Germany in ProphecyThe Bible is a book of governments. It dealt with the world ruling governments of the ancientworld, and it deals with the modern day superpowers of Today! What does prophecy say aboutthis coming Beast that will come on the world scene in the very near future? What nation willhe come from?In the book of Revelation Jesus fights the Beast at his coming. In the Old Testament, prophecies,YHWH, who is Christ, fights the “Assyrian” at his coming, and then sets up the Kingdom ofGod. Notice the Old Testament prophecies:Isaiah 30 reveals the “Mountain of YHWH” being set up (verse 29), meaning the Kingdom ofGod, see Isaiah 2; Micah 4; Daniel 2:35, 40-45.Then, “. through the voice of YHWH shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with arod” (v.31). At the time of the setting up of the Kingdom of God, God will strike at the“Assyrian,” and defeat him because they make war with him. The method of destroying theAssyrian is by the “Voice” of God, by divine Command. As another scripture says, “Then shallthe Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shalldevour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.” (Isaiah31:8). 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 whichthou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kingsone hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto thebeast.These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he isLord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, andfaithful.And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, [THE WORD OF GOD HEB 4:12] thatwith it he should smite the nations:.And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and theirarmies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against hisarmy.And the beast [THE ASSYRIAN] was taken, and with him the false prophet that wroughtmiracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, andthem that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning withbrimstone.And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, whichsword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. [see alsoEzekiel 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 ofdecision: for the day of the LORD is near 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 departfrom off their shoulders” (Isaiah 14:25). As noted above the Beast is singled out and “taken” andtossed 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!BICOG PublicationPage 2
Germany in ProphecyWhat Happened to Assyria?After the fall of Assyria by Babylon, what happened to the Assyrians? This nation seems to havevanished from History? Or did they? The Bible plainly says that Assyria will play a vital role inthis end time. What happened to them?The book of Nahum tell us that these people migrated NORTH in to the mountains towardsEurope: “Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thypeople is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them” (3:18). The onlymountains that are in the region of Assyria are the Caucasus Mountains between the Black andthe Caspian Sea. The Assyrian nation was situated just SOUTH of those mountains, and it wasoften 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 Adrammelechand Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia.And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead” (2 Kings 19:36-37). Modern translations renderArmenia as “Ararat,” which is between the Black and the Caspian sea just NORTH of Assyria.Where did they go from here? This booklet will follow the Assyrians from ancient Assyria totheir 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 the Hittite /Assyrian Empire).BICOG PublicationPage 3
Germany in ProphecyAssyria’s Tribal NamesTo the Spaniards, Germany is “Alemania,” and a German is “Un Aleman.” Other importantnames applied to the German peoples by the Romans were: “Hatti” (the ancestors of the modernHessians), the “Alemani” and “Suabi,” the “Quadi,” the “Casuari” and others. The Romanscalled them collectively “Germani”, meaning “War-men” (from the “Encyclopedia Britannica”,article, “Germany”). Let’s compare the names of Asshur’s descendants to that given by theRomans. It will give us some striking clues about the identity of the modern Assyrians. Thoughnot listed in the Bible, they can be found in ancient histories and Bible Encyclopedia’s. TheAssyrian 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, Quadians3. Kassites or Cossaei Chauci4. Almani Allemaniin in Latin. We can thank the Roman historian Tacitus for these tribal namesof the Assyrians, in the Latin Tongue in his “Germania.”Assyrian Names in Bible LandsWe 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 meanswall). Kir was a Mesopotamian city of the lower Tigris River.” (Holman Bible Dictionary,under “Kir.”). The Assyrians controlled and occupied this city for many years. Is it so strangethat 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 called‘Germans,’ a general name used by the Romans to describe many similar tribes.There is anaccount of Herodotus which supports the conclusion that the Kermans and the Germans were oneand the same people.Clearly the term ‘German’ originated in the region [of Assyria], and laterspread into Europe. As the reader can see, the ancient term ‘Germanii’ was virtually unchangedas it became ‘Germany’ or ‘Germania’ in Europe.It is this books opinion that the Germanii orKermans were originally the ASSYRIANS.Even today the name ‘Kerman’ is attached to a cityin Southern Iran” (Lost Ten Tribes.Found, p.341, emphasis mine). The region in Iran is calledKharmania or Carmania. The oriental Kerman rugs, recognized the world over for their finequality, are made by this region.BICOG PublicationPage 4
Germany in ProphecyAncient Cilicia — Modern Silesia-The ancient city of Germanicopolis was located INCILICIA, in southeastern Asia Minor according to Ammianus Marellinus, book 1, § 27. Itbelonged of old to the Hatti. Cilicia is mentioned several places in the Bible. Paul was born inCilicia (Acts 21:39 and 22:3). Now look at a map of Europe. We find that one of the easternPROVINCES OF PRE-WORLD WAR II GERMANY IS CALLED SILESIA! — spelledslightly different, but pronounced the same! The name of Cilicia in Asia Minor was simplytransplanted to Eastern Germany by the Hatti who migrated from Cilicia to Silesia, then to theRhine.The Appearance of the AssyriansSo 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 wasafterwards Assyria, the neighbour land to Akkad” (page 5 of “The Sumerians” by C. LeonardWoolley). 