More and more are calling for a European army now that the UK voted to leave the UK:

Warning: Italian General Calls for European Army After Brexit

27 August 2016

According to one retired Italian general, the years of Great Britain “sabotaging” any attempt to form a united European army are over after the decision to leave the European Union in June.  …

Gen. Vincenzo Camporini, former head of the Italian general staff ,was one of four European military officials who formed a working group in 1999 to map out a European army, a plan known as the Helsinki Headline Goal.

He explained to Defense News about the years of frustration trying to bring British leaders on board with the idea.

“The UK always opposed funding increases, and three quarters of the agency’s budget is absorbed by salaries, leaving it as a body whose scope is survival,” he said. “It was clear that after its early enthusiasm, UK sentiment for EU defense cooled.”

But now, Camporini is ready to take the next step and is looking for potential members.

“The British attitude was an excuse for other — some people hid behind the UK. Now the excuse is no longer there; who is ready to go forward? I believe the Germans are willing, although I have doubts about France because of its nuclear deterrent. Will that be shared? It is a very delicate political issue.” http://townhall.com/tipsheet/justinholcomb/2016/08/27/warning-italian-general-calls-for-european-army-after-brexit-n2210792

The drive to create a joint European army appears to be gaining momentum with the Czech Republic and Hungary both speaking out in favor of deeper defense ties on the continent, in moves which are likely to rile NATO.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has championed the move to create a joint defense force on a number of occasions, says that a joint European army was needed to ensure security.

“We should list the issue of security as a priority, and we should start setting up a common European army,” he said on Friday, during a meeting between Hungarian, Czech, Polish, Slovak leaders and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Warsaw, as cited by Retuers.

In July, Orban, who is a staunch critic of the EU’s migration policies, said that the union must look to create its own military following the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the bloc.

“We need a real army, in which there’ll be understanding; in which the orders are given to the same language,” the Hungarian PM said.

His Czech counterpart Bohuslav Sobotka is also in favor of deeper European defense cooperation. He says it is a priority due to the need to secure Europe’s borders and respond to growing security threats from places such as the Middle East, adding: “we should also begin a discussion about creating a common European army,” according to AFP.

“Certainly the Czech Republic can imagine stronger cooperation in the military area, integration of units, common exercises, and above all securing the capacity to organize operations to support common European foreign policy,” he said.

At the same time, Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo has called for a European border guard to be set up to protect the union’s external frontier.

Chancellor Merkel has supported the idea of increasing security across the bloc, however she has urged caution about how this should be carried out.

“Security is a fundamental issue… we can do more together in the areas of security and defense,” she said, as cited by AFP. https://www.rt.com/news/357326-army-eu-creation-security/

This is a very interesting development.

Why?

The Bible teaches that a coming European King of the North (the “He” below) will end up with a great army:

25 He shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South with a great army. (Daniel 11:25)

So, it is prophetically interesting now that we see more and more leaders in Europe calling for a European army.

While some do not think that Europe is organized in a manner to have a great army, the Bible also teaches that Europe will reorganize:

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)

Notice the following about Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania:

24 August 2016

The Baltic German nobility was in charge of Estonia for over 700 years, and German was the official language until Estonia’s independence in 1918. …

Staunchly pro-EU, budget-disciplined, and oriented toward business, Estonia has become a loyal political and economic ally to Merkel’s government.

And the European Union is high on the agenda during Merkel’s visit. “The main topic of our meeting is the future of the EU,” Estonian Prime Minister Taavi Roivas told DW. “There are some fundamental issues to be clarified: where Europe is going, which values we want to hold on to and protect, and the choices to be made for the sake of a strong and functioning union.”

Estonian officials are looking for German military support.  …

Germany will send up to 1,000 soldiers to Lithuania, and a Bundeswehr unit arrived in Estonia last month, where it is participating in exercises and will remain through the end of September. German special forces participated in a recent training exercise against terrorism in Estonia.

Germany’s air force has repeatedly taken responsibility for patrolling the skies over Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania as part of the NATO mission – the Baltic states do not have their own airborne defense capabilities. German jets will return to Estonia’s Amari Air Base again this September. http://www.dw.com/en/in-estonia-merkel-and-roivas-talk-russia-and-internet/a-19499732

A week before the UK vote on leaving the EU, Lech Walesa, one of Poland’s most famous leaders (and former president) called for German leadership of Europe if there was a Brexit (see German Defense Minister states that Germany is now ready to lead Europe militarily). More and more in Europe are looking towards Germany for their economic and military security.

A European military is in the process of forming.

The Bible shows that a German-dominated power will arise (Isaiah 10:5-11) and the world will marvel at its military ability (Revelation 13:3-4). It will defeat the USA (Daniel 11:39), but later face problems from Russia and its allies (Daniel 11:44-45).

We are seeing more and more call for an army consistent with end-time biblical prophecies.

Forbes’ Brexit Monster is the Beast of Revelation
Various ones have been properly convinced that there is a plan for a European superstate. Forbes’ writer Tom Worstall wrote that the Brexit vote was about the United Kingdom “not joining the monster of the European Union to come.” The Bible tells of a Beast monster that will arise in the end times in Europe. Dr. Thiel cites news reports, as well as the Old and New Testaments, to show that the monster many fear will arise in Europe, despite the vote by the British to exit the European Union.
