EU NUPDATE: 7.1.16 - Brexit and Prophecy


Prophetic implications of Brexit - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com
 
The exit of Great Britain from the European Union has left many wondering whether this accelerates or decelerates the one-world order Beast empire of the end times. One school of thought is that it delays prophecy because the revived Roman Empire predicted as the platform for the antichrist is suffering a setback. Some say if Turkey moved ahead with plans to enter the European Union, that it would then become a primary stakeholder in the revived Roman Empire theory. Turkey, however, has grown increasingly Islamic and less European in nature (It is part of Asia Minor, not Europe). But there is yet another way of looking through the prophetic lens at the toothless European Union and its break up.
 
Daniel 12:4 says, "But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." As we approach the end times, knowledge is increasing, especially about what the prophets were saying about the end. As we study the Old Testament prophets, map their words with those of Jesus and the Apostles, and apply history to them, the picture becomes clearer. Not one European nation is mentioned among the nations that come against Israel in the end times. Those that are mentioned are all traditional enemies of Israel going as far back as the foundations of Esau and Ishmael. Today, they are all Islamic nations.
 
The Islamic Caliphate/Ottoman Empire, headquartered in Turkey, was one of the longest lasting empires in history spanning 624 years from 1299 to 1923. It ruled over much of southeast Europe, Western Asia and North Africa. Its control over the Middle East was far greater than the Roman Empire. Some scholars now believe that a revised Ottoman Empire is the one prophesied by Daniel as the end-time antichrist system. Also the antichrist army of Ezekiel 38 is led from specific locations in Turkey--Magog, Meshech, Tubal. Jesus is quoted in Revelation 2:13 that Pergamos is "even where Satan's seat is...where Satan dwells." Pergamon is in Turkey.
 
Given the current Islamic invasion of Europe under the guise of "refugee migration," it is possible that within a short period of time, traditional Europe as a political body will be even weaker than it is today. As Islam increases in power, the possibility of an end time caliphate of traditional enemies of Israel can rise to tremendous political power as a platform for the beast empire. Britain's exit from the EU signals a setback in prophecy to those who believe a revised Roman Empire will be the one that the antichrist rides to power. Britain's withdrawal signals an acceleration of prophecy to those who see the antichrist leading a coalition, or caliphate, of Israel's traditional enemies in the Day of the Lord. Irrespective, it's on God's time.
 
 
You'll know by now - unless you've just flown in from Mars - that the UK has voted in a referendum to leave the EU.
 
What does that mean for those of us who are interested in eschatology and a future European based global governing power? At times like this I wish I could phone Omega Letter founder Jack Kinsella for an analytical briefing. Unfortunately, I haven't got a Hot Line to him. I'm probably at the bottom of the list of people to go to for an analysis. For what it's worth, here's my input.
 
The Brexit decision took a lot of people by surprise. In hindsight, it shouldn't have. It's no secret that the unchecked influx of Islamic immigration has been a major concern. There was always going to be some public reaction to this trend.
 
There were whispers of dissent in the EU. We've seen a gradual rise in nationalism. There have been protests and a strengthening of the right-wing parties. I'd also argue that the recent popularity of Hitler's memoir Mein Kampf has is a red flag. Yet the EU leadership has doggedly kept to its immigration policies.
 
Many who voted for the UK to remain in the EU want to make this Brexit vote about racism and "Islamophobia." One will find some cases of prejudice and bigotry. However, genuine problems associated with EU Islamic integration have been well documented by organizations such as Gatestone Institute.
 
The fact that EU leaders have largely ignored the causes of home-grown terrorism, overlooked the manifold integration problems, and imposed their decisions on the masses, hasn't helped their narrative. Brexit is a wake-up protest vote.
 
What does this mean for Bible prophecy? I don't know. Nobody else does for sure either. There are too many possible short-term scenarios and differing secular prognostications to consider. There have even been rumors of a European Super State following the Brexit vote. Is it possible that a crisis will waken the European Machine?
 
Following are some prophecy-related commentaries on Brexit (there are others). I'm not convinced with everything contained in the materials and they don't all agree with each other. But do they offer food for thought:
 
The first one is from Robert Congdon Ministries. I thought this was interesting:
 
"Prophetically, I (Rob) have long theorized that the geopolitical center of the EU would move from Western Europe to Eastern Europe. The ancient Roman Empire's power eventually was divided between Rome and Constantinople, with the Eastern Empire continuing long past the demise of the Western Roman Empire. We have been closely watching Turkey and its involvement in Syria. We often forget that the seven churches of Revelation were located in Turkey and that the Eastern Roman Empire was centered in Constantinople."
 
Also please note Robert Congdon's biblical admonition in the last paragraph of the article. He writes in part:
 
"For all who have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior (John 1:12) we need not worry, for God controls history (Daniel 2:20-23) and promises to keep us in His hands (Jude 24). We need to keep alert to what is happening and redeem the time by proclaiming Christ and His salvation to those around us."
 
Agree or disagree with his eschatological model, Bill Salus provides some compelling propositions. He rightly advises:
 
"German Chancellor Angela Merkel promptly warned EU member states against drawing hasty conclusions about Britain's decision to quit the bloc, as that risked further splitting Europe. Bible prophecy buffs should follow this same sound advice."
 
Also, I couldn't possibly leave out a link to the passionate and informed J. D. Farag's video discussing Brexit.
 
Meanwhile some anti-prophecy scoffers have had their day of triumph. Postmillennialism sees dispensationalism as an errant and pessimistic "Left Behind style rapture-based" theology. One postmillennialist wrote a satirical piece stating that Brexit left dispensationalists shocked, disappointed and angry.
 
Our postmil friend jumped the gun.
 
The church has had enough time to usher in the kingdom so that Christ can return. The postmil ship resembles the Titanic's last gurgle with the world going the wrong way. The church today is more fractured than the EU is claimed to be. It cannot govern itself let alone change the world via the gospel.
 
This doesn't mean we give up the Great Commission. It means Christ returns as a conqueror to a largely rebellious world (Zech 12:9; Matt 25:31-46; Rev 19:15-21).
 
Moreover I'm reminded of the collapse of the Berlin Wall and subsequent dissolution of the USSR. Both Christian and secular scoffers enjoyed lampooning the "failed" End-Times Bible prophecy teachers of the time. In retrospect, these prophetic interruptions warned about speculating on specific details. We are given certain outlines of prophecy, and the Final Result. But God has His own timing.
 
Today we find Russian nationalism has returned under Putin's imperialist aspirations. We have an Iran which seeks to dominate the Middle East and destroy Israel. The region is in such growing turmoil that World Leaders despair about finding any solution. The Obama administration has orchestrated the departure of US influence - except for its interference in Israeli affairs. So the prophetic clock has been reset.
 
Speaking of prophetic clocks - what about Israel?
 
