Part 1
Most of us who have been making a study of Bible prophecies over a number of years, know that ultimately the EU is going to achieve a full monetary and political union that is going to produce the Antichrist. Now, European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso has told the Chinese public that the EU will become a fully-fledged “political union” after the current financial crisis has been completely resolved. He then went on to state that because of the current financial restraints within the EU the resolution to those problems was going to further integrate and complete the monetary union with a fiscal union and then as a result of those moves, a complete political union. That main objective is only a matter of time, but in spite of the EU, being the most diverse continent on the earth a political union will, and must be, achieved. EU Council President Herman Van Rompuy highlighted a clause in the joint summit communique which says the EU is willing to “swiftly” give China market economy status—a move that would help it sell more cheap goods to Europe. “It’s the first time we put this kind of agreement with this kind of language after an EU-China summit,” he said. -Euobserver.com, 14 February 2012: Europe is China’s largest customer. The EU represents the world’s biggest exporter and importer. According to Bible prophecy, Europe will continue to be the centre of the world. It is defined Biblically with these words, “Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces” (Daniel 7:23).
Part 2
I have noticed the use of the word "diverse." What does this diverseness consist of? Historically, a kingdom or any government operated independently for the well-being of its citizens; usually one ruler, one tax code, one language, with one goal for only its own people: peace, prosperity, and security. The European Union is different with that difference expressed within the general confines of their motto “United in Diversity.” The success of the EU is overwhelming, when one considers the fact that only 70 years ago; World War II devastated the continent. While economically as well as financially, the EU has been extremely successful, one thing is lacking a “political union.” However, it is only a matter of time before that complete Union is achieved and the EU becomes a complete government with one leader, who holds the ultimate reins of power, the Antichrist. Notwithstanding that fact, there are those who have been attempting to identify the Antichrist for a number of years, but most have failed in this quest. That is not to say that the quest for this knowledge does remain somewhat opaque, as it surely does? Just as soon as an individual thinks they have it all together in identifying the Antichrist there is someone else who comes onto the world scene who shatters those plans all together. However, there is really no one who is on the horizon that gives us a better example of someone the Antichrist maybe other than its first ever-elected full time president, Herman Van Rompuy. A virtual unknown before he came to prominence on the world scene after being appointed as the first ever full time president of the European Union Council of Ministers, a role that virtually holds power other than being able to address council meetings and EU summits. Van Rompuy is one to keep an eye on because as his current tenure as the president of the EU Council of Ministers has just been extended there is a very strong possibility he may line up as the president of the EU by being given more and more powers thereby equipping him to be the Antichrist. Needless to say, if the name of Van Rompuy were mentioned to the average person in the UK most would never ever have heard of him, let alone consider him the Antichrist. This seems to be just another one of the many and crafty plans of his master, Satan, start of slow and then work up to full momentum. God bless
