I met a man today who was travelling back to France after being over here in Australia on business. He told me that he travels the world as a part of his day to day activities meeting up with various peoples as a financial advisor.
One would suppose that as his job is to communicate with all peoples of all nations and languages (with English being the universal language) he would have to have a fairly strong command of the English language so that he could perform his job. Accordingly, even though he was predominately a French speaker his English, although broken, was quiet good.
As I was travelling with him in the same direction for a fairly lengthy period of time I thought this was a very good opportunity to witness to him relative to things of the Lord? In particular, I thought that this was a good time to witness to him relative to the viewpoint that I hold relative to the EU being the Final World Empire before the return back onto the earth of the Lord Jesus Christ?
As he was a resident of France, one would suppose that he would have a fairly strong grasp of the culture, of not only his native France, but of the general area of the EU as well? As he did?
However, when I explained to him that there was going to be one man who was going to take over the presidency of the EU, and that it was going to be that man who have total control over every person within the sphere of the EU from the cradle to the grave, that was not something that he seemed to except as being factual at all?
Furthermore, when I said that there may be a president of the EU duly elected sometime next year in much the same manner as the president of the United States is elected he, more or less, then went on to say that such a proposition was nigh on impossible to even contemplate at all.
He had said that each and every nation was far too selfish and concerned with their own well being to be ever bothered about the other nations within the EU for that to ever happen. Furthermore, He then went on to say that even though the EU had a single currency there was no way in the whole world that every nation within the EU was going to give up and hand their sovereignty over to one man.
However, the facts of the matter are that once the member nations had given up their own particular currencies and accepted the EU as being their currency that was effectively what the 27 member nations of the EU have done.
He was still right up to a point though. Nevertheless the only problem was that as a non Bible reader he could not see the all over picture? In the eyes of the carnal/fleshy man there was no way in the whole world that he could ever see this happening. Just as those who are not in the Lord could ever see this happening as was the instance in his case.
However happen it will, and because the Lord says it will happen he will place in the minds of the 500 million or so odd citizens of the EU for it to happen, simply because the Bible prophecies must be fullfilled, as they will be fullfilled as surely as the sun is to rise in the morning.
