European Union:
RAPID RISE to DOMINATING WORLD STATURE
During 2010, the EU will accellerate in readying itself into the Bible's final 1-World Government on earth as foretold for today's End Times. This is guaranteed from this time onward and is irreversible in this earth as this generation quickly draws closer to the 'start' of the 7 Year Tribu- lation period.
The EU's momentum will rapidly increase so that all other nations, including the United States, will clearly begin sub-mitting to the EU's unmatched world dominance econo-mically and politically. The EU's rise to dominancy is the prime course it is on right now until its total world domination in the Great Tribulation as foretold in Bible prophecies. [Dan 7:24, Rev 13:1-10, Rev 17:8-13].
The EU's military power will also dominate the world later at the middle of the 7 Year Tribulation and backed by other EU countries and possibly other world organizations, like the United Nations. At this mid-point is when the Bible's foretold 1-World Government begins its final horri-
fic reign in human history, which is in view today.
EU'S OWN WORLD PROPOSALS:
The EU will clearly begin taking the 'lead' on critical world issues and gaining serious favor from other world leaders. The EU's own dictatorial nature and agenda will begin being muscled into both the European Union's system and the critical '1-World' talks already going on today.
2 of the EU's prime topics to gain momentum in 2010 with world leaders will be about moving towards a 1-World common currency and Economic solution.
Also, the EU's current alertness to help feed starving 3rd world countries and poor peoples of the earth will gain attention in the world's eyes, and within the EU itself, in 'world economy' talks. This concept will start becoming popular as a 'human right of all peoples, to have daily food and water', a legitimate and moral point.
However, this is clearly setting the stage for the Biblically foretold 'mark of the beast', the eventual 1-World eco- nomic system forced upon 'all' in order to 'buy or sell' under the EU's coming domination. The 'mark' will come into global martial law at the exact mid-point of the 7 Year Tribulation which is in clear view today.
The EU's prime reason for giving attention to this issue will be Benedict XVI's own clout and push to 'feed the poor nations of the earth, as a human right', being the world's prime promoter of this issue within the EU already.
Here again, this precise scenario is shown in Daniel and Revelation and heading rapidly right now towards fulfill- ment. Namely, the False Prophet rising up from within the final Euro-kingdom [Dan 7:24] and, at the Mid-Point of the 7 Year Tribulation and resulting from worldwide famine and economic collapse, 'forces the mark of the beast upon ALL' as the final 1-World economic solution. [Rev 13:16,17] [ News / 'mark' - false prophet ]
2010: ONLY 1 LEADER over entire EU:
The EU's newly-created position [in Nov '09] of '1-man' being its sole 'President' over the entire European Union will also accelerate the EU towards its inevitable End Time world dominance.
This is a major change of a 52 year internal policy within the EU system. It is also an incredible SIGN of End Time prophecy suddenly coming into place right on time with all other prophecies, and being ready for fulfillment within the EU.
This is because for the last 52 years, since the Treaty of Rome established the brand new European Union (in 1957), the EU's 'President' has always been held by each EU 'country' alphabetically and on a 6-month rotating basis, right up through November 2009.
However now, the recent Lisbon Treaty [ratified Nov '09] has suddenly enlarged the policy and created the 'Presidency' to be held by 'only 1-person', having even more control over the EU and the other 'rotating' countries. [News]
This has NOW suddenly swung the door wide open for Daniel 7:24's prophecy and Revelation's scenario to be fulfilled quickly which show 1-man (Papacy) being handed the sole Leadership over the entire 10-nation Euro-kingdom.
This brand new EU policy emphasizes how close this gen-eration is now to the 'start' of the 7 Year Tribulation since the Bible shows this scenario takes place at the beginning of the Tribulation. [Dan 7:24, 11:21, Rev 6:2]
However, the False Prophet [Papacy of Rome/Antichrist] who 'excercises all the authority' [Rev 13:12] of the beastly final European kingdom will not yet take the Presidency in 2010. But, this foretold historical 'first' [a religious leader as opposed to a political leader being dictator over a world kingdom] is in plain view now and on rapid course as showed in detailed depth at Heisnear.com.
