The 10 Nations

Bible prophecy foretells a 10-nation military alliance that will rise out of a revived Roman Empire (the European Union) and will come under the control of the Antichrist (Daniel 7:23-24). Unknown to many Christians, a 10-nation military alliance appeared in Europe in 1995, called the Western European Union (or the Brussels Treaty Powers.)

These 10 nations are members of both NATO and the European Union. What binds them together is a mutual defense obligation under Article Five of the modified Brussels Treaty, which means that an attack against one is an attack against all. They hold the reins of Europe’s growing military. To learn more, read our Overview.

The 10 nations are: Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom

This chart is taken from the Assembly of the Western European Union Web site. Note that only 10 nations are full members and have voting rights.
