The Great German Nation: Origins and Destiny Craig White

Who exactly are the Germans XE'Germans' ? From whichancestor of Noah XE 'Noah' do theydescend? Might their rootsbe found in the ancient Middle East XE'Middle East' ? Does theBible - God's precious Word - have anything to say with regard to the verytalented German XE 'German' peoples andtheir ancient roots? Or does God ignore major nations such as Germany in His Word? These fascinatingand highly talented people have been central to world history. Notice achilling comment in an article on Russia by Peter Zeihan: "... historyreally does run in cycles. Take Europefor example. European history is a chronicle of the rise and fall of itsgeographic center. As Germany rises, the powers on its peripherybuckle under its strength and are forced to pool resources in order to beatback Berlin. As Germany falters, thepower vacuum at the middle of the Continent allows the countries on Germany'sborders to rise in strength and become major powers themselves. Since the formation of the first "Germany" in 800, this cyclehas set the tempo and tenor of European affairs. A strong Germanymeans consolidation followed by a catastrophic war; a weak Germany creates a multilateralconcert of powers and multistate competition (often involving war, but not onnearly as large a scale). For Europe this cycle of German rise and fall has runits course three times -- the Holy Roman Empire, Imperial Germany, Nazi Germany-- and is only now entering its fourth iteration with thereunified Germany".
