    The Chatti were known to carry standards such as were seen in many Nazi parades...the swastika...Another

    ritual standard and the ancient Chatti ...[was] the Iron Cross... (Twentieth Century Watch Magazine, Dec

    1984, p.6).

    Can We Trace Assyrias Migrations to Germany?

    As we have shown earlier in the booklet, the book of Nahum shows that these people migratedNORTH in to the mountains towards Europe: Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy

    nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people isscattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth

    them (3:18). The only mountains that are in the region of Assyria are the Caucasus Mountainsbetween the Black and the Caspian Sea. The Assyrian nation was situated just SOUTH of those

    mountains, and it was often a place of refuge from danger. In the book of Kings the princes ofAssyria took refuge there: So Sennacherib king ofAssyria departed, and went and returned, and

    dwelt at Nineveh.

    And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech

    and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped in to the land of Armenia.And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead (2 Kings 19:36-37). Modern translations render

    Armenia as Ararat, which is between the Black and the Caspian sea just NORTH of Assyria.

    Now, lets look at secular history to see if it corroborates the Bible.

    The Roman historian Pliny writes that he found ...a warlike people called the ASSYRIANI thatinhabited the region NORTH of the Black Sea (Natural History, IV, 12, page 183, emphasis

    mine). They were north because of the Babylonian invasion from the south, which Nahum wroteis the reason why the Assyrians were migrating north.

    Now consider what Sylax, the author of the Periplus, who lived about 550 B.C., writes of this

    region: THE COAST OF THE BLACK SEA ... IS CALLED ASSYRIA (from page 261 of Perrot andChipiezs Historyof Art in Sardinia, Judaea, Syria and Asia Minor, Vol. II., emphasis mine).

    The Assyrians continued on into Europe causing the Romans to build their famous limes

    (defense positions and walls) and station legions along their northern borders to stop the

    advancing warlike hordes. Jerome (Latin scholar c.340-420), who lived at the time when thesetribes were invading Europe, says: For Assur (the Assyrian) also is joined with them [Cimbric

    Tribes] invading western Europe, ALONG THE RHINE! (Letter 123, 16; from Nicene and

    Post-Nicene Fathers).

    As mentioned earlier, Smiths Classical Dictionary states in the article Germania, on page

    361: There can be no doubtthat they [the Germans] immigrated to Europe from the Caucasus

    and the countries around the Black and Caspian seas. (emphasis added).

    The Romans seeing these tribes called them by several names. One of the names was Teutons.

    The Romans whose unaccustomed ears tried to translate into their own tongue the names of these

    fierce barbaric peoples and rendered the Deutschen as the Teutons Another name was theGERMANS!- A name meaning men of war. (From the Encyclopedia Britannica, article,

    Germany). Yes, Assyria is Modern-day Germany!

    AssyriaAncestors of the Modern Germans A new Idea?

    The idea that the Assyrians are the ancestors of German peoples was not unknown in the past.

    Various authors from different backgrounds have expressed their beliefs in this regard. To note afew: In 1870, the British author E. Hines published a book in London with the title Forty-seven

    Identifications of the British Nation with the Lost Ten Tribes. He claims in that book that the

    Germans are identical with the Assyrians.

    Dr. Swaner, former editor of a German publication, stated in an essay, which was published in

    theDaily Mailin 1910, that many Germans are descendants of the ancient Assyrians.

    D.J. Pilkey pointed out in his work, The Origin of Nations, which waspublished in San Diego

    in 1984, that many Germans descended from the Assyrians.

    In summary, it can be stated that both legends and historical annals confirm that the modernGerman-speaking peoples, including the Hessians, are descendants of the ancient Assyrians. This

    knowledge is a necessary prerequisite for a correct understanding of the biblical prophecies

    about the immediate future of Germany.

    The Origins of the Germans

    Can we establish a German connection between the ancient Assyrians and modern German-

    speaking peoples? To answer this question, we must investigate the ancestry of the Germans

    from various historical records.