How do scoffers of biblical prophecy explain national Israel's re-emergence into the world? Even if one appeals to Zionist contrivance (as some try), how do you explain Israel's survival under Arab attacks as a fledgling nation? What about the historical animosity against the Jew and the irrational hatred of Israel? Did Zionists orchestrate hate as well (Zech 12:9, 14:2-3)?
 
Why does significant venom and prejudice against Jewish Israel come from Christians and church organizations? Could they be unwittingly subject to prophecy despite their skepticism (Deut 28:37; Psalm 44:14)?
 
Don't think that the Brexit "nationalist" vote is a mortal wound to globalism. The global initiative won't just curl up and die because of a referendum. Furthermore nationalism and decentralization bring their own set of problems (see Hitler and Mussolini etc). If the wrong sort of nationalism raises its head, we'll see the same dynamics which were present in 1930s Europe.
 
Finally, as one prophecy commentator noted, globalism won't happen until God decides it's time. It won't happen until the Antichrist is given permission to act. For the moment, God is still restraining until that time (2 Thess 2:7-8).
 
Prophecy hasn't failed. God is still on His Throne and still in control. But time is running out for this world.
 
Maranatha!
 
 
'The Hal Lindsey Report' - Hal Lindsey - www.hallindsey.com
 
240 years ago the United States of America declared its independence from Great Britain.
 
Last week, Britain had an independence day of its own. The citizens of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union.
 
Voters turned out in droves. 52% voted to "Leave" the EU. 48% voted to "Remain." Even with that fairly close margin, more people voted to "Leave" the EU than ever voted for anything in Britain's history.
 
Prior to the referendum, the fear-mongering from commentators, British and European public officials, economists, professors, celebrities, and most newspapers warned of an imminent economic apocalypse if the UK left the EU.
 
The drive to leave the European Union was referred to as "Brexit." That loosely represents "British exit."
 
The British people -- not the British government -- decided to leave for several reasons, but they can be summed up in a single phrase: Loss of sovereignty.
 
As part of the EU, Britain did not even control her own borders. As a result, European policy has sent Britain a flood of immigrants, many from terrorist strongholds. And the British had virtually no say in the matter.
 
The European Union is the "federal government" of Europe. For years, it has been sucking up the rights and responsibilities of the previously sovereign nations which are part of it.
 
The executive branch of the EU is the European Commission (EC). Members of the EC are not elected by the citizens so they are not accountable to the citizens. These unelected bureaucrats are making life miserable for many Europeans by their unbelievable regulations and restrictions. (Sound familiar?)
 
Boris Johnson, the eccentric former mayor of London, was one of the leaders of the "Brexit" movement. He discussed the rampant over-regulation by EU bureaucrats: "Sometimes these EU rules sound ludicrous, like the rule you can't recycle a teabag, or that children under eight cannot blow up balloons, or the limits on the power of vacuum cleaners."
 
The EU even has a regulation limiting the curvature of bananas!
 
And they're about to place restrictions on the power usage of household appliances like toasters and hair dryers.
 
Silly though it sounds, over-regulation costs people their livelihoods. It destroys industries and neighborhoods. It severely and unnecessarily restricts human liberty.
 
It will be fascinating to watch what happens to Britain and the vast money machine known as the European Union in the wake of this decision. I personally do not believe it will be as dire a catastrophe as the global "establishment" is predicting.
 
But the European elites have another problem -- liberty is contagious. Even now, as many as five other countries are contemplating joining the UK in leaving the EU. They include France, Austria, the Netherlands, Finland, and Hungary.
 
Many have written to us and other ministries asking if we believe there are prophetic implications with "Brexit."
 
My short answer is, "Yes."
 
My longer answer is, "I don't know for certain what they will be."
 
If you are a regular viewer of this program or a reader of my books, you will remember that I have always told you this: Prophecy rarely moves in a straight line! The Bible gives us snapshots of the future, but does not give a road map detailing every little turn along the way.
 
God told us where the world is going, but not every detail of how it will get there.
 
While I personally think "Brexit" presents a rare moment of good news in geopolitics, it's important to realize that it also presents a danger. When an old world order implodes, a new one always rises. The very people who fought the hardest to keep Britain in the fold are now plotting ways to turn this into a disaster they can use to their advantage.
 
From the perspective of Bible prophecy, "Brexit" illustrates two forces that seem contradictory: The rise of "globalism" and the simultaneous rise of "nationalism."
 
Of these days, Jesus once said, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom." (Matthew 24:7 NASB)
 
Two millennia ago, Jesus predicted something that has now become so common we have a name for it: Identity Politics. The Bible tells us that as we approach the final days of this Age, schisms between "people groups" will increase. At the same time, we will see "globalism" on an unprecedented scale.
 
That "globalism" will culminate in a one world government under the control of the Antichrist and the False Prophet.
 
The forces of globalism and nationalism may logically seem contradictory. Yet we already see them at work all around us.
 
Britain is leaving the EU, but intends to remain in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Even as nationalism rises, the countries of the world are banding together into giant "trade confederations." And these "partnerships" already have tremendous control over their member nations.
 
Britain leaving the EU illustrates the worldwide rise of "nationalism." The international panicky reaction to its leaving shows the new strength of "globalism." And, according to the Bible, it's just a preview of things to come.
 
Hey! Remember the "Occupy" movement of just a few years ago?
 
Protesters took over parks and streets -- all without any attempt to follow the law or obtain permits for their activities. They stayed 24 hours a day, even when the law prohibited anyone to stay overnight.
 
In the streets, they shut down traffic. They even tried to take over public buildings.
 
They subverted the law by the force of their numbers. They made it an act, not just of civil disobedience, but sometimes of violence. People were actually accosted. There were even rapes!
 
Sometimes, after they were over, the encampments had to be cleaned by workers in hazmat suits. In one city, after an "Occupy" protest, clean-up crews removed 25 tons of filth.
 
The common thread of the "Occupy" protests was the flagrant, intentional flaunting of the rule of law.
 
Last week, the "Occupy" movement came to Capitol Hill.
 
A band of 60 Democrat lawmakers -- including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi -- staged a "sit in" on the floor of the House of Representatives. Nothing quite like it has ever happened before in the U.S. capitol.
 
In essence, our national lawmakers flaunted the very concept of the rule of law.
 
In the wake of the Orland massacre, the mainstream media portrayed them as heroic.
 
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan described it as a "publicity stunt" to force the House to consider radical gun control legislation. It was a publicity stunt because the legislation had already been defeated in the Senate and was not being considered by the lower chamber.
 
But, folks, the issue here is not guns, it's "mob rule." It's always frustrating to be the minority party in either house of the Congress. But in the past, both parties believed in the rule of law.
 
Illegally "occupying" the House chamber disrespects the very concept of representative government embodied by the House of Representatives.
 
The "sit in" was suspended for the Fourth of July holiday, but the threat of another protest in search of new restrictions on our Second Amendment rights still looms over Washington.
 
