The EU Is Only A Part Of The Beast Kingdom But Not The Beast Kingdom Itself

 



While I would agree with The Trumpet Publication that the European Union is destined to grow in power, [1] where I dissent is with its claims that the foretold kingdom of the coming Anti-Christ is going to be headed by the European union.  The Trumpet publication is not the only source to have made this claim as many prophecy experts and teachers have also made this claim but a careful study of scripture shows us that this kingdom will not begin as an empire ruled by a single nation or kingdom but by a number of different nations and kings.
 
The Beast seen in the visions of both the prophet Daniel (Dan. 7) and the Apostle John (Rev. 13, 17) is representative of a kingdom divided amongst as many as ten different kings, each ruling over his respective kingdom and according to the prophet Daniel, this is how it begins (Dan. 2:33, 41-43 7:7, 23) and prophetically speaking, it should be no surprise  or wonder that there should arise a number of prominent and powerful nations of which this coming kingdom will consist but they will not be ruling over one another but will instead either be sharing power and ruling over the world as a type of global oligarchy or they will start out ruling independently of one another.
 
Already, for those of us who have been paying attention to current world events, we already see this kingdom taken shape and how it might quickly take on its foretold form; first with the European Union and then the Arab League and if we should see the rumoured proposal of the North African Union come to fruition, then we should expect a South African Union to quickly take shape as well and with that, we would already have four of the heads and their respective kings in place and if we are add the nations of Australia and Russia, that potentially brings us to six of the seven heads and six of the ten kings of which this kingdom is to consist as seen in the prophetic visions.  And if we should see the proposed North American Union transpire, that will be the seventh head with its respective king, at which point would just leave us with three more kings two of whom will merge with another king, thus completing the kingdom of the Beast described in scripture for in its final form, it is described as a beast with seven heads and ten horns; the heads being representative of certain nations and the horns being representative of those rulers over each respective nation though according to the prophet Daniel, this kingdom will start out as consisting of ten rulers each with his respective kingdom (Dan. 2:33, 41-43) and for those wondering why it is that the beast that is supposed to represent the coming kingdom out of whom the foretold Anti-Christ shall emerge has ten kings but only seven heads, the answer to this can only be concluded in that three of these ten kings or kingdoms will merge together as one and sharing power and it will be from this particular head and kingdom that the foretold Anti-Christ will arise. (Dan.  7:8, 24-25)
 
And if President Trump should succeed at not only purchasing the nation of Greenland but also annexing Canada, the proposed North American Union will essentially be official and if we should see that happen, it can only then be expected that we shall see most of the other nations merging with one another and forming similar unions in response.
 
And as for what I am about to say, make no mistake.  I do not believe that Trump’s reported desires to purchase Greenland and to possibly annex Canada are necessarily intended to forward an evil globalist agenda and I already covered that in a previous blogpost [2] but if this is done, then the U.S. need not ever be outright destroyed from without or within, but rather it may be that it will simply be made to silently disappear into the newly formed North American Union and into that coming one world government and regardless of what Trump’s intentions are insofar as his part is concerned, the coming New World Order, as many of us know, is nothing to be celebrated but a thing to be mourned as it will be a kingdom at enmity with the God who is maker of Heaven and earth and out of that coming kingdom will arise a figure who is called the Anti-Christ who will oppose and exalt himself against God Almighty (2 Thess. 2:3) and will go so far as to make himself out to be God (v. 4) but will in the end find himself and his kingdom destroyed by God (Dan. 7:11, 26, 2 Thess 2:8) who will then set up a Kingdom on the earth that will have no end. (Dan. 2:44, 7:10-14, 26-27, Rev. 19-22)
 
