As Greek Drama Plays Out, Where Is Europe?

By STEVEN ERLANGER

A French member of the European Parliament, Philippe Juvin, vented to Agence France-Presse: “Where is the president of the European Council? What is the president of the Commission doing? Is there a European pilot in the Greek crisis? Or are they waiting for the collapse of the euro?”But the Lisbon Treaty that created Mr. Van Rompuy’s position, and which was intended to make the enlarged European Union more agile and coherent, deliberately left out powers for coordinating fiscal policies, which are the fiercely guarded prerogative of the separate nations. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/30/world/europe/30europe.html

So, because of the Greek crisis, the Iceland volcano, and other issues, the Europeans are starting to look for stronger leadership.

Where might all this lead?

Herman van Rompuy will likely take a more public role.
Taxes will be raised and some government spending cut/changed in Europe to deal with a lot of issues (Daniel 11:20).
There ultimately will be civil unrest (and likely worse) in Europe.
The Euro will likely be faced with at least one more crisis.
There will be calls for a “strong man” type leader for Europe, who will rise up (Daniel 11:21-30) (and become militaristic per Daniel 11:31-44).
The structure of the European Union will change (Revelation 17:12-13).
The Beast power will ultimately rise (Revelation 13). And there will persecution (Daniel 11:29-35; 7:25).

Watch and see (cf. Mark 13:9, 33-37).

Persecutions by Church and State This article documents some that have occurred against those associated with the COGs and some prophesied to occur. Will those with the cross be the persecutors or the persecuted–this article has the shocking answer.
2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect This is a link related to a book by Bob Thiel (COGwriter). This also has YouTube videos related to 2012. The book contains documented prophecies as well as an end time sequence of events that Christians should study and understand. Including the role of Europe and how it is pivotal to end time biblical prophecy.