It seems with this protest by the Democrats, our government has turned a corner. If, through civil disobedience, the minority party can bring a halt to the work of the Congress, it may no longer matter who wins the majority.
 
Think about what has happened. For many in Congress, the place where law is created has ceased to be a place where law is respected.
 
Folks, "government" is one of the God-given pillars of human civilization. It stands between us and anarchy.
 
Jesus said that in the last days, "Lawlessness will abound." (Matthew 24:12 NKJV) And now we've seen "lawlessness" manifest itself on the floor of the hallowed chamber where our laws are created.
 
Finally, in a time of unprecedented stress on each of us as individuals, we need some good news. And that good news is that as followers of Christ, we don't need to hide our heads in the sand to escape the things that are bearing down upon us.
 
In fact, we can lift our heads! Our liberation is growing ever nearer!
 
But if you have any doubt that you are ready for the day when Jesus Christ will return to snatch His true followers out of harm's way, I am going to show you how easy God has made it for us to join His eternal family!
 
Don't miss this opportunity to take care of this issue in your life once and for all. Invite others who need to hear this "good news" to tune in, too.
 
I want to wish all of you a "Happy Fourth of July!" Please, don't get so busy with all of the fun and festivities that you forget to thank God for this wonderful nation He has given us. Truly, we are the most blessed people on earth!
 
God bless you and God Bless America!
 
 
Just Days After Brexit, EU Releases Plan for Further Expansion, An EU Army, AND Turkish Membership - Nick Hallett - http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/06/29/european-leaders-release-plan-eu-army-turkish-membership/
 
The European Union (EU) is going through an "existential crisis" that can only be solved through more military integration, Turkish accession and the creation of a "true union", EU chiefs have said.
 
In a document on the political union's foreign policy objectives in light of the UK's vote to leave, EU officials call for a "stronger Europe" the draws on "the combined weight of a true union".
 
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini points out in the foreword that "the European Union currently deploys seventeen military and civilian operations, with thousands of men and women serving under the European flag for peace and security" before calling for further integration.
 
The document adds that the EU needs "full spectrum defense capabilities", and although it claims members states will "remain sovereign" in decisions of defense, it goes on to say: "To acquire and maintain many of these capabilities, defense cooperation must become the norm."
 
In a strong hint that it plans to create a shared army that can operate alongside but also separately from Nato, it says that while the transatlantic defense organization "exists to defend its members", Europeans "must be better equipped, trained and organized to contribute decisively to such collective efforts, as well as to act autonomously as necessary."
 
It also calls for a "strong European defense industry" supported by "Union funds" and "multinational cooperation".
 
The EU's military efforts will be bolstered  by a "diplomatic network" that runs "wide and deep in all corners of the globe", the document adds.
 
However, in a reminder of one the pet hates of Eurosceptics, the document also contains a good deal of unclear jargon.
 
At one point, it says: "The EU will be a responsible global stakeholder, but responsibility must be shared and requires investing in our partnerships. Co-responsibility will be our guiding principle in advancing a rules-based global order."
 
In terms of Turkish membership, the document is clear that it should happen as soon as possible.
 
At one point it outlines the EU's desire to expand further, calling for a "credible accession process" for the countries of the Western Balkans and Turkey.
 
In the meantime, it also calls for greater cooperation with Turkey in the hope that it can bring the country's Islamist government in line with EU accession criteria, including a restoration of relations with the EU state of Cyprus.  Turkish citizens should also have easier visa access to the EU, it says.
 
"The EU will therefore pursue the accession process - sticking to strict and fair accession conditionality - while coherently engaging in dialogue on counter-terrorism, regional security and refugees. We will also work on a modernized customs union and visa liberalization, and cooperate further with Turkey in the fields of education, energy and transport."
 
The document is further evidence that EU leaders are trying to rush integration after the Brexit vote, in a bid to prevent other member states seceding.
 
Earlier this week, the Chairman of the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs, Elmar Brok, called for the creation of an EU army, telling German paper Die Welt: "We need a common (military) headquarters and a coalition (of EU countries) acting in accordance with the permanent structural cooperation of the EU Treaty. From such a group an EU army could eventually arise."
 
The plans may come up against opposition from ordinary voters, however.
 
Earlier this year, a Pew poll showed that the vast majority of EU citizens were reluctant to increase defense spending. Of all 28 EU member states, only Poles and the Dutch favored an increase.
 
 
 
"Where no wise direction is, a people falleth; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety." Proverbs 11:14 (The Israel Bible�)
 
Over the past few days, the internet has been on fire with memes, commentary and conjecture about what Brexit means for the world. Some are concerned with the political and economic consequences. Some opine that it will be good for Israel and some assert the exact opposite.
 
Breaking Israel News investigated whether there are prophetic implications in the UK's decision to exit the European Union.
 
One widely proposed opinion is that Brexit is a perfect expression of God's Divine justice. The Jewish concept of middah kneged middah (measure for measure) is a theological understanding of the way God dispenses perfect justice. In this case, the European Union has been attempting to dismantle Israel by supporting Israel's enemies. According to the principle of middah kneged middah, the Godly punishment is that the EU itself is now beginning to unravel.
 
Others have suggested that, as redemption nears, God is fulfilling the words of Genesis 12:3, settling scores with nations that have mistreated the Jewish people.
 
And I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse. Genesis 12:3
 
In that context, the consequences of Brexit can be seen as God beginning to curse the British nation for their historical actions against His Chosen People. For example, as is well-known, in the 1930s and 1940s, the British, who had political dominion over the Land of Israel, cooperated with the Arabs of Palestine against the Jews. Today, the consistent anti-Israel bias of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is well-documented.
 
The strongest connection being made between Brexit and redemption comes from End of Days expert Rabbi Pinchas Winston who sees Brexit as "yet another crack in the dam" that holds absolute chaos back.
 
"We know that chaos is an underlying force within Creation, a historical undercurrent. It is the stage on which history is acted out," Rabbi Winston told Breaking Israel News.
 
"Humans use our free will to bring order to chaos. That's how we earn reward in the World to Come." Using free will, humankind once had the potential to bring in messianic era peacefully, Rabbi Winston explained.
 
However, the opportunity to do so has passed. Since we failed to use our free will to escort humanity into redemption in a peaceful, orderly way, it is chaos that will introduce the Messianic era. 
 
Rabbi Winston quoted the Talmudic idea that "God made a condition with Creation. If the Jews kept the Torah, chaos will be kept under wraps," but if not, the world will revert to a state of turbulence, as it was before Creation.
 
"Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters." (Genesis 1:2)
 
The worldwide instability that Brexit is expected to introduce is, according to Rabbi Winston another "crack in the dam." Brexit is an example of how chaos is running amok in the world and "healing won't come until the Messianic age comes."
 
Looking to the situation in the US, Rabbi Winston commented to Breaking Israel News that President Obama is "leaving the world in way more chaos than [former President] Bush did. He has sped up messianism by leaving the world far more chaotic [than when he entered office]."
 
