Border checkpoints will return. Currencies will be resurrected, then  devalued.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These writers are among the many who are writing about the demise of the  European Union as if it were a foregone conclusion.  As author Bret Stephens,  points out:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAmerica will survive this because America is a state. But as Bismarck once  remarked, \u2018Whoever speaks of Europe is wrong. Europe is a geographical  expression.\u2019 The \u2018fiscal union\u2019 that\u2019s being mooted will never come to pass:  German voters won\u2019t stand for it, and neither will any other country that wants  to retain fiscal independence\u2014which is to say, the core attribute of democratic  sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat comes next is the explosion of the European project.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, there is another way to understand the current economic and  political turmoil.  What some interpret as the death throes of a continental  superpower-wannabe\u2014an entity that had overreached in hubris and arrogance\u2014may  not be death throes at all.  They may be <em>birth pangs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As long-time observers of the goings-on in Brussels have often noted,  Europe\u2019s bureaucrats, politicians and influence-peddlers always seem to come to  the same conclusion: the solution to Europe\u2019s problems is always  <strong><em>more Europe!<\/em><\/strong> When unification causes difficulties,  their solution is simple: more unification!<\/p>\n<p>It is not a new phenomenon to see difficult times in Europe give rise to a  powerful leader with the will and the power to unify much of the continent.   Though it may seem tactless to mention, only the foolish fail to consider that  Germany\u2019s crushing economic woes during the Weimar Republic after World War I  were instrumental as a catalyst for the rise of Hitler\u2019s \u201cThird Reich.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rahm Emanuel, former Chief of Staff to President Obama, infamously said of  the unfolding U.S. financial crisis: \u201cYou don\u2019t ever want a crisis to go to  waste; it\u2019s an opportunity to do important things that you would otherwise  avoid\u201d (<a title=\"NYT: Obama, Assembling Team, Turns to the Economy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2008\/11\/07\/us\/politics\/07obama.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>New York Times,<\/em> November 6, 2008<\/a>).  As today\u2019s  European Union heads into the greatest crisis of its life, many across Europe  will see in that crisis the opportunities of a lifetime. The current turmoil  will allow Europe\u2019s power brokers and politicians to craft the next chapters of  their continent\u2019s story to suit their own ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>But students of the Bible have the opportunity to know the end of that story  in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Bible prophecy has <em>much<\/em> to say about the final state of things in  Europe.  In His Word, God paints a picture of Europe\u2019s destiny that does not  depend on the whims of politicians or the latest economic panics. It is a  picture of a continent\u2019s rise to a position of unheard-of power and global  domination. And it is a picture of the demise and devastation of the United  States and the nations of the former British Commonwealth.<\/p>\n<p>So, do not confuse Europe\u2019s birth pangs for death throes.  And do not wait  for the headlines to catch up to the Bible!  As the story of Europe\u2019s race  toward its destiny unfolds, skip to the last chapters ahead of time and read the  end before it happens.

(Revelation 17:12-13)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Steps towards this happening are continuing as we in the <a href=\"\/ylcg.htm\">Living Church of God <\/a>have long taught&#8211;and there will be bumps in the road and problems (major civil unrest, or worse, may occur).<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Bible is clear that the final European Beast power will not actually be highly unified as it will basically be a combination of strong and weak, or as the Bible more literally states, iron and clay:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter&#8217;s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. (Daniel 2:41-43)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Bible prophecy, a European power, despite its fragility, is destined to temporarily be the most dominant force in the world, ultimately conquer the Anglo-descended nations (Daniel 11:39), and later come to its end (Daniel 11:45).<\/p>\n<p>But before it is destroyed (Daniel 11:21-44), the final Beast power must come together and get to the place where it has major economic influence.<\/p>\n<p><em>Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/europa.htm\">Europa, the Beast, and      Revelation<\/a> Where did Europe get its name?
