Europe Day 2014

Herman Van Rompuy

Today is one of two that are considered to be “Europe Day”:

In Europe, Europe Day is an annual celebration of peace and unity in Europe. There are two separate designations of Europe Day: 5 May for the Council of Europe, and 9 May for the European Union (EU). (Wikipedia, viewed 04/30/13)

A while back, on the European Union (EU) one, the EU President Herman Van Rompuy made the following statement:

The European Union will never become the United States of Europe…We have a special identity in each of our member states and a very specific situation due to our history but what we have to do is to create every time we can, and a crisis period is a very fruitful period for this. Unfortunately, we have to create more Europe, more European integration. http://www.euronews.com/2012/05/09/herman-van-rompuy-the-eu-will-never-become-the-united-states-of-europe/

Although I am a little surprised he used the term “Unfortunately,” others seem to think that is the plan. Notice what a British member of the EU Parliament, Nigel Farage stated:

“It’s astonishing. I mean the European Parliament meets tomorrow, and there is a debate about the emergency. Would you believe it, that Mr. Barroso, the President of the Commission, and my old mate Herman van Rumpuy, the European President, are both not going to be there because they have previous engagements? Even if they do have previous engagements, surely nothing could be more important than to come before the one representative assembly for half a billion people here in Europe. It looks as though these guys are hiding in their bunkers, pretending it’s not happening. What these guys in the EU are going to try to do is, as this crisis gets worse and descends, there will be an attempt at some point in the next few months for them to set up something that will be very like a dictatorship. I’m not sure now, with the public mood, that they will get away with it … the similarities (to the 30s) are really rather chilling.” http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2012/5/8_Nigel_Farage_-_There_Will_Be_an_Attempt_to_Install_a_Dictatorship.html

So, the EU’s President Herman Van Rompuy claims that the EU will never become a United States of Europe, while British EU Parliament member Nigel Farage claims that the plan is to end up with a type of dictatorship. I have reported in the past that some have claimed that the EU has plans for a strongman/dictator type of leader (see, for one recent example, EU Plot to Put in Super Leader While Excluding the United Kingdom?).

EU Parliament member Nigel Farage’s assessment is fairly close to scripture–Europe will reorganize and end up with a dictatorial leader (Revelation 13). And in a sense, if ultimately the EU (it could be called something else by then) accepts a dictatorship, it will not be quite a United States of Europe in the American sense, so in that way Herman Van Rompuy is correct.

Europe had some better economic news to report today:

May 5, 2014

European officials on Monday forecast stronger economic growth for the region, a major market for exports from California and the rest of the United States.

The economy of the 28-nation European Union will expand 1.6% this year after just 0.1% growth in 2013, according to the spring forecast by the region’s executive body. Growth will increase to 2% next year, the European Commission said.

“The recovery has now taken hold,” said Siim Kallas, the commission’s vice president.

“Deficits have declined, investment is rebounding and, importantly, the employment situation has started improving,” he said.

The region’s unemployment rate remains high at 10.5% as of March, according to Eurostat. the EU’s statistical agency. But that was down from 10.9% a year earlier. http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-fi-mo-europe-economy-exports-20140505,0,7984059.story#ixzz30qhxTlcv

That being said, I believe that Europe will also have more severe economic problems, before it fully rises up to fulfill its prophesied roles in Revelation 13-14,17-18.

As far as the near term future for Europe, later this month there is to be a vote on aspects of the future of Europe. Yet, no matter what happens, the Bible is clear that the someone who sounds like a dictator will rise up in Europe:

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)

And while now is not quite yet the dictator’s time, despite problems (Daniel 2:40-43), a major dictator in Europe (and I do not anticipate that it will be Herman van Rompuy) will rise up (Revelation 13:1-8), Europe will reorganize (Revelation 17:12-13), and become the final King of the North, European Beast power of Bible prophecy (Daniel 11:21-44).

The Bible also warns that ultimately, God will have it that union (Daniel 2:44) and its leader (Daniel 11:45) destroyed. Many will ignore Nigel Farage’s (as well as the Bible’s) warnings, but a dictatorship/empire will emerge.

And this will not be good for the British (nor the Americans), and ultimately not the Europeans.

Europa, the Beast, and the Book of Revelation discusses the largest church since the second/third century, which in a real sense is the eighth church mentioned in the Book of Revelation (it also endorses “eighth day” worship).
