Sadly, there continue to be massive protests and riots. Let’s look at some reports. Euronews recently reported ──
24 October 2026Clashes between French police and protesters after largely peaceful demonstrations that drew thousandsOrganizers said more than 800,000 took part in demonstrations across the country, with 250,000 in Paris alone. Authorities said 410,000 demonstrated nationwide. The protests were over the high cost of living and lack of funding for education. …Those protests then went nationwide before expanding to include wider society.
Well… now──yeah, for me, watching these riots thousands of miles away in the U.S. ── yes, they certainly looked “peaceful” to me──I say sarcastically. Apparently, some in Europe want to just lie to themselves. A type of self-deception!
24 October 2026Italy: Thousands take to the streets as protests turn violent in several citiesClashes erupted between protesters and police across several Italian cities on Saturday, with officers deploying water cannons and tear gas as demonstrations turned violent.

Ah, yes! Sadly, most U.S. mainstream media news outlets are trying their best to spin a yarn ── it reminds me of the story of Rumpelstiltskin, who spun a “yarn” about himself ── they are spinning a certain narrative that these protests are “peaceful” and that they are protesting over the high cost of living and lack of funding for education. They may have started because of those reasons ── but that is no longer the reason! In those videos, I noticed they tended to show only “peaceful” marches, where people walking along look like they are saying to themselves, “How did I get here in this crowd?”
What about in Germany?
Notice this from News Cord ──
23 Oct 2026Germany’s Gen Z Stands Up Protests Spread Across Europe Ahead of 21 CitiesOver 10,000 people have registered for protests in 21 German cities on Oct. 31. Europe protests cite high living costs, housing shortages, and education funding, from France to Germany.
We are indeed witnessing a greater number of protests all across Europe. And it appears not to be stopping anytime soon.
Notice part of a dual prophecy spoken of by the Prophet Daniel concerning a time when there will be established a temporary ‘peace deal’ in the Middle East that looks to last some 3½ years. The seventy‑week prophecy ──
“ … the people of the prince who is to come [the prince here was Titus, who led the Roman siege, breached the walls, and the Second Temple was burned, ending the Jewish revolt in 70 AD] Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined.
27) Then he [a future Catholic-led European ‘beast’ leader] shall confirm a covenant [a ‘peace deal’] with many for ONE WEEK [each day for a year; therefore 7 years]; but in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. …” – Daniel 9:26-27.
So, this end-time final ‘prince’ who is to rise will be a Catholic-led European civic and military leader, also called a final ‘king of the North’ in Daniel 11:40. The ‘one week’ is generally understood to mean a SEVEN-YEAR PEACE DEAL that will be broken after only 3½ years.
Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, warned us that there will come, in the latter days, a time of trouble ── a time of ‘great tribulation’ ── ‘such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be’! And this grave trouble will befall Judah ── modern-day Israel. (cf. Matthew 24:15-22).
Let us also notice something else that God’s living word teaches us concerning the soon-coming final ‘king of the North’ ──
“ … in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things.” – Daniel 11:38.
Daniel 11:38 describes a ruler who honors a “god of fortresses” ── likely symbolizing military power and strength. This represents trusting in human might rather than spiritual authority. Historically, this referred to Antiochus IV’s focus on fortifying military strongholds, but it also foreshadows a future figure who glorifies human power above all else. He likely will feign and claim Roman Catholicism but will turn to a religion his fathers nor his forefathers had known ── massive military technological weapons the likes of which this world has never seen; much of which will likely be weapons created using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), or nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapons (EMP’s), and even tactical nuclear weapons (TNW’s).
Truly, the LORD God’s immutable word teaches His servants──things which must shortly take place. And what His word shows us is that this final Catholic-led European ‘beast’ leader will be highly militaristic and is also called ‘a beast rising up out of the Mediterranean Sea’ – Revelation 13:1-4.
Sadly, there is coming greater violence and civil unrest throughout Europe.
This is certainly setting the stage for this final beast to rise ── along with the rising of ‘another beast coming up out of the earth, having two horns like a lamb, yet speaking like a dragon’!
Never, brethren, are we to be ignorant of the Devil and Satan’s devices ── including using an innocent-looking “Vicar of Christ” having two horns like an innocent lamb yet speaking with Satan’s own authority! ── 2 Corinthians 2:11.
Truly, when our Lord Jesus’ Witnesses soon come on the scene (cf. Matthew 24:9-14), traveling the world, standing before kings, leaders of nations, and even ‘standing before the god of the earth ── Satan the Devil himself! ── warning and proclaiming of the soon-coming Kingdom of God and of God’s ultimate judgment upon the people of Earth, most people will be deceived, and they will ‘be offended, will betray one another, will hate one another.’ Most will not recognize this Catholic-led European ‘beast’ power for what it truly is, nor will they recognize the Antichrist!
Many false prophets will rise up and will deceive many. And it saddens me to know that most everyone will fall for this deceit according to God’s living word ──
“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4) who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. … 9) The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs and lying wonders. 10) and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11) And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12) that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” – 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, 9-12.
Today, in these perilous times, events in Europe and the Middle East are occurring that are setting the stage for the final fulfillment of these and other biblical prophecies. □
