Results of European Disagreement

In a recent article in the EU Observer, Professor Michael Smith commented on  European finger-pointing in the wake of the Brussels bombings: “The inevitable result of this confusion of naming and shaming, wishful thinking, and piecemeal intergovernmental cooperation is the Europe we have today, where all the major recent crises—the eurozone, refugees, and now terrorism—stem from the same problem: profound disagreement among EU member states, particularly the ‘big three,’ about the future of Europe and the institutional structures required to maintain its security and prosperity” (March 24, 2016). His article, entitled “Europe builds tower of babble against terrorism,” highlights the iron-and-clay nature that Daniel prophesied would permeate Europe at the end-time (Daniel 2:31-43). Dr. Smith also states the solution to the problem is for Europe’s major players to unite and pool their resources against the Islamic State (ibid.).

This suggestion reflects what Bible prophecies have long foretold. The book of Revelation states that prior to Christ’s return, ten kingdoms (or nations) will come together and give their power over to a central authority called a “beast” (Revelation 17:3, 12-13). This European “beast” power, also referred to as the “king of the north” (Daniel 11:40-44), will attempt to exert power over its Islamic foes and the entire world!