PAPACY Rising to the Helm of the EU:
The Pope currently has gained huge momentum in the last 36 months in pushing his way into the EU's eye, the G8 and G20's eye and the United Nations' eye. Benedict's favorite topics? The Mideast and 'feeding the world's poor'. [ News / false prophet ]
Through 2010 and leading up to the Tribulation both of these 2 current pushes by Benedict will pick up pace together in bringing him forward into the world's eventual spotlight as the ultimate world leader on today's world stage. These are also the 2 most critical scenarios to watch for in discerning the nearness of the 'start' of the Tribulation.
As previously mentioned, his repeated proposals of re-struct- uring the global system to 'feed the poor of the world as a human right' will so popularize Benedict XVI that his foretold rise to the EU's Presidency will be a 'given' from the EU's leaders' perspective. Revelation shows him as being 'given a crown' by the EU right after the Tribulation begins. [Rev 6:2]
In fact, the Lisbon Treaty's new policy [Nov '09] of having '1-man as President' over the entire EU sparked the Papacy's aggressive response to remind EU top leaders of their obligation to recognize the religious voices [like the Papacy's] within the EU's decision-making according to the Treaty's Article 17. [News / Dec 2009]
Other subtle yet timely signs of the Vatican's speeding up towards its inevitable global control is its recent Agree-ment with the EU's headquarters in Belgium to circulate more Papal coinage starting in 2010. Roman coinage is significant since immediately after the Tribulation begins Revelation 6:6 shows that a 'denarius' [Roman coinage] is being used as the gauge within the economic system.
Also recently in 2009 the Vatican's sudden and aggress- ive push into the Internet world lines up with its coming inevitable dictatorial control over all persons on earth as Revelation foretells of the EU and False Prophet.
Benedict's pushiness in vocalizing his demands towards the EU leaders and to all of Europe fits right into his trend over the last 24 - 36 months or so and is pre- paring the EU environment for his coming rise to power foretold in End Time prophecy. [ News / Benedict > ]
This is exactly what Daniel foretold when writing that 'he will seize the kingdom [final Euro-kingdom] by intrigue'. Here again, this refers to the world's final ultimate dictator rising from within the End Time Euro-kingdom but not as a political leader as all other world leaders but, intriguingly, as a 'religious' leader. This is why Daniel also foretold that he 'will be different' from the previous leaders. [Dan. 7:24]. Revelation later put a 'religious' face on Antichrist clarifying him as a 'false prophet'. [Rev. 13:11, 16:13, 19:20, 20:10]
PAPACY and Israel:
MIDEAST PEACE TREATY: NEXT End Time EVENT
The Papacy's current momentum towards fulfilling its role as the False Prophet [Antichrist] of the End Times will speed up in 2010, even faster than its current momen-tum over the last 24 - 36 months.
Eventually, the Papacy's orchestrating of a 7 Year Treaty with Israel will 'start' the final Tribulation period making his outward appearance to the world as a 'rider on a white horse'. [Rev 6:1, 2 / Dan 9:27]
This will be the NEXT major prophecy to take place in today's End Times and is already in forward motion as Heisnear.com details with scriptures and News Headlines.
Also, Benedict's repeated entering into Jewish synagogues at his own will is an incredible MAJOR SIGN of End Time prophecy and the Nearness of Christ today. This is because Antichrist will enter into a newly-constructed 3rd Jewish Temple in Jerusalem which will start the final 3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation. This scriptural fact makes Benedict's bold public actions a virtual full-DRESS Rehearsal of the foretold Abomination of Deso- lation, in plain view.
