Europe in the Endtime

[Brother Bob]

I want to post some pictures that are very sobering. Could Europe be the endtime Babylon? I've always seen Babylon as the entire antichristian world system as opposed to one nation or entity like the EU.

It is alarming for me to see so many Christians beginning to believe that America is the Babylon of Revelation. There is also sound exegesis fo support Babylon as the symbol for false religion. Maybe we shouldn't make too much of these pics but ...it is what it is.

Europe's part in the End Times

We are living in the days of the last Kingdom as prophesied by Daniel in Chapter2:31-33

31 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.
32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.

We know the legs of Iron was the Roman Empire and the mixture of Iron and clay in the feet represent a collaboration between the last of the Roman Empire in the form of the Catholic Church and Europe. By the Middle Ages Germanic Europe was known as the Holy Roman Empire and was dominated by what were called Prince Bishops, so that it was both a spiritual and a political power. Neither of those powers died, but today both have passed into the European Union through the 1957 Treaty of Rome.

Today Europe is setting itself up in direct opposition to God. Already we know the trouble the Church is having in France, Germany and Belgium. The Berlin Declaration in 1908 started the opposition to Christianity by declaring everything to do with the Holy Spirit was of the Devil, thus committing the unpardonable sin.

With the first world war Germany slipped into depression during the 20's and 30's with the collapse of the bank bringing economic disaster. Germany and Old Europe was in turmoil but the time was right for the rise of a leader who would bring order to chaos and deliver them from their depression. This was to be HITLER, backed by the Church his rise was phenomenal. His anti-Semitic vales was born from the church at the time and his rise and rule was a type of Anti-Christ. He too will rise from a time of turmoil and depression, when people call out for a leader of vision and power, also backed by the Church. What does this have to do with Europe?

Europe is setting it self up in direct opposition to God. It is slowly changing laws to squeeze the Christian church out, and it makes no secret of this. To encourage support for the EU, the Council of Europe published a poster identifying Europe with the rebuilding of Babel!


Modelled on Pieter Brueghel's famous 16th century painting "The Tower Of Babel", the poster shows the peoples of Europe rebuilding the tower that God destroyed in Genesis 11:5-9;

And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth."

Note the statement shown on the poster "Many Tongues One Voice", inverts God's judgement on Babel. Note also that the normal European stars have been inverted to a pentagram, which shows the horns, ears and beard of Lucifer.

The man who designed it was inspired by the 12 stars that in Catholic tradition halo the head of Mary. He still hopes she will be incorporated into the design. So the actual flag is of the `Queen of Heaven' as the Queen of Europe, at the very centre of the EU. After complaints by some Christians, it was withdrawn. BUT in December 2000 they completed a new EU Parliament building in Strasbourg in France.



This is the original 16th century painting and below is the finished Strasbourg EU Building.



But if you thought that was enough, that's not the end. Even worse than the tower of Babel is the fact that they have chosen another symbol to identify Europe, an image of a woman sitting on a beast - symbolic of both spiritual and political power! There are two parliament buildings for Europe, one in Strasbourg in France, and the other in Brussels in Belgium - both contain murals depicting this woman. And outside the Council of Europe Building in Brussels is a crude sculpture of this evil, scarlet woman, riding the evil beast. Is she the woman referred to in Revelation 17.



Sculpture 2000 - Outside the European Council Buildings in Brussels



This symbol of the European Union is printed on stamps, phone cards, and currency. The woman is known from Greek mythology as 'Europa' and literally she has been raped by the beast. Is that how the politicians see Europe?

Another symbol adopted by Europe, as curious as the Tower of Babel, is the Greek myth of the `Rape of Europa'. This makes us ask - is Europe today being raped politically/financially/spiritually - and by whom? In every case a wanton woman, Europa, can be seen riding a beast (Rev 17:1-7), note especially from Revelation that the forehead of the woman riding the beast is branded with the name, `Mystery Babylon '). The mythical story is that Zeus, the father of the gods, spied Europa alone on the beach and lusted after her. He transformed himself into a bull of dazzling whiteness with horns like a crescent moon and lay down at her feet. She climbed on his back and he plunged with her into the waves of the sea before raping her. Europa conceived a son, and after her death she received divine honours as `Queen of Heaven', whilst the bull dissolved into the constellation in the sky known as Taurus. Brussels and Strasbourg EU Parliaments both contain paintings of the woman on the beast. A related issue may be the massive computer in Brussels called Euro Net, but nicknamed the `Beast', the first computer reputed, to be capable of storing personal data of the entire world population.