    Early annals identify the progenitor of all Germans as a man named Tuysco or Tuisco,

    sometimes also called Tuisto or Tuitsch. Verstegan remarked in 1605 in A Restitution of

    Decayed Intelligence in Antiquities: Of this Tuisco, the first and chiefest man of many among

  • 7/28/2019 Germany in Prophecy

    12/24

    the Germans, and after whom they do call themselves Tuytshen, that is, duytsches or duytsch

    people, I have already spoken

    The DTV-Lexikon conveys this about Tuisto: [According to Tacitus Germania, Tuisto

    was] among the Teutons the first person [who] sprang from the earth... his son had the

    designation Mannus (i.e., man).

    Then the same lexicon writes under Germania: The oldest tribal division traditionally reports,

    according to Tacitus, of a deity Tuisto, his son Mannus, and his three sons, after whom the three

    Western Germanic tribal groups, the Ingwonen, the Istwonen and the Herminones, are named.

    In his work, Die Bayrische Chronik (The Bavarian Chronicle), which was published in

    Abendsberg in 1526, Johannes Turmair states that Tuitsch or Tuisto reigned from 2214 B.C. to

    2038 B.C. and that he was said to be a son of Noah. His son Mannus would have been the fatherof Trebeta, who, according to legend, founded Trier. We already know that Trebetas father was

    the Assyrian king Ninus. Thus Ninus and Mannus were the same personMannus would merely

    be the German name for Ninus. This would also mean that Ninus or Mannus was identical withAsshur, and that Asshurs father Shem, the son of Noah, was none other than the German

    Asshur Ninus; Mannus Wife: Semiramis

    Trebeta Trebetam;Treverum Trier possibly derived from these names

    Again we see here the account of a legend, equating the Assyrian kings with German kings or

    emperors.

    ANOTHER ORIGIN FORDEUTSCHE-The Teutons, ancestors of the German-speaking people,worshiped a pantheon of pagan gods. Their main god was Tieu, the god of war, sometimes

    known as Thor or Thur. This could designate the Assyrian god Assur (recall that the Assyrianslater revered their ancestor Asshur as a god). In ancient manuscripts Assur is often referred to as

    Athur or Thur, and the country of Assyria is repeatedly designated as Athuria. Some Assyrians

    migrated during the fall of Nineveh to the east and settled among the Persians. Herodotus also

    referred to these tribes of the Assyrians as the Germanii (History, Book 1, paragraph 125).This also shows that Assyrians were considered to be Germans.

    History tells us that in the years 1650 B.C. and 1649 B.C., Indian King Sahadeva of Magadhabattled with the Asuras. Indian scholars claim that these Asuras were Assyrians. It is

    interesting that these Asuras or Assyrians are referred to in Indian writings as DaityasDaityas in Sanskrit has the meaning of German.

    Sometimes the name Athur was shortened simply to Tyr in the Indo-European tongue. His

    name was placed on the THIRD DAY of the weekcalled Tuesday in the English-speaking

    world. Tuesday is Asshurs day. Tuesday is from an old Saxon word meaning Tiws day. Tiwwas the god of war of the Germanic people of Europe. Tiw, or Tiwe, was also known by the

    name Tyrthat is, Asshur. Tiw is another name of Asshur!

    13/24

    The Assyrians knew Asshur or Tyr was their ancestor. We should expect, therefore, that when

    they migrated to Europe they would still be known as the sons of Tyr or Tiw, that is, Asshur.And what do we find? When the Germans appeared in Europe, they claimed Tyr or Tiw as their

    ancestor! But what has the name Deutsche to do with Tiw? The modern German word

    Deutsche as educated Germans knowis derived from the old Anglo-Saxon word Tiw.(See any thorough book on etymology and word derivations.) Whenever a German calls himselfDeutsche, he is saying he is Tiws or Asshurs son an Assyrian. And when he terms his

    country Deutschland, he is saying Tiws or Asshurs land Assyria!

    Other Assyrian & German Similarities

    In his well-documented book, Nazi Germany - A New History, which was published in 1995,

    German-born author Klaus P. Fischer describes Hitlers custom of staging parades of lights, asfollows: It was a gleam of sinister beauty the world had not seen since the days of ancient

    Assyrians (page 342). Speakingof Hitlers intentions to subjugate peoples, he states on page

    496: Most of these grandiose plans were postponed by the exigencies of war, but they reflectthe Assyrian nature of German policy toward conquered peoples.

