Multi-Speed Europe Revived

“French president Emmanuel Macron has revived the idea of multi-speed Europe, while announcing that he will soon make ten ‘concrete’ proposals to reform the EU after Brexit”—a plan he will reveal after the September German elections (EU Observer, August 30, 2017). Macron recently met with the prime ministers of Luxembourg and Belgium. “The three leaders—who are all under 45, French-speaking and hold liberal views—said that they wanted to create a ‘coalition of the willing’ to reform the EU” (ibid.). Macron went on to illustrate how the concept of a two-speed EU is already a functioning concept in Europe.

Bible prophecy has long foretold that just before the return of Jesus Christ, an end-time power will emerge in Europe made up of ten kings who will be “of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast” for a short time (Revelation 17:12-13). The desire to create a “coalition of the willing” of a group of European leaders who think alike and willingly give their power over to the beast could lead to the fulfillment of this ancient prophecy. As world events move forward, it will be important to “watch” Europe—and especially Germany—because these events are going to impact the entire world in a manner that most people do not anticipate.
