EU concerned about UK election

Greek 2 Euro Coin Showing Europa Riding the Beast

Various ones in the European Union are concerned about what will happen because of the May 7th election in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland:

5 May 2015

You know, everyone turns away from you, looking rather awkward, and then tries to change the subject?

It’s a bit like that in Brussels when you ask people their opinion on the British election.

Why is that?

Well, as one German politician put it to me: “The real divide as we see it in the UK, is not between Labour and the Conservatives, it’s between the UK and Europe.”

This week’s vote is seen in mainland Europe as a Brexit barometer. An indication as to how likely – or not- it might be that Britain will choose to exit the EU.

The majority of Britain’s EU partners want it to stay and so – as an article in France’s influential Le Monde put it last weekend – Brussels has been treading carefully these last weeks not to focus on issues that might “annoy” the UK.

Hence the reluctance to discuss this week’s election in too much detail.

While Europe has barely featured in the election campaigns in Britain – with the exception of Ukip which managed to link the issues of the EU and immigration – here in Brussels the UK vote is being scrutinised to an unprecedented extent.

David Cameron has promised to hold a referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU by 2017 if the Conservative Party is returned to government. Labour hasn’t ruled out a referendum at some point and many EU civil servants believe the public mistrust of Brussels to be so high in Britain, they assume there’ll be a demand for some kind of EU vote. …

“Europe is watching,” Sophie in ‘t Veld, vice-chair of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, told me.

“People here realise that national elections have implications for the course of the European Union. Everyone is sure this UK election will somehow lead to a referendum and I hope Britain has not given up on the EU. The EU has certainly not given up on Britain.” …

In fact, despite well-known frustration in Europe at Britain often asking to be an exception to EU policies and regulations – in the case of the euro, Schengen border controls, the social chapter, the charter on fundamental rights, and police and justice co-operation which EU officials dismissively describe as the UK’s “pick and mix attitude” towards the EU – Britain is hugely appreciated in a number of ways.

Balance of power

Germany’s Angela Merkel, the EU’s most influential leader, has called for the UK to stay in the EU. …

If Britain leaves, it would be mostly German taxpayers, as the largest net contributors, making up the shortfall to the EU budget.

Britain is also often praised in EU circles for “asking the hard but necessary questions” as a close aide to Chancellor Merkel put it to me. Such as cutting EU red tape and increasing competitiveness.

Concern and interest in this Thursday’s election even stretches across the Atlantic.

Many in the UK believe that they provide too much funding to the European Union and are hampered by its regulations and ultimate agenda to eliminate national sovereignty in Europe. Many in continental Europe fear that if Britains get to vote on the EU that they may vote to actually leave it.

Nigel Farage’s UKIP wants the UK to leave the European Union. David Cameron wants the UK to stay in. This election ultimately may result in the UK leaving the European Union or at least changing its stance towards it.

The Bible shows that Europe itself will change (Revelation 13; 17:12, 13, & 15-18).

The reality is that the UK will leave or somehow be eliminated from the final confederation of nations that will be part of the European Beast power. Ultimately, the Europeans will divide up and rule the UK. Notice also the following from various writers who were once part of the Church of God (three of which have since died):

Here is Britain trying to GET IN on this uniting of Europe! … It is this same daughter of ancient Babylon who is to lay the YOKE of captivity and slavery on America and Britain. … Britain is allowing it self to get mixed in with European foreigners… When God brings Britain DOWN-the rime of JACOS’ S TROUBLE -the only time when the DAUGHTER of Babylon will be sitting astride a united MILITARY EUROPE. (Armstrong HW. BRITAIN’S DOOM Prophesied for Common Market Seeking Membership! Plain Truth, July 1962)

Perhaps it should be mentioned that the general position within the Churches of God is that Britain will not remain in the EU and will pull out at some point. (Thiel B. Tony Blair a Catholic EU Leader? Church of God News, June 26, 2007. https://www.cogwriter.com/news/prophecy/tony-blair-a-catholic-eu-leader/)

The English-speaking nations will not prosper for long in connection with this system, however. In fact, they will ultimately be overpowered and destroyed by it militarily. Prior to military attack and occupation, devastating weather problems, combined with internal civil strife (“tumults in the midst” cf. Amos 3:9) will bring our nations to the point of internal collapse. (Ogywn J. The United States and Great Britain in Prophecy. Booklet, Charlotte (NC)).

It should be understood that ultimately, Britain will NOT thrive as part of the EU but will be taken over by the final European Beast power–yet its former Prime Minister is promoting something that will not help the peoples of the UK. (Thiel B. Tony Blair Calls for a Strong, Elected, EU President Church of God News, June 9, 2007. https://www.cogwriter.com/news/prophecy/tony-blair-calls-for-a-strong-elected-eu-president/)

Bible prophecy clearly shows that Britain will not be one …comprising the final United States of Europe (McNair R. A Strong United Europe. Tomorrow’s World, February 1970, p. 17).

The Bible shows that Europe will have at least three reorganizations (see also Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?) and that ultimately trouble will come to the UK (e.f. Jeremiah 30:7).

The final European King of the North (Daniel 11:27-40) will take over the UK, USA, and their Anglo-Saxon allies according to Bible prophecy (cf. Daniel 11:39; Isaiah 10:5-11). Repercussions from this week’s elections will likely be a contributing factor.