Finally, 2016 is the 100th anniversary of the Sykes-Pico agreement between the UK and France. This secret agreement gave Britain dominion over the Land of Israel. Asked whether this anniversary is related to Brexit, Rabbi Winston said, "It's no coincidence. [This anniversary] makes us realize that [Brexit] is part of an ongoing historical process. We don't believe in random events. In addition, the number 100 is very significant in Kabbalah (Judaism's mystical tradition)."
 
 
Britain, Europe and the Prophet Daniel - By Bobby Blanton - http://raptureready.com/soap2/blanton7.html
 
This week we have been watching the developing story and breaking news of Britain's vote and decision to exit the European Union. There have been many convulsions as a result and there will be many more in the days ahead. 
 
The Brexit aftershocks have sent global markets tumbling and 2.8 trillion dollars was wiped out on Friday that represented the biggest daily stock market loss in world history. In the wake, central banks across the world have offered the financial system fresh funds and intervened in currency markets, in an effort to reassure investors sent into panic by the U.K.'s vote to leave.
 
Voters in France, Italy and the Netherlands didn't waste any time, and are now demanding their own votes on European Union membership, as the continent faces a new wave of referendums.
 
EU leaders fearing a string of copycat polls that could tear the Union apart, are exercising their power and said that Europe could not accept a political vacuum and that "this will not be business as usual." They have demanded Britain invoke Article 50 to trigger the legal mechanism to leave, appoint a new Prime Minister and then exit the EU urgently.
 
ISIS, already a present evil throughout the world, has renewed calls for attacks in Berlin and Brussels in order to "paralyze" Europe in the wake of the historic Brexit vote.
 
There are many leaders now calling for immediate change and a 'New Europe', and just yesterday the foreign ministers of France and Germany proposed a blueprint for creating a "European superstate" which will divide and limit the powers of individual members following Britain's decision to leave the EU.
 
Britain's exit from Europe is a significant sign and is huge news prophetically speaking. The prophet Daniel saw this all unfolding in the last days, as he interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's dream and the division of Europe. And it is this one last prophecy that describes the final empire, which turns out to be the most important of all for a full understanding of the last days.
 
 "And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others."
 
Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay."
 
And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile."
 
 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay." (Daniel 2: 40-43)
 
In Daniel's description of the image he said that the last world empire would be further divided into ten "toes."  According to the symbolism of Nebuchadnezzar's image, the fourth power to arise upon the earth would undergo further divisions that would ultimately make it a fragmented power consisting of "partly strong and partly broken" components.  The strong legs of iron which at first subdued the world with great strength would become feet and toes of softened texture, the iron would become weakened by the presence of "miry clay."
 
In the vision he also saw and wrote of a coming world leader, who will emerge out of the chaos, division and realignment of Europe to form this final empire. The Bible calls him the Antichrist that will devour the whole world.
 
Daniel seems to be keenly interested in every detail, almost as if he somehow knew that a proper description would be very important to those people who would live to experience the end of the age. He also says that this empire would be extremely powerful, just like the legs of iron which characterize the image. It would devour everything in its path and crush the world under the power of its conquering feet.
 
Daniel after being given this vision, was told to "seal up the vision for it refers to many days in the future" (Daniel 8:26).
 
There are two books, Daniel and Revelation, that the Christian must have a fundamental understanding of, in order to discern and know the meaning of the prophecies of the days in which we live. Have you studied these books? Do you have a biblical understanding of them as they relate to the many events that are coming to pass? Do you even care to know? 
 
The apostle John in the book of Revelation was told, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near" (Revelation 22:10) That's us folks!
 
The final empire is forming before our very eyes!
 
While the world is grasping for answers, we have a faith that God has foretold and written of, that we would see these unfolding events, discern them, understand them and then prepare for what we  know is coming. Remember Daniel warned us of a terrible time ahead for the entire world! But he also provides wonderful hope for those who submit their lives to God.
 
"And that, knowing the time, now it is high time to awake out of your sleep" (Romans 13:11).

Brexit, the EU, and the Transatlantic Money Matrix - By Paul McGuire - http://www.newswithviews.com/McGuire/paul285.htm

Great Britain voted to leave the European Union according to what is called the "Brexit vote." The corporate controlled media in the U.S. and the EU are chanting the mantra "The middle class are revolting against the elites." Clearly, the voice of the working class, middle class, and what Bilderberg calls the "Precariat" class has not been completely silenced, if people are questioning things like trade treaties, the European Union, and a global economic system.
 
Super-billionaires like George Soros and Jacob Rothschild have been issuing ominous warnings about the Brexit, suggesting that the standard of living in the UK would crash and global economic and social chaos is on the horizon. Yet George Soros, like the rest of the elite, knew what was going to happen and apparently he quietly bet against the markets and invested heavily in gold. In addition, Eric Sprott, James Turk, and George Soros invested in a company that moves the world into a cashless society by advancing the digital payments revolution, where you can spend gold with a pre-paid-card globally.
 
Christine LaGarde, head of the IMF, warned of very serious negative consequences if Britain votes to leave the EU. Back in 2014 LaGarde talked about a global reset, or global reboot of the world's financial system. When she made this announcement to the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Press Club, she used over half of her speech making references to occult numerology and symbols. Is the British Brexit a true revolt by the middle class, or is it a strategic manufactured crisis? After all, the motto of the Illuminati is "Order Out of Chaos" or "New World Order Out of Chaos."
 
It does not appear that the IMF has specifically settled on any single nation's currency to be the world's currency, but rather, SDR's (Special Drawing Rights), which refers to a basket of currencies. But it is worth noting that China has been buying massive quantities of gold and 40 central banks have invested in the Chinese Yuan. Russia is also buying massive quantities of gold.
 
If we look at the Bible as an accurate historical document, as well as a book that contains supernatural prophecies of the future, we see a number of things regarding Great Britain, Europe, and very possibly America. In the Old Testament the "daughter of Babylon" is referenced over 200 times; it may well refer to the Canaanites and Phoenicians and all those who eventually were based in Tarshish. Many Bible scholars believe that ancient Tarshish was Great Britain. Tarshish or Great Britain plays a significant role in Bible prophecy.
 
The Old Testament prophet Daniel became the chief spiritual advisor to King Nebuchadnezzar because of his supernatural ability to interpret the King of Babylon's dreams. Daniel interpreted a dream of the four great Gentile World Empires, in the form of a giant statue, with a head of gold. The first kingdom represented Babylon and the final empire was the revived Roman Empire, which was represented by ten toes mixed with iron and clay, representing its fragility.
 
Many scholars believe that this revived Roman Empire refers to the European Union, which would include Great Britain, historically known as Tarshish. Ancient England was known for its importing and exporting of tin. When the Bible refers to the "young lions of Tarshish," this refers to the colonies of the British Empire such as America, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.
 