Benedict's next synagogue visit is scheduled for 2010 inside Rome's main Jewish synagogue. Whether it takes place or not, this is the same synagogue where Pope John Paul II in 1986 became the 1st Pope in 2000 years to set foot inside a Jewish Temple which was a major sign of End Time prophecy today. Although John Paul II only entered 1 time near the end of his 28 year reign as Pope, Benedict XVI aggressively entered a Jewish Temple within the 1st 4 months after being elected and 'sat down' in it exactly as scriptures say Antichrist will do. [2 Thess 2:4]. Benedict's 2nd Temple visit was in New York in 2008. [ Headline News/photos ]
Prophetically and from this point on towards the 'start' of the Tribulation, the Papacy will increasingly gain Israel's favor and the global spotlight as being the prime and unmatched world candidate for the inevitable 'signing' of the coming 7 Year Mideast Peace Treaty. This will begin the FINAL 7 YEARS in history and will occur sometime after 2010. [ News links / Mideast Peace ]
AMERICA'S humbled state today under OBAMA
America today is in its greatest state of humility since the Great Depression, 77 years ago in 1933. This is no coinci- dence that it is occurring at this time. From God's perspective there's no such thing as a 'coincidence' since He knows all things in advance. The word does not appear in the Bible. In fact, America's spiritual humility right now is precisely on time prophetically.
From His perspective the ultimate purpose of today's humbled state of America in today's End Times is so that His people can 'see' and 'hear' the truth more clearly at this critical juncture in world history, adjacent to the rapidly-narrowing gap of time remaining until the 'start' of the coming Tribulation. And then to rise in unity as Christians.
From this point on, the USA must be observed in this light and in the largest scope of things prophetically. Also, since 'birth pangs' lead right into the Tribulation, then more extreme and more frequent turbulences are coming in 2010 to America and globally. Those who stand firmly on the Rock, being Christ, will not be shaken.
Under Obama, USA's Status as a 'government':
America's decline 'economically' and 'politically' is being observed by other marveling world leaders who know this to be true.
The current rapid decline of America as a 'government' will become much more pronounced and obvious, even turbulent, in and through 2010 while heading towards the 'start' of the Tribulation. The appointment of Obama as President was right on time prophetically for America to begin its inevitable re-aligning as a 'government' with the foretold godless and dictatorial mindset of Europe, which is streamlining towards a final 1-World Government.
America's 2012 Presidential election will be an instru- mental opportunity for a true God-fearing President to lead God's people within America to unity, readiness and prayer in nearing the 'start' of Tribulation. However as previously mentioned, the body of Christ is about to rise up in power and strength and with its own anointed 5-Fold Leaders leading the way regardless of America's current irreversible decline as a 'government' or whoever the next President might be.
The USA under Pres. Obama: Economically
Economically, many top voices in America today, includ-ing popular Christian ministers and TV ministries, are heard talking of America's 'comeback' to its original reigning stature before Mid-Sept '08's economic fallout. One false 'prophet' of many amongst Evangelical circles even proph- esied that America will return 'quickly to an even greater stature than ever!'. This is complete false prophecy.
Again, this is because IT IS TIME NOW for America as a 'government' and all nations to begin submitting to today's fast-rising western Euro-kingdom as foretold for today's End Times. [Rev 13:1-10 / Dan 7:24]
This earth, and America, have NOT been shaken up enough yet. More extreme shakings are coming with America's own ECONOMY and Stock Market READYING AGAIN for another extreme shaking, MORE EXTREME than Mid-Sept '08. Why? To rake the world's 'soil' EVEN MORE for the coming great harvesting of souls for Christ.
However, tangible commodity prices will continue to rise up- wards, like an 'upward staircase graph'. [ie. oil, gas, gold, coffee, sugar, soy, wheat, etc].
All of this will occur for 2 prime reasons: 1) In the largest scope prophetically in today's End Times, America and all other nations on earth were snapped into the same course heading rapidly towards the ultimate global solution of the foretold 'mark of the beast'. 2) America is now coming into submitting to the fast-rising EU. As already stressed, both of these happenings were inevitable scripturally.
America's coming 'eye-opening', to 'see'
Since 99% of today's popular TV ministries and so-called 'prophets' rarely even so much as mention the 'end times' or any major End Time topic, then the result over the last 20-30 years is what we observe today across America which is total blindness to the actual Nearness of Christ.
This is about to drastically change into the greatest 'eye-opening' awakening and global audience keenly aware of the Nearness of Christ ever. Why? Because it is the exact right timing for this to occur according to the Spirt of God and His End Time plan written in His Word. Jesus Himself foretold of this saying, '...when you see all these things, then KNOW He is near, even right at the door.' This 'seeing' has already begun globally.
