Obama Administration wants strong European Union and wants the UK in it

John Kerry

US Secretary of State John Kerry made it clear that the Obama Administration wants a strong European Union (EU) and that it wants the United Kingdom (UK) to stay be part of it:

February 13, 2016

The US has a “profound interest in a strong UK staying in a very strong EU”, says US Secretary of State John Kerry.

Speaking in Germany, he said many Europeans felt “overwhelmed” by recent challenges but the US was confident Europe would “emerge stronger”.

His comments come ahead of a crucial Brussels summit, where Prime Minister David Cameron is hoping to secure a deal on a reformed EU.

An EU-exit group said the US stance on Britain leaving was “for US interests”. …

Last year, US President Barack Obama said the UK must stay in the EU to continue to have influence on the world stage. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-35569134

The USA apparently hopes that it will influence more in the UK to vote to remain in the EU when the promised referendum comes.

The latest poll I reported about a few days ago found that most in the UK were not inclined to vote for the UK to remain in the EU (see Most in the UK not convinced it should remain in the EU).

Back in early 2009, not long after Barack Obama became US President, I wrote the following:

Barack Obama has pledged increased cooperation with the Europeans. And while cooperation is normally a good thing, this particular cooperation is likely to lead to the rise of the prophesied King of the North, who is to be the final leader of the Beast of Revelation (Revelation 13:1). Unlike previous U.S. administrations, President Obama’s administration has declared that it will encourage and support increases in Europe’s own military, far beyond what Presidents Bush or Clinton were willing to consider. These policies will enable the rise of the King of the North.

Since I wrote that, his Administration has done that repeatedly. Here are some examples:

On October 15, 2009 it was reported that Czech President Vaclav Klaus was the lone EU leader still opposed to the Lisbon Treaty (Waterfield B. Czech President Vaclav Klaus ‘to continue’ lone resistance to Lisbon Treaty. Telegraph, October 15, 2009. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/czechrepublic/6329690/Czech-President-
Vaclav-Klaus-to-continue-lone-resistance-to-Lisbon-Treaty.html). The Obama administration worked to get the Lisbon Treaty approved as President Obama “wants a strong and united Europe” (Source: Baldwin T, Reid T., Coates S. Obama Administration worried about Cameron effect in Europe. The Times, October 21, 2009. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/
tol/news/politics/article6883075.ece#cid=OTC-RSS&attr=797093). On October 23, 2009, US Vice President Joseph Biden visited the Czech Republic and gave it security reassurances (U.S. foreign policy aware of threats – Havel after meeting Biden. CTK, October 23, 2009. http://www.ceskenoviny.cz/news/zpravy/u-s-foreign-policy-aware-of-threats
-havel-after-meeting-biden/404375). This could have possibly had some limited influence on some of the Czech leadership, as the Lisbon Treaty was signed two weeks after that visit. On November 3, 2009, Agence France Presse (AFP) reported that USA President Barack Obama publicly expressed his support for the Czech President’s signing of the Lisbon Treaty and for now having a ‘strengthened’ EU (Obama welcomes ‘strengthened’ EU. AFP, November 3, 2009. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hJ8

The New York Times reported that on May 10, 2010, President Obama called German Chancellor Merkel and told her that Europe needed an overwhelming financial rescue for the sake of its unity, and she apparently heeded that suggestion. (Erlanger S, Benhold K, Sanger D. Debt Aid Package for Europe Took Nudge From Washington. The New York Times, May 10, 2010. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/11/business/global/11reconstruct.html).

In December 2010, it was announced USA made “an extra commitment of money” to support the EU and it was also reported that the “United States, has committed 250 billion euros to the EFSF” (European Financial Stability Facility) to support the euro and economic structure of the European Union (US Ready to Back Bigger EU Stability Fund: Official. Reuters, December 1, 2010. http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/12/01/eu-us-efsf-idUSLDE6B023Z20101201). “US believes it’s time Germany stepped up and started acting like a regional and even a global leader” and Barack Obama publicly stated, “The world today does not fear a strong Germany” (DJW. Media roundup: Barack gives Angie a push. The Local, June 8, 2011 http://www.thelocal.de/opinion/20110608-35537.html).

In 2012, US Defense Secretary Panetta made public calls for the Europeans to increase their military strength and spending (Carmichael L. Europe Needs To Invest In Defense, Too: U.S.. Defense News, February 4, 2012. http://www.defensenews.com/article/20120204/DEFREG02/302040001/Europe-Needs-Invest-Defense-Too-U-S-?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|FRONTPAGE|p).

In the Spring of 2014, the Obama Administration again called for Europe (meaning to a great degree Germany) to increase their military spending (see Obama tries to provide assurances to Europe while pushing for increased European military spending). Increasing military spending will turn out to be the destructive to the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39). This is very dangerous.

Consistent with my understandings of biblical prophecies, the Obama Administration has been pushing for a stronger, more militaristic, European Union.

And it is no secret that Germany, in particular, wants a European army independent of the USA as I reported here last year (see Germany military looking to be ‘Independent of the USA’).

Now, while the Obama Administration wants the UK to remain in the EU, it will still support a strong EU, even without the UK. This will be to the detriment of the USA (as well as its Anglo-Saxon allies of the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

On June 26, 2007, (see Tony Blair a Catholic EU Leader?), I posted the following:

We in the COGs tend to believe that the final beast power will be nominally Catholic (see Europa and the Beast of Revelation)…we in the COGs do believe that Britain will pull out of the EU…

No matter what the Obama Administration says or does, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland will not be an equal part of the European Union. Britain will either pull out or be forced out or at least truly lose its sovereignty. The Bible indicates that the end time descendants of the Israelite tribes, because of their national sins, will be taken over and many killed.

Many of the Anglo-Saxon peoples of the UK, USA, etc. that are not killed will be scattered and many will be made slaves by the final European Beast power(see Hosea 7:11-16; 9:1-17; 11:5-7; 12:1; 13:12-16; see also Will the Anglo-Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves?). That is some of what the Bible shows will happen during the Great Tribulation.

The Bible warns of a time of trouble for the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic nations (Jeremiah 30:7).

The final European King of the North (Daniel 11:27-40) will take over the UK, USA, and their Anglo-Saxon allies according to Bible prophecy (cf. Daniel 11:39; Isaiah 10:5-11).

The coming referendum in the UK could be a step towards the UK’s departure and increased animosity with the continental Europeans. The USA will not prevent this.
