UK Says “No” to EU!

After 43 years as a member of the European Economic Community and the European Union, the British people voted last week to leave the EU. In a close vote (roughly 52% for departure, 48% for remaining “in”), Britons cast their vote for national sovereignty and control of their own borders (Deutsche Welle, June 24, 2016).

Bible prophecies have long-anticipated this historic vote—which has also been predicted by this Work for decades. While it may take some time for the details of the exit to be worked out, other nations are also talking about making an exit as a result of Britain’s departure from the EU. The Bible clearly states that the final end-time European “beast” power will be comprised of ten kingdoms or nations (Revelation 17:12-13). Bible prophecies also indicate that God will use this “beast” power to punish Britain and other Israelite nations for their disobedience to His laws (Deuteronomy 28:15, 36-37, 41-48; Jeremiah 30:3-8; Joel 3:1). For more details about these sobering prophecies, be sure to read our 2012 article “Will Britain Leave the European Union?” and the booklet The United States and Great Britain in Prophecy. We need towatch world events as these end-time Bible prophecies come to pass.
