Greeks Rioting Related to Austerity Cuts: A Prelude for Riots Elsewhere?

Greek Riots, 2008

The Greeks are again rioting:

The Greek Parliament endured another night of tear gas and intra-party turmoil Wednesday to pass its latest package of spending cuts, tax hikes and labor-market reforms, just as new figures confirmed the economy’s continued deterioration. This year, Greece’s output will be just 80% of what it was in 2009. The jobless rate has risen for 39 consecutive months, and 58% of young people are out of work. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323894704578106482941716300.html

Just proposing cuts is causing riots. This will happen elsewhere. The rioting in Greece may accelerate as cuts go into effect.

Will the same thing happen elsewhere?

For several years I warned that there may be civil unrest in Europe as well as more rioting in Greece.

Furthermore, in my 2009 book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect, I discuss the likelihood of civil unrest and/or civil war breaking out in Europe. Here are some captions from the book about that:

The Bible is clear that the final “Beast power” (which will be primarily European) will have such unique military capabilities that the entire world will marvel (cf. Revelation 13:3–4)…

Some believe that God will punish the nominal Catholics with civil unrest and war in Europe. As there already has been civil unrest in Europe (and according to secular sources, more is expected), it is possible that the following (to some degree) also may come to pass:..

Monk Hilarion (15^th century): “The people of the peninsula of Europe will suffer by needless wars…”

Brother Louis Rocco (19th century): “All over Europe there will rage terrible civil wars…A Great Monarch will arise after a period of terrible wars and persecutions in Europe.”

Some believe this civil unrest will result in the rise of a militaristic leader who will quell that particular violence, establish a new religious order, and reign with a pope who will perform miracles…

One interesting 15^th century Catholic prophecy foretells a time when a “great prince” will rise up. “All Germany” will apparently convert to the ecumenical religion, and then massive conversions in “all countries” “will happen quickly…

The descriptions of the Great Monarch/Prince in many ways parallel the description of one the Bible refers to as the “prince” in Daniel 9:26–27, final “King of the North” in Daniel 11:27–45…

The Bible is clear that the final “Beast power” (which will be primarily European) will have such unique military capabilities that the entire world will marvel (cf. Revelation 13:3–4)…

Here is more of what the Bible teaches about the first beast:

⁴…they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” ⁷…It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation (Revelation 13:4, 7)…

Civil unrest in Europe results in a military leader rising up, with various signs, who will appear to support an old and new religion… Daniel 11:27 Revelation 13:1–2 cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:9–10…

This does not mean that there must now be a civil war in Greece, but there most certainly could be at least significant civil unrest–and more is expected.

The USA itself is not immune to this, and when it has a series of physical crises hit it and its debt hampers it, massive rioting is likely there as well. Unrest in the USA is discussed in my recent book Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States.

We are likely to riots in many places. Jesus foretold a time of “troubles” (Mark 13:8) and civil unrest and rioting is consistent with that.