    The Assyrian Hatti claimed to be the Master Race. The Hatti lorded it over other peoples who

    lived in Asia Minor. Is it any surprise that The German State, from its beginning, has nearlyalways been a confederation of statesoften an empire of German ruling over non-German. It

    is the German people who, more than once, have believed themselves to be the Herrenvolk

    the Master Race.!

    The Assyrians were the first builders of major paved roads, not merely for commercial purposes,

    but with the specific purpose of logistical support of armies in mind! A network of paved roads

    led outward in various directions from the ancient Assyrian capital Nineveh. The Assyrians werethe very first to use iron chariots (mechanized vehicles of war). They had the most advance

    technology in the world at that time, either industry or for war purposes. They were superb

    warriors!

    Tacitus writes about the Teutons that ...war was their chief industry (Germania Tacitus).

    Concerning battle he writes that these peoples followed the will of one man, the chieftain. The

    incredible loyalty cannot be overlooked in the Assyrian and German histories!

    You cannot escape the similarities between the Germans and the Assyrians! Look at the history

    of Germany. They have the best technology, and industrial strength in the entire world. In WorldWar One, they were destroyed, and then REBUILT ITSELF, and became a superpower again in

    World War Two. After World War Two, Germany was lying in absolute rubble, and now it has

    come back, and is the MAJOR POWER AGAIN IN EUROPE, AND THE WORLD! They are the

    economic engine of Europe.

  • 7/28/2019 Germany in Prophecy

    14/24

    They build the finest cars in the world. Look at their beautiful cities, and industrial and economic

    strengths that have taken over Europe and now the world! Truly, the Germans like their

    ancestors, the Assyrians, are great builders! (See above quotes from the Seven Great Monarchiesof the Ancient Eastern World, chapter 6, pp.240-241, George Rawlinson).

    Germany like the Assyrians had been great centers of learning for generations. Germanysinventions have contributed greatly to the modern industrial world!

    Assyrian Tanks

    TheirChief industry was war.Anciently the Assyrians created

    war machines many resemblingtanks of our modern day.

    The German military strategy of

    using fast-moving tanks, with

    motorized infantry and artillery

    supported by dive-bombers, andconcentrating on one part of the

    enemy sector, became known as

    Blitzkreig (lightning war).

    This strategy is similar with the

    Assyrians, The army wastherefore the most vital pan of the

    government. Assyria recognized

    frankly that government is the

    nationalization of force Tacticscentered about the idea of rapid

    movement making possible a

    piecemeal attack (Durant, TheStory of Civilization, p.270,

    emphasis added).

    Germany in Prophecy

    What is Germanys future role in prophecy? As we have shown in the beginning of the booklet,

    the Assyrian and the Beast are one and the same in prophecy. Germany will lead Europe in a tennation combine and fight Christ at his coming, see Rev 17:12-15.

    But before this, what does Germany do when it comes to Geopolitics and the reshaping of thecurrent order?

    In Daniels vision of the image he saw in the plain, at the feet and toes,part potters clay, and

    part Iron, we know this is the NATO Alliance, the current situation we are in right now (Readour booklet, Who, What is the Beast for more details). But this will crumble and fall as God said

    he would do to the House of Israel in the parable of the potters clay in Jeremiah 18.

    NATO will break apart, the EU will come to its end as the 6 head or mountain will come to its

    end in 2013, and the Beast will rise, and the 7TH and final resurrection of the Beast will take

    place. It is at this time, when the Miry clay phase will form, and a new alliance with the

    nations of Ham headed by Egypt will attach itself to a new HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE LED BY

    GERMANY! (Read our booklet on Tyre and the Next Rise of the Roman Empire for details) .

