The Longest Day
The credit for the name of June 6, 1944 was attributed to German Field Marshall, Irwin Rommel, who, in anticipation of an Allied invasion of Europe, predicted before the actual event; “… the first 24 hours of the invasion will be decisive…the fate of Germany depends on the outcome…for the Allies, as well as Germany, it will be the longest day.”
Rommel realized that if “Operation Overlord,” could be repelled, it would buy Germany another 6 months before another attempt could be made by the Allies.
Today, June 6, 2021 is the 77th anniversary of the successful invasion of France. An invasion that not only changed the 20th century and beyond, but also was the culmination of the collaboration of the two greatest nations in the history of the world. Their combined might and strength changed history and is perhaps the greatest example of fulfilled prophecy of our lifetimes!
The Phenomenal Rise To Power
For the several years World News & Prophecy Report has covered the story of how Great Britain became “Great.” How the United States, rose quickly to prominence among nations. Together, these nations did what no other dynastic nations in history have done; an ascension to world dominance without enslaving other nations.
Britain defeated would be world ruling dictator Napoleon in June 1815, thus ending the 5th of SEVEN prophesied heads of “The Beast.” Each of these “Beasts” are pictured in Revelation 17, having a relationship with a “woman . . . arrayed in purple and scarlet.” This “woman” is responsible for murdering God’s saints, and is stained with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. (Revelation 17:6)
“Woman” in Revelation 17 is synonymous witha church or religious body. Revelation 17 show a relationship between Church and State (please compare Daniel 7:23). It is no coincidence that the great dictators of Europe, from 554, Justinian, Charlemagne, Otto the Great, Charles V, and Napoleon, all have one thing in common – ALL were crowned as Kings of the Holy Roman Empire, by the Pope, the leader of the European Church!
In 1944, Great Britain and the United States combined their industrial and military might – joined by the nations of the Commonwealth; Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other parts of the British Empire to defeat the 6th Head of the Holy Roman Empire, Nazi Germany and Mussolini’s Italy, in World War 2.
D-Day, June 6, 1944 was the culmination of the victory of two separate but unified peoples. The United States and British Commonwealth have an ancient heritage – countries who developed from tribes, whose origin were families – of brothers. These two brothers – Ephraim and Manasseh, were the sons of Joseph.
These young sons of Joseph were claimed by their grandfather – Jacob – in order to confer the national, birthright blessings on them collectively. (Genesis 48:14-20) Note the words of Genesis 48:20: “By you Israel will bless saying, “May God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh!” The other brothers of Jacob, noted in Genesis 49, have also been guarded by Joseph through history.
For over 200 years, these nations have led the world, and twice in the 20th century, defeated nations intent on imposing dictatorial rule over the world. Ephraim – Britain, and Manasseh — America, stand alone among all nations, protecting many nations from despots and dictators.
77 Years Ago Today
The defeat of the Axis powers in World War 2 would not have been possible without the landed force of 150,000 men from the British Commonwealth and American armies. Is there any prophetic significance to the events that concluded the devastating effects of World War 2?
Note the prophecy in the book of Micah that anciently predicted the power of the descendants of Joseph (remembering that Jacob claimed Joseph’s sons as his own):
“And the remnant of Jacob Shall be among the Gentiles, In the midst of many peoples, Like a lion among the beasts of the forest, Like a young lion among flocks of sheep, Who, if he passes through, Both treads down and tears in pieces, And none can deliver. 9 Your hand shall be lifted against your adversaries, And all your enemies shall be cut off.” (Micah 5:7-9)
The important parts of this prophecy are the remnant of Jacob – a key that alludes to a future time. Jacob is pictured among the nations, (beasts) and “if’” he passes through – meaning he didn’t seek to engage them but intervenes of necessity.
D-Day brought about the liberation of Europe, and the beginning of 77 years of Anglo-American beneficent dominance among the nations of the world.
Anniversaries Are Important
On various anniversaries, American Presidents have paid homage to the sacrifice of the Allied Forces landing on the beaches of Normandy. Historically the remarks by an American President have been the most important statements due to the resilient power of America, and its continuing contribution to insuring the freedom of the world.
These occasions are important, because past events reinforce actions that should be repeated, and mistakes that need avoidance. But the 75th anniversary remembrance of D-Day in 2019, when President Trump addressed world leaders, may be the last significant remembrance of the contribution of “The Greatest Generation.” In 1938, the 75th Anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg was the last such significant memorial of the Civil War. There were fewer than 8,000 survivors of the Civil War. The centennial celebration of the end of the Civil War in 1965, was largely ignored in the United States. Now, as then, the survivors of the Normandy invasion are all but gone.
The Miracle At Normandy
Despite all the planning of the invasion, there were many more disadvantages than advantages faced by the Allied forces. The weather had turned for the better for the invasion, but it was by no means perfect. The crossing of the English Channel was rough for the flotilla of thousands of ships, and especially for the thousands of landing craft. Many of the troops were horribly sea sick when they were to disembark their landing craft.
The wide beaches of Normandy were protected with powerful machine guns high atop the bluffs of the beach. Often times the landing craft carrying troops to the beach faced heavy fire as they neared land. Those landing early suffered up to a 90% casualty rate. Many who experienced an early landing that day, in the confusion and chaos, watched the killing field that were the beaches of Normandy, convinced that the invasion had failed.
President Franklin Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill both led their respective nations in prayer, beseeching God for a successful invasion.
The Rise of Europe (One more time)
The unification of Europe in the middle of the 20th century, through anarchy, failed. But Bible Prophecy shows us that Europe will rise again, and this time will become the most dominant power in the world – surpassing the United States, China and Russia.
Once again, there will be union of Church and State that will unite Europe. In their blind rage, these nations will attack Jesus Christ at His return. (Revelation 17:13-14)
The unity, sacrifice and devotion of those days will be remembered today, but unfortunately, those memories will not translate to a renewed sense of unity among our nations. The Greatest Generation changed the world, but as the few remaining veterans fade away, the sacrifice of those times will as well.
The final resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire — the 7th and final “Beast” or government , and Church and State alliance is still on the prophetic horizon.
As the prominence and power of the United States is fading quickly, China is flexing its economic and military might, and Russia is considering its options, attempting unification with former parts of the United Soviet Socialist Republic, do not lose sight of events in Europe!
