With its "humane gathering place", "diversity carpet" and £280m cost it is perhaps apt that it has been heralded as the building that "houses the heart of Europe".
While Herman Van Rompuy, the EU president, has described his "Europa building" as a "jewel box", David Cameron has been less enthusiastic dubbing it a "gilded cage".
However, perhaps even more unfortunate is the moniker the edifice, which will house Mr Van Rompuy's presidential office and be home to future Brussels summits from 2014, has earned from EU officials.
Built as a state of the art glass and wood wing to an existing Art Deco building, the complex focused around a womblike central structure providing a home for summits and meetings of Brussels officials or diplomats.
And it this organic looking "urn" shape has already been nicknamed the "E-Uterus" by Council of the EU officials who will be working in the new building.
"It looks like a womb and, I am sure, many grand visions of Europe will be birthed from there," quipped one official.
Unveiled to EU leaders by Mr Van Rompuy in a 14-page slick colour prospectus, produced at a cost of £100,000, when they sat down to a Brussels summit dinner on Thursday night formally dedicated to imposing a savage austerity programme on Greece.
Before discussing the Greek debt crisis that has threatened the existence of the euro, Mr Van Rompuy surprised EU leaders, who were tucking into a starter of scallops with artichoke vinaigrette, by trumpeting the venue, due to open in 2014, which will come complete with a "colourful woven carpet" to represent "European diversity".
David Cameron, the Prime Minister, expressed his anger at the promotion of a grandiose Brussels project at a moment when EU leaders were supposed to be taking tough decisions that would lead to painful austerity measures imposed on millions of people.
"When you see a document being circulated, a great glossy brochure about some great new building for the European Council to sit in, it is immensely frustrating. You do wonder if these institutions get what every country, what every member of the public, has to go through as we cut budgets and try making our finances add up," he said.
"I do think it's important as we do that that the politicians aren't sitting in some gilded cage asking everyone else to take responsibility."
Bill Cash, chairperson of the House of Commons European Scrutiny Committee said: "We need an investigation into the extravagance and the cost of this Aladdin's palace. It is a cross between the bonfire of the vanities and Kafka's Castle."
Over the last 14 years, EU leaders, ministers and diplomats have been meeting in a building called the Justus Lipsius, which is regarded as too cramped and drab to represent a body that has grown from 15 member states to 27.
The complex of buildings will also house the offices of Mr Van Rompuy, the president of the European Council, a job created by the Lisbon Treaty.
Mr Cameron, who had dined the night before with other leaders on black cod with onion ragout washed down with a 2009 Sancerre wine, said that he regretted that the decision, taken seven years ago, to build a new EU venue could not be reversed.
"I've only been to this building seven times in the last year but it seems to me to be to do a perfectly good job. The microphones work, there is plenty of room and the food isn't bad either," he said.
With almost 27,000 sq metres of floor space, the new edifice is the latest development in a burgeoning post-Lisbon Treaty euro quarter in Brussels.
It will be a new environmentally friendly addition to the existing Residence Palace, built in the 1920s to houses luxury apartments for officials, commercial offices, a private theatre, swimming pool and restaurants.
The palace requisitioned in 1940 as the headquarters of the German army during the Nazi occupation of Belgium during the Second World War.
Emma Boon of the Taxpayers' Alliance said: "We're cutting back at home and we can't afford more ludicrous spending by Eurocrats. This is yet more evidence that we shouldn't hand any more money to Europe, they're already wasting the millions we give them each day."
There has been literally thousands and thousands of Christians, ever since time immemorial, who have tried unsuccessfully to identify the Antichrist and his False Prophet.
If for no other reason than to know who the Antichrist was may spoil the fulfillment for the remainder of the Bible prophecies, for Christians to know who the Antichrist is before the timing was right was always going to be virtually impossible.
There have been some who have been saying that we would not know who the Antichrist was until the restrainer had been removed?
However, there is no one, nor is there anything that is restraining the Antichrist other than the Antichrist himself. That is the real and only reason why we would never know who the Antichrist was until he choose to come forth himself.
That is not to say that I have it all together and have identified the Antichrist. For me, (or anyone else for that matter) to make such a claim before the treaty of Daniel was confirmed would be nothing more than ludicrous, and indeed irresponsible.
The reason for that being is that if I openly come out and say that I know this one, or that one, is the Antichrist then I not only run the risk of leading those who take my word for it up the garden path if I am wrong.
