Another 666 Connection — What Herb Thinks

Yesterday I said something big may be going on in Europe. Well, as far as fulfillment of Bible prophecy is concerned, it may be bigger than I thought — it may be huge!

As I reported, all 25 heads of the current and future EU member states want their new, super EU to have its own military command structure. So, despite American objections, the EU heads are going ahead with their plans to create this structure at their Inter-governmental Conference in Rome.

When Tony Blair threw in British support for this plan, America reacted by calling an emergency meeting of NATO. However, it appears the EU’s military plans are going forward anyway and America will have to learn to live with it.

To understand what’s going on here in light of prophecy, I suggested a passage from the book of Daniel for our consideration. Daniel wrote:

And in his place a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred, but he will come in a time of tranquility and seize the kingdom by intrigue. And the overflowing forces will be flooded away before him and shattered, and also the prince of the covenant (Daniel 11:21-22 New American Standard Bible).

As I said yesterday, we have serious questions to consider. Are these overflowing forces that will be flooded away American-controlled NATO forces and assets? Are certain EU leaders attempting to gain control of NATO assets and undermine America’s leadership? And, are their actions being coordinated by the prior head of NATO who made this all possible, the EU’s first High Representative, Javier Solana?

If so, what can we expect to happen next? And now we come to today’s commentary. The following verse in Daniel may tell us where this is all leading. It says:

After an alliance is made with him he will practice deception, and he will go up (up to Jerusalem) and gain power with a small force of people (Daniel 11:23).

It actually looks like what’s going on in Europe may be headed in that direction. Consider this next report from Radio Free Europe about NATO discussing sending a small force of the willing into Israel. Read about it here.
