NATO at the Crossroads. Plain Truth, May 1969)<\/p>\n<p><strong>The attempt to unify Europe as one economic, military and political power bloc restoring the \u201cHoly Roman Empire,\u201d has been the one aim of all the \u201cgreat\u201d men who dominated European history<\/strong> from Napoleon\u2019s \u201cWaterloo\u201d until now. Mussolini, dominating Eritrea, Italian Somaliland, Libya, and conquering Ethiopia, did officially name his weak \u201cEmpire\u201d the \u201cRoman Empire.\u201d But now the dream of a mighty, powerful, resurrected Roman Empire at last is becoming a hard-driving reality.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 nations of United Europe have succeeded in their aim far beyond the wildest dreams of the original signers of the Treaty of Rome. In far less time, at a far greater pace than anticipated, these nations of Europe have risen from the economic chaos of World War II to the dizzying heights of a standard of living never known to them before! With the present success well beyond the proportions of that expected three years ago, with a future success \u2014 in a world of peace \u2014 sure to produce a near \u2014 utopia, Western Europe is more concerned about war than any other economic and political entity on the face of this earth! \u201cThis is very probably the last year in which anyone except Europe will be able to negotiate with the Soviet Union for Europe!\u201d (London Sunday Times). These nations are ENJOYING their economic recovery and they will let nothing stand in its way \u2014 they will stop at nothing to keep \u2018What they have, and, GO ON TO MORE! SO it is that a blueprint has been drawn up by the Six, that demands meetings among themselves to decide the MILITARY AND FOREIGN POLICY questions that come up regarding Europe! \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFascism in Europe is about to be reborn in respectable business attire, and the Treaty of Rome will finally be implemented to its fullest extent.. <strong>the dream of a Holy Roman, Empire returning to power to dominate and direct the so-called forces of Christian mankind of the Western world is not dead, but still stalks through the antechambers of every national capital of continental Western Europe<\/strong>\u2026 IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE LEADERS IN THE COMMON MARKET NATIONS TO RESTORE THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE WITH ALL THAT THAT MEANS!\u201d (Northwest Technocrat, Vol. XXV, No. 205.) United within the ancient boundaries of the Holy Roman Empire; united by the common spiritual bond of universal Catholicism; united in a burgeoning and booming industrial economy that dominates today\u2019s world; united geographically in the most productive and industrial complex of all the earth \u2014 at least TEN NATIONS OF MODERN EUROPE WILL MARCH ONTO THE SCENE OF WORLD HISTORY AS THE GREATEST SINGLE HUMAN FORCE EVER SEEN BY MAN! (Hill DJ. What is Germany\u2019s Destiny? Plain Truth, March 1962)<\/p>\n<p>The prophecy of Daniel 11 details events \u2014 at that time, still future \u2014 from the remaining days of the Medo-Persian empire, through the reign of Alexander the Great and his successors in Syria and Egypt, and on through to the second coming of Christ! Beginning in verse 40 we read of a conflict between two great powers: \u201cAnd at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is an important \u201cend-time\u201d prophecy. Following the chronological progression of the chapter, it becomes apparent that the phrase \u201cking of the north\u201d had at first referred to Syria under the Seleucid dynasty, and later, in the New Testament times, to the Emperor of the Roman Empire. \u2026 Thus,<strong> in its final end-time application, the \u201cking of the north\u201d is the prophesied strong man who will lead a coming<\/strong> union of ten European nations \u2014 the seventh and <strong>final revival of the ancient Roman Empire<\/strong> prophesied by Daniel and in the book of Revelation (see Revelation 17:12-13).<\/p>\n<p>But who is the \u201cking of the south\u201d? In the earlier portions of Daniel 11, the phrase refers without question to ancient Egypt under the rule of the Ptolemaic dynasty, later including Ethiopia which was annexed to Egypt. But in verse 40 we skip to \u201cthe time of the end\u201d \u2026 Its greater fulfillment is yet future! Just as there is yet to be a final \u201cking of the north\u201d \u2014 called in Bible symbolism \u201cthe beast\u201d \u2014 who will arise as superdictator over an end-time European confederation, there may very well emerge in the same manner a final \u201cking of the south\u201d \u2014 an overall leader of an Arab-Moslem confederation, possibly even bearing the very title Mahdi! And these two individuals will eventually find themselves in a head-to-head confrontation \u2014 possibly over oil \u2014 which will ultimately lead to devastating war in the Middle East!<\/p>\n<p>King David of ancient Israel, in a prophetic psalm (Psalm 83) provides additional insight into the coming Mideast picture. Germany (Assyria in Bible prophecy) and perhaps the rest of Europe will be in league in the future with a union of Arab nations \u2014 a vast confederacy bound together in an effort to crush out the name \u201cIsrael\u201d from the face of the earth! This Arab-Moslem confederacy may very well be the previously mentioned \u201cking of the south\u201d of Daniel 11 \u2014 a sphere of power encompassing vast portions of the Islamic world. \u2026<\/p>\n<p>But in the end, this European-Arab alliance will prove short-lived. As shown earlier, the \u201cking of the north\u201d of Daniel 11 \u2014 the leader of the German-led European union \u2014 will ultimately turn against the Arab \u201cking of the south,\u201d with disastrous consequences for the entire Middle East \u2014 both Jew and Arab alike. The entire region will be subjected to armed invasion! \u2026<\/p>\n<p>The Arab-Moslem Confederation will, of course, be thrown into chaotic disarray in the face of invasion. Some of its component countries will be directly occupied by European troops. However, as revealed in Daniel 11:41, Jordan (the present-day descendants of Moab and Ammon) and Turkey (Edom) will escape occupation. Other Arab countries may also avoid full occupation, possibly remaining in some sort of limited alliance with United Europe. \u201cLibya\u201d (or Put, the North African Arabs) along with \u201d Ethiopia\u201d (or Cush, certain black African nations) shall be \u201cat his [the king of the north\u2019s] steps\u201d \u2014 or \u201cfollowing him\u201d as some translations render it.