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.Modern Day AssyriansThese are three photos of Assyrians who still live in the ancient land ofAssyria in Mesopotamia. Notice their similarity to the Germans of Europe.See how different they are from their Arab neighbors.Apparently, Assyrians were considered to be of similar ethnicity to the Germans bysome Arabs: “Medieval Arab authors say that the Assyrians are from the same sourceas the Germans.Barhebraeus, a Syria Bishop living during the twelfth century wrotethat ‘The Germanikah are a people in Mosel (Nineveh) who came from Persia’.Arabtradition have the Germanikah as Assyrians.” (Gemol M. Israelites und Hyksos.Leipzig, 1913, pp.88-90, as shown translated in White, p. 92).Some Assyrians were described as having black or dark hair, while Sir William Smithreported of the Northern Germans: “The Germans were a branch of the great IndoGermanic race, who, along with the Celts, migrated into Europe from the Caucasus, andthe countries around the Black and Caspian seas, at a period long anterior to historicalrecords. They are described as a people of high stature and of great bodily strength,with fair complexions, blue eyes, and yellow or red hair.” (Smith W. A smaller classicaldictionary of biography, mythology, and geography. Harper, 1877. Original fromHarvard University, Digitized Jan 24, 2008, p. 175).*Photo from Chicago Museum of Natural History.Language of the AssyriansAlthough the Assyrians were Semitic in origin, apparently the Assyrians acquired the IndoGermanic 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 contextas one of the commanders of the Assyrian army. It is notable that Tidal is not a Semitic name,BICOG PublicationPage 5
Germany in Prophecybut 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 1850B.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 theSemitic dialect, although the Assyrians, who lived there, could not even pronounce all of theSemitic consonants.However, if the Assyrians did not speak a Semitic language, why then do we find Assyrianwritten 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 (884–859 B.C.) brought large numbers of western Arameansor Syrians into the heartland of Assyria, who were then swelling the ranks of the court, and thatby 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 languagethe Germanic language is derived. This development is not unusual and was actually repeatedlater in Germany. We recall that Latin became the official language for written documents, whilethe 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 IndoGermanic language when they arrived in Northwestern Europe? The obvious answer is, theywere forced to learn it as a result of their captivity! The common tongue of the Assyrians was notonly Semitic, but Indo-Germanic!Bravo of TroyWho has not heard of the famous Trojan horse that was built at the time of the Trojan War? In1183 B.C., the famous city of Troy fell into Greek hands. This occurred during the time of thebiblical 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 finallycaptured after a ten-year siege, an Assyrian soldier named Bravo fled Troy and migrated toEurope where he settled in the area around the German city of Trier. An old chronicle tells usthat 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.BICOG PublicationPage 6
Germany in ProphecyThe Mysterious Origin of TrierThis brings us to the question of the origin of Trier. Official records teach us that Trier was builtby the Romans. But there is also another version:In the market square in Trier, there is a building called “Rotes Haus” (“Red House”). A Latininscription on the house proclaims that Trier existed 1300 years before the founding of Rome. Itsays: “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 theinscription 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 beenbuilt 4000 years ago by the Assyrian prince Trebeta. Supposedly the name “Trier” is derivedfrom “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 maintainthat their city is the oldest in all Europe. Trier was founded by Trebeta, a son of the famousAssyrian King Ninus.” The fact that Ninus was an Assyrian king is confirmed by Deodorus ofSicily (History, Volume II).Legend has it that with the death of King Ninus, his son Trebeta fled from his wicked stepmotherSemiramis, 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, today’s Trier.Next to the Red House is a building called “Steipe.” Eyewitnesses reported seeing on the secondfloor of this house a picture that represents Ninus and Trebeta. Today, that painting can beviewed in the “Stadtmuseum Simeonstift,” which is located next to the Tourist Office and thefamous Porta Nigra.The Red House in Trier; inset: a sign in German statingthe age of the building.In this painting, which states at the bottom that it waspainted in 1559 A.D., Ninus is wearing a crown with theinscription “Ninus Rex”, or “King Ninus.” At the bottomof the painting is a caption saying that Trier was foundedby Trebeta.In an old book that was originally published in 1851,“Trier und seine Umgebungen in Sagen und Liedern,” it isstated on page v that the ancient oral legend that Trebetabuilt Trier had already been reduced to writing prior to909 A.D., in the “Gestis Trevirorum,” through the monkEberhard of the St. Matthew monastery.BICOG PublicationPage 7
Germany in ProphecyIf, therefore, Trebeta, son of King Ninus, founded Trier and settled there with many Assyriansubjects, then it is no wonder that later the Assyrian soldier Bravo was welcomed to the areaaround Trier by Assyrians, who at that time (around 1180 B.C.) still lived there. This alsoexplains 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 Smith’s ClassicalDictionary freely admits in the article “Germania,” on page 361: “There can be no doubt thatthey [the Germans] immigrated to Europe from the Caucasus and the countries around the Blackand Caspian seas.”The Mysterious Hatti TribeThe 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.” (TheHittites: 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 theirown 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 largeand 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 Egyptianpaintings they wore their hair in pigtails.” (Jewish Encyclopedia under “Hittites”). These weretransported 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 bythe overthrow of their Syrian Empire by the Assyrian Sargon, and their consequent banishmentor 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 theIsraelites and others, dwelt in the land of the Hittites, and carried the name of the “Hatti” withthem. As we see in history, other Assyrian tribes and kings knew very well that Assyrians livedin 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 Hattiwere regarded “ AS ASSYRIANS I [ac]counted them” Obviously, that referred to thoseAssyrians who 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 “NinusVetus — the old Nineveh” (“History of Art in Sardinia, Judaea, Syria and Asia Minor”, by G.Perrot and C. Chipiez, Vol. II, page 272). Nineveh was Assyria’s capital! The Empire of Hattiand the Empire of Assyria were the same Empire — not two empires existing five centuries apartas historians assume.Excavated records from Bible times PROVE that the great rulers of the land of Hatti were notonly contemporary with the famous kings of Assyria, but were also federated with them. Allancient Greek 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.
