Euro Agreement, But UK Does Not Agree?
The Europeans somewhat have an agreement, except that the United Kingdom does not agree:
12/09/2011
BRUSSELS — European leaders, meeting until the early hours of Friday, agreed to sign an intergovernmental treaty that would require them to enforce stricter fiscal and financial discipline in their future budgets. But efforts to get unanimity among the 27 members of the European Union, as desired by Germany, failed as Britain refused to go along…
Two countries, the Czech Republic and Sweden, said they would want to talk to their parties and parliaments at home before deciding, said President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, but it seemed unlikely that Sweden would join. Hungary said it wanted to examine the details, leaving Britain isolated…
The outcome was a significant defeat for David Cameron, the British prime minister, who had sought assurances to protect Britain’s financial services sector in exchange for doing a deal. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/10/business/global/european-leaders-agree-on-fiscal-treaty.html
European Union leaders failed to get all of the bloc’s 27 members to back a change in the EU treaty to tighten their fiscal coordination as a decisive summit in Brussels ended its first day in the early hours Friday.
The leaders, who are still deeply divided over key elements of their crisis strategy, decided they would move to form a pact among at least 23 of the members to tighten rules on national fiscal policy.
But details of the proposed treaty remained to be settled. The U.K. stood aside—http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203501304577086030233783036.html
Eurozone deal leaves Britain isolated
The refusal by David Cameron, UK prime minister, to agree to a full treaty change for all 27 EU members unless there were safeguards for UK financial services caused a standoff in the early hours of Friday morning with Angela Merkel, German chancellor, and Nicolas Sarkozy, French president.
“I really don’t believe David Cameron was ever with us at the table,” Ms Merkel said. “We’re very pleased with the result. Yesterday was no weak compromise for the euro.” http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/0da05152-2222-11e1-acdc-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1g3HzrKQP
If there is no final deal and the EU has more problems, then those who support will likely have quite negative views for a long time against the UK.
Those of us in the Living Church of God have long taught that the United Kingdom would not be a real part of the final power that will emerge in Europe. Notice, for example, something I posted a couple of days ago (see UK’s Cameron’s EU Demands and EU’s Rompuy’s Solution):
It seems like, at least weekly if not more often, there are items in the international press that support the view that the UK will not be part of the final European formation as anything like an equal partner, its lands (like those of the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) will apparently be conquered by this power (cf. Daniel 11:39).
Furthermore, the Bible, in Revelation 17, is clear that the Europeans will reorganize in the future:
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)
Steps towards this happening are continuing as we in the Living Church of God have long taught–and there will be bumps in the road and problems (major civil unrest, or worse, may occur).
Of course, the Bible is clear that the final European Beast power will not actually be highly unified as it will basically be a combination of strong and weak, or as the Bible more literally states, iron and clay:
41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. (Daniel 2:41-43)
According to Bible prophecy, a European power, despite its fragility, is destined to temporarily be the most dominant force in the world, ultimately conquer the Anglo-descended nations (it is the USA and its Anglo-allies like the UK that have the strongest fortresses of Daniel 11:39), and later come to its end (Daniel 11:45).
But before it is destroyed (Daniel 11:21-44), the final Beast power must come together and get to the place where it has major economic influence.
