Many Christians believe this text is referring to the EU. Personally I don't know, Revelation is a deep and mysterious book, with lots of symbolism, and can only be understood by the Spirit of Revelation. I do know we are living in the last days, when "all these things shall be fulfilled."

Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Also, if this is true, the EU is is where the "mark of the beast" will initially be implemented.

Daniel is a much clearer verse than Revelation:

(Dan 9:24 KJV) Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

(Dan 9:25 KJV) Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

(Dan 9:26 KJV) And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

(Dan 9:27 KJV) And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

The people of the Prince that came and destroyed the City was Rome in AD70.

So, it may not be the EUin this form,but it will be a European Union of sorts, and it will have ten heads like Rev says.

I suspect this refers to the Arab League.

I do know we are living in the last days, when "all these things shall be fulfilled."

How do you "know we are living in the last days?"?!!
