We in the Living Church of God have long taught that it was likely that there would be some type of economic crisis in Europe that would help unify it in order for it to take on its biblically-prophesied role as the final Beast power.

The following two news accounts suggest that this may happen soon:

Europe in deepest recession since War as Germany suffers

German economic policy is “bankrupt”, economists have said.

The declaration was made as it emerged that Europe’s biggest economy has now suffered a worse “lost decade” than Japan and is deeper in recession than any other major economy.

On a day of dismal news for the European economy, official figures also showed that Italy, Austria, Spain and the Netherlands are facing their biggest combined slump in post-war history, sparking warnings about the potential for social unrest throughout Europe.

Within hours, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned that the global recession is far from over and that people must prepare themselves for more financial shocks. Dominique Strauss-Kahn said the world remains in the grips of a “Great Recession” and played down talk of “green shoots”.

Germany’s economy shrank by 3.8pc in the first three months of the year – a record contraction that is almost double the fall of Britain’s gross domestic product in the first quarter. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/5331129/Europe-in-deepest-recession-since-War-as-Germany-suffers.html

Thousands march in Brussels to defend jobs

More than 40,000 people have marched in Brussels calling for better job protection in Europe in the face of an unprecedented recession and mass lay-offs.
While police said 40,000 people participated in rallies in the Belgian capital, organizers put the number at 50,000.
The rally was the second of four European demonstrations which follows Thursday’s protests in Madrid where 20,000 people took part. Two more protests are due in Berlin and Prague on Saturday…

The European Commission warned earlier this month that mass unemployment could return to haunt Europe, with the jobless rate expected to jump to a post-war high of 11.5 percent in the euro-zone next year. http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=94923&sectionid=351020605
