German politics are changing fast. “The Germany that most of us have known all our lives is about to change in radical and unpre- dictable ways,” wrote Evans-Pritchard. Germans are weary of weak leadership. They are desperate for a change. Many are looking for a strongman! They want someone with brawn and backbone to rise up and lead the nation—and Europe—out of this malaise. This is critically important. A new strong German leader is one of the key Bible prophe- cies for the end time. We should watch closely for such a man to emerge from this political mess. Herbert W. Armstrong warned for decades about the arrival of such a leader. European nations are becoming “distrustful of America and thinking more and more about uniting themselves into a united states of Europe,” he wrote in March 1950. To do that, they need a “new supreme leader—the successor of Adolf Hitler—to rise up and assert himself and take command.” I have continued this same warning since the Trumpet magazine’s earliest issues. “If a real crisis develops, will the Germans call for a new führer?” I asked in our December 1991 issue. “Your Bible says that is going to hap- pen! That crisis will probably be triggered by an economic collapse in the U.S.” 2 THE PHILADELPHIA TRUMPET | JULY 2021 What Will Happen After Trump Regains Power Bible prophecy shows that he will return to office to stop some of the destruction being caused by the current administration.
