Hindu Line: Europe and Euro are Immortal

Europa Woman Riding the Beast Coin
Greek 2 Euro Coin Shows Woman Riding a Beast (cf. Revelation 17:3)

A writer is making some bold claims about Europe and the Euro:

Europe and euro are immortal

Hindu Business Line – May 17, 2010

by Mohan Murti, former Europe Director, CII, and lives in Cologne, Germany.

… the European Union has also been struggling to protect the euro, the currency used by 16 of its 27 members…Immortal Europe

Will the EU survive? People are asking the question because of the crisis. My answer is a categorical yes…

Clearly, there is more that unites its countries than divides them. Europe and euro are immortal.

Making Europe immortal is a very old idea. After being struck by one of Eros’s arrows, Zeus, the father of all Greek gods, fell in love with Europa, the daughter of the Phoenician king.

When he later realised that his beloved was destined to pursue the path of mortals, he named the continent after her and proclaimed: “Europa, you shall be immortal because the continent that has accepted your body shall bear your name for all time.”

While the Bible tells about the woman (Europa’s religion) riding the Beast, it clearly teaches that this new Babylonian system will fall after it prospers (Revelation 18).

Hence, whatever union develops in Europe will not be immortal. Neither will the Euro.
