Cyprus Surrenders to Europe

December 13, 2012 …

Cyprus has got no choice but to submit to Europe’s terms and request a bailout from the European Stability Mechanism (esm), Cypriot President Demetris Christofias announced… The decision means that Cyprus “will effectively lose its sovereignty,” wrote Spiegel Online.

“I need to make it clear that it was not our choice to resort to the European Stability Mechanism,” the Cypriot president told the nation in a televised address. But Cyprus’s “dire situation” forced it to turn to Europe…

“The price for the billions in emergency aid money is high,” wrote Spiegel Online. “The country will effectively lose its sovereignty.” The infamous troika—the European Commission, the European Central Bank (ecb) and the International Monetary Fund (imf)—will soon be in control.

Spiegel warned that in return for the bailout, the troika “will essentially take control of the Mediterranean island.”…

Watch for the European Union to take full advantage of its newly acquired real estate.

Cyprus is used as a listening post for monitoring activities in such places as Iran and the Middle East. The time will come when all the naval facilities in Cyprus will be under complete European control. Because of its very close location to the nation of Israel, I have long felt that Cyprus could be used as a base for an invasion of Jerusalem. And so has PCG.

The Bible tells of the rise of a power called the beast:

1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”

5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 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. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Revelation 13:1-8)

Notice that the power rises up from the sea. And in the Book of Daniel, in the end times there is a leader called the King of the North that will rise up in the end times. This king and the beast rising from the sea are the same leader for the end times, and rule a large territory.

Europe is north of Jerusalem and the one that will become the King of the North (Daniel 11:40) will lead an empire that had roots in the old empire of Rome (Daniel 9:26-27).

The Bible teaches that the “Great Sea” (Daniel 7:2) is where the Beasts of Daniel 7 come from:

2 Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. 3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. 4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. 5 “And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’ 6 “After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it. 7 “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. (Daniel 7:2-8)

4 See, I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the Great Sea westward. (Joshua 23:4)

13 Thus says the Lord God: “These are the borders by which you shall divide the land as an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions. 14 You shall inherit it equally with one another; for I raised My hand in an oath to give it to your fathers, and this land shall fall to you as your inheritance. 15 “This shall be the border of the land on the north: from the Great Sea, by the road to Hethlon, as one goes to Zedad, 16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), to Hazar Hatticon (which is on the border of Hauran). (Ezekiel 47:13-16)

The “Great Sea” that borders the ancient lands of Israel is the Mediterranean Sea. Despite some false claims by some, the Beast power is not a nation like Russia, which does not border the Mediterranean Sea, but Europe which does. And notice from the Bible that the beasts in Revelation 13 and Daniel 7 share many of the same characteristics.

Europe is the power that will control the “Great Sea.” And while the southern border of the Mediterranean Sea is currently under Arab control, the Bible shows that the King of the North will take over the Arab powers (Daniel 11:40-43; Ezekiel 30:1-9).

For a time, the European Beast power will be the world’s major economic ‘666’ power per Revelation 13 and 18.

Perhaps it should be mentioned that Europe itself gets its name from a mythological figure named Europa, who was famous for being seduced/abducted from a Beast that came out of the sea. This is something that European leadership is proud of and her image is shown in various public placed, the Greek two Euro coin, and starting in 2013, Euro notes (see EU Plans to Put Picture of Woman Who Rode the Beast on Euro Notes).

Europe is clearly tied to the Beast that rises from the sea and a female figure that rides the Beast. Revelation 17:3-9,18 specifically warns against such an arrangement.

Yet despite some historical claims to a biblically-claimed faith, Europe has a unification plan and keeps implementing parts of it. Most in the Anglo-lands still do not see it, but as Europe sees what is happening in the USA and UK, it is more determined to speed up its plans of being the dominant economic power in the world. It is getting much closer to being able to that than most people think. The deal with Cyprus is just another piece.
