The Second Greatest Sign Of All!

The Second Greatest Sign Of All!

The creation of the state of Israel in 1948 is, by far, the most important prophetic development of the 20th century. Would we be able to name the second�?

According to a number of bible teachers, it would easily be the formation of the European Union.
Dr. David Reagan is a highly respected Christian author and conference speaker. He maintains a ministry and a website called �Lamb and Lion� in Texas. One of his articles is entitled �EU & End-times Prophecy�. Consider these excerpts below for yourself� http://www.lamblion.com/articles/articles_signs8.php
�The last Gentile world empire will be a confederation of nations (Daniel 2:41-43) that will arise out of the old Roman Empire (Daniel 7:7-8). And out of that confederation, the Antichrist will arise, using the revived Roman Empire as his base to conquer the world (Daniel 7:8, 23-25). But this final Gentile empire will be short-lived, for it will be suddenly crushed by the return of the Messiah who will "set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed" (Daniel 2:44).
�I believe that today, before our very eyes, we are witnessing the fulfillment of these ancient prophecies of Daniel. Europe has reunited into a revived Roman Empire that is expanding rapidly in size. As it grows, and as national identities are de-emphasized, it will most likely be divided into ten administrative areas, just as Daniel prophesied (2:42-44 and 7:7 � the ten toes of chapter 2 correspond to the ten horns of chapter 7).
If what we are seeing on the European scene just now is indeed what God has prophesied , and I, for one,
am without doubt it is so, then we are on the threshold of the Lord's return.
�The European Union's flag consists of 12 stars. A former secretary general of the Council of Europe, Leon Marchal, affirmed that �the stars are those of the woman of the Apocalypse�. (Rev. 12)
�An amazing poster was issued by the European Union, showing the Tower of Babel and carrying the slogan: �Many tongues, one voice.� a crane in the background was shown rebuilding the tower.
��the new Brussels headquarters of the Council of Europe contains a bronze statue of a woman riding a beast, and the beast is depicted riding on waves, just as in Rev. 17.
�What the EU has lacked is a strong, centralized executive. The new treaty (Treaty of Lisbon, signed on 12-13-07) takes the first step in creating this official by providing for an elected President of the Council� It is, of course, paving the way for the rise of the Antichrist whom I believe will take over the EU and serve as its President.�
One of the founding visionaries of the EU, Belgian Prime Minister Paul Henri-Spaak once said this when explaining the hopes of the EU vision�
�What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all people, and to lift us out of the economic morass in which we are sinking� � � send us such a man and, be he God or the devil, we will receive him."
Look up, saints, for �your redemption draweth nigh!�
