decda7b27de737fa70cd47606086b5f4EU Observer: “One day after he rejected EU “dictates” on economic policy, French leader Francois Hollande and Germany’s Angela Merkel have called for the creation of a full-time euro “President. The idea came in a joint text published on Thursday (30 May) during Merkel’s visit to Paris.

The paper says that “a full-time President for the Eurogroup of finance ministers relying on wider resources” should be created after the EU elections in 2014. It calls for: more frequent eurozone summits; a “specific fund for the euro area” alongside the general EU budget; and new “structures” in the European Parliament to oversee euro-level economic governance.”

Opinion: The southern European Union nations are drowning in debt. France, Italy, Germany, and England have called for the need to have a “powerful leader” and head the new and rising European Union to solve the financial crisis.

Daniel 7:24  clearly says “in the last days” ten nations will rise out of the revived Roman Empire: “The ten horns are ten kings  Who shall arise from this kingdom …”

Daniel then tells us that another leader will come along and subdue three of the kings, “… And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings.”

And in Daniel 7:25 we get the clue as to who he is “And he shall speak pompous words against the Most High …”

imagesCARKCNBVWorld Net Daily: “The revelation that the USDA is actively working with the Mexican government to promote food stamps for illegal aliens should have a direct impact on the fact of the immigration bill now being debated in Congress,” said Tom Fitton, the president of the organization.

“These disclosures further confirm the fact that the Obama administration cannot be trusted to protect our borders or enforce our immigration laws.”

Opinion: From an end time perspective, gross mismanagement of America’s finances leading to a collapse of the world’s strongest economy is scary but logical. The US must decline as the EU expands.

The only place in prophecy in which the US seems to fit is Ezekiel 38:13. The Young Lions, as the prophet calls them, are a perfect description of America. The lion is the symbol for Great Britain.

A careful reading of the prophecy will show that the three nations mentioned, Britain, America and Saudi Arabia (Sheba and Dedan) are powerless bystanders in Ezekiel’s war.

There is no way for a global government in the revived Roman Empire (Daniel 2:41-42) to come to power with a US superpower in the way.

American Thinker: “There is perhaps a key message in the current Korean crisis — namely, a threat of a U.S. strike on Iran would perhaps be matched by threat of a North Korean attack on South Korea. Could this be the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) indirect way of going mano-a-mano with the USA?”

Opinion: We know that Iran and North Korea are sharing nuclear technology, evidenced by the Iranian presence at the recent North Korea nuclear test. Joel Rosenberg advances the possibility that the small nuclear device may have been tested for Iran, meaning that Iran has already crossed the nuclear threshold.

Is the US intel faulty that says Iran is still a year off from a nuclear weapon? If so, does Netanyahu believe, as President Obama does, that there is still time for sanctions/negotiations?

We can have assurances from Bible prophecy that Israel will not be obliterated by an Iranian nuke. God’s perfect prophetic word teaches that when Israel is restored the second time (Isaiah 11:11) it will become an immovable rock (Zechariah 12:3) and never again be moved (Amos 9:23).

But the Bible teaches that Iran will attack Israel in the Gog/Magog invasion (Ezekiel 38-39) in league with Russia (Magog), Turkey (Beth Togarmah) and additional Islamic allies, but that invasion only takes place when Israel is living in peace and safety (Ezekiel 38:11).

So how will Israel ever be living in peace and safety? Here is a possible scenario:

Bible scholars point to a 10 nation Arab assault (Psalm 83: 1-8) as a precursor to Ezekiel’s war. Obadiah 1:18 and Micah 4:13 indicate a miraculous Israeli victory. The war, having obliterated (Obadiah 1:18) the Arab armies and destroying Damascus, (Isaiah 17:1, 14) will bring the Quartet (US, UN, EU and Russia) together to force Israel into a false peace, fulfilling Daniel 9:27.  In a rush to make peace the  Olso (land for peace) Accords is resurrected and forced upon Israel and her devastated neighbors.

Out of that false peace, one man will emerge who will dominate the quartet and be stronger than his peers (Daniel 7:20).
