I have not verified the information that I had recently posted regarding both Van Rompuy and Barroso co-chairing the G20 summits, but it seems to be fairly accurate.
I may be wrong in this of course but if it is spot on then we may be looking correctly identifying the Antichrist and the False Prophet consecutively?
Revelation Chapter 13 tells us there are two beasts. The first beast mentioned comes out of the sea, meaning the Mediterranean Sea. Accordingly, the Antichrist would be appointed as the full time president of the European Council of Ministers - as has been the case with Van Rompuy.
Whereas we are told that the second beast comes out of the earth, meaning the nations; as we know Barroso has been around for quite a while and is the president of the European Union Commission, so he comes out of the nations of the EU.
I do not believe we will have to wait until the Antichrist moves in the temple to identify him but we were able to know who he was by his appointment as the first ever full time EU president.
Now look what has happened, first came the appointment of Van Rompuy and now both he and Barroso intend to co-chair 20 summit meetings; that sequence of events has happened in exactly the order that the prophecies have told us it would.
That being the case it also now looks as if Sarkozy was nothing more than what many have said he was - and that he was simply preparing the way for what is now starting to become a reality.
There is going to be some form of gathering of God’s people on the day of the Lord but I still do not like to use the word Rapture simply because that brings to mind images of millions and millions of people suddenly floating up into the air and into Heaven BEFORE the signing of the covenant of the Antichrist and I simply cannot ever see that happening.
