EU Protests Austerity


Greek Riots, 2008

There have been protests in Europe:

Anti-austerity protests spread across Europe

Euronews – June 20, 2011

Anti-austerity rallies have been held across Europe – in Spain thousands marched to protest against high unemployment and their government’s handling of the economic crisis. http://www.euronews.net/2011/06/20/anti-austerity-protests-spread-across-europe/

Athens protests: Syntagma Square on frontline of European austerity protests

Don’t be surprised if Athens goes up in flames,” the 50-year old says. “And don’t be sad, either.” His words initially sound melodramatic, but the anger keeps coming up. “Politicians now walk around with bodyguards,” says Aris Chatzistefanou, the co-director of Debtocracy, a film about the Greek crisis that has become a sensation. He quotes a newspaper report of how restaurateurs are taking down those cheesy framed photos of dining politicians, of how one government spokesman went to dinner a few weeks ago only for the rest of the restaurant to start shouting “You are eating the blood of the people”. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jun/19/athens-protests-syntagma-austerity-protests

I essentially warned about this last year (see 5 September 2010 post titled Civil War in Greece?) as I wrote, “Austerity measures in Europe will likely cause civil unrest”. As well later in December 2010 when I wrote:

Civil unrest in Europe is expected. Places such as France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Eastern Europe have potential for this occurrence.

Expanded civil unrest will have major impacts on the euro and on Europe itself. It is highly likely to propel a European leader to rise up. The final leader will be the one known as the Beast (Revelation 13:3-4) and final King of the North (Daniel 11:22-44) of Bible prophecy.

Additionally, in my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect, I discussed the possibility of civil unrest and/or civil war breaking out in Europe. Here are a couple of captions from the 2009 book about that:

Some believe that God will punish the nominal Catholics with civil unrest and war in Europe. As there already has been civil unrest in Europe (and according to secular sources, more is expected), it is possible that the following (to some degree) also may come to pass:..

Monk Hilarion (15th century): “The people of the peninsula of Europe will suffer by needless wars…”

Brother Louis Rocco (19th century): “All over Europe there will rage terrible civil wars…A Great Monarch will arise after a period of terrible wars and persecutions in Europe.”

Some believe this civil unrest will result in the rise of a militaristic leader who will quell that particular violence, establish a new religious order, and reign with a pope who will perform miracles…

One interesting 15th century Catholic prophecy foretells a time when a “great prince” will rise up. “All Germany” will apparently convert to the ecumenical religion, and then massive conversions in “all countries” “will happen quickly…

The descriptions of the Great Monarch/Prince in many ways parallel the description of one the Bible refers to as the “prince” in Daniel 9:26–27, final “King of the North” in Daniel 11:27–45…

World events are aligning with prophecy.  The protests may turn quite violent and this may be a major trigger for the rise of the prophesied final King of the North.

The IMF is advocating greater EU unity to solve the economic problems there, while the UK is expecting that the Euro may collapse:

IMF tells EU: Stop ‘unproductive debate’ and integrate ‘now’

EUobserver – June 20, 2011
The International Monetary Fund has bluntly warned the European Union it must put an end to its “unproductive debate” over debt restructuring and, in an unprecedented outside intervention in the construction of the European Union, told the bloc it must integrate faster and more deeply in order to stop a global disaster.  http://euobserver.com/9/32518

UK treasury pondering death of the euro

EUobserver – June 21, 2011
The UK’s treasury minister has – during a cut-and-thrust debate in parliament – admitted that London is preparing for a potential break-up of the eurozone…On Greece itself, Conservative and Labour MPs were united in their belief that the new bail-out under discussion in Brussels will fail. http://euobserver.com/9/32522

There will be ups and downs in Europe until the final European beast power rises up. As we in the Living Church of God have long taught, the UK as it now exists will not be part of the rising European beast power–it will be taken over by it.  The recent steps that the UK has taken are sending a signal to the Europeans that the UK is not ever really going to be an equal part of Europe.

The Bible is clear that although there will be problems with the unnatural combination that we now call Europe (Daniel 2), that it still will rise up.  And it is likely that because of protests and other forms of civil unrest, that the Europeans will be more willing to accept the type of militaristic leader that the Bible teaches will lead the final beast empire (Revelation 13:1-4).  Watch.