All of the major End Time prophecies foretold for the final generation which are overwhelmingly right in front of us today will begin to be realized by America's body of be- lievers in 2010. This will increase rapidly through and after 2010 right up to the explosion of global awareness shown by scriptures to occur later [after 2010] at the 'start' of the Tribulation.
As a result of 'seeing' the Nearness of Christ by the Spirit, then a great zeal will eventually follow after that, increasingly through and after 2010 while drawing nearer to Tribulation. Later towards the 'start' of Tribulation is when the foretold 'maturity, readiness, holiness and great unity' of the body of Christ will be fulfilled, readying for the rapture. [Ephesians 4:13]
This order of things coming [ seeing, then zeal, then unity-maturity ] will explode in God's foretold Outpouring at the time of the actual 'signing' of the 7 Year Treaty which begins the Tribulation. At the 'signing' itself, then Jesus' own prophecy will also be near its final peak saying, '....when you see all these things, KNOW He is near, even right at the door.' [Math 24:33]
For many Americans in 2010 the Nearness of Christ will suddenly come into focus in likeness to the 'elephant in the front room' effect. Many Americans who have stopped attending church and/or have lost enthusiasm for today's worldly and ear-tickling preachers will suddenly be ignited with a fresh fire for God, 'seeing' End Time prophecies staring this generation squarely in the eyes right now.
This beginning 'wave' of End Time believers who 'see all these things' lined up today as Jesus foretold has already started globally although in its infant stages compared to the explosion of awareness coming near the beginning of the Tribulation and in the Final Outpouring. [Math 24:33; Dan 11:32,33]
The 'preaching of the Gospel' right now globally is also a major final sign of the Nearness of Christ and is pacing exactly on time with all other prophecies confirming the Near- ness of Christ today.
America, being the most spiritually-advanced Christian nation in the world, will be the first as a collective body of believers, to gain God's End Time insights and under- standings, and then will also preach and teach them to other countries in the coming final months and years into the Tribulation with greater power than even before.
The prophet Daniel also foretold of this specific purpose of End Time believers alive at the time adjacent to the inevitable 'start' of the 7 Year Tribulation saying, 'Those who have insight amongst the people will provide un- derstanding to the many.' [Dan 11:33] Also saying that, 'Those who know their God will display strength and do mighty exploits.' [Dan 11:32]
This is the ultimate and final purpose for America's Spirit-filled believers. The result will be the End Time harvest of souls in His sovereign and final Outpouring of His Spirit upon all mankind. [Joel 2:28,29 / Ezek. 38:23]
What is God's specific 'Word' to America right now ?
1) REPENT. IT IS TIME NOW to turn away fully from all worldliness and ungodliness in our speech, lives and charac- ter. And to embrace the Lord 100%, being a Christlike reflection of Him and His nature of love, peace, kindness towards all others. This is what sets ourselves apart from the world and proves ourselves as being real Christians. [John 13:34,35; Romans 8:14]
This is also vital since 'maintaining our testimony' is a KEY PROOF inside the coming 7 Year Tribulation of true Christians who have remained strong and upright before God even in the face of the most horrific, hateful and turbulent times in history which are coming just ahead. [Rev 6:9]
2) No more Bank-Borrowed DEBTS or LOANS
Although today's flashy TV ministers and false prophets are NOT saying this at all in America, it is most definitely the word of the Lord to believers in America. God's Word is clear about having NO DEBTS and to NOT engage in BANK-BORROWED loans and DEBT. It results in bondage, enslavement. [Proverbs 22:7; Deut 28, Romans 13:8].
America's ECONOMIC implosion starting in Mid-Sept '08 was caused by Americans, not God, who placed themselves into DEBT, which opposes God's Word. Many who had 'wooden idols' (their newly bought homes by Bank loans) and have 'toys' [ie. cars, boats, etc] had to learn the hard way in the last 15 months about idols and DEBT. But, God is greater than your DEBTS and errors, IF we recognize our mistakes, then REPENT of it.
