Coalitions of the willing are Europe\u2019s path to ever closer union<\/span><\/h2>\n

16 November 2025<\/p>\n

If the US\u2019s motto \u2014 \u201cout of many, one\u201d \u2014 sounds hopelessly aspirational in Trump\u2019s divided America, the EU\u2019s could be seen as an oxymoron. \u201cUnited in diversity\u201d clashes against the received wisdom that diversity is what prevents common solutions. Some may even say that fragmented rivalry was such a key to Europe\u2019s past successes that it has become an ineradicable obstacle to further progress. But what if diversity is the road to unity, rather than a block to be overcome? We hear a lot about \u201ccoalitions of the willing\u201d these days …<\/p>\n

Coalitions of the willing, in deed if not in name, are emerging. Some EU expansions into new policy areas \u2014 notably \u201cpermanent structured co-operation\u201d in defence \u2014 have been undertaken without full participation. Nineteen out of 27 countries have taken up the \u201cSafe\u201d scheme of common EU loans for jointly procured defence spending. https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/370fe0b4-6896-4f24-9787-eb68dec071fe<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, we are seeing many in Europe getting together militarily and economically.<\/p>\n

Plus, the EU wants to expand. Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul is to travel to the Balkans to meet with six nations about being part of the EU (https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/germany-news-fm-wadephul-heads-for-western-balkans\/live-74756416<\/a>).

EU Enlargement of the Beast?<\/a><\/h3>\n

The European Union recently approved its \u201c2025 Enlargement Package\u201d. This means the European Union is continuing to give consideration for inclusion of other countries into its political, military, and economic bloc. Why would the European Union want to do this? The saying \u201cMight makes Right\u201d come to mind. Is it possible the inclusion of the population of other countries along with the increased population, trade, and economic clout would increase the might, of not only the European Union, but also power and economies of the nations being included? Has the growth of Europe, starting with the Benelux nations, already primarily expanded towards the south and the east such as is prophesied for the \u2018little horn\u2019 of Daniel 8? Does the EU want the rest of the Balkan nations, which are also basically south and east of Benelux, to be part of it? Will this new Union really be stronger in the long run? If new nations do join the European Union, will they remain joined? So, who cares if other nations join the European Union? Who cares if the EU will be stronger or not? Well, what if Biblical prophecies were being fulfilled? Would anyone care then? Would it matter to you if the European Union plays a major role in Biblical prophecy? What if the European Union was the sixth king of Rev 17:10 would you care then? What if Europe will reorganize and be controlled by the \u2018666\u2019 Beast? Would you be concerned? You should be. Here\u2019s the link to our free eBook, \u201cLost Tribes and Prophecies<\/a>\u201d, offered in this video that offers much more information on the European Union, the King of the North, and the Beast of the Sea.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t understand the role of the European Union in Bible prophecy, you need to watch this video. The European Union and the Beast of the Sea, listen as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical prophecy on current world events. The time grows shorter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The future of the world is being shaped in Europe, says German Chancellor Friedrich Merz<\/h2>\n

16 November 2025<\/p>\n

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) on Saturday stressed Europe’s strategic importance, saying that the future of the world is being shaped on the continent.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the German youth at the Young Union (Junge Union)’s Germany Day conference in Rust, Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg, Merz said this was not just about the European Union but the principles guiding the coexistence of people on the continent.<\/p>\n

“The future of the world is created in Europe,” said Merz. “I would like to finalise this thought with you. What does that mean? We are not just looking at ourselves. We are not just looking at the European Union. We are looking at a political model. We are looking at a principle. We are looking at fundamental decisions on how we want to live together.”<\/p>\n

Merz, however, stressed that the principles guiding the European Union model are not extinct amidst the growing challenge of authoritarian leadership.<\/p>\n

In this European Union, we are distancing ourselves from dogmatic socialism and communism, from compartmentalised markets, and\u2014according to Merz\u2014”from an authoritarian style of leadership.”<\/p>\n

“If we don’t get it right now, if we leave it to the nationalists to shape this Europe and basically abandon it, then one day we will have to be told that we have failed history.”<\/p>\n

This European Union also distances itself from all those “who believe that they can guarantee the security and prosperity of their own people with closed markets.”<\/p>\n

Merz also declared war on bureaucratisation: “That is precisely why I am so committed to keeping this European Union together. Not the way it works now, not with this over-bureaucratisation. This is not how the European single market was intended: a flood of regulations that basically only expresses mistrust towards citizens and companies.” https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2025\/11\/16\/the-future-of-the-world-is-being-shaped-in-europe-says-german-chancellor-friedrich-merz<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The European Union has not been pleased with the US, and yes it wants to lead the world.<\/p>\n

Plus, it has moving towards a new world order without US leadership.<\/p>\n
