Giving The Beast Teeth

Giving The Beast Teeth

by Michael G. Mickey


In what could be as soon as a few days, the revived Roman empire of bible prophecy, the European Union, is going to name its first EU President and Foreign Minister as a result of the ratification of its Lisbon Treaty. Even before that has happened, Italy is calling for a European Union army to be formed, as seen in an EUBusiness.com article:

Italy's foreign minister called for the creation of a European Union army following ratification of a landmark EU reform treaty, in a newspaper interview out Monday.

Speaking ahead of an EU summit this week, Franco Frattini said the Lisbon Treaty establishes "that if some countries want to enter into reinforced co-operation between themselves they can do so."

"Every country duplicates its forces, each of us puts armoured cars, men, tanks, planes, into Afghanistan," he told Britain's Times newspaper, saying there was a "necessary objective to have a European army."

"If there were a European army, Italy could send planes, France could send tanks, Britain could send armoured cars, and in this way we would optimise the use of our resources.

"Perhaps we won't get there immediately, but that is the idea of a European army".

In bible prophecy we see that the prophesied Antichrist and the world government under his control is not only going to have a lot of political clout, it is also going to be mighty in its offensive military prowess.

Daniel 7:7: After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it [was] diverse from all the beasts that [were] before it; and it had ten horns.

Daniel 7:23: Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

For a long time my position has been that the European Union, headquartered in part in Brussels, Belgium has never had to look far to find teeth to bare. After all, the greatest military alliance in the world, NATO, is based in Brussels as well. The creation of a uniquely European Union military force, however? That would be dramatic to say the least. And who knows? It may be on its way to occurring before our very eyes.