    The transition phase will begin to unfold in 2012-2013, the transition from the Iron and thePotters clay, to the Iron and the Miry clay. This will be the Holy Roman Empire led by

    Germany, the last resurrection of that great Beast that will fight Christ at his coming. A marriage

    will also take place between the Beast (Germany), and the Roman Catholic Church, similar to

    the Lateran Treaty between Hitler, Mussolini and the Pope before World War Two. It will be aChurch/State Empire. Germany, at the helm of 10 nations in Europe, giving their power and

    strength to Germany! This I can see when we look at what is unraveling today. The E.U. is a

    bust, it is not working, there is no central power. This is the one reason why the European Uniondoes notwork, and the United States of America does work. A central bank, one economy, one

    army, a central power to lead the nation. The prophecy says, And the ten horns which thou

    sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one

    hour with the beast.

    Below: Assur- The national deity

    of Assyria.

    of Germany

  • 7/28/2019 Germany in Prophecy

    16/24

    These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. (Rev 17:12-

    13).

    Added to this an alliance with the Catholic Church, the Woman of prophecy: The seven heads

    are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

    And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, andthe other is not yet come; and whenhe cometh, he must continue a short space. (Rev 17:9-10). She will sit on the seventh and finalrestoration of that Empire. Her, and her followers, nearly 1 Billion people!

    In the Old Testament we read of this false church marrying this beast of prophecy! Come down,

    and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter [woman always a symbol of a church, see Eph 5:22-27] ofBabylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no

    more be called tender and delicate...I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mineinheri tance, and given them into thi ne hand: thou didst show them no mercy; upon the ancienthast thou very heavily laid thy yoke...Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures,

    that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit

    as awidow, neither shall I know the loss of chi ldren: (Isaiah 47:1, 6, 8).

    In verse 8 we see that the church does not want to be a widow anymore. She lost her husband

    when the axis powers of Germany and Italy fell. She became a widow, the alliance died. Soon

    she will ask for another marriage with the nations, And it shall come to pass after the end ofseventy years [in 2013], that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall

    commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. (Isaiah 23:17).

    This church also wants her children back as well. These are the daughters that came out of the

    Catholic Church in protest and call themselves Protestant. They too will come back to this

    mother church in the end time!

    Then, added to this the Miry clay nations of Ham. Prophecies speak of Egypt rising to power

    with a cruel dictator to lead it. Germany and Egypt will invade the land of Israel, and the Beast

    will set up head quarters there, and the Pope will sit in the temple of God showing everyone that

    he is God! Think of how enormous the Empire is going to be! A huge conglomerate of nations,and 1 Billion religious followers! What will this Empire do to the modern nations of Israel-

    Judah, Britain, and the other European Israelite nations?

    Lets begin with Micahs prophecy!

    Micah 5 shows clearly who Christ is to fight in this end time: But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah,though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me

    that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting [Prophecy

    of Christ, see Matthew 2:6]...And this man [Messiah] shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall

    come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces... thus shall he [Messiah] deliver usfrom the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders

    (Micah 5:2, 5-6). Modern Translations (NEB, JB, GNB) as NIV fittingly conclude this

    paragraph with the first phrase of v.5, thus understanding the MESSIAH himself to be...peace(c.f. Isa 9:6-7) (International Bible Commentary, p.934, F.F. Bruce, emphasis mine). The

  • 7/28/2019 Germany in Prophecy

    17/24

    Messiah will defeat this Assyrian when he comes into the Land of Israel. As we have seen in

    Revelation, Christ fights the Beast at his coming, see Rev 17:12-14. But notice what the Assyrian

    does in this prophecy. He shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaceshe treadeth within our borders. He comes and occupies the land by force, by his military!

    Revelation 11and Daniel 12 tells us, the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two

    months. (11:2). And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and theabomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.(Dan 12:11). This is done by the Beast and the False Prophet.

    A three and one half year Great Tribulation, when the Abomination of desolation is set up by the

    Pope in the Temple of God (2 Thessalonians 2:2-4). Jesus said, When ye therefore shall see theabomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso

    readeth, let him understand:). For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the

    beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matthew 24:15, 21). The Popesetting himself up in the temple of God showing himself that he is God will trigger the Great

    Tribulation that is coming upon the peoples of Jacob, Jacobs trouble (Jer 30:7), and that is the

    peoples of the USA, the British Commonwealth of Nations, the peoples of North WesternEurope and the Jews Today!