Many scholars believe that the European Union along with Great Britain and its colonies constitute the revived Roman Empire. The current exit of Great Britain from the European Union, called the "Brexit," is in many respects a theatrical event designed by the City of London, which is the powerful international banking center where people like the Rothschild's have their headquarters, and it is directly linked to Wall Street in America.
 
This Transatlantic Union of international banking families, multi-national banks, and major financial institutions connects Wall Street and the Federal Reserve with the City of London and the institutions like the IMF, the World Bank, G8, G20, Davos, and the Bilderberg Group, and international banking families like the Rockefellers, and with the Council on Foreign Relations, United Nations, and the Tri-Lateral Commission.
 
All of the world's four great Gentile empires were raised up in defiance against God and created their own global governments, global religions, and global economic systems. The foundation of all these systems is built upon the raising up of a Luciferian or occult religious system, a Luciferian or occult economic system and a global government to enforce their implementation. The current revived Roman Empire, which is the one world government, one world religion and one world economic system, is not going to derail due to any Brexit vote.
 
A cosmic chess game is being played between Satan and God, with men, women, demons, principalities, and powers and the world's elite functioning as pawns, rooks, knights, kings, and queens. The game of chess represents the multi-dimensional reality of life and geopolitics. The CERN Hadron Collider accelerates sub-atomic particles in long tunnels constructed beneath the surface of the Earth in an effort to open up what amounts to an interdimensional portal. Dr. Mike Lamont, a scientist and director of the LHC, or Large Hadron Collider, warned, "Something may come through the dimensional doors at LHC."
 
As I write in my book A Prophecy of the Future of America 2016 - 2017, the real purpose behind CERN is to create an interdimensional portal or Stargate which, when combined with occult, even Satanic worship rituals, allows for the "something," which may come through the CERN Hadron Collider, and it may very well be an interdimensional entity or demon. If that sounds far-fetched remember that according to the Genesis account, the Tower of Babel was an interdimensional portal or Stargate based on highly advanced occult-technology or what some theologians call "fallen angel technology." The actual root word for Babel, or Babylon, or the Tower of Babel means the "gate of the gods." According to the extensive documentation in The Babylon Code, which I wrote with my co-author Troy Anderson, a Pulitzer Prize nominated journalist, the Tower of Babel was occult technology passed on from super-civilizations like Atlantis, which existed before the Flood of Noah.
 
There is a statue of the Goddess Shiva, which means the "Destroyer of Worlds," in front of the CERN headquarters. This same stature of Shiva, "The Destroyer of World's," was displayed at the Bohemian Grove and near the Trinity atomic bomb site, where Dr. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the "Manhattan Project" and others decided to build and drop the atomic bomb on Japan at the Bohemian Grove.
 
Recently, the opening ceremony of the world's largest tunnel was a blatant occult ritual. Some of the most powerful people in Europe participated in the opening ceremony of the Gotthard Base Tunnel in Switzerland. The occult elite in Europe gathered to participate in an openly satanic ritual. The Gotthard Base Tunnel is the world's largest and most expensive tunnel in history, over 57 km long and costing 11 billion euros. The tunnel cuts through the Swiss Alps and is supposed to be a symbol of European unification, in contrast to rising nationalism and closing borders.
 
The elaborate ceremony in front of European dignitaries resembled satanic rituals where a man dressed like a goat presided over the ritual. Men and women workers were sent marching into the tunnel while another group of young people in white underwear begin to grope each other sexually. At the exterior of the tunnel there was a large all-seeing eye of Lucifer and a simulated (we hope) human sacrifice.
 
According to our extensive research, the Genesis account of the Tower of Babel built by Nimrod was a warning from God to Mankind about the satanic dangers of the Tower of Babel. God judged ancient Babylon because it was the first trial run at a "New World Order," which was an attempt to build a new global planetary order, a counterfeit of the Kingdom of God.
 
The Creator God originally created a man and woman to live in a kind of Heaven on Earth, a Utopia called the Garden of Eden, until Satan tempted Adam and Eve to disobey the Word of God, and the Fall of Man occurred which activated the law of sin and death. At that time, Satan (Lucifer) had already led a revolution against God with one third of the angels in attempt to overthrow the Throne Room of God and be worshipped as God in the rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem. Through Adam's and Eve's sin, Satan became the temporary lord of this world system, also known as Mammon.
 
ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF THE BREXIT
 
It would be highly naive not to assume that the Brexit was orchestrated by the elite for the benefit of the elite. This is despite the fact that the world's 400 richest people lost $127.4 billion the day Britain voted to leave the European Union; the combined loss of certain billionaires totaled $3.9 trillion. It must be remembered that George Soros and many other billionaires made countless billions in profit by transferring their assets to gold. The Transatlantic Union and Transatlantic Matrix is the biggest and most profitable business in the world, which is manufacturing global illusion and virtual reality. The core financial mechanism, which has been driving the global financial system from the Tower of Babel until today, is a Luciferian system based on sorcery and printing money from nothing! The Federal Reserve and the central banks print money from nothing and then loan it to the governments and the people for interest in what is called a debt-based-slavery system.
 
What's required is that the masses who live in this Scientific Dictatorship embrace their scientifically induced trance state and learn to love their slavery, as Aldous Huxley said. From ancient Babylon through the Pharaoh-god-king system of Egypt, to the "divine right of kings of Europe," the Illuminati-based occult and magical system of money is based on the masses believing that each unit of money has some kind of magical or intrinsic worth. This is why Sir Arthur C. Clarke, who wrote 2001: A Space Odyssey, stated "Science is magic." It is also the reason 2001 director Stanley Kubrick displayed black obelisks which gave Man advanced knowledge through a process of Alchemical Magic and why in the final scenes of the movie Kubrick shows a black obelisk floating through space and a man becomes a "star child."
 
I recently was interviewing Dr. Werner, who I call the "Father of Quantitative Easing," who was in Japan during their financial crisis during the 1990s. The Japanese financial crisis was about to go into a full blown global financial meltdown. Dr. Werner developed Quantitative Easing as a means of protecting the global financial system. During the 2007 mortgage/financial crisis, which was developing into a global financial meltdown, Dr. Werner strongly warned many of the heads of the Federal Reserve and the heads of the central banks of Europe that the global financial system was going into meltdown. Ben Bernanke, the head of the Fed, observed how Dr. Werner prevented the Japanese crisis from becoming global.
 
Bernanke followed Dr. Werner's financial strategy which he distinguishes as distinct from simply printing dollars or money from nothing, by distinguishing between central banks like the Federal Reserve Banks, and other kinds of financial institutions. I pressed Dr. Werner on this distinction and Werner fully admitted that the central banks create money from nothing, which is an illusory system.   
 
The Bank of England is pumping billions of pounds into the financial system, while the European Central Bank said it will give banks all the funding they require. The Federal Reserve said it was "carefully monitoring" financial markets. This is simply code meaning they are not going to tell you what they are really doing. A big clue has been revealed in the fact that members of the European elite in France and Germany are planning to issue an "ultimatum" to all nations in the European Union, which will offer up radical proposals that EU countries will lose the right to have their own army, criminal law, taxation system or Central Bank, with all these powers transferred to Brussels. In short, an all-powerful European Superstate will emerge.
 