Is Europe the Babylon spoken of which will be destroyed in one hour. (Revelation 18:1-15


The Seat of Satan



Germany's Pergamon Museum in former East Berlin



The gigantic 'Altar of Pergamon' dominates Germany's Pergamon Museum in former East Berlin. Originally sited in Asia Minor, the Temple at Pergamon with its altar was the centre of Emperor worship; the price of refusal to acknowledge the Emperor as God - ritual murder on the altar! Revelation 2:13 calls it 'Satan's Seat' or 'the Throne of Satan',




Rev 2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

On its steps early Christians were martyred for their unswerving faith in Christ. German archaeologist Carl Human found it in almost perfect condition in the late 1800's and carefully shipped every stone to Berlin. In 1902 Kaiser Wilhelm II celebrated its erection in Berlin as the 'proudest monument to his reign' - with an extravagant festival to the pagan gods!



It is significant that within a short time of this, the history of Germany was to be dominated by a sequence of events which could only be attributed to Satanic control. Yet another relic from the past is the Ishtar Gate again brought back to Germany stone by stone, it was said to be one of the gates into Babylon and originally had around it 337 images of the dragon god. Today you can still see some of the images. 337 in numerology is the number of sheol or hell. These gates to the occult represent the entrance or gates to hell.



You can clearly see the images of the dragon god, lovingly restored to its former glory. Why would they bring 2 items like this which speak of evil and have connections with Satan. Europe is becoming a Godless organisation who's intentions are far from righteous. Will the Anti-Christ come up through the countries of Europe and use them to fight Christ at his return. Don't forget we are not looking for 10 countries now to fulfil the prophecy but 10 Kings then who have power for an hour. No matter how many countries join the EU there is no telling what will happen in the future and how Europe will be divided or Kindomised in the future for the purpose and will of the Anti-Christ.

We should think long and hard as British Christians before entering the EU. It is not a matter of losing our pound but losing our right and freedom to be a Christian, to worship as and when we please. Europe will be punished for its stand against God, would we want to be a part of that?

We would like to thank 'Prophetic Vision' for information and pictures used in this article.

Prophetic Vision magazine is one of the largest European Christian magazines with a worldwide circulation. It has a readership of over a quarter of a million and is published four times a year in English, German and Danish/Norwegian – certain editions are also translated into Russian and Bulgarian. It is free of charge. The aim of the magazine is to convey a strong prophetic vision concerning Russia, Europe and Israel in these end times, both from Scripture and current events. The challenge to us is to ACT, evangelise NOW!

As Bush Wins, Blair Signs It Away

BRITISH CHURCH NEWSPAPER – 12 November 2004
Dr Clive Gillis

http://www.ianpaisley.org/article.asp?ArtKey=blairsigns

In a day full of symbolism glorifying ancient Rome and the papacy, the most blatant symbols were reserved for the ceremony in the Orazi e Curiazi.

The grainy black and white photographs of the signing of the Treaty of Rome in 1957 show a table along one wall. But for the signing of the EU Constitution on the 29 October 2004, the whole axis of the ceremony within the room had been changed so that every statesman signed on a table draped with the EU flag while towering above him was a colossal statue of Innocent X (see picture).

Meanwhile the dignitaries were serenaded by lapsed Donegal Romanist, Eithne Ní Bhraonáin, known as Enya. She is Pope John Paul II’s personal favourite and has sung for him in the Vatican.

Pope Innocent X

Every one of the 25 signatories to the EU Constitution was so positioned that the official archive photograph shows the huge hand of Innocent X reaching out paternally above him. Innocent takes up three quarters of the picture with the statesmen relegated to a little strip across the bottom. Innocent milked the papacy to provide a huge personal and family fortune including a Palace on the Piazza Navonna. In his old age he had a lover, Donna Olympia, who in turn extracted immense wealth with her charms.



