Is the EU about to enforce Sunday worship?
Economic “Contagion”—and Bible Prophecy...
How does this play in with Bible prophecy? The Scriptures are plain when they state that the return of Jesus Christ will be preceded by a religious-political-economic-military system composed of 10 nations (or groups of nations) based in Europe and inspired by the ancient Roman system (Revelation 12:3; 13:1; 17:3, 7, 12). This will be the last human empire before the establishment of the Kingdom of God.
Is it possible this current economic crisis in Europe will become so critical that it will serve as the stimulus for the formation of this end-time European power? It would appear to emerge not democratically, but out of severe crisis, as an emergency measure.
Notice: “These [the 10 horns or 10 leaders] are united in yielding their power and authority to the beast; they will make war on the Lamb [Jesus Christ], and the Lamb will conquer them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings” (Revelation 17:13-14, New Revised Standard Version, emphasis added).
Will the 10 yield their political power to the beast as a result of a crisis? That would seem very likely.
Whatever the case, current developments in Europe are significant in the inexorable march of Bible prophecy. Let’s watch the effects of “contagion” and keep our eyes on Europe!