    The Assyrian Beast, Britain & North Western Europe

    The Bible reveals to us that the Beast will occupy Israel, no doubt because the Pope wants to go

    back to the birth place of the church and assert its control over the holy places. As the prophecy

    says of the false prophet, And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,(Rev13:12). Remember the Woman sitteth on top of the Beast, steering it to do its will. So, when

    this is accomplished and the Pope is set up in the temple of God, after 30 days, Jesus said the

    great tribulation will begin, which is 1260 days or three and one half years, a total of Daniels

    1290 days.

    Now, the prophecies reveal, the sacking of Jerusalem, and the invasion of Britain, and

    Northwestern Europe by the Assyrian led Beast.

    In Isaiah 9:1-7 we read of a dual prophecy. This prophecy in type was fulfilled in the days of

    Isaiah, but then found its fulfillment in Christ, but not its full fulfillment, because the prophecy

    has to do with the second coming of Christ: Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as wasin her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,

    and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of

    the nations.The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the

    shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.[Jesus Matthew 4:13-16]

    Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the

    joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his

    oppressor, as in the day of Midian [This is the Assyrian see, Isaiah 10:26-27].

    For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but thisshall be with burning and fuel of fire.

  • 7/28/2019 Germany in Prophecy

    18/24

    For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his

    shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting

    Father, The Prince of Peace.

    Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David,and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from

    henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. [The Kingdom ofGod]When Isaiah made this prophecy, the "people" in verse 2 of the tribes of Zebulon andNaphtali werein the land. The "people" of Zebulon and Naphtali however did not see Christ

    when the prophecy was fulfilled in Matthew 4:13-16, simply because, they were not dwelling in

    Palestine at the time, butfled to other nations. This shows that it was only fulfilled in type, in

    Jesus day. The Great "Light" that Israel will see in its full fulfillment will be at the secondcoming when "as thelightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall

    also the coming of the Sonof man be" (Matthew 24:27). What great light shines from the east to

    the west? The Sun. Jesus iscalled the "Sun of Righteousness," and his face shines like the "sun"in its full strength, see Malachi 4:2; Rev 1:16.

    In the beginning of this prophecy, it starts with the two invasions of land of Zebulun and the landof Naphtali. They were lightly afflicted, then, they were grievously afflicted. These are the two

    invasions by first, Pul King of Assyria, see 2 Kings 15:19-20. Then, the second invasion which

    deported all of them to Assyria was by Tiglathpileser. But, then this is shown in the New

    Testament to be a prophecy about Christ in his first coming, of him, and his ministry in Galilee.

    For thirty years he had dwelt at Nazareth, in Zebulon. There he had first come forward to teach

    in a synagogue; (Luk_4:16-21) in Galilee he had done his first miracles; (Joh_2:11 Joh_4:54) atCapernaum. "Upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim," he commenced his

    preaching of repentance. (Mat_4:13-17) The "light" first streamed forth in this quarter, glorifying

    the region on which contempt had long been poured. But as we look further into the prophecy we

    see many end time elements of the second coming of Christ as well. This was just a type of Jesussecond coming, and saving the people of Holland (Zebulon), and Naphtali (Sweden) from the

    Assyrian.

    Again, the people in verse two means the people of Zebulon and Naphtali who were invaded atthe time. They are living in darkness and have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of

    the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. Does not Jesus come as his face shining

    like the Sun in his full strength? Is he not called the light of the world? Why is the land calledthe shadow of death? Further examination of this prophecy clearly tells us why.

    Thou hast multiplied the nation, andnot increased the joy: they joy before thee according to thejoy in harvest, andas men rejoice when they divide the spoil. (v.3). Here, this verse shows that

    the Israelites of these tribes increase and become strong and mighty. Then, the joy does not

    increase but diminishes. Why? Well, then the situation changes, their joy increases again when

    they divide the spoil. What happens here? The next verse explains:

    For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his

    oppressor, as in the day of Midian. (v.4). This scripture is the same as Isaiah 10:24-27. Chapter10 is an end time prophecy of the second coming of Christ. We will examine into this scripture

  • 7/28/2019 Germany in Prophecy

    19/24

    later in the booklet. But, this explains why the land is in gloom, and in darkness. The Assyrian

    has northern Europe in its grips, and is holding them in slavery and captivity.