Interestingly, this fits precisely into Bible prophecy and a Revived Roman Empire. But, it all sends a powerful signal about what may be going on behind closed doors in America, where our individual Constitution and Bill of Rights, may be in danger to a North American Union Superstate.

BREXIT: The Biblical Perspective for the UK, US and EU - by Bill Salus - http://www.prophecydepotministries.net/2016/brexit-the-biblical-perspective-for-the-uk-us-and-eu/
 
On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom voted to end 43 years of European Union membership. This prompted UK Prime Minister David Cameron to resign, effective in October, from his political post and removed London from the EU, which was its largest city. Immediately, Britain's exit created global shockwaves! Some of the initial headlines are below.
 
"The Brexit contagion: How France, Italy and the Netherlands now want their referendum too"  (The Telegraph - 6/24/16)
 
"This is the worst,' Greenspan (Former Fed Reserve Chairman) says it's the tip of the iceberg" (CNBC News 6/24/16)
 
"Europe will fall very soon" (Daily Mail - 6/24/16)
 
"How Britain was broken and what it means for America" (Vanity Fair - 6/26/16)
 
The bottom two headlines about the fall of Europe and what this means for America are among the subjects of this article. How Brexit argues against the Islamic Antichrist is also explained.

 BREXIT AND AMERICA

"Five reasons Brexit could signal Trump winning the White House" (BBC - 6/20/16)
 
In the immediate aftermath of Britain's EU exit the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump promptly posted the following comments;
 
"The people of the United Kingdom have exercised the sacred right of all free peoples. They have declared their independence from the European Union and have voted to reassert control over their own politics, borders and economy. A Trump Administration pledges to strengthen our ties with a free and independent Britain, deepening our bonds in commerce, culture and mutual defense. The whole world is more peaceful and stable when our two countries - and our two peoples - are united together, as they will be under a Trump Administration."
 
Without realizing it, Donald Trump has alerted Americans to their potential prophetic union with the Brits in Ezekiel 38:13. The verse identifies four populations that seem to be protesting the Middle East invasion described in Ezekiel 38 and 39. This prophecy finds fulfillment in the last days and some of today's top Bible teachers believe that the foretelling is soon to happen.
 
"Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, 'Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?" (Ezekiel 38:13)[i]
 
The general consensus among some Bible prophecy experts is that these four groups consist of Sheba, (Yemen), Dedan, (Saudi Arabia), the merchants of Tarshish, (UK), and their young lions, (USA). These are the modern day equivalents of the countries that I believe Ezekiel was alluding to about 2600 years ago when he listed them in the vocabulary of his time. My research on these national identities is provided in The NOW Prophecies book, in the chapter entitled, "Is America in Ezekiel 38?"
 
In this scenario, "the merchants of Tarshish" appear to represent the British Isles and not the EU (Roman Empire) at large. Therefore, the UK departure from the EU aligns perfectly with Ezekiel 38:13. From the prophetic perspective, I thoroughly expected this Brexit result.

 BREXIT AND THE EU
 ..................................
 
"Merkel warns against knee jerk reaction to Brexit" (Yahoo News - 6/24/16)
 
German Chancellor Angela Merkel promptly warned EU member states against drawing hasty conclusions about Britain's decision to quit the bloc, as that risked further splitting Europe. Bible prophecy buffs should follow this same sound advice.
 
The initial knee jerk tendency from the prophetic perspective is to turn away from the teaching that the EU represents the "Revived Roman Empire," which is predicted in Daniel chapters 2 and 7. The concern is that, with the departure of the UK and whatever other nations may follow, the EU will not emerge into this revived robust empire. According to traditional teaching, the Antichrist arises out of the revived Roman Empire.
 
"And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah (Jesus Christ at His 1st coming) shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince (Antichrist) who is to come Shall destroy the city (Jerusalem) and the sanctuary (2nd Jewish Temple). The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined." (Daniel 9:26; emphasis added)
 
The Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the second Jewish temple around 70 A.D. As such, the most widely accepted interpretation is that the Roman Empire will revive as per Daniel 2 and 7 and the Antichrist will emerge at that time and be of European descent as per Daniel 9.
 
Brexit actually reinforces the concept of a Revived Roman Empire, when you understand Ezekiel 38:13 in correlation with the timing of the emergence of this crazed charismatic world leader. The ANTICHRIST ARISES AFTER EZEKIEL 38 and several other globally impacting biblical foretellings. The sequence of significant prophetic events is most likely as follows.
 
These events are explained in The Now Prophecies book.
 
1. Jeremiah 49:34-39, the Elam prophecy about the potentially nuclear disaster in Iran,
 2. Isaiah 17 & Jeremiah 49:23-27, the destruction of Damascus,
 3. Jeremiah 49:1-6 and Zephaniah 2:8-9, the trembling and toppling of Jordan,
 4. Isaiah 19:1-18, the terrorization of Egypt,
 5. Psalm 83, the concluding Arab-Israeli war,
 6. The rebuilding of, or ground breaking for, the third Jewish temple,
 7. Obadiah 1:19-20, Jeremiah 49:2 and Zephaniah 2:9, the expansion of Israel,
 8. Ezekiel 37:10, 25:14, Obadiah 1:18, the rise of the exceedingly great Israeli army,
 9. Ezekiel 38:11, the safer Israel that dwells without partition walls and security fences,
 10. Ezekiel 38:13, the wealthier Israel in receipt of great plunder and booty,
 11. 1 Corinthians 15:51-53 and 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18, the Rapture of the Church,
 12. Ezekiel 38:13, the decline of the UK and USA. (The Now Prophecies book explores the possibility that America represents the "young lions" in this verse).
 13. Daniel chapters 2, 7 and 9 concerning the Revived Roman Empire and revealing of the Antichrist.
 
This list above does not include every end time's prophecy, but it does identify about a dozen epic events that should precede the revival of the Roman Empire and the arising of the Antichrist.
 
..........................................................................
 THE ROMAN EMPIRE REVIVES OUT OF CHAOS
 ..........................................................................
 
The original intentions of Europe to form into a successful union modeled after the United States of America was a noble endeavor, but an extremely difficult proposition to put in place. As good as the idea sounded, the experiment hasn't worked out well as evidenced by Brexit. The European nations have different languages, economies, histories of conflicts and many more diversities. Attempting to bridge these divides is like cramming a square peg into a round whole, or mixing oil with water.
 
Conversely, the USA was birthed in unity, it was not an afterthought filled with cultural complexities and seemingly unsurmountable hurdles. We were built up as one nation under God, with liberty, justice and freedom for all.
 
