What happens to the Beast now?
By Hal Lindsey
Europe's leading politicians are bracing themselves for what could be
a catastrophic rejection of the European Union's proposed constitution
when the French hold their constitutional referendum on June 1. A May
25 Angus Reid Poll says 54 percent of French voters plan to vote to
reject the proposed constitution.
Since the treaty must be ratified by all 25 E.U. members to come into
force, a French rejection would effectively kill the constitution.
Many nations are already speculating that, should the French fail to
ratify it, there would be little point in continuing the ratification
process.
The British, who take over the European Union's rotating presidency in
June, may well press for a declaration that the process is dead to
avoid having to hold its own referendum.
The Netherlands is also in doubt – so much so that E.U. Parliament
President Josep Borrell issued a dark warning to the Dutch on Tuesday,
saying, "It is difficult to imagine Europe without the Netherlands."
The Dutch vote comes three days after the French, and the latest polls
show the Dutch plan to reject the proposed constitution, as well.
Borrell warned that a Dutch "no" would prevent the constitution from
coming into force, and, to underscore the seriousness, expressly ruled
out the treaty's renegotiation.
The French view the E.U. constitution as an "Anglo-Saxon" document
designed to enshrine "Thatcherite policies" they say will devastate
the social balance of Europe. The wider implications of a "no" vote
are unclear, but there is already some discussion of renegotiating a
"core Europe" solution.
A "core Europe" model would move forward without Britain and other
"undesirables" – such being defined as those European states that
supported the U.S. war in Iraq. The idea of a "core Europe" – with
France and Germany at the center moving quickly ahead with joint
policies, while slower states bring up the rear – was once seen as a
spur to closer integration. It has since morphed into a threat: "If
you're not ready, we'll do it on our own."
German officials privately admit to misgivings about the idea of core
Europe, especially one dominated by France. As Gerhard Schröder, the
German chancellor, said at the Brussels summit, the idea is a
second-best solution, not Germany's first choice. But he sees it as a
logical move if the draft constitution fails and enlargement paralyzes
the European Union.
A Dec. 18, Economist article noted that, "the collapse of the
constitutional talks may allow the French to insist that an enlarged
E.U. will be unworkable, so that a core Europe is needed."
The Economist's story bore the intriguing headline: "Who Killed the
Constitution – And What Happens to the Beast Now?"
The mention of a core Europe or a core group of European nations
resonates with Bible prophecy in the books of Daniel and Revelation.
It concerns a latter-day revival of the Roman Empire.
The prophet Daniel predicts that a group of 10 "kings" (national
leaders) will give rise to a frightening union that will fulfill many
end-time prophecies.
Two thousand years ago, the Apostle John, speaking of the government
of the antichrist wrote, "The ten horns ... are ten kings who have
received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour [a
short time] as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they
will give their power and authority to the BEAST" (Revelation
17:12-13).
Depending on the decision of the French, and later the Dutch voters,
the coming weeks may give some hint to the answer to the Economist's
intriguing question: "And What Happens to the Beast Now?"

Why would it be catastrophic, Tone?

Hopefully because somone at the Economist has a sense of humour and enjoys
winding up paranoid weirdo fundamentalists. Most likely it was coinky-dinky.

Only to brain-fried fruitcakes. Daniel was written AFTER the events it is
claimed it predicts so accurately..
It concerns a latter-day revival of the Roman Empire.
WRONG
The prophet Daniel predicts that a group of 10 "kings" (national
leaders) will give rise to a frightening union that will fulfill many
end-time prophecies.
Superstitious bollocks.
Two thousand years ago, the Apostle John,
He was the one who sat in a cave and starved himself (or used other means)
until he hallucinated right?
speaking of the government
of the antichrist wrote, "The ten horns ... are ten kings who have
received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour [a
short time] as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they
will give their power and authority to the BEAST" (Revelation
17:12-13).
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