    For every battle of the warrioris with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this

    shall be with burning andfuel of fire. (v.5). Clearly a battle is being fought here. When Christ

    comes, those who are full of blood shall burn in the wrath of God against the nations, that Christfights at his coming.

    For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his

    shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting

    Father, The Prince of Peace.

    Of the increase ofhis government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David,

    and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice fromhenceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

    The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. (vv.6-8). These verses clearlyshow that this is an end time prophecy. God sends the Word to Israel, their Savior who is

    called the Word of God, to save them from their oppressor, the Assyrian.

    What of Britain? In the book of Obadiah, Edom is charged with betraying Jacob. There is aclear distinction between Jacob and Judah in this prophecy. Jacob of course is primarily Ephraim

    (Britain) and Manasseh (USA). Judah, the modern-day Jews in Israel.

    In this prophecy God accuses Edom (Modern-day Turkey) of Betraying his brother Jacob, by

    standing with the Beast power, and not with Jacob. Clearly, these passages show the NATO

    alliance breaking apart, and the USA and the British left in Palestine defending the Jewish state

    alone.

    God has revealed that the King of the North will occupy Israel Daniel 11:45. This king of the

    North is the USA and the British, the Chief Powers of NATO (Read our booklet Middle East in

    Prophecy for further details). At that time, he shall come to his end, and none shall helphim. (v.45). When the USA and Britain occupy Israel, NATO will break apart. There is a

    similar scripture in Jeremiah, All thy lovers [allies Moffat Translation] have forgotten thee;

    they seek thee not; (30:14).China will deliver that wound that will break the alliance apart.American and British forces that are left in Israel will be carried away captive by the emerging

    Beast power. The Potters clay phase ends, and the Miry Clay phase begins. In this transition,

    Turkey will side with the Beast and betray the USA and Britain.

    Obadiah writes, Forthy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou

    shalt be cut off for ever.

    In the day that thou stoodeston the other side, in the day that the strangers carr ied away

    captive his forces, and f oreigners entered in to his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even

    thou wast as one of them.

  • 7/28/2019 Germany in Prophecy

    20/24

    But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a

    stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their

    destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.

    Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea,

    thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laidhands on their substance in the day of their calamity;

    Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut of f those of h is that did escape;neither shouldest thou have deli vered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.

    (vv.10-14). Jacob is in Jerusalem! Why? Daniel 11:45 tells us, They occupy Israel, and theglorious holy Mountain because of the tidings out of the East and the North, meaning Iran.

    As we have seen in other prophecies, the Assyrian treads down, Jerusalem and Judah in the

    end time at Christ coming. These strangers in Obadiahs prophecy can only mean the Beastpower that take away the forces of America and Britain and imprison them. Obadiahs prophecy

    ends with, and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S. (v.21). It is an end time prophecy!

    We also see, the crossway being cut off for American and British forces trying to escape. This

    crossway can only mean the Bosporus and Dardanelles.

    The Americans also have substance in the land of Israel. Military equipment, other materialgoods, military bases, other things that an occupying power has in other lands. So American and

    British forces will be defeated in the land of Israel, and NATO will come to a close.

    The land of Britain itself will also come under the power of the Beast. Ephraim (Britain) it says

    the Assyrian [The Beast] shall be his king And Ephraim, shall eat unclean things in Assyria

    [the beast] (Hosea 9:3; 10:6). The British people will make a covenant with death (Isaiah

    28:19) meaning the Assyrians (Hosea 12:1). They make this covenant with them thinking thatthey would avoid the attack from Germany, it shall not comeunto us (Isaiah 28:15). But God

    says no! The agreement shall not stand, and ye shall be trodden down by it (v.18). Then they

    shall go into captivity, see Isaiah 11.

    What about America? The Beast or Germany will NOT ATTACK AMERICA! But who will attack

    the United States of America? Read our booklet China in Prophecy for full details.

    Isaiah 10

    Now we come to this prophecy that clearly shows what the Assyrian will do to the IsraelitishEuropean nations in the end time.

    Isaiah 10:5-6 says: O ASSYRIAN, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine

    indignation.

