Might Euro Fall in Six Weeks? LCG: Will Europe Come Apart?
Might the Euro collapse in six weeks? Notice the following claim from an important UK leader:
Six weeks to save the euro: Chancellor’s warning after another day of financial turmoil
World leaders were warned last night that they have just six weeks to save the euro from collapse.On another day of gathering economic gloom, George Osborne savaged eurozone leaders for failing to get a grip on their towering debts. The Chancellor set a deadline of six weeks – when leaders of the G20 group of leading countries will meet for crunch talks in France – for action.
George Osborne is is the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the United Kingdom. Basically, he by the British Cabinet minister who is responsible for all economic and financial matters (Wikipedia). The UK never adopted the Euro and has tended to look negatively towards it.
FWIW, in my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect, a bit over two years ago, I wrote:
Having the European power acquiring a lot more gold to back the Euro (even if the backing is only implied) or possibly other future European currency (that might potentially replace the Euro) may greatly increase European credibility, prosperity, and influence around the globe.
We will see what happens with the Euro.
But what about Europe?
In his commentary today, Wallace Smith of the Living Church of God reported:
The newspapers warn of terrible times ahead for Europe. Last Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal brought a sad story—“Greek Crisis Exacts the Cruelest Toll” — discussing the spike in suicides related to economic woes in Greece, and describing one man’s story in heartbreaking detail. Earlier, the same paper asked, “What Comes After ‘Europe’?” summarizing its own answer to the question: “The riots of Athens will become those of Milan, Madrid and Marseilles. Border checkpoints will return. Currencies will be resurrected, then devalued.”
These writers are among the many who are writing about the demise of the European Union as if it were a foregone conclusion. As author Bret Stephens, points out:
“America will survive this because America is a state. But as Bismarck once remarked, ‘Whoever speaks of Europe is wrong. Europe is a geographical expression.’ The ‘fiscal union’ that’s being mooted will never come to pass: German voters won’t stand for it, and neither will any other country that wants to retain fiscal independence—which is to say, the core attribute of democratic sovereignty.
“What comes next is the explosion of the European project.”
However, there is another way to understand the current economic and political turmoil. What some interpret as the death throes of a continental superpower-wannabe—an entity that had overreached in hubris and arrogance—may not be death throes at all. They may be birth pangs.
As long-time observers of the goings-on in Brussels have often noted, Europe’s bureaucrats, politicians and influence-peddlers always seem to come to the same conclusion: the solution to Europe’s problems is always more Europe! When unification causes difficulties, their solution is simple: more unification!
It is not a new phenomenon to see difficult times in Europe give rise to a powerful leader with the will and the power to unify much of the continent. Though it may seem tactless to mention, only the foolish fail to consider that Germany’s crushing economic woes during the Weimar Republic after World War I were instrumental as a catalyst for the rise of Hitler’s “Third Reich.”
Rahm Emanuel, former Chief of Staff to President Obama, infamously said of the unfolding U.S. financial crisis: “You don’t ever want a crisis to go to waste; it’s an opportunity to do important things that you would otherwise avoid” (New York Times, November 6, 2008). As today’s European Union heads into the greatest crisis of its life, many across Europe will see in that crisis the opportunities of a lifetime. The current turmoil will allow Europe’s power brokers and politicians to craft the next chapters of their continent’s story to suit their own ambitions.
But students of the Bible have the opportunity to know the end of that story in advance.
Bible prophecy has much to say about the final state of things in Europe. In His Word, God paints a picture of Europe’s destiny that does not depend on the whims of politicians or the latest economic panics. It is a picture of a continent’s rise to a position of unheard-of power and global domination. And it is a picture of the demise and devastation of the United States and the nations of the former British Commonwealth.
So, do not confuse Europe’s birth pangs for death throes. And do not wait for the headlines to catch up to the Bible! As the story of Europe’s race toward its destiny unfolds, skip to the last chapters ahead of time and read the end before it happens. View our Tomorrow’s World telecast “America’s Fall: Europe’s Rise” and read our article, “From ‘Brits’ to BRICs.” You will see that the “end” of Europe being discussed by analysts is, truly, only the beginning.
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 (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.

Europa, the Beast, and Revelation Where did Europe get its name? What might Europe have to do with the Book of Revelation? What about “the Beast”? Using the Tower of Babel and “Beast” images suggests it is not concerned about its role as being part of the future Babylon of Bible prophecy.

When do the 1335 days, 1290 days, and 1260 days (the time, times, and half a time) of Daniel 12 begin? What MUST happen BEFORE the Great Tribulation?

Will God punish the U.S.A., Canada, United Kingdom, and other Anglo nations? Why might God allow them to be punished first?
Will the Anglo-Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves? Will the lands of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand be divided? What about Jerusalem? What does Bible prophecy teach? Are there non-biblical prophecies that support this idea? Who will divide those lands? Who will end up with the lands and the people?