But what empowers that foretold kingdom of the coming Anti-Christ is that very same thing that will empower the coming Anti-Christ himself and that is a rejection of and rebellion against the Lord God Almighty (2 Thess. 2:7-12) who is the source of all life, light, truth, goodness, and holiness and it is empowered by people who take pleasure in evil instead of the things that are good, in the things of death instead of life, who love the darkness rather than the light, and who have no love of the truth and it is because they have not the love of God in them that they have no love for truth and it takes a surrender and devotion to our Creator to weaken and diminish the spirit behind that coming regime whose ruler will be the most evil person that this world has ever known because what gives the kingdom of the coming Anti-Christ its strength and power is anything but the truth because it will be built upon lies and deceit and by lies and deception will it assume power over the entire earth because the people of the world will choose to believe in a lie rather than the truth that comes from God just as in the beginning, the first man Adam and the first woman Eve chose to believe a lie which led them to commit a fateful transgression rather than heed the voice of God and that very lying voice that led them into disobeying a very important command which has from that day forth had serious and tragic ramifications for all of humanity and all of creation itself is that same lying voice who is behind the formation of that very kingdom that he is designing (Rev. 12-13) to take captive the souls of men and take them into an everlasting unending darkness separated from the God who made them and into eternal damnation filled with a never ending torment and even before the creation of this world, there has been an age-long war between God and this spirit behind the New World Order used to serve at the throne of God as a covering cherub called Lucifer until he became consumed with such pride that he thought he could make himself to be like God and even take for himself the glory that belonged to God alone and as a consequence, he and all who sided with him were cast from their places in Heaven. (Is. 14:11-21, Ezek. 28:12-19)
 