The gaze of the statesmen signing the document was directed to the opposite end of the room where a huge fresco of the Rape of the Sabine Women by the Romans was displayed. Here a colossal marble of Urban VIII waved as condescendingly as Innocent X at the other end. Urban indecently assaulted the papacy and much of Rome to carry off even greater wealth than Innocent X.

Mr Blair declined the subsequent banquet and went home early, presumably unused to the full blast of raw Romanism.

A political farce

This signing of the new EU constitution on Rome’s Capitoline Hill on 29th October, was a political farce. At least 11 of the 25 states, including Britain, were committed to retrospective referenda. What is more, many people were incensed that the Constitution omitted any reference to Europe’s Roman Catholic foundations.

On top of this came the comments of the Pope’s friend, Rocco Buttiglione, the Italian nominee for justice and home affairs commissioner. He threw the EU into institutional crisis by condemning homosexuality and denigrating single mothers and has now been rejected.

The Buttiglione affair has provoked whispers of an EU led anti-Roman Catholic conspiracy. The Book of Revelation shows the harlot riding upon the decayed western Roman Empire, now divided into 10 kingdoms, so the further the community stretches, the more of this sort of thing we may expect to see.

A much needed history lesson

The Italians therefore used the Capitoline Hill setting for a much needed history lesson. Heads of State were taken to see where the triumphant Roman Emperors returned to worship the Goddess Juno Moneta, who presided over Rome’s mint. The hill was shut to traffic while staunch Romanist Franco Zeffirelli, a multimillionaire film director turned politician, choreographed spectacular TV coverage. Rome’s fashion designer, Valentino Garavani, also a multi millionaire, designed the lavish uniforms for the stewards and the 25 glamorous interpreter 'guides'.

Millions of euros were lavished on the ceremony. Unlike the 30,000 fresh flowers specially flown in from Holland, the 3.5 million euros spent on refurbishing ‘Rome’s heart’, will be of permanent benefit to Rome. Rome’s heart consists of Michelangelo’s Piazza del Campidoglio and Palazzo dei Conservatori, and its Sala degli Orazi e Curiazi (where the original Treaty of Rome was signed in 1957). Although key decisions have been taken at other venues such as Maastricht, all original and signed copies of EU treaties are kept in Rome.

The heads of state had their group photograph taken outside the Conservatori which had been especially Latinised for the occasion with the banner Europae Rei Publicae Status wrapped around the 12 stars. The central portico of the Conservatori contains the huge, pagan, female statue of Rome sitting topped with an inscription glorifying Pope Clement XI. He brought the statue and much else to magnify Rome on the Capitoline in the eighteenth century. Clement’s contribution also included a colossal head and arm of Emperor Constantine 1 who oversaw the transition from Rome Pagan to Rome Christian.

Roman conquest of Britain

The rest of the huge relics at which the dignitaries gazed bore inscriptions recording the subjection of the nations to Rome. One wonders whether Tony Blair’s 'guide' showed him the AD 51 fragment of arch celebrating the conquest of Britain by Claudius.

[shalag]

Yes - I would say that is sobering - very sobering - very disturbing. It makes me appreciate the symbolism of the 10 commandments that we have on our building in Washington.

[Stephen]

Yes, I agree that these postings have some very sobering comparisons. I once lived in Europe for about three years, and I couldn't shake the feeling of how spiritually dead the place was. It's really hard to put into words. And, yes, what a difference between Europe and America. Thank God for America!

I kind of thought the feet of iron clay in Daniel 2 might refer to the pieces that eventually evolved from Charlemagne's kingdom of the Franks (the acknowledged successor to the Roman empire): The holy roman empire (basically Germany), and the French monarchy. Both disappeared from history at the same time (and have metamorphosed into the EU). Remarkably, their disappearance coincided with American independence. Within 30 years of America gaining nationhood, the French monarchy and the holy roman empire were gone ... and that after they had existed for close on 1000 years! I also tend to think the stone that struck the image and destroyed it is America. But that's another story.

Thanks for the thought-provoking posts, guys. I've always believed the whore of Babylon is roman catholicism. Remarkable how resilient this evil church has proven to be ... but she's going down bigtime when the Lord passes final judgment upon her filthy carcass!
