The dream
goes on to portray yet another empire symbolized by the 10 toes
which are partly iron and partly clay. Iron connotes toughness
and ruthlessness and while iron and clay may co-exist they
cannot combine into a strong and durable world power. The
implication being that this final phase would be marked by a
kind of federation such as the Western European Union
rather than by a single powerful realm.
Daniel 2:41,
"And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters'
clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided;
but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch
as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay."
Daniel
2:43, "And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they
shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall
not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with
clay."
The
European Union
Treaty of Rome, 25 March, 1957
Participants:
His Majesty The King of the Belgians, the President of the
Federal Republic of Germany, the President of the French
Republic, the President of the Italian Republic, Her Royal
Highness The Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, Her Majesty The Queen
of the Netherlands.....The European Union, now has 25 member
states and 450 million people and encompasses virtually all of
the modern-day countries within the ancient Roman Empire. If it
were a country it would be the world's third largest in
population, after China and India. In 1992: The European
Community and the seven-nation European Free Trade Association
struck a final deal, clearing the way for the creation of the
world's biggest single free market, exceeding that of the
combined markets of the United States and Canada.
This last world empire will be
a multi-lingual confederacy. No other regional bloc has more
diverse languages and cultures than that of Europe. Even the
European Parliament building was designed to look like a
modern day tower of Babel, (shown below) where God
previously confounded the languages of all men back in Genesis
11:9.
Surveys show a
sharp decline in Church attendance in most European countries
to 20% of the population since 1970. Some see the emergence of
a post-Christian era in Europe in which the ruling class and
cultural leaders are anti- religious or "Christophobic". A
fierce controversy over any mention of Europe's Christian
heritage prompted French former President d'Estang who presided
over the drafting of the constitution to say "Europeans live in
a purely secular political system , where religion does not
play an important role" The goal of many American liberals
according to Patrick Buchanan is a de-Christianized America.

The
Antichrist's empire
The European
Union is important, prophetically, because it has been
preparing people in that part of the world philosophically and
politically and economically for their participation as members
of the new world empire which the Antichrist will forge into
existence within the near future. Thus, the EU is moving
towards a form of unification so that they will be ready to
swear collective allegiance to the Antichrist.
The
10 nations which form the WEU or Western European Union,
2500 years ago
in the land of Babylon Daniel wrote about future events
involving the whole world and all mankind. The angel Gabriel
revealed to Daniel how his nation, Israel, and his holy city
Jerusalem would play the central role in God's plan for all
mankind. They serve as God's prophetic clock for mankind and
the world allowing us to see God's plan unfold before our eyes
even unto the 10 nations which form the WEU or Western European
Union, They are the
first ten of the member states and the most powerful ones as
well. The WEU is a ten-nation core of powerful European
states in charge of maintaining Europe's military
security. It controls NATO, the world's most powerful
military alliance and it insists on retaining a separate
identity to keep its voice from being diluted by that of the
greater EU.

Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner, UK Foreign Secretary Jack
Straw, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, UN Secretary
General Kofi Annan, Secretary Rice, and EU High Representative
and Head of the 10 Nation Western European Union, Javier
Solana. United Nations Headquarters; New York City; Sep. 20,
2005
Javier Solana
is currently paving the way to make his rise to the top of the
diplomatic world through the confirmation of a seven-year
covenant of peace in the Middle East by successfully advocating
the Palestinians and Israelis to allow the EU to play a larger
role in Middle East peacemaking while he acts as a member of
the international Quartet of Russia, the United States, the
United Nations, and the European Union.
Western
European Union Battle Groups ready in 2007
The 10 Nations of the
WEU:Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxemburg The
Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, United
Kingdom
The Battle
Groups concept is a strategic part of the 2010 Headline Goal,
being spear-headed by Javier Solana, as the head of the
European Defence Agency, and Secretary General of the 10 nation
Western European Union
The Western
European Union hopes to have initial operability of the Battle
Groups concept up and running with the first Battle Group
formation ready for deployment by 2007 - according to a
EurActiv report. Reminiscent of the old Roman legions, each
Battle Group will be formed by around 1500 troops, from one or
more EU nations. The Battle Groups should be able to launch
within 5 days of a decision by the European Council, and be on
the ground no later than 10 days. Although the Battle Groups
will be formed by mainly European nations, NATO states that are
in the process of an accession treaty with the European Union
may also form part of a Battle Group. ... "The first Battle
Group project was launched by the UK, France and Germany in
February 2004, and within the space of two months EU defence
ministers approved it, and turned it into a European concept,
which was formally launched by the 22 November 2004 Military
Capabilities Commitment Conference. According to this
Conference's Declaration on European Military Capabilities:
Battlegroups will be employable across the full range of tasks
listed in the TEU Art. 17.2, and those identified in the
European Security Strategy, in particular in tasks of combat
forces in crisis management,
By the year
2010, the aim is to have around 13 Battle Groups that can
respond to a "crisis" any where in the world within 5-10 days.
The timing of the formation of this "European Army" is
significant, for if this European Policy turns out to be the
"covenant with many", as spoken of in Daniel chapter 9, the
Battle Groups will be ready for deployment into the Middle East
around the mid-point of the tribulation
period..... In the
light of Biblical prophecy that the final world government
would begin with "ten kings," this is a most interesting fact.
....Source:Jack Kinsella - Omega Letter.... "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."...Rev
13:
13 These have one mind, and shall
give their power and strength unto the beast.14 These shall make
war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is
Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are
called, and chosen, and faithful.
The
Woman sitting upon the Beast in Revelation
On the back of the Greek Euro,
shown below, we have exactly the same image as the Apostle John
describes. A woman, arrayed in purple and scarlet, sitting on a
beast, with a cup in her hand. This of course reveals the identity
of both major end time players in the Book of Revelation. The
woman is the Great Whore or Spiritual Babylon and the Beast is the
European Union.
Greek Euro
The picture on the EU symbol is
that of the Goddess Europa, who according to Greek mythology, rode
on the back of a bull.( actually Zeus in disguise ).... But what
has this got to do with Bible prophecy? .... This
is how the Apostle John describes the identity of the Beast, the
last world empire and Spiritual Babylon in .Revelation
17:3-6
"So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I
saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of
blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was
arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and
precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full
of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her
forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE
MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the
woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of
the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great
admiration."
The Seven Hills of Rome
[9] And here is the mind
which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on
which the woman sitteth.
[12] And the ten horns
which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no
kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the
beast.
Papal coin, Leo XII with the
legend around the woman, "Sedet super universum," "The whole world
is her seat." The False Prophet is shown on the
left.The image is full of
Babylonian symbolism. .
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth
over the kings of the earth..
Rev. 17:18
.
Rome has literally ruled over
kings for centuries ( William the Conqueror, the Spanish
inquisition, the Huguenots, etc), and still desires today to
maintain her Holy Roman Empire.. The
woman also represents Semiramis, wife of Nimrod, the first
Babylonian Queen. The rays emanating from her head represent
Nimrod, whom the ancient Babylonians believed died, and was
transformed into the Sun. Babylonians believed Semiramis was
conceived by the Sun, and gave birth to Tamuz, a reincarnation of
Nimrod.
The Holy Spirit adds further that
it is also a picture of how the woman has martyred the true saints
of God, so much so that she is now become drunk on their blood.
One of the bloodiest times in the Roman Empire was during the time
the book of Revelation was written, when millions of Christians
were killed for entertainment, and sent into the catacombs of Rome
with conditions so dank, life expectancy was only around six
months...
Jesus
Christ returns and sets up God's Eternal Kingdom
It that shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms,"
Daniel 2:44,
The final
scene of Daniel's statue being reduced to dust by the Rock which
then becomes a mountain and fills the earth is God's established
Kingdom which is destined to endure forever. "And in the days of
these kings shall the God of Heaven set up a Kingdom, which shall
never be destroyed: and the Kingdom shall not be left to other
people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these
kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever." Daniel 2:44,
Daniel
2:45, "Forasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the
mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the
brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made
known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream
is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure." The symbol of
the stone is often used to represent the Lord Jesus Christ. and
the Kingdom He sets up will be an eternal Kingdom that will never
end!
Acts 4:11, "This
is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is
become the head of the corner." ... Ephesians 2:20, "And are built
upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ
himself being the chief corner stone;" ... 1 Corinthians 10,
"...And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of
that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
" ... When Jesus Christ returns, all eyes will see the fulfillment
of this prophetic dream right before their very eyes. ALL nations
on earth will crumble to dust at the coming of the Lord Jesus
Christ. For it is plainly written ... Daniel 2:45, " the dream is
certain, and the interpretation thereof sure."

this reality.
