3rd century Brexit from Roman Empire and 21st century Brexit from the rising Beast empire
Roman Empire 117 A.D. (Tataryn)
Brexit remains in the news with both those in the UK and European Union frustrated with the process. A process that is to be finished by March 28, 2019.
But did you know that the current Brexit is not Britain’s first departure from Europe? That first departure occurred in the 3rd century, from the old Roman Empire:
27 June 2016
This isn’t the first time Britain has moved to quit a united Europe. That honor goes to the Roman province of Britannia in 286 A.D. The Brits broke away from Roman control and set up their own independent empire, which lasted a decade.
At that time, most of Europe was united under the Roman Empire, and Britain enjoyed all the benefits of free trade and a single currency, free movement of people, and of course Roman roads, sanitation, justice and security. So what happened to make these ancient Britons quit such a comfortable setup?
Well, it wasn’t so comfortable. Taxes were high and demands for labor were pretty intense. Roman Europe was also evolving into a proto-feudal society, which many poorer people found oppressive. …
Unlike the European Union leaders in Brussels, the emperor of Rome was determined, and able, to use force to re-unite Europe. But thanks largely to geography, Carausius and his successor were able to hold out for 10 years. They established an effective government, raising taxes and issuing coins, building roads, milestones and forts. He won the support of the merchant class. He sought peace with his “brothers” — the emperors of Rome, but failed. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/06/27/britains-first-brexit-286-d/86422358/
Do I expect the Europeans to use force against Britain again?
Yes.
Now?
No.
It will take years before the power in Europe will decide that force against Britain is needed (for some biblical details see When Will the Great Tribulation Begin?). But it will happen and Britain will be no more.
An empire is intended for Europe. Last year, a reader sent me a link to the following:
‘EU WANTS AN EMPIRE’ Brussels hope to expand its influence as far as ASIA and AFRICA
THE EU wants to expand its influence as far and wide as Asia and Africa – with critics fuming it shows Brussels are planning to form “its own empire”.
1 July 2016
The latest EU foreign policy document, titled Global Strategy, calls for an extended reach into new spheres as distant as the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa. It also outlined “gradual synchronisation and mutual adaptation” between different member states’ individual defence strategies.
Ukip’s defence spokesman Mike Hookem said: “The EU wants its own Empire as former Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso made clear when he was in charge.
“This global strategy by the EU is yet another reason why last Thursday’s result was a lucky escape for the UK.” http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/685005/EU-superstate-army-plans-Brussels-expand-reach-China-Africa-Brexit-Ukip
As far as extensions into Africa and Asia go, the old Roman Empire extended into both the Near East and Africa. While biblically, we realize that the European Beast empire will dominate Europe, prophecies also show that it will end up controlling areas in the Middle East and Africa (cf. Daniel 11:40-43).
Consider that some believe that the European Union has been helpful for peace in a way similar to the old Roman Empire (bolding mine). Here are some comments from Charles Krauthammer:
The result is the EU … has given Europe the most extended period of internal tranquillity since the Roman Empire. (In conjunction, of course, with NATO, which provided Europe with its American umbrella against external threat.) 30 June 2016 http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-brexit-eu-britain-europe-krauthammer-perspec-0701-jm-20160630-story.html
The future leader of that European empire, called the King of the North in Daniel 11, will profess peace:
21 And in his place shall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue. 22 With the force of a flood they shall be swept away from before him and be broken, and also the prince of the covenant. 23 And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. 24 He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time. (Daniel 11:21-24)
The Bible warns of a temporal peace deal (Daniel 9:27) as well as a time people will proclaim peace before destruction comes:
3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. (1 Thessalonians 5:3)
The one called the King of the North in Daniel 11 (who is also called the Beast of the Sea in Revelation 13), will bring destruction:
36 “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. 37 He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. 38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 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.
40 “At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. 41 He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels. (Daniel 11:36-43)
These warring efforts will destroy the USA (the power with the strongest fortresses in the 21st century), its closest allies like the UK, as well as give the European power territory in Africa and the Middle East. Similar to the old Roman Empire.
More on what will happen to the UK and its allies can be found in the article Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel. More about what will happen to some of the Islamically-dominated lands in Africa and the Middle East can be found in the article Is the Future King of the South Rising Up?
We just put out a new video yesterday of possibly related interest titled: Forbes’ Brexit Monster is the Beast of Revelation.
Some items of related interest may include:
British are the Covenant People What do ‘British’ and ‘Britain’ mean in Hebrew? Are the descendants of the Anglo-Saxons people of the covenant? Does the British royal family connect to the throne of David? What does the Bible teach? What does history show us? Is there any DNA evidence related to British-Israelism? When did Christianity make it to the British Isles? Could Jeremiah have made it to the British Isles? What type of Christians made it to the British Isles? Did the last King of England believe in British Israelism?
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.
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.

Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations? Some claim that these passages refer to a gathering of 10 currently existing nations together, while one group teaches that this is referring to 11 nations getting together.
