But perhaps the main one to mention here is that it was the people of the Roman Empire   of the 1st century that fulfilled the portion of Daniel 9:26 as they   destroyed the city (Jerusalem) in 70 A.D. And it is the &#8220;prince&#8221; coming   from that people that verse 27 is referring to.\u00a0\u00a0 The European Union includes much of the land and peoples that were part of the ancient Roman Empire.\u00a0 Hence, this prophecy   tells us that a leader from the area of the old empire, will be a lower level leader (prince) who will somehow confirm a deal about 3 1\/2 years before   the great tribulation.<\/p>\n<p>Why is this believed to be a peace deal? There are several reasons, but notice some other scriptures that discuss this leader:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and <strong>he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many<\/strong>: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.    (Daniel 8:25, KJV).<\/p>\n<p>23 <strong>And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully<\/strong>, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people.     24 <strong>He shall enter peaceably<\/strong>, even into the richest  places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done,  nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil,  and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but  only for a time. (Daniel 11:23-24,      NKJV)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So this leader gives people the impression that there  will be &#8220;peace&#8221; and is involved in some type of deal. Term is   translated as &#8220;peace&#8221; in Daniel 8:25 is from the Hebrew term <em>shalvah<\/em> and essentially means security. In other words, this  leader will destroy &#8220;many&#8221; who are under the impression that they are  secure because of some type of security arrangement. Such arrangements  are now commonly referred to as peace deals.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, since China is a major power, its public endorsement of the Palestinian statehood bid will increase pressure on the Israelis to make some type of a deal in the region at some point.\u00a0 Interestingly, as it now stands, a survey found that 81% of Israelis already want their nation to join the European Union (see <a title=\"Permanent Link to 81% of Israelis Want to Join the EU\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"\/news\/prophecy\/81-of-israelis-want-to-join-the-eu\/\">81% of Israelis Want to Join the EU<\/a>).\u00a0 Accepting some type of peace deal may be part of the price for serious consideration.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, pressure from China and others in the UN may be a factor in getting the Israelis to accept a European confirmed peace deal as Israel may decide that it does not have enough other friends to continue as it has.<\/p>\n<p>Watch (Mark 13, Matthew 24).<\/p>\n<p><em>Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/britishisrael.htm\">Anglo \u2013 America in     Prophecy &amp; the  Lost Tribes of Israel<\/a> Are the Americans,   Canadians, British, Scottish, Welsh, Australians,         Anglo-Southern     Africans, and New Zealanders descendants of      Joseph?