More 'tables will be turned over' in 2010 of Christian Ministries and Church Pastors who continually push towards BANK-BORROWED LOANS-DEBTS, and then worse, place the yoke and burden of their mistake upon God's innocent children to pay that wrongful DEBT OFF! For believers (or Christian leaders) who do have current BANK LOANS and DEBTS or house mortgages, then, recognize your mistake right now, REPENT of it, and move on, NOT making that error again. This pleases God.
Many today believe that life's greatest WEALTH is found in the bank. TO THE CONTRARY. Life's greatest WEALTH is spiritual and found in the soul of the person who has the fulness of Christ overflowing from within. This is a person who has EVERYTHING. Including greater wealth than all of the weath found in this world.
A Prophetical Word to Believers in America:
[ *orig. shorter version posted: July 4, 2009 @ www.Townhall.com ]
Has God turned His back on America ? Absolutely not. He hasn't turned His back towards anyone, but is still 'facing' His beloved creation with open arms waiting for the last souls to repent and accept Christ, to the remotest ends of the earth. He would never forsake His children here in America nor leave them starving.
In fact, although America's 'government' and economy will experience more severe shakings and extreme turbulence, the body of true believers who are upright and pray in America will continually have God's divine favor and guard. The body of Christ's very presence in America is still the prime reason for America's great blessings, favor and protection bestowed upon us by the Almighty.
This is because no other country in world history, except America, has had so many millions of God's children in it, who believe in Him and His Son. The United States of America stands all alone this way.
This is the ultimate reason why America has been so powerful and blessed in the short 233 years of its awesome existence. Our forefathers who wrote the Constitution surely understood this spiritual foundation in life based on the Bible and belief in God. This is why God HAS NOT turned His back on America since His children are here, MILLIONS OF THEM, who are Christian and believers in God and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
RIGHT NOW, Let us turn back to AND embrace the greatest priority which we believing Americans have, which is greater than any politician or leader, greater than the White House, greater than the Republican or Democratic Parties, greater than our Economic status or woes, greater than any 'race', greater than any particular political ideology or political figure, greater than our political government itself, greater than any of today's societal difficulties, and yes, even greater than being an 'American' which is still important.....
It is TIME NOW to RISE UP and UNITE AS CHRISTIANS, and finally take to heart and make priority God's divine CALL to AMERICA which is exactly what the great President Ronald Reagan repeatedly spoke, in fact prophesied, to this country from his open Bible in his 8 years in office: "IF My people who are called by My name, humble themselves and pray, and Seek My Face, and turn from their wicked ways, THEN I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin, and heal their land." [ 2 Chronicles 7:14 > *Reagan's Mother's 'favorite verse' ]
Although America's greatness as a super-power 'govern- mentally' is behind us, America's next and final great-
ness will be spiritual and unmatched in world history. The narrowing time left of End Time things today means that the coming 'healing' of America's 'land' is now coming to its people, spiritually, starting with repentance.
Ideally, God is willing that America's entire body of 300 million Americans, including government leaders, would hear His voice and embrace His Son and then go out carrying the Gospel to the remotest parts of the earth declaring Christ's Nearness and soon Return.
But, what is 100% certain and is approaching quickly now for God's people in America who serve Him and hear His voice in today's End Times is that the Spirit-filled body of Christ is about to be lifted up as the LAST SHINING spiritual 'nation' on earth, the world's last true testimony of Christ. In America, the body of Christ is about to become a powerful, God-chosen 'nation' within a nation. [ 'a holy nation' / 1 Peter 2:9 ]
That 'shining city on a hill' which President Reagan had 'dreamed of for America' of which he repeatedly spoke of
was foretold scripturally for the End Time body of Christ and is about to come to pass, and globally.
In the coming awesome times ahead He will lift His final 'nation' of Spirit- filled children up in America and world- wide to His own glory and mightier and more united than any other earthly nation in history. After that and at the coming highest peak point possible spiritually within the global body of Christ, we believers who are ready will be instantly translated into God's presence to 'meet the Lord in the air'. [1Thess 4:16,17]
All of what has been elaborated in detail here was summed up by the Lord Himself for today's End Time believers who are truly ready at His coming saying, 'When these things begin to take place, then straighten your heads and Look up! Because your Redeemer is drawing near !' [Luke 21:28]
