United States of Europe to Come by Year End, but United Kingdom Not to be Part of It?
European Parliament, Strasbourg, France
The following news item, while based on the author’s opinion, was of high interest:
By Patrick O’Flynn
FIRST for the rather dramatic bad news: a United States of Europe will come into being by the end of the year, perhaps even by the end of the summer.
Now for the good news: Britain won’t be part of it…
To convince German public opinion to take on this new guarantor duty, Germany will have to become the dominant force behind monetary and fiscal policy throughout the eurozone.
It will, however reluctantly, have gained greater European domination through financial measures that ever it did by force of arms. http://www.express.co.uk/ourcomments/view/258395
Whether or not the author’s timing is right can be debated, but many of his points are of interest.
When Europe was still recovering from being devastated in World War II, in the December 1948 issue of The Plain Truth Herbert W. Armstrong predicted a coming “United States of Europe” (Armstrong HW. Now It Can Be Told…The Plain Truth,December 1948, p. 5). He also later predicted that Britain would not end up as part of the final United States of Europe (by whatever name that it would have), that a European currency with German backing would likely exists, and that a re-risen Germany would be the driving power behind the final European beast power.
Whether or not Patrick O’Flynn ever heard of Herbert Armstrong or Herbert Armstrong’s predictions is unclear to me. But what is clear is that he is coming to some of the same conclusions of Herbert Armstrong many decades after Herbert Armstrong made similar public statements (Herbert Armstrong died over 25 years ago).
While I am not questioning the motivation of those who are currently trying to deal with Europe’s financial and other problems, the Bible warns that a truly militaristic power will emerge (cf. Revelation 13:1-4). And events are aligning with the understanding that we in the Living Church of God have related to certain aspects of end time Bible prophecy.