    I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against thepeople of my wrath will I give

    him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of thestreets. God is going to send the Assyrian and his army against the House of Israel. World War

  • 7/28/2019 Germany in Prophecy

    21/24

    III is going to happen against the British and the Scandinavian powers and this time, the nations

    of Israel are going to lose, unless we repent and return to Almighty God!

    God will punish the Assyrian (the Beast) for his sins as well, Isaiah continues in the same

    chapter, Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work

    upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stoutheart of the king ofAssyria, and the glory of his high looks.For he [the Assyrian] saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I

    am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I

    have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man: (v.12-13).

    During this time of great tribulation, the house of Israel will be as they were in the time when

    they were in Egypt as slaves to the Assyrian, who is a type of Pharaoh.

    Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid ofthe Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the

    manner of Egypt (v.24). God will do what he did in the days of Moses. Israel will be in slavery

    and captivity,then he will send the two witnesses to send plagues to the seat of the beast (Rev16:10), telling theAssyrian to let his people go!

    God will of course save his people from slavery and captivity as he did in the days of Moses:

    And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of thehouse of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the

    LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

    The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God... And in that daythere shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles

    seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

    And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to

    recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria...And he shall set up anensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed

    of Judah from the four corners of the earth...And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of

    the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite

    it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria;

    like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt (Isaiah 10:20-21;

    11:10-12,15-16). God will perform what he did in the days of Moses and save his people.

    Assyrias Future Invasion of Judah

    As mentioned earlier, the Assyrian led Beast will be in an alliance with the Hamitic nations of

    Egypt, Libya, Palestine, Africa etcthe miry clay nations. Prophecies show the Beast invasion

    of Judah from the north, and the Egyptian led invasion from the south.

    Isaiah he 7th

    chapter gives us the prophecy about Christ, And he said, Hear ye now, O house of

    David;Is ita small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?

    Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a vir gin shall conceive, and bear a

    son, and shal l call hi s name Immanuel.

    abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.

    The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days

    that have not come, fr om the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of

    Assyria.(vv.13-17). This prophecy shows that Jesus is to be born. Before age 12, the land willbe forsaken by both her kings, meaning the kings of Israel and Judah. Then God says that he willbring upon them, the king of Assyria in the days that have not come. Chapter 8 again God

    says, Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong andmany, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and

    go over all his banks:

    And he shal l pass thr ough Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the

    neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fi ll the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel (vv.7-8). A huge army will come into Judah led by Assyria. Immanuel is mentioned in this portion of

    the prophecy because it is meant for the end time.

    In Isaiah 7, this prophecy mentions Egypt, and Assyria invading the land of Judah:

    And it shall come to pass in that day, thatthe LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost

    part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the

    rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.

    In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hir ed, namely, by them beyond theriver, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the

    beard. (vv.18-20). The International Bible Commentary writes, Not only Assyria but Egypt

    willbring trouble to Judah. Egypt was noted for its flies, Assyria for its bees, and God is

    depicted as a bee-keeper whistling for the bees to follow. Plainly, Judah is to be the land infestedby the twotwo of Judahs allies preying upon her (p.727). What is interesting is that Assyria

    is called the razor that is hired. Will Germany be employed by Judah for its protection to get a

    foothold into Palestine? The Bible says, And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the

    transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding darksentences, shall stand up.

    And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully,

    and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.And through hi s policy also he shal l cause craft to prosper i n his hand; and he shal l magni fy

    himself in his heart, and by peace shal l destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince

    of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (Daniel 8:23-25). With the weakened forces ofthe USA and British, and a new militarized Germany that is Jewish friendly right now, surely the

    Jews will look to them as they do to the United States today for protection from her enemies.

    Israel and Judah slaves in Egypt and Assyria

    Many end time prophecies show Israel coming back to the land of Israel as refugees. They will

    be enslaved because of their sins by their enemies. The Bible lists the places where they will be.

    Isaiah 11, a clear prophecy of Christ, and him bringing his people back to Israel says, And it

    shall come to pass in that day, thatthe Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover

    the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and fr om Pathros,

    and fr om Cush, and fr om Elam, and from Shinar, and fr om Hamath, and fr om the islands of

    the sea. (v.11). Israel is scattered in Egypt, Germany, Africa, Italy, and of course in the Isles.

