The EU superstate – Future base of Antichrist

Major prophecies in
Daniel 2 and 7 indicate that the Holy Roman Empire will be the
dominant force in the world when our Lord returns. Twenty five
hundred years ago, Daniel saw the Roman Empire revived from the
dead in the end times. Those prophecies are today being fulfilled
in Europe.

I have often spoken about the rebirth of the Roman Empire in
the form of the European Union, the superstate of 25 nations that
has replaced most of the individual countries of Europe, a
country with its own flag and parliament. Then, in September,
came quite a shock: one of those ‘history being created
before your eyes’ moments. The EU, at an astonishing art
exhibition sketching the future of the organisation, described
itself under the heading: "Roman Empire Returns." According to
this EU exhibition, staged in a brightly coloured circus tent
outside the European Commission in Brussels, Belgium - core of
the EU - the EU will be renamed "The Union" once it grows to 50
States over the next three decades.

The United Nation’s headquarters will be moved to
Gibraltar, a tiny British enclave off the coast of Spain which
commands the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea - a very strategic
site. This will be as "the EU defends the international order
against the American onslaught."

According to slogans at the art exhibition, the European Union
is poised to overtake America to become the world's number one
superpower and predicts that the 21st century will be the
"European Century" as the EU pushes its borders deep into
Eurasia, North Africa and the Middle East and starts to dominate
the affairs of the world through its enormous "legal and moral
reach."

The euro will break the "overwhelming monopoly of the dollar"
by 2010 as India and China switch their reserves in order to
punish America for its ìstratospheric deficit."
Anti-Americanism has long been a keystone of EU policy, largely
shaped by countries like France and Socialist governments
throughout the continent.

The exhibition has Uncle Sam in the role of the villain of the
modern world and says: "The lonely superpower can bribe, bully or
impose its will almost anywhere in the world, but when its back
is turned its policy is weakened."

This display, with the overall title "The Image of Europe,"
was co-ordinated by the European Commission and sponsored by the
European Council. The EU's Dutch presidency said it was aimed at
narrowing Europe's "iconographic deficit" by conjuring up
forceful images.

According to the official website EUpolitix.com, world
renowned Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, has pitched his circus
tent in the heart of the Brussels EU area "in a bid to
communicate Europe to its citizens." In his depiction of the
current 25 states of the EU, Koolas has combined images of porn
stars, pop stars and political leaders, saying he was
deliberately sketching the schizophrenic condition of Europe
today. "We are operating in a field that is polarised by extreme
vulgarity, hedonism, shamelessness and market driven
modernisation," he said.

After its period in Brussels the exhibit will be travelling
icon-style around Europe and will be translated into various
languages.

However, although this gives a glimpse of the values driving
today's Europe, where modesty is a thing of the past and extreme
vulgarity appears nightly on the Continent's tv screens, this was
not the most amazing thing that happened as the new empire
unfurled its tentacles. On May 1st, no doubt coincidentally the
foundation date of the Illuminati, ten new countries, eight of
them former parts of the old Soviet empire, and the other two
island nations, joined the existing 15 countries to create a 455
million population superstate.

This "big bang" entry of new members took in Estonia, Latvia,
Lithuania, Hungary, Slovenia, Poland, the Czech Republic,
Slovakia, Cyprus and Malta.

Romania and Bulgaria have been told they will be admitted
around 2007 bringing the population to well over 500 million.

European Union Expansion

The 25 member EU has 20 languages and this will increase
further as countries like Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia and
Albania line up to join, with Turkey (with its population of 70
million Muslims) knocking furiously at the door. Vaclav Klaus,
the Czech president, said as his country was absorbed: "In a few
days our state will cease to exist as an independent and
sovereign entity." Not surprising as each new entrant was
presented with the 90,000 page Euro rulebook on accession - with
every rule having to be adhered to.

Back at Euro HQ, including the new structure known as The
Tower of Eurobabel in Strasbourg, France, (because it is built to
resemble the original Tower of Babel), there are 2,800
translators trying to ensure that all these people can
communicate with each other. Linguists are translating tongues
like Maltese into Czech in a mind-spinning 380 possibilities of
combinations of any two languages! As if they didn't have
practical difficulties enough, those behind the EU wasted no time
after gobbling up the ten formerly independent nations in
declaring that they had much bigger ambitions.

On May 4 came the amazing headline in The Times of London:
"Brussels plans to expand its empire again." This read: "With the
largest-ever enlargement
of the European Union behind them, European officials are now
preparing even more ambitious plans to expand the Brussels’
empire across North Africa, the Middle East and Asia. "They hope
that just as the enlargement (involving the ten countries) helped
to entrench democracy in eight former Communist countries, this
new policy will stabilise much of the Arab world as well as the
still turbulent far eastern regions of Europe."

Next the European Commission - the executive body - set out
plans to enlarge the EU to take in all the Muslim countries
lining the Mediterranean, from Morocco to Syria, as well as
Israel, Lebanon and all the former parts of the Soviet Union that
are in Europe - including Russia!

Under something called The New Neighbourhood Policy, countries
such as Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Ukraine and Russia would become
full members of the single market, with open borders for trade
and investment, and their citizens given the full right to live
and work in the European Union. They will be able to become full
members of the Union if they reach certain targets... EU
diplomats say that Jordan, Morocco and the Ukraine are the
closest to meeting their criteria but that most of the North
African and Middle Eastern countries will take longer-perhaps 20
years.

Romano Prodi, the Italian who is current President of the
Commission, said: "The goal is to create a ring of friends with
whom we share common concerns.." The downside is that this opens
the door to hundreds of millions of Muslims getting the right to
live and work anywhere in Europe.

Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, three former Soviet republics
in the Caucasus region between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea,
have been told they too will eventually be eligible for the New
Neighbourhood Policy, although all want full membership.

This reaching out to Muslim countries coincides with warnings
that, just as the EU
wants to take in Israel, so antisemitism is spreading throughout
its territory. Crude swastikas and stars of David have for years
been daubed on buildings throughout Europe and Israel's Ariel
Sharon has said: "Europe has a problem" (with anti-Semitism). He
believes things are being made worse by the huge numbers of
Muslems - at least 20 million, now living in Europe. They number
ten per cent (five million) of the French population, which also
includes 600,000 Jews, and a much higher percentage of the young
population. Even in supposedly tolerant countries like Sweden an
historian has challenged the taboo on criticising
Jews.

President Chirac's opposition to the Iraq war paved the way
for an open display of anti-semitism among militant Franco-Arab
youngsters. Salomon Korn, vice president of the Central Council
of Jews in Germany, says there is a risk of a pan-European fusion
of hatred against the Jews. Edgar Bronfman, of the World Jewish
Congress, added: "Anti-Semitism is on the rise in many European
countries."

The spectre of Nazism has not been banished and, as students
of prophecy realise, is something the Antichrist will one day
play upon and unleash.

The EU's watchdog on racism and xenophobia shelved a report on
racism in Europe when it concluded that Muslims and
pro-Palestinian groups were stoking the flames. Until recent
times the far right, still a significant force in many European
countries like France and Germany, had been mainly responsible
for anti-Jewish hate crime.

Christians who try to declare their beliefs in the brave new
Europe had better watch out, however. In Britain, a preacher who
held up a sign in a town square calling for an end to
homosexuality, lesbianism and immorality was "properly convicted"
of a criminal offence, according to Britain's High Court. Harry
Hammond, 69, was arrested for displaying an "insulting" sign,
despite the fact that homosexuals and their supporters were at
the time throwing water and dirt over him. Judges ruled that his
behaviour "went beyond legitimate protest." His tormentors were
not arrested.

In Sweden, so tolerant of everything but Biblebased belief, a
pastor served one month in jail this year for preaching against
homosexuality. Many of us in Britain see the beginnings of a
police state in the EU. For example, in April, Belgian judges
banned a party with politically incorrect views which was also
anti-EU. The Vlaams Block, a major party with 18 members in the
150 seat Belgian parliament, two MEPs and many local councillors,
was declared a "non party" and prevented from fielding candidates
in any election. There
are plans for EU funding of all political parties, but the
largesse comes with a snag. To get it you have to sign up to the
EU's ideals and pass a raft of tests designed to keep politicians
on the "right" lines as far as the superstate is
concerned.

The parties must also be "pan European"- operating across
borders, in another step aimed at breaking down the nation state.
This is coupled with an assault on press freedom and EU state
funding for broadcasters to make programs that are pro EU
propaganda. Needless to say, there is no money for stating the
opposing view, so yours truly need not apply!

This October the European Court quietly brushed aside 50 years
of international case law in a landmark judgement on press
freedom, ruling that Brussels does not have to comply with
European human rights codes.

The Euro judges backed efforts by the European Commission to
obtain the computers, address books, telephone records and 1000
pages of notes seized by armed Belgian police, on EU
instructions, from Hans Martin Tillack, then the Brussels
correspondent of Germany's Stern magazine.

Hans' mistake, which ended with him in a prison cell, held
incommunicado, was to write a series of hard hitting articles
exposing EU fraud and skulduggery, relying on inside sources. The
aim was to find the names of those sources and, said one
commentator, to "burn" a generation of EU whistleblowers, to make
them afraid to tell the press what is going on, in other
words.

British MEP Ashley Mote said: "This is a threat to press
freedom throughout Europe. The European Commission now has
unfettered powers to stop its activities being challenged."

The European Court of Justice had already decided that the EU
can lawfully suppress political criticism of its institutions and leading
figures in a ruling after a former leading Eurocrat published a
book called "The Rotten Heart of Europe." When this man was put
in court the EU state prosecutor implied that criticism of the EU
was akin to extreme blasphemy and therefore not protected
speech.

This is not the worst of it. Article 52 of the EU Charter of
Fundamental Rights declares that all freedoms and rights can be
restricted, including the right to free speech, and the right to
life! They can also remove your right to a fair trial, the
presumption of innocence and the absence of double jeopardy,
meaning they can try you twice for the same offence!

The monstrous project that is the creation of the EU began in
earnest with The Treaty of Rome in 1957 and now it is Rome which
is the base for the signing of the document which officially
creates a single Superstate, the EU constitution.

Italy is planning to be the first European Union member state
to approve the European constitution, having decided not to join
the six countries that say they will hold referendums on the
issue. The constitution will be signed on Capitol Hill, Rome,
where the Treaty of Rome was signed by the six founder
nations.

All 25 nations have to sign the treaty before the vast new
country can be created, although it is already operating as if
the treaty had been signed, taking ever larger slices of national
sovereignty away from nation states. The Rome signing ceremony
will be the last official duty of Romano Prodi as President of
the European Commission and he can move on knowing that the great
project which he has pushed for years is almost fully in
place.

In future national governments will only be able to act in
areas where the EU decides not to. The European Army is already
on overseas assignment.

The Euro symbol, the stars of Mary, appears on documents,
buildings, flags and licence plates through the 25 countries.
Europe has a common currency, the Euro, a national anthem
‘the Ode to Joy’ a supreme court and much else.

Now it awaits just one thing: the supreme ruler who will weld
it into the most terrifying institution ever seen on the face of
the earth. The Bible calls him Antichrist. Expect his arrival on
the scene in the not too distant future.
