Brexit result: 20 EU nations to confirm military pact and another call for European integrative reorganization
Leaders are pointing to the UK’s vote to leave the European Union as a reason to agree to a new European military pact:
November 8, 2017
BERLIN/BRUSSELS (Reuters) – At least 20 members of the European Union will sign up to a new defense pact next week, heavily promoted by France and Germany, to fund and develop joint military hardware in a show of unity following Britain’s decision to quit the bloc.
After years of spending cutbacks in Europe and a heavy reliance on the United States through the NATO alliance, France and Germany hope the accord, to be signed on Nov. 13 in Brussels, will tie nations into tighter defense collaboration covering troops and weapons.
The Permanent Structured Cooperation, or PESCO, could be the biggest leap in EU defense policy in decades and may go some way to matching the bloc’s economic and trade prowess with a more powerful military. …
So far France, Germany, Italy, Spain and around 16 other EU countries have pledged to join the pact, which could formally be launched when EU leaders meet in December. Some other members, including Denmark, Portugal and Malta, have yet to commit themselves publicly.
But it was clear that Britain, which intends to leave the bloc following the Brexit referendum of June 2016, would not participate, officials said. Britain has long sought to block EU defense cooperation, fearing it could lead to development of an EU army. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-eu-defence/eu-to-sign-joint-defense-pact-in-show-of-post-brexit-unity-idUSKBN1D81CT
As long-term readers of this page are aware, I have written for years that Europe would end up with its own military.
Readers will also remember that the post-Brexit vote development of a European army was something I posted here, as well as made videos warning about (watch Forbes’ Brexit Monster is the Beast of Revelation and Post Brexit Prophecy).
Why?
For one reason, the Bible teaches that Europe will have its own massive army:
25 He shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South with a great army. (Daniel 11:25)
The ‘he’ above is identified as the European King of the North (Daniel 11:40; watch also Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European?). As far as the King of the South goes, this is a power in the Islamically-dominated lands in the Middle East and North Africa.
Before going against those in North Africa and the Middle East, notice what the Bible teaches this King of the North will do:
39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain. (Daniel 11:39)
This is a takeover of the USA (which is the power with the strongest military fortresses in the 21st century) and its closest military allies–which would include the UK (cf. Isaiah 17:3; Daniel 8:24-25).
This European Beast power will rely on technology for at least part of its military strength and Europe has been providing more investment in military technology (see also European Technology and the Beast of Revelation).
The success of the European Beast, King of the North, power will cause the world to marvel:
3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” (Revelation 13:3-4)
Europe will arise. And it is now starting to tell the world publicly that it intends to do so. The world will be surprised this will happen, which is part of why I believe European technology will be a key factor in this (as will be deception and problems in the USA).
Currently Europe relies on the USA to defend it. This has been convenient for Europe and has allowed the Europeans to enjoy a standard of living that may not have been otherwise possible. However, Europe is developing its own military technology (see European Technology and the Beast of Revelation) and the time will come when it concludes it not only does not need the USA, but that it wants to take it over.
The UK and USA, historically, have opposed the idea of a separate European army, but instead have attempted to get the continental Europeans to be more involved in the North American Treaty Organization (NATO). Having a separate European army means that Europe will be better able to act independently of NATO, but by keeping NATO, it gives the Europeans a unique tactical advantage over the USA and UK.
Eventually, perhaps under the guise of a NATO exercise, Europe will launch a surprise attack against the USA (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:3; Daniel 11:39; see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses). This would possibly happen after one or more trade disputes (watch Trade Wars: Are COG warnings coming to pass), and likely after the USA has been weakened by weather problems (watch Hurricanes and Prophecy and Does God Use Weather?), terrorist acts (from likely Islamic sources allied with Europe, per Psalm 83:3-8; watch also Terrorism, Christianity, and Islam), war (watch Donald Trump, Warmongering, and the Red Horse of War), riots, solar flares, severe earthquakes, volcanic eruption (watch Are supervolcanoes a real threat?), civil unrest, devastation of their genetically-modified food supplies (watch GMO Risks and the Bible), food shortages, being debt-ridden (watch Land of ‘Free’ Abortions and Debt and Germany, Gold, and the US Dollar), and/or various pestilences–an intensity of “sorrows” such as Jesus discussed in Matthew 24:4-8 leading up to the time of the Great Tribulation. Disasters, especially if there is an ElectroMagnetic Pulse (emp) attack or a severe solar flare storm (watch Electrical End of the USA?), could be part of a so-called “perfect storm” of events that could set up the USA for destruction.
