The European Union was built on grand ambitions—peace, prosperity, and unity. Yet beneath the surface of its single market lies a maze of 27 national systems: 27 tax codes, 27 sets of consumer laws, and 27 bureaucracies. Businesses hoping to sell across borders must navigate this tangled web at great cost. To fix this, EU leaders are thinking about a new idea called the “28th regime” (Euractiv, October 16, 2025).

While political pundits have speculated, Tomorrow’s World has highlighted end-time prophecies related to the Middle East for many years. One key prophecy concerns the coming “king of the South” foretold in Daniel 11. This regional power will be composed of a group of Middle Eastern nations and will aim to control the Holy Land. It will ultimately face off against the German-led European “beast” power and be overcome by it (Daniel 11:40–44).
