Is There a German Fourth Reich?

Nearly four years ago, I read a book by Jim Marrs titled Rise of the Fourth Reich, concerning the New World Order. In the book,  Jim Marrs builds a case that some surviving members of Germany's Third Reich, along with sympathizers in the United States, had given safe haven by organizations like ODESSA and Die Spinne. These former Nazis have been working behind the scenes since the end of World War II to enact at least some of the principles of Nazism (e.g. militarism, fascism, conquest, widespread spying on citizens, use of corporations and propaganda to control national interests and ideas) into culture, government, and business worldwide, but primarily in the United States. He believes Germany will rise again and be the key leader economically and militarily. There is a Fourth German Reich in the making.

I've made few connections in the past week:

1. Germany is one of the top countries in creating a sustainable planet with innovative technology, they ride bicycles everywhere, and their population is moderate compared to neighboring countries. They are the model of what Pres. Obama and New Agers want for our country.
2. Pres. Obama addressed the German people at the beginning of his presidency, calling for a New World Order.
3. Pope Benedict recently made his first official visit to Germany in Sept. 2011.
4. Max Keiser, a news journalist for Russia Today, has apparently been talking about the possibility of Germany becoming the head of the NWO.

Known to cover New Age subjects, Project Camelot interviewed Jim Marrs and discussed his book, along with some other controversial subjects. He brings together many of these conspiracy subjects to provide a broader view of what is going on.

Interviews with Max Keiser

• Keiser says that Germany is able to break away from the Euro and compete against China head to head, and they will have their own banking system.
• Half of Germany's gold supply is held at the Federal Reserve Bank in NY City. The U.S. could try to commandeer their gold as the currency war heats up - which has been speculated.
• Russians and Germans are friends.

• The underlying reality of what is happening in the crisis in Europe is that Germany is going to arise from the rubble of WWII and is working on its reappearance as imperialist Germany. One of the reasons the Euro was created was to deter having Germany from rising again. Its obvious that this has been planned for a long time.
• There is talk about Greece being S. Germany.

• In the above report from Russia Today, dated 3 Oct 2011, Germany is printing the Deutsche Mark again.[1]

Many believe the Euro will collapse, so Germany will be protected by backing out of the collapsing currency - allowing them to continue to grow.[2]

Is This in Bible Prophecy?
First, I need to say that I am not an expert in Bible prophecy, and I don't favor the idea that the Antichrist will come out of the Middle East. I think its a distraction to keep the focus off of the true evil sitting behind the curtain. The following quote may be wrong, but it goes along with how things are presently playing out. According to Tomorrowsworld.org,

"Germany will play a dominant role on the world stage just before Jesus Christ returns. The Bible calls the nation by its ancient name—Assyria. Scripture shows that ten nations in Europe will surrender their sovereignty to a revived version of the Roman Empire (Rev.17:12–18). This "beast" power will be aided by a prominent religious figure and organization linked with Rome (Daniel 7:24–25; Rev.13:11–18). The leaders of this " revived" beast power (which is also called "the king of the North") will persecute true Christians.

This power will punish Israelite nations that have abandoned God's ways (America, Britain, and other nations of northwest European descent), and will launch military operations in the Middle East and against powers to the north and east on the Eurasian continent (Daniel 11:40–45; Hosea 11:1–11). The Bible clearly identifies Assyria—modern Germany—as the leading nation of this end-time beast power, and indeed modern Germany is taking a place on the world stage that matches what the Bible has long prophesied."  

As I said, I may be completely wrong about this. The question remains to whether Germany is genuinely descendents of Assyria. Germany certainly does carry all the tell-tale signs.