Furthermore, I also run the risk of losing all credibility for making statements that are simply not true. Accordingly, anything else I say in the future relative to correctly identifying the Antichrist may be treated with genuine skepticism.
Two men appear concurrently run the EU together. Collectively, they fit into the categories of those I have mentioned above of the Antichrist and the False Prophet.
I shall explain why I think they are as I have suggested above in the following paragraphs.
Some of this ground has already been gone over before but just for the sake of this exercise, I will reiterate some of what I have said beforehand.
Please keep in mind though that the bottom line still remains that all I have, or shall make mention of, is nothing more than just my opinion only, and so in that sense I still maybe wrong, as I usually am 9 times out of 10.
So here we go. This is the best guess that I can make now relative to the correct identity of both the Antichrist and the False Prophet. The evidence now points to the current head of the Euro zone, Herman Van Rompuy, as being the Antichrist and the current French president, Nicholas Sarkozy, as being the False Prophet.
THE ANTICHRIST - HERMAN VAN ROMPUY
KJV -- REVELATION CHAPTER 13 - VERSES 1 TO 3
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
The Eurozone currently consists of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain.
Those 17 nations mentioned above have adopted the Euro.
As per the prophecy of Revelation Chapter 13, seven of those nations are the heads, or the governing bodies. The remaining numbers of those 10 nations are the ten CROWNS mentioned in the prophecy.
There are 27; member nations of the EU there are still 10 member nations of the EU outside the eurozone that do not use the euro. Those ten nations are Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Those nations mentioned in the prophecy as the HORNS that are upon the CROWNS. The second verse is quite self-explanatory so there is no need to explain it in any detail as that is not the purpose of this article.
When it says the Antichrist receives a wound to death, it does not infer the Antichrist receives a wound that results in his death and then miraculously recovers by having a resurrection akin to the resurrection of Christ. With Satan that is impossible as Satan only takes life and souls -- but does not give life.
The third verse refers to one of the heads as having a fatal wound. See the aforementioned. That is, it refers to one of the governing bodies of the eurozone as having a fatal wound.
Therefore, it does not refer to the man, the Antichrist, as having a fatal wound, but instead refers to a nation - Belgium. More correctly, it is telling us the Antichrist is an ex Belgium Prime Minister.
The founder of the EU was Henri Spaak, a former Belgium Prime Minister is the one who has had the fatal wound, but the wound healed when another Belgium Prime Minister, Herman Van Rompuy, replaces him.
Therefore the verses are telling us that the Antichrist from Belgium and is an ex Belgium Prime Minister, as per the above mentioned.
Please note: The above explanation does not give me the right to say, or make claim to being a prophet, as I am not saying right here right now that I am to see into the future, but that I have only noted the aforementioned after the prophecy has been fulfilled, and not before. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
THE FALSE PROPHET - NICHOLAS SARKOZY
KJV -- REVELATION CHAPTER 13 - VERSES 11 TO 18
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
There does not seem much mentioned in the Holy Scriptures relative to the False Prophet. Therefore, most people assume that he is not as bad as the Antichrist.
However, the facts of the matter are that the False Prophet is worse than the Antichrist simply because he forces everyone to take the mark, and then in doing so destroys souls. On the other hand, the Antichrist destroys something that is perishable anyway - the outside shell or bodies - not that, that is bad enough.
The False Prophet has two horns meaning that he has two nations behind him, as does Nicholas Sarkozy with those two nations being France and Germany. Nicholas Sarkozy speaks only French most of the time. Therefore, he speaks like a dragon -
He does not seek authority for himself but instead gives all of his authority over to the Antichrist.
Nicholas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel had written to Herman Van Rompuy asking him to head the Euro zone member nations. Therefore, he is handing what authority that he has over to Van Rompuy, even as he acts on behalf of Van Rompuy, with all the authority of Van Rompuy.
Finally, Sarkozy is lining himself up to replace the current head of the IMF when both he and she resign sometime next year. Thereby, by taking over as the head of the IMF he will place himself strategically in place to force everyone to take the Mark.
That is about all that I have at this stage. Nevertheless, as has been the case over thousands and thousands of years, the understanding, and thus the interpretation of the Bible prophecies is so transparent and difficult to understand that what I, or others for that matter, may have said even as long ago as a week, may suddenly change overnight when new and fresh Revelations are brought to light.
With its "humane gathering place", "diversity carpet" and £280m cost it is perhaps apt that it has been heralded as the building that "houses the heart of Europe".
