"Am I therefore become your enemy,because I TELL YOU THE TRUTH...?"
(Galatians 4:16)

Rome Revived

Some days I just feel the need to take a breather from writing about all the evidence in the world around us pointing to the soon-coming return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, just to try and digest the volumes of information I'm looking over near-daily.Today was one of those days - until Emily Riley, who graciously agreed to place some prophecy and Christian-related news stories to the blog site periodically during a necessary absence from my work here, sent me an article that demonstrates, once again, just how clearly the end times scenario is coming together before our very eyes!A Times Online article entitled "Call for vote on ‘Europe empire’" opens as follows (emphasis added mine):Britain was told yesterday that it was part of a new European empire-by the Brussels bureaucrat who would be emperor. José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, said that all 27 EU members should be proud of their unique union. “At least we in the Commission are proud of it.” President of the EU Commission José Manuel Barroso is quoted in the article as saying the following of the ever-rising empire that is the European Union:“We are not the United States of Europe-we are unique in the history of mankind!Sometimes I like to compare the EU as a creation to the organisation of empires.We have the dimension of empire but there is a difference. Empires were made with force with a centre imposing diktat.“Now what we have is the first non-imperial empire. We have 27 countries that fully decided to work together and to pool their sovereignty. I believe it is a great construction and we should be proud of it.”In Daniel 7:19, Daniel records that the final empire that will rule the world will be diverse from all the others.Echoing that, Daniel 7:23 tells us the final empire to rule the world prior to Christ's return "shall be diverse from all kingdoms" yet it will devour the whole earth, tread it down, and break it in pieces!Isn't it interesting, in light of Daniel's choice of words, that we see José Manuel Barroso referring to the European Union as the first non-imperial empire? That's what makes it different from all the others from his perspective - and perhaps there is far more to that than meets the eye...
