Is It Time For The '10 Kings' To Emerge?

43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

(Daniel 2)

23 “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. 24 The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. 25 He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.[b]

(Daniel 7)

12 “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hourwill receive authority as kings along with the beast.13 They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast.

(Revelation 17)

EU tipped for catastrophic breakup as Brexit hits German exports to UK

Martina Bet

German exports to the UK plunged by almost a third in January, as the downward trend since Brexit continues to gather pace. A preliminary estimate published this week by the Federal Statistics Office reveals that the UK’s divorce from the EU, combined with coronavirus, helped trigger a nearly 30 percent slump in German exports to Britain in the first month of the year. That was nearly double the 15.5 percent decline in 2020, which was the biggest annual drop since the financial crisis in 2009, according to the agency.

The new figures are not the only thing Mrs Merkel has to worry about, though, as a recent survey published by FAZ also reveals German companies spent 2.2 percent less on innovation last year than in 2019.

He explained: "FAZ says one of the factors is Brexit, which has added to the uncertainties of the pandemic. Another factor – which is not reflected in the data – is a reduced efficiency of the investments.

"Our suspicion is that the growing gap in digital infrastructure is a factor.

"What the ZEW data show is that large companies kept investing. Virtually all of the decline is due to small and medium sized companies, where investments in innovation fell by nine percent."

The survey and the trade slump might have raised alarm bells in the EU, as according to German MEP Gunnar Beck the bloc will start crumbling when German money runs out.

He told Express.co.uk: "EU leaders absolutely want European integration... why?

"It's a mystery to me because, so far, they haven't been successful.

"The European Community was relatively successful but things started going down the drain with the single currency and so on.

"The economic performance of the last 25 years has been abysmal."

Mr Beck noted: "But will the EU break up?

"That depends on how much German money is left.

"The EU will come under extreme strain when German money runs out.

"The German economy performed well until two, three years ago but now it is not performing that well compared to other successful economies in the world.

"Its fiscal situation is deteriorating quite fast."

Mr Beck also furiously criticised German Chancellor Angela Merkel for agreeing to the EU's recovery fund, accusing her of being the most expensive Chancellor in the history of his country.

He said: "Merkel is always giving away in the end.

"Paying money to save the euro.