    These are the miry clay nations allied with Germany that will enslave the Israelites.

    Another prophecy Isaiah confirms chapter 11, And it shall come to pass in that day, thatthe

    LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be

    gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

    And it shall come to pass in that day, thatthe great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall comewhich were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall

    worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem. (27:12-13).

    Zechariah 10, another prophecy says, I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and

    gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; andplace

    shall not be found for them.And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all

    the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the

    sceptre of Egypt shall depart away. (vv.10-11). Again, Israel in Egypt and Assyria. The Pulpit

    Commentary says, regarding the immediate context, we had better translate, the rod ofEgypt, and see in it an allusion to the oppression of the taskmasters during the sojourn in that

    land. All such tyranny shall be at an end. (comp. Isa_10:24)

    The book of Hosea has prophecies that reveal Ephraim (Britain) again enslaved by Assyria andEgypt. They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they

    shall eat unclean things in AssyriaThey shall tremble as a bird out ofEgypt, and as a dove out

    of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD. (9:3; 11:11).

    The book of Joel shows the Lord fighting for his land and his people, and gathers all nations to

    battle. God says, For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the

    captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

    I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will

    plead with them there for my people andformy heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among

    the nations, and parted my land. (Joel 3:1-2). Israel is scattered and the land of Israel divided asspoils of war. Notice the condition of the Israelites in the next few verses, And they have cast

    lots for my people; and have given a boy for an har lot, and sold a gir l f or wine, that they might

    drink.Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly

    pleasant things:

    The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, thatye might remove them far fr om their border. (3, 5-6). Land is plundered, boys and girls soldand used for despicable purposes, and the Jews removed from Palestine as well.

    Joel continues, Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the

    violence againstthe children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

    (v.19). Egypt and Turkey as we have read in Obadiah and Isaiah, will make war against Judah inan alliance with the Beast, and God will avenge Judah for what they have done to them. These

    are innocent, because in that time of slavery Israel repents of their sins and returns to Almighty

    God, and their hearts have changed.

    Germanys Final Repentance

    God sent the prophet Jonah to ancient Nineveh, the capital of ancient Assyria. The Ninevitesrepented. After World War II, Germany was faced with the question of national repentance. Had

    America and Britain repented of their sins, they could have been used as was Jonah to bring the

    Germans to repentance. But our people refused. We did not show the Germans Gods Way. Wetried to convert them to democracyour human way. But Gods way is not democracy!

    The entire book of Nahumone of the so-called Minor Prophetsis devoted to the finalpunishment of the German-dominated Church-State union yet to arise in Europe. The setting of

    the prophecy is the original fall of Nineveh about 612 B.C. What happened to Nineveh, the

    ancient capital of Assyria, was a type of what will happen in our day! Notice that the actual

    setting of this prophecy is the time of Gods wrath the Day of the Lord (Nahum 1:2, 6).

    That day of Gods intervention is YET FUTURE. It has not happened yet! This prophecy, then, is

    for our day! God said: The pride of Assyria SHALL BE BROUGHT DOWN. Compare this withIsaiah 14:24- 27. This could not happen UNLESS THERE WERE AN ASSYRIA TODAYa nation so

    powerful as finally to be able to carry our people captive in world war (Zech. l0:l0). These

    prophecies are to happen in that day the climactic time of the end, when God intervenes in

    human affairs (Isaiah 30:31 and 31:8).

    When the nations learn their lessonlearn that war does not pay, then In that day shall there

    be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptians

    into Assyria; and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. In that day shall Israel be the thirdwith Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: whom the Lord of hosts

    shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel

    mine inheritance (Isaiah 19:23-25). Yes, that wonderful day of peace is coming. No more war,no more international friction! But before that time there are mighty big lessons to learn, and

    much suffering to be endured. Human beings, it seems, will learn no other way! But for those

    who do repent now, who do seek Gods protection no matter in what nation they liveGodpromises: I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the

    world, to try them that dwell upon the earth (Revelation 3:10).