The point is that the Revived Roman Empire results OUT of NECESSITY, not out of noble intentions! Ask yourself the question, what will the condition of the world have to be in order for a one world leader to emerge, for all the nations of the world to surrender their sovereignty, their currencies and their armies?
 
As the list of episodes above finds fulfillment, the world will be in a state of chaos. The nations will be clamoring for some semblance of stability. Europe will likely be one of the places less adversely affected by these prophecies. As such, it will be perfectly positioned to create some form of a global government, which a chaotic world will invite and embrace. Daniel 7:23-25 and Revelation 17:12-16 predict the emergence of a world order that ultimately divides into a ten division state, which is governed by ten kings having allegiance with the Antichrist.
 
.................................................................................
 BREXIT ARGUES AGAINST THE ISLAMIC ANTICHRIST
 .................................................................................
 
Over the past decade a new theory has emerged that the Antichrist will be a Muslim, probably from Assyria or Turkey, rather than a European from the Revived Roman Empire. Britain's exit from the EU should initially excite the advocates of this theory. They can suggest that an Antichrist of European descent now seems less likely.
 
There exists a plethora of problems with the Islamic Antichrist theory and a good read on the subject is a book authored by Dr. David Reagan called, The Man of Lawlessness: The Antichrist in the Tribulation. Dr. Reagan, along with myself and many others interviewed inside of his book, reject the Islamic Antichrist theory.
 
In my estimation, Brexit also argues against the Muslim Antichrist theory when you align the coming Middle East war prophecies chronologically. As identified previously, Psalm 83 is followed by Ezekiel 38, which is followed by the Revived Roman Empire and the emergence of the Antichrist.
 
Psalm 83 is the concluding Arab-Israeli war. This future final conflict involves an "inner circle" of the predominately Muslim nations that mostly share common borders with Israel. The Psalm 83:6-8 confederates consist of ten members, none of which are listed in Ezekiel 38. Ezekiel 38 consists of an "outer ring" of nine populations, which apart from Russia, are also predominately Muslim.
 
After these two wars conclude and these nineteen mostly Muslim armies are soundly defeated, Islam will be almost decimated. By the time the Antichrist arrives, Islam should be a severely compromised and generally unappealing religion. I teach that Psalm 83 is a punch to the gut of Islam, Ezekiel 38 is an uppercut to its jaw and by the time the Antichrist arises, Islam is essentially knocked down to the canvas for the ten count, never to recover again!
 
If Britain's exit from the EU paves the way for the UK to be the "merchants of Tarshish" in Ezekiel 38:13, and after Islam is adversely affected in Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38, then it is safe to suggest that Brexit argues against the possibility that the Antichrist will be a Muslim.

Will The Recent Shakeup of the of the European Union Ultimately Push NATO to the Forefront of World Affairs?? - A.V. Rauf -
http://bibleprophecyfortoday.com/2016/06/27/will-the-recent-shakeup-of-the-of-the-european-union-ultimately-push-nato-to-the-forefront-of-world-affairs/
 
 Daniel 2:28-45-Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king.  But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass. But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart. Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass.  His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.  This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
 
When it comes to Bible prophecy and 'last days' eschatology,  many Bible prophecy teachers have often alluded to the European Union as the central theme what would be the final world empire that exists prior to the return of the Lord.
 
Just this past week, in a stunning move that no one saw coming, Great Britain said "NO" to staying in the EU by a BREXIT vote margin of 52% to 48%. The common people of Great Britain have boldly declared in this referendum result that they prefer British sovereignty over rule by a central, unelected European bureaucracy that dictates from Brussels. I must say that the sovereignty of God cannot be overlooked regarding this matter.
 
Currently, the EU is saddled with economic and Muslim migration crises. Could it be that the current Muslim immigration may the agent for a major shift in Europe. Are beginning to see the signs of a future split in Europe, even states within states, separating between sheep and goat nations.
 
With the sudden departure of Great Britain, it can be said that France and Germany are now the two pillars of the European Union. However, if other countries (i. e. Scotland) in Europe follow Great Britain who will fill the void of their departure? If France decides to distance itself, this may force Germany to seek another pillar. Could this other pillar be Turkey??
 
Daniel 2:21-And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
 
Psalm 75:7-But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
 
Another important point that I would like to mention is that the European Union has never been a military force. And the dominant theme in last days prophecy of the 70th Week is one of a final world-dominating empire of the Antichrist wielding overwhelming military power. I believe that this is where NATO enters the equation.
 
What you see happening in Europe could heading America's way, because we promote the same sins and rebellion.
 
Isaiah 40:15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
 
Exciting times are ahead indeed. Many think that what has happened may have set back the prophetic timetable of end time events. I am of the unction that if anything, it may have accelerated the prophetic clock.
 
Look up for our redemption draweth Nigh!
 
The United States of Europe: Germany and France Hatch a Plan to Create an EU Superstate - By Michael Snyder - http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/the-united-states-of-europe-germany-and-france-hatch-a-plan-to-create-an-eu-superstate
 
If you believe that the Brexit vote is going to kill the idea of a "United States of Europe", you might want to think again.  In fact, it appears that the decision by the British people to leave the European Union is only going to accelerate the process of creating an EU superstate.  As you will see below, one of the largest newspapers in the UK is reporting that the foreign ministers of France and Germany have drafted "a blueprint to effectively do away with individual member states".  So even though men like George Soros are warning that the eventual dissolution of the European Union is "practically irreversible" after the Brexit vote, the truth is that the globalists are not about to give up so easily.
 
For a very long time, advocates of increased European integration have dreamed of going all the way and creating a true "United States of Europe", but Britain was always one of the stumbling blocks that stood in the way.
 
But now that Britain is out and there is great fear that the entire European project may be in jeopardy, there seems to be a rush to go for broke and try to complete the job of European integration.  The Express is one of the biggest news organizations in the UK, and they are reporting that the foreign ministers of France and Germany already have a blueprint "to effectively do away with individual member states"...
 
The foreign ministers of France and Germany are due to reveal a blueprint to effectively do away with individual member states in what is being described as an "ultimatum".
 
Under the radical proposals EU countries will lose the right to have their own army, criminal law, taxation system or central bank, with all those powers being transferred to Brussels.
 
Controversially member states would also lose what few controls they have left over their own borders, including the procedure for admitting and relocating refugees.
 
When I read that earlier today I was absolutely stunned.
 
Did they come up with this blueprint before the Brexit vote or after?
 
And do they plan to allow the citizens of individual nations to vote on any of this?
 
It is being reported that the following paragraph comes from the preamble to the document...
 
"Our countries share a common destiny and a common set of values that give rise to an even closer union between our citizens. We will therefore strive for a political union in Europe and invite the next Europeans to participate in this venture."
 
Of course it would have been totally unrealistic to expect backers of European integration to go down without a fight.  After all, what did we expect them to do - throw up their hands and admit that the British people are right and that the European Union is a failure?
 
No, that was never going to happen.
 
