EU Flag COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n While the following is not news to me, it was in Vatican News<\/em> today:<\/p>\n Symbolism of EU flag is Marian \u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n 22 October 2012<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The symbol of Europe was conceived by a Catholic and tomorrow, for the first time, the statue of Our Lady of Fatima will be carried past the EU Parliament building…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Lorenzo Fontana and Mario Borghesio said the arrival of the statue of Our Lady of Fatima in Strasbourg is \u201ca unique event.\u201d \u201cFew people know that the symbol of unified Europe has exquisitely Marian origins, as the European Union\u2019s official flag proves with its twelve stars and the Virgin Mary\u2019s blue and white colours.\u201d…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n A competition was held in order to choose the flag and French Catholic designer Ars\u00e8ne Heitz won. The meaning of the flag\u2019s symbolism can be found in an image of Marian devotion…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Heitz was inspired by the \u201cMiraculous Medal\u201d he wore around his neck: a medal named after apparition of the Virgin Mary to St Catherine Laboure in 1830. It was the Virgin Mary who told the nun to have twelve stars struck on the medal, in representation of the the stars on the crown worn by the woman in the Book of Revelation. Saint Bernadette Soubirous also had a necklace made of tin and string around her neck when the Virgin Mary appeared to her on 11 February 1858, dressed in white and blue.<\/p>\n Ars\u00e8ne Heitz did not reveal the symbol\u2019s biblical origin (he only did so later on), but claimed the number twelve was meant to symbolise ancient wisdom, a \u201csymbol of completeness\u201d. This interpretation stuck and the number was confirmed in the constitutional treaty. So the European flag has a powerful Christian and Marian significance. Tomorrow Mary will \u201ctake back\u201d the EU.\u00a0 http:\/\/vaticaninsider.lastampa.it\/en\/inquiries-and-interviews\/detail\/articolo\/europa-europe-19118\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n (It may be of interest to note that the statue claimed to be the Lady of Fatima going to the EU does not look anything like how the three children who saw the apparition described it. For details, including pictures of the Fatima statue and what was really seen, please check out the book Fatima Shock!<\/em> What the Vatican Does Not Want You to Know About Fatima, Dogmas of Mary, and Future Apparitions.<\/a> In addition to the print version, there is a Kindle version of Fatima Shock!<\/a> which you can acquire in seconds.)<\/p>\n There will be something resembling a United States of Europe and Europe already has Marian connections.\u00a0 Biblical as well as Catholic prophecy suggest that signs and enchantments from one called a “virgin” and “Lady” will happen at the time of the end (cf. Isaiah 47).<\/p>\n As far as the comment in the Vatican News<\/em> that Mary will \u201ctake back\u201d the EU<\/em>, notice the following:<\/p>\n R. Gerald Culleton <\/em>(20th century): During the reign of the Great Monarch and the Angelic Pastor the Catholic Church will spread throughout the world, conversions will be innumerable\u2026The Blessed Virgin will be the chief one in gaining victory over all heresy\u2026<\/p>\n Blessed Hieronymus Agathaghelos <\/em>(1279): The Angel, Mary and John, along with the great and first among martyrs…will intercede.<\/p>\n Anna-Katrina Emmerick (July 12, 1820)<\/em>: When the Mass had ended, Mary came up to Henry (the Emperor), and she extended her right hand towards him, saying that it was in recognition of his purity. Then, she urged him not to falter…<\/p>\n Catholic writer Yves Dupont <\/em>(20th century): Henry is the Great Monarch…The Blessed Virgin urges him not to falter.<\/p>\n Saint Louis de Montfort <\/em>(18th century): These great souls\u2026shall be singularly devouted to our Blessed Lady, illuminated by her nourishment, led by her spirit, supported by her arm, and sheltered under her protection, so that they shall fight in one hand and build with the other.\u00a0 With the one hand they shall fight, overthrow and crush the heretics with their heresies, the schismatics with their schisms\u2026<\/p>\n The Ecstatic of Tours<\/em>: \u2026the French people will\u2026 implore the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary Immaculate…The French people will ask for the good King\u2026this King\u2026will ascend to the throne;\u00a0 he will free the church and reassert the Pope\u2019s rights…<\/p>\n Sister Marie Lataste <\/em>(died 1847): Peace shall return to the world because of Blessed Virgin Mary will breathe over the storms and quell them.<\/p>\n Pope Pius IX <\/em>(died 1878): <\/em>We expect that the Immaculate Virgin\u2026will gain in influence from day to day among all nations and in all places, prosper and rule from ocean to ocean\u2026to the ends of the earth\u2026there will be one fold and one shepherd.

God wills it…I cannot reveal my power to the world as yet… Then I will be able to reveal myself<\/strong>…Pray and sacrifice through me!…I will impose crosses on my children <\/strong>that will be as heavy and as deep as the sea.<\/p>\n Notice that this apparition is claiming that in a future time, she will become known to the world (and that she wants sacrifices through herself, apparently for her glory).\u00a0 (Thiel B.\u00a0Fatima Shock!<\/em> What the Vatican Does Not Want You to Know About Fatima, Dogmas of Mary, and Future Apparitions, 2nd edition.<\/a>\u00a0 2012, pp. 208-209)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Presuming that apparitions claiming to be Mary will become publicly seen (as opposed to by a few individuals), this is will likely deceive many (cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12; Matthew 24:24), and may lead to stronger temporary unity in Europe.<\/p>\n Despite complaints, problems, and disunity in Europe, Europe will fulfill its biblically-prophesied role (cf. Daniel 2:41-43) and with the involvement of a claimed “virgin” (Isaiah 47) that really is a harlot (Revelation 17 & 18) is expected.\u00a0 And that will not bode well for the UK, USA, or their Anglo-allies (Daniel 11:39), nor ultimately the Europeans.<\/p>\n Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n Europa, the Beast, and Revelation<\/a> Where did Europe get its name?
