The Western leg of the Roman Empire has already returned in our generation. It is known as the EU or if you will, the European Union. As such let us look at what the scriptures point out to us about this last days kingdom.
The prophet Daniel points out that this kingdom will not hold together. Let’s look at the EU.
First of all, the European Union is made up of the same nations that used to be in the old Roman Empire. At the current time there are 27 members.
Second, the EU has a group of nations that they now call “The Ten”. This group of ten nations took hold July 1, 2011. Revelation 17: 12-13 tells us ten kings would come from this kingdom. Daniel 7:24-25 shows us ten horns will come this kingdom of which the Antichrist will first subdue 3 kings. These horns are the same as the ten kings in the Revelation.
Third, Daniel 2:41-43 point out the following: “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. 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. 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.” as noted in the above scriptures this kingdom will not hold together. All of these things I listed are the exact same things we see happening in this revived Roman Empire now. Here is the news today concerning the possible break up of the Eurozone nations. The headline to the report is entitled: “Eurozone crisis could rip EU apart: officials”
“The eurozone crisis could wreck the European Union, top EU officials warned on Wednesday as the leaders of Germany and France held talks with Greece to avoid a default and widespread chaos. The pressure rose on all fronts with United States again expressing great concern, with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner saying European states "now recognise they are going to have to do more" to resolve to the crisis. Highlighting the threat to the global economy, Geithner is to exceptionally attend talks between European Union finance ministers and central bankers in Poland on Friday.”
What I see is "I have a different take on this pre-mil end time thing and I'm proving my case by throwing aout a whole bunch of Scripture verses that seem to be related but really are not. Just don't look a the fine print and we will be all right." In other words, connect the dots...
