“It’s Up To Europe” – Paul Craig Roberts On What Can Be Done To Save The World

May 4, 2018

Authored by Paul Craig Roberts,

It is up to Europe whether or not the Earth dies in nuclear Armageddon.

European governments do not realize their potential to save the world from Washington’s aggression, because the western Europeans are accustomed to being Washington’s vassal states since the end of World War 2, and the eastern and central Europeans have accepted Washington’s vassalage since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Vassalage pays well if all the costs are not counted.

By joining NATO, the eastern and central Europeans permitted Washington to move US military presence to Russia’s borders. This military presence on Russia’s borders gave Washington undue confidence that Russia also could be coerced into a vassal state existence. …

There are no benefits to Europe of being in NATO. Europeans are not threatened by Russian aggression, but they are threatened by Washington’s aggression against Russia. If the American neoconservatives and their Israeli allies succeed in provoking a war, all of Europe would be destroyed. Forever.

What is wrong with European politicians that they take this risk with the peoples that they govern?

Europe is still a place of beauty constructed by humans over the ages—architecturally, artistically, and intellectually—and the museum should not be destroyed. Once free of Washington’s vassalage, Europe could even be brought back to creative life.

Europe is already suffering economically from Washington’s illegal sanctions against Russia forced upon Europeans by Washington and from the millions of non-European refugees flooding the European countries fleeing from Washington’s illegal wars against Muslim peoples, wars that Americans are forced to fight for the benefit of Israel.

What do Europeans get for the extreme penalties imposed on them as Washington’s vassals? They get nothing but the threat of Armageddon. …

Europe must take the lead, especially the central Europeans. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-05-03/its-europe-paul-craig-roberts-what-can-be-done-save-world

So, Paul Craig Roberts believes that more European leadership is the key to world peace, elimination of USA domination, the prevention of Armageddon and to save the world.

Well, he is basically correct on that second point (European leadership will be involved in eliminating USA domination), but wrong on the other three.

Let’ s look at biblical prophecies related to each of those four points.

First, the Bible prophesies that a European leader will rise promising peace:

25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (Daniel 8:25, KJV).

23 And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. 24 He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time. (Daniel 11:23-24, NKJV)

So this leader gives people the impression that there will be “peace” and is involved in some type of deal. The term translated as “peace” in Daniel 8:25 is from the Hebrew term shalvah and essentially means security. In other words, this leader will destroy “many” who are under the impression that they are secure because of some type of security and/or trade arrangement. Such arrangements are now commonly referred to as peace deals or treaties.

This is the same leader that confirms the covenant in Daniel 9:27. So, let’s look at that as well:

26 And the people of the prince who is to come
Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.
The end of it shall be with a flood,
And till the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the desolate (Daniel 9:26-27).

The above is referring to a deal or covenant that has a time element attached to it. The ‘one week’ time element has generally been understood by prophecy watchers to mean a seven year deal (2520 days, based on prophetic 360 day years), that will be broken in the middle of it (after 3 1/2 years). The Hebrew word translated as “week” literally means “sevened” (OT:7620 literal, sevened. Biblesoft’s New Exhaustive Strong’s Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003, 2006 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.).

The ‘with many’ referred to in this passage would seem to indicate that ‘many’ nations, as opposed to one or two, are agreeing to something.

So, yes, we will see a European leader involved in “peace,” but that will not last:

3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. (1 Thessalonians 5:3)

The Book of Revelation shows that Europe will reorganize and give an individual a lot of power:

12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.  (Revelation 17:12-13)

These ten kings have no kingdom, but are to obtain one. Thus, this is a type of reorganization in verse 12. Since they give their power to the Beast in verse 13, this is a second reorganization (see also Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations? ). The “beast” is not shown to have much power prior to Revelation 17:12-13.

The Beast referred to in Revelation 17:13 is the King of the North in the Book of Daniel 11, but in Daniel 9:26-27, he has not yet been granted the power he will get in Revelation 17:12-13.

The second point to make is that this leader will be involved in war–which will not turn out well for the USA or its Anglo-Saxon descended allies.

Daniel 9:26 calls this leader a “prince.” This indicate he will not be considered the top European leader when he confirms the deal in Daniel 9:27a. Partially because of that, many will not realize when the countdown of Daniel 9:27a starts. This same leader will gain power as he is later  referred to as the king of a developing European empire, called the King of the North (Daniel 11:40; see also King of the North and Europa, the Beast, and the Book of Revelation). And in Daniel 9:27 b, we see this ‘peace confirming’ leader has become a warring leader.

