For centuries Christians have prayed Matthew 6:10: Thy kingdom come.
During the Tribulation hour, the 144,000 Jewish evangelists of
Revelation 7:3-8 will preach the gospel of the kingdom-the good news
that the King is about to return. Can you hear them shouting this
exciting information in the streets? "The King is coming! The King is
coming!" Finally the King is seen returning in chapter 11, verse 15,
and chapter 19, verse 16, and this event of the ages takes place when
a final confederation of ten Western nations has been established upon
earth. Could the present European Union be a part of this picture? I
believe it could be! Oh, Jesus is coming soon!
At this point we need to consider another extremely important fact.
Ireland and Denmark-present Common Market members-were never part of
the old Roman Empire. This apparent problem, however, is quickly
resolved when one considers the information presented in Daniel,
chapter 7. Here we discover that, following the establishment of a
ten-nation confederacy, another world leader arises. He takes control,
ousts three nations, and replaces them with two others and his own.
Specifically, Daniel says, I considered the horns [ten of them], and,
behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom
there were three of the first horns [original members] plucked up by
the roots (7:8). This coincides perfectly with Revelation 13:5.
Daniel continues in verses 24 and 25: And the ten horns out of this
kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after
them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue
three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High.
Here we not only see the world leader overpowering three kings and
replacing them with original members of the old Roman Empire-we also
observe him fulfilling the prediction of blasphemy described in our
text.
There is no doubt about it. A confederacy of ten Western nations will
be formed. Then another leader will appear, remove three nations,
replace them, and rule as the Antichrist until the King of kings
returns to earth and destroys his evil empire. Thus, the Common Market
will grow to thirteen nations, and these thirteen could eventually
control all nations and finally be reduced to ten at the end when this
ten-toed, ten-horned confederacy is destroyed. This is the event
described by Daniel as a stone cut out without hands [breaking] in
pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold.
