COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n LCG<\/a> reported the following\u00a0 several hours prior to the announcement of the appointment of the EU’s new president yesterday:<\/p>\n Welcome to the \u201cFully Functional\u201d European Union.<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/em>By the time this News and Prophecy<\/em> item is published, the EU may have its very own President and Foreign Minister. The EU now maintains the world\u2019s largest economy, rivaled only by the combined economies of the U.S. and China. The EU will soon surpass the half-billion mark in population. The EU\u2019s military force abroad (71,000 troops) is second only to the U.S. and the EU\u2019s troop levels will increase as the Lisbon Treaty is fully implemented. EU nations are also emerging from the global economic crisis at a more rapid rate than other nations. A sobering quote from The Sunday Times<\/em> of London reads, \u201c<\/span>Britain<\/span> may not like it, but under the Lisbon treaty the likely emergence of an EU military force will help to expand Europe\u2019s global \u2018footprint\u2019. It gives a prophetic ring to a book written four years ago by Mark Leonard, director of the European Council on Foreign Relations: Why Europe Will Run the 21st Century<\/em>\u201d (November 15, 2009). For decades, we have predicted the rise of a powerful European super-state, based on Bible prophecy. The last two weeks have seen the reality of these predictions come to pass. The EU is now poised to play an even bigger role on the world stage. It is methodically growing and moving forward\u2014just as God prophesied millennia ago. From the current configuration of 27 EU members, we now must look forward to a future organization of ten kingdoms or groupings in Europe that will make up the final Beast power spoken of in Daniel and Revelation. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The European Union is forming and will be some type of foundation for the fulfillment of a militarized “Beast power” that is warned about in Revelation 13.\u00a0 The final rise of a Babylonian system is warned about in Chapters 17 and 18 as well.\u00a0 The appointment of new leaders for Europe is an important development.<\/p>\n Yet, in American news, items such as Oprah Winfrey’s announcement that she will tape her last episode of her long-running show in September 2011 seemed to be a much bigger story.\u00a0 How many Americans heard that Herman Van Rompuy was appointed EU President and Catherine Ashton as Foreign Minister?\u00a0 It would seem that many more learned about Oprah.<\/p>\n But irrespective of mainstream media attention, the reality is that the Europeans will rise up.\u00a0 And even though there are likely to be a few setbacks in Europe (and probably at least one or two serious ones), Bible prophecy will be fulfilled and the foundational requirements are appearing (though not emphasized by many) right before our very eyes.<\/p>\n Some links of related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect<\/a> This is a link related to a book by Bob Thiel (COGwriter). This also has YouTube videos related to 2012. The book is for those truly interested in understanding how prophecies inter-relate and who want to see a real sequence of end time events.<\/span><\/span> It goes into details concerning prophecies that involve the rising up of a European power, including the King of the North\/the Beast and the Antichrist that line up with biblical prophecies.\u00a0 It analyzes others that involve the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and Asia.