As I mentioned in the other article that I published today, the elite are going to make the British people pay for what they have done.  The British pound has already been smashed, British stocks are getting pounded, and the UK economy is going to suffer greatly.  In addition, the British people are being inundated by mainstream news stories telling them what a horrible mistake they made.
 
And as the crisis in Europe gets progressively worse, the "solution" that will be heralded by mainstream news organizations will be increased European integration.  In fact, this is something that CNN is already promoting...
 
 
The elite are desperate to rescue a European project that is considered to be "dying" in the eyes of many.  For example, Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman just compared what is happening in Europe right now to the collapse of the Soviet Union...
 
The upheaval in the U.K. after its Brexit referendum in favor of leaving the European Union has similarities to the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman.
 
While it's "unreasonable to draw direct parallels," it's obvious that the U.K. is going through a "turbulent, confusing and unpredictable period," Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call Monday. Russia "has gone through the collapse of the Soviet Union and many generations clearly remember the period of the Soviet collapse, that period of uncertainty."
 
So those that are in favor of European integration are in full damage control mode at this point.  Just today, there was a report in the Daily Mail about how German Chancellor Angela Merkel is telling people that it is vital to keep any other members of the European Union from leaving...
 
Mrs Merkel said the EU needs to stop other countries following Britain out of the door amid market fears that the bloc is 'no longer governable' after Brexit.
 
The German Chancellor told her conservative party board in a conference call that it was necessary to prevent other European Union members going down the same path as Britain.
 
Merkel is also said to have revealed that international financial markets are concerned the EU is 'no longer governable' in the wake of Britain's exit vote.
 
The elitists that run the EU don't really care about the will of the people, and they will work very hard to prevent more referendums from being held.  In an age of "democracy", the EU is one of the most undemocratic political institutions in the entire western world.  I know, because I studied EU law when I was in law school.
 
If you have any doubt about this, just check out this recent quote from European Parliament President Martin Schultz...
 
"The British have violated the rules. It is not the EU philosophy that the crowd can decide its fate".
 
Say what?
 
In the short-term, it is entirely possible that we could see more nations leave the EU.  I would watch Greece in particular.
 
But in the long-term, we will see a major push for more European integration.  Germany and France will be at the core of this movement, and other European nations will join them.
 
The British people may not participate any time soon, but the dream of a United States of Europe is far from dead.
 
And if the advocates of increased European integration have their way, we will be seeing their dream become a reality sooner rather than later.

Brexit and God's Declaration of Independence - Terry James - http://raptureready.com/terry/book36.html
 
With the Fourth of July soon to be upon us and American independence under assault by the globalist minions, the Brexit, as it is termed, interjects most spectacular prophetic prospects into the end times equation.
 
Satanic forces-the principalities and powers of Ephesians 6:12-have in recent days been moving the U.S. toward European style socialism and humanism at break-neck speed. It is amazing, really, to think of the duality of methodology employed by the Luciferic orchestration.
 
While America is pushed forcefully by the progressive political architects toward that European model, the European Union at the same time is in some ways being hammered into the shape of the U.S. federal prototype.
 
Now, the process is suddenly put on hold-a pause because of the gut-punch all those globalist gurus absorbed with the vote of the British people. -Saying "no" to staying in the EU by a vote margin of 52% to 48%. 
 
The people have declared in this totally unexpected referendum result that they prefer British sovereignty over rule by a central, unelected European bureaucracy dictating from Brussels. The huffing and puffing from that punch has the new world order types bellowing in great pain and issuing threats of ramifications that will now befall the British people and the rest of the world.
 
Presidential candidate Donald Trump, who sort of predicted this would be the actions by the Brits, rather modestly, I thought, reacted in an un-Trump-like way to his seemingly prescient prediction coming to pass. "People are just fed up with politicians lording it over them," was his tone in reacting to the results, by the way I viewed it. Nothing more complicated than that...
 
One thing sure, other politicians-Trump's foes-as of this writing-are still getting up from their knees after the punch. Both Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton were soundly rejected in their, as usual, over-bearing warnings to the people of Great Britain if they chose the route they ultimately chose-to pull out of the European Union.
 
Pundits on the side of sovereignty, of secure borders to staunch the flow of unchecked immigration-of a sane policy in the matter of national autonomy-believe the EU to now be unraveling, coming apart at the seams. It is conjectured that the EU will now dissolve and become less of a threat to engender dangerous developments perpetrated by a central governing authority upon the entire western hemisphere.
 
On the Bible prophecy front, many are saying Brexit greatly sets back the development of the reviving Roman Empire, that geopolitical entity that must form before Christ's return. Franklin Graham, Dr. Billy Graham's son and head of Samaritan's Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, is one who has stated that the development of this prophecy seems to have been greatly hampered. 
 
He said: "We don't know what the EU Referendum vote means long-term, but I know that this is at least a temporary setback for the politicians in this country and around the world who want a one-world government and a one-world currency. The Bible speaks that one day this will take place..." 
 
I'm of the opinion, however, that it is a mistake in perception to believe things taking place in the British exit from the EU spells a postponement, or even a slowdown in prophetic progression. On the contrary, the jolting rearrangements occurring at present, I believe, are likely putting Bible prophecy on the fast-track to fulfillment. The dynamics are not putting the Antichrist incubator in a comatose condition, rather are actually putting the smelling salt under the European nostrils-actually speeding up the reviving of the Roman Empire. My thinking in this regard is based upon the other Bible prophecy developments observable in every direction upon the end times landscape.
 
Economic problems are building on a world-wide basis. All monetary matters are intricately linked. One economic movement in any part of the world creates ripples that threaten to bring the whole system crashing down. Yet the bubble hasn't burst. An unseen force is without question, to this observer, holding back the flood of fiscal destructiveness.
 
War is straining to breakout in so many places and at so many levels around the globe that the world could explode at any moment from the slightest miscalculation. Russia is on edge, agitating with military maneuverings that threatens Soviet-style aggression. China is seeking to shut down freedom of the seas with its island building and harassment of U.S. naval forces. North Korea sends missiles in test firings that obviously are meant to intimidate its neighbors, while selling its offensive military technology to Iran and other diabolist nations. Iran continues with its nuclear weapons program while shaking its angry Islamist fist in the face of America. Israel continues to be the target for destruction for all of its terrorist-spawning neighbors. Yet the unseen force holds back man's final thrust into all-out warfare.
 
So, it is reasonable to consider that the Brexit is but one more example of the unseen force exerting influence over developments in prophetic progression. It all means, I think, that the progression is speeding up, not slowing down.
 
In thinking on America's independence on this Fourth of July, and considering the British decision to take back its independence from the liberty-restricting European Union masters, it is good to realize one thing more.
 
The God of Heaven, in holding all of these planetary power players in check is declaring His own Independence as the Person who will have the last word on the final disposition of His creation.
 
It is He, alone, who will bring man's foolish, rebellious plans for one world order crashing down.
 
I'm convinced that it is the Rapture of the Church that will begin that crash. It could happen today!
