The European Union
In March of 2025 the European Commission unveiled plans to militarize the European
Union entitled the White Paper for European Defense Readiness 2030.
Bible prophecy has foretold of a powerful United Europe in the latter days, a
drive to unite Europe into one economic, political and religious bloc of
nations.
There have been numerous revivals of the Roman Empire in Europe over the centuries since the fall of ancient Rome.
These revivals are represented by the seven heads of a wild animal in Revelation
17. One last restoration is yet to arise. This confederated Europe will be an immense political, military and economic power. Prophecy further reveals that this powerful church-state union will be composed of “ten horns”,
which 10 nations or groups of nations
“The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour 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)
" And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” (Revelation 13:3-4)
The European Union is the "First Beast" of Rev 13:1-10 which is the "Revived Roman Empire"
Europe is now publicly declaring it wants its own army and that it will produce its own weapons,
and also wants nukes for defensive purposes.
Notice that the King of the North will control a “great army” with “many ships”:
“He shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South with a great army." (Daniel 11:25)
“At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships" (Daniel 11:40)
Late in 2022 The European Political Community or EPC, was
created, which would provide for political and strategic discussions about the future of the
European continent:
"It really has the potential to build a new forum for strategic exchange and policy-making on a pan-continental scale, which is very much what the geopolitical situation requires at the moment," Daniela Schwarzer, executive director for Europe and Eurasia at Open Society Foundations, told Euronews.
"We know Europe didn't invest enough in its own neighborhood for a long time," she went on. "So if this European Political Community becomes a forum and a place for policymaking, that actually shows the EU's neighbors that it's interesting to partner more closely with the EU, that will create more stability in the EU's neighborhood."
It appears that there are those that are not happy with the
present rules under the European
Union, this appears to be away around them. Just as the Constitution of
the United States has kept socialism at bay, the bylaws of the European Union
have kept the Beast from rising up. As in both cases they are finding ways
around them.
The symbol of a woman (Europa) riding a beast has come to represent the European
Union, it is seen on euro money, paintings, buildings, sculptures, and
museums. It is no coincidence that the bible describes the end time
beast with a woman riding it.
There is a sculpture of “The Woman on the Beast” which is the main feature on the outside of the building of the Council of Europe in Brussels.

The Flag:
Officially it is claimed that the circle of 12 stars represents
"solidarity and harmony between the peoples of Europe".
Or could it be that the flag was inspired by the halo of 12 stars around Catholic pictures of the Madonna?
The EU poster and Parliament building are nothing more than a fist in the air directed toward God, we are continuing the unfinished work of Nimrod who was building the Tower of Babel to defy God.
"And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."
Genesis 11:4

Biblical prophecies are consistent with Jesus returning between 2029-2031, with the Great Tribulation starting 3 1/2 years earlier. And since the Bible shows that all who dwell on the earth will worship the warring Beast power, and it's reign is 42 months, that would place it sometime in 2025 or 2027.