Furthermore, Daniel 9:26-27 ties directly in with Daniel 11. Notice what it shows about the European King of the North:

31 And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation. (Daniel 11:31)

One way to show that this is a European ‘Babylonian’ (cf. Revelation 17:1-10) empire is to realize that it was the people of the Roman Empire of the 1st century that fulfilled the portion of Daniel 9:26 as they destroyed the city (Jerusalem) in 70 A.D. (watch also Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European?).

As far as the destruction of the USA and its Anglo-Saxon allies goes, notice something else that the European King of the North will do:

39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain (Daniel 11:39).

Who has the strongest fortresses?

In the 21st century, the strongest fortresses in the world belong to the USA and to a much lessor extent, its English-speaking allies (for a more detailed explanation of why the USA and its Anglo-allies are involved, as well as the dividing of their lands, please see Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel).

Europe will destroy the USA!

When this happens, the world will marvel:

3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” (Revelation 13:3-4)

The world will marvel because it did not believe that this was possible, especially by the Europeans. Yet, the world’s supposedly greatest superpower, the one with the strongest fortresses, will be taken over and destroyed. I would call this World War III (WWIII).

So, in a sense, Paul Craig Roberts will get his way in that the USA will stop dominating world affairs. But I doubt he believes that Europe will destroy the USA, etc.

The third point he raised is Armageddon.

Actually, Europe will not be able to prevent that. The rise of Europe will be a factor for the Eurasian powers to rise up against the coming Babylonian Europe as well as to gather in Armageddon:

9 For behold, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon An assembly of great nations from the north country, And they shall array themselves against her; From there she shall be captured. Their arrows shall be like those of an expert warrior; None shall return in vain. (Jeremiah 50:9)

50:41 “Behold, a people shall come from the north,
And a great nation and many kings
Shall be raised up from the ends of the earth.
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance;
They are cruel and shall not show mercy.
Their voice shall roar like the sea;
They shall ride on horses,
Set in array, like a man for the battle,
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.

43 “The king of Babylon has heard the report about them,
And his hands grow feeble;
Anguish has taken hold of him,
Pangs as of a woman in childbirth…”(Jeremiah 50:41-43).

12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15 Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.” 16 And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon (Revelation 16:12-16).

We see that a confederation from the north (Russia) and the ends of the earth (essentially a reference to Asian nations) will cause the end time King of Babylon, the European King of the North Beast power, anguish. We also see that the kings from the East (hence more than one country) are those that need to cross the Euphrates. This, combined with Revelation 9, which shows that a two hundred million man army will be assisted by angels at the Euphrates is strong biblical evidence that Asia is at least part of this massive army. They will be involved in what could be called World War Four. China is clearly a nation that biblically is one of the “kings from the east.” Russia, India, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and others are also probably “kings from the East” (Revelation 16:12) as they all are in the farthest eastern reaches of Asia.

China’s Silk Road project looks to pave some of the roads to help get to Armageddon as well as develop some naval ports (watch Is China paving roads to Armageddon?). This project is happening now! Although most will apparently come to Armageddon by land, potentially, if portions of the 200 million man army from the East that the Book of Revelation prophesies (Revelation 9:13-20) head to the Middle East via ship, China’s Silk Road project is involved with ports as well.

So, no, Paul Craig Roberts, Europe’s rise will not prevent Armageddon.

The fourth point to address is that it will take God’s intervention to save the world:

21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. (Matthew 24:21-22)

15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”

16 And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God,

17 saying: “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.

18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.” (Revelation 11:15-18)

Yes, it will take the return of Jesus and the establishment of the Kingdom of God to save the world. Not European leadership.

While the time will come when it looks like the world will turn to Europe for peace and leadership, that will not end well. The USA will be destroyed and Armageddon will come. But there is good news: Jesus will return and establish the Kingdom of God.

Before then, however, people can repent and take other positive steps individually. Is God Calling You?

Christians are not to be like those that walk by sight (cf. 2 Corinthians 5:7). Christians should be able to discern the season (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:3-6) and signs of the end (Luke 21:31-35). That is part of why we explain the prophetic ramifications of various events happening and reported around the world here.
