Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France

Angela Merkel………..and……………. Nicolas Sarkozy

The leaders of Germany and France have called for a new treaty for the European Union:

Sarkozy and Merkel: We need a new EU treaty

The coalition government faces the prospect of a referendum on Europe and the outbreak of political warfare between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats after Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel demanded a new EU treaty within two years.

Telegraph – Oct 18, 2010 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/8072012/Sarkozy-and-Merkel-We-need-a-new-EU-treaty.html

France and Germany believe that such a treaty would help with the debt crisis in Europe, as well as potentially deal with other matters where cooperation has been somewhat limited.

David Cameron

Britain’s Prime Minister Davn Cameron has essentially already gone on record that the EU should not gain additional institutional power. And now, specifically, his party is opposing this expansion:

Cameron opposed to EU power transfer

(AFP) – 19 October 2010

BRUSSELS — Prime Minister David Cameron “will not support” a London-Brussels power transfer, a government spokesperson said Tuesday after France and Germany called for EU treaty change.

“We will look closely at what is being proposed, but as the prime minister has made clear, we will not support anything that involves a transfer of powers from Westminster to Brussels,” the spokesperson said after President Nicolas Sarkozy and Chancellor Angela Merkel called for new legal arrangements to allow tighter economic governance…

The government would only sign up to a “transfer of powers between other nations,” essentially eurozone states. It fears moves to extend EU economic governance powers beyond the eurozone would ultimately affect parliamentary sovereignty in London. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hJvyHd0yI-HCSbJ9nmXZ73nW6vXA?docId=CNG.187f08033fe68c98d16032a3c93790a9.351

The government in London has already had its parliamentary sovereignty affected because of the current Lisbon Treaty (which went into force on 1 December 2009). But the UK is concerned that more and more power will end up with the European parliament.

We in the Living Church of God have long predicted that the Europeans would get closer and closer together and that the United Kingdom would resist such attempts, based upon our understanding of Bible prophecy.

And as far as the Europeans go, notice that there is a prophecy in the Book of Revelation that ten leaders (probably each representing groups including parts of one of more European nations) will turn their power over to a dictator that the Bible refers to as the Beast:

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)

Now, I am NOT saying that the proposed new European treaty fulfills the above scripture. But what I am saying is that world events continue to go down the path that will lead to its fulfillment. The current proposed expansion of European Union power and authority is one such event, as was the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty in late 2009. Power is accumulating in the Europe that ultimately will always trump national power there.

And Europe will ultimately not allow Britain to exist as it now does. It will get that serious.