I suspect that after the Europeans and the USA and UK have some strained relations in the future, the Europeans may call for/agree to a joint military exercise, possibly under the conditions of NATO, in the USA. This would allow the Europeans to bring military aircraft, troops, and other military items to the USA, without the USA getting concerned it would soon be attacked.
For those who think that the Europeans are just too peaceful for this, consider that the Bible teaches:
5 “Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hand is My indignation.
6 I will send him against an ungodly nation,
And against the people of My wrath
I will give him charge,
To seize the spoil, to take the prey,
And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Yet he does not mean so,
Nor does his heart think so;
But it is in his heart to destroy,
And cut off not a few nations. (Isaiah 10:5-7)
And consider that more in Europe are calling for a European military (see also ‘Post-Brexit summit could pave way for European army’ or is it ‘laughable’?).
The Bible shows that the end-time European power will take advantage of circumstances, trust, and timing (cf. Daniel 8:23-25; 1 Thessalonians 5:3). While various people will claim that the Europeans are the friends and allies of America and Britain, notice the following prophecy:
1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!
How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!
The princess among the provinces
Has become a slave!2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies. (Lamentations 1:1-2)
The USA and Great Britain (including its Anglo-Commonwealth members, like Australia and Canada) were “great among the nations.” And the Bible is clear that betrayal is coming from national FRIENDS! Like many of those in NATO.
Europe is going to change. Notice another call for it to do so:
France to Germany: European status quo is not an option
November 8, 2017
On his first visit since a German election in September, Bruno Le Maire showed no signs of reining in the ambitious European vision spelled out by President Emmanuel Macron in a speech in Paris …
“We have a historic responsibility to overcome our differences and to reach an agreement,” Le Maire said, likening the current situation in the euro zone to being in the middle of a strong-flowing river where the currents were most dangerous.
“We can return to the shore of the nations, alone, isolated, and say it’s too difficult to move forward,” he said. “Or we can say ‘now is the time’ and acknowledge we have a historic opportunity to take a further step toward the integration of the euro zone, to reach the other shore.”
The status quo, Le Maire said, was not an option. …
Europe should no longer be “naive” in the face of economic challenges from abroad, accusing the Chinese of killing off the European solar panel industry and the Americans of using extra-territorial sanctions to shape global trade rules in their favor.
“Europe needs to stop being scared of its own shadow,” Le Maire said. “Divided we are nothing. Together we are everything.”
Notice that Europe has a problem with the USA and China, that the status quo needs to change, and that at least one European leader says that being united makes it become “everything.”
Everything?
Well, that essentially means the military, political, and economic ruler of the world.
The Bible basically teaches that will happen (cf. Revelation 13,17,18), but that Europe will first reorganize:
12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)
We continue to see more and more calls for Europe to reorganize (watch the recent video Ten Kings, Catalonia, and the Future of Europe). And it will happen.
Perhaps it should be mentioned that some COG groups, like PCG and LCG, changed the historic COG understanding of this and have sometimes insisted that the ‘ten kings’ in Revelation 17 refers to 10 currently existing nations (LCG has said 10 or 11) in the European Union. Yet, I have long contended that this is a reference to Europe reorganizing–into some type of regions/districts/kingdoms that will total ten. Later, that number may change.
We are seeing more calls for Europe to reorganize, further integrate, and build its military.
World events continue to align with properly understood biblical prophecies.
Understand that the current Anglo-American dominated world order will NOT continue (watch End of the Anglo-American Order and/or The New World Order Is Leaving the US Behind).

Forbes’ Brexit Monster is the Beast of Revelation Various ones have been properly convinced that there is a plan for a European superstate. Forbes’ writer Tom Worstall wrote that the Brexit vote was about the United Kingdom “not joining the monster of the European Union to come.” The Bible tells of a Beast monster that will arise in the end times in Europe. Dr. Thiel cites news reports, as well as the Old and New Testaments, to show that the monster many fear will arise in Europe, despite the vote by the British to exit the European Union. This is a video.
Post Brexit Prophecy On June 23, 2016, the voters of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) chose to leave the European Union. Now with this BRitish EXIT (Brexit) vote, what is prophesied to happen to the UK? Will the UK do well or be taken over and made slaves? Dr. Thiel explains from biblical prophecies what is ahead for the UK, Europe, and even the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. This is a video.
Brexit and the fate of Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, the UK, and the USA On April 29, 2017, 27 of the nations of the European Union agreed to certain guidelines for the negotiations with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which gave its notice to leave on March 29, 2017. These guidelines are contrary to what the UK wants. Does the EU intend the UK to pay a price for leaving the EU? What does Spain want? What does the Republic of Ireland want? Will Northern Ireland and Gibraltar eventually fall under European control? Will the UK and USA be conquered? What does the Bible teach? Dr. Thiel answer these questions and more in this video.