Afterwards, the Lord God created the universe and the earth and all that is in them; the sun, moon, stars, planets, and galaxies, and every creature of the water, every flying creature of the air, every animal both great and small, every plant and tree, and finally man himself (Gen. 1) and when God had created our world, it was a world in which no evil dwelt, but instead was a world in which there was only goodness, light, life, happiness, joy, and peace and in which existed a harmony between God, man, and nature.  And when God created man, he gave him dominion over all the earth and over every living thing (Gen. 1:26) but there was one thing withheld from him and that was a fruit from a certain tree called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, having been warned that in the day that they ate thereof, they would surely die (Gen. 2:16-17, 3:3) but Lucifer, now better known as Satan, who had lost his first battle with God in Heaven, in the form of a serpent, crept into the newly formed world (what he could not take by force, he would now take by subtlety) and caused the first man Adam and his wife Eve the first woman to commit that very transgression that would change the world from the good and perfect place that it had once been into what it presently is today; filled with sin, death, decay, evil, and every kind, sort, form, level, and degree of suffering and misery that there ever has been, could be, and will be and that very act that he caused them to do was to eat of that forbidden fruit of which God had warned them to not eat and he led them into that fateful act of disobedience by falsely assuring them that they would not surely die as they had been warned but that they would become as gods knowing good from evil (Gen. 3:4-5) and that was the very first known lie in history ever recorded and it is this very lie that made Satan the father of lies (Jn. 8:44) and believing the words of the serpent instead of heeding the warning of God, the first woman Eve and her husband Adam, the first man, ate of that forbidden fruit (Gen. 3:6) thinking that they would become more enlightened and superior in status but instead of receiving the wisdom that they thought they would receive, they only became enlightened to the shame of their nakedness (v. 7) for it was in the moment that they ate of that forbidden fruit that sin had entered into both of them and changed them from the inside out, but the more serious change that took place within them was that of their inward person having once been pure would now be corrupted by the sin that entered into them by way of eating that very fruit that they had been told not to eat from and as a consequence, the sentence of death was pronounced upon them as they had been warned (Gen. 3:19) and to which they eventually succumbed but the sentence of death did not end with them as the sentence of death was also passed down from them to all of mankind because we are all descended from them and by way of descent, we have inherited from Adam and Eve the sin that entered into them; sin not being merely confined to our actions or even what we say, but defined as the corrupted condition of our nature that we inherited from Adam and Eve (Rom. 5:12) into whom it first entered and it is a condition that does not just influence what we say and do but also defiles our thoughts, corrupts our motives, and darkens our hearts which is why it is written that we are not defiled by the things from without, but by what is from within (Mt. 15:11, 17-20) and it is that from within that causes us to sin and as a consequence, we are subjugated to death (Rom. 6:23) just as Adam and Eve became subject to death when by way of their transgression, sin entered into them and in causing Adam and Eve to commit the act of disobedience that caused sin to enter into them which brought upon them the sentence of death, Satan, through the lie that led them into that fateful act of disobedience, not only became the father of lies, he also became a murderer (Jn. 8:44) and not only of Adam and Eve but of every person who has ever been born, is born, and will be born into this world by way of the sin that entered into Adam and Eve which became that inwardly corrupted condition passed down from them to all of mankind and into which we are all born for it is in sin that death has its power and it is in all people in which sin dwells.  That which was intended to be immortal and live forever was now by way of sin made mortal and subject to death and not only that but the dominion over the earth (Gen. 1:26) that was initially given to man over the entire earth was diminished because that act of disobedience then gave Satan justification to claim lordship over the nations, peoples, and kingdoms of the world (Mt. 4:8-9, Lk. 4:6-7) which is why he is called the prince of this world (Jn. 12:31, 16:11) which then made him a thief (Jn. 10:10) because by causing Adam and Eve to disobey the commandment forbidding them from eating of the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Satan stole dominion from them and from all of mankind but the consequence of Adam’s disobedience were not just confined to mankind but also extended to all of creation by way of a curse brought upon it by the sin of man which is why it is written that the creation groans and travails in pain to this day (Rom. 8:19-22) which is why there is so much evil, suffering, and death in this world and it is the curse of sin that is subjugated creation to dying a very slow death and so not only is Satan, who caused Adam and Eve to eat of that forbidden fruit, a liar, murderer, and thief, but he is also a destroyer for by causing Adam and Eve to commit that one act of disobedience, he caused sin to enter into them which was then inherited by all of mankind who descend from them and by way of sin, he has caused everyone born into this world to eventually die, has stolen mankind dominion, and has brought a slow death upon creation thus making the father of lies also a thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy but not only is he a destroyer of lives and of creation, but worst of all, he is a destroyer of souls because sin separates us from our Creator who is sinless and holy and because we are all born into sin, we are all born estranged from our Creator and because sin taints, corrupts, perverts, twists, and destroys all that it touches, no one who is sin  can enter into the Kingdom of God in which there is no sin and there is nothing that we ourselves can do to cleanse our souls of the stain of sin; there is no amount of good works that can be done and no amount of religious rituals that can be performed that can take away our sins because our own merit will always fall short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23) because of sin ever present within us because our own merit, due to sin, will never meet what God requires of us in order to be given entry into His Kingdom and what God requires of each of us is moral perfection, meaning we would have to be perfect not just in our deeds and in our speech, but also in our thoughts, motives, and attitudes of the heart; all of which will be taken into account on the day that we stand before our Creator to answer for all that we have said and done in this life but God, in His love for us is not willing that any should perish but that would come to repentance (2 Pet 3:9) and in His love, He desires to show us mercy and grace, not judgment, wrath, and punishment which is why in His love and mercy He has provided redemption for us not by way of our own merit which falls short of perfection, but on the merit of one who is sinless (2 Cor. 5:21, Heb. 4:15) as He Himself is sinless and that is Jesus Christ our Lord who has been with God always and is Himself God (Jn. 1:1) having entered into the world as a man (Jn. 1:14) to take upon Himself the demanded penalty for all sin which He did through His death upon the cross on which He was crucified thereby purchasing redemption in His death through the shedding of His blood and after having died for our sins was raised again from the dead so that we by our faith in Him will be justified in Him (Rom. 4:25) if we will but call upon His name so that we might be saved from what would otherwise be a terrifying everlasting punishment if we will but call upon His name (Rom. 10:9, 13) and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead (Rom. 10:9) for it is by calling upon His name in sincere repentance that salvation is granted and our souls made clean from sin thereby liberating us from the threat of eternal damnation and with that cleansing comes a new spiritual transformation (2 Cor. 5:17) that causes us to no longer desire to follow after selfish and worldly pursuits but after those things that pertain to the Kingdom of Heaven,
to no longer take pleasure in those things that are evil and displeasing in the sight of the Lord, but in that which is good, right, and pleasing in His sight,
to no longer desire to walk in the lies of this present world, but only in the truth that comes from Christ Almighty, (Jn. 14:6) no longer placing our hopes in the things of this present world, but looking forward to that new and better world to come, (Rev. 21-22)
to no longer rely on worldly resources, men, or even our own power, abilities, skills, and wisdom for our needs and provision but upon God who is able to meet all of our needs, (Mt. 6:33) recognizing that the resources of this world and even the people He brings into our lives are but instruments and vessels through which God meets our needs and that the skills, power, knowledge, and wisdom by which we might acquire our provision are provided and instilled in us by God,
to no longer fear what men can do to us, but rather fearing the God before whom we will have to one day give an account for how we lived our lives, (Mt. 10:28)
to no longer look to corruptible institutions within our society for direction and order in our lives but to God who, by His written Word has given us laws and precepts to be applied to our lives and which serve to produce and maintain an ordered life, and who, by His Holy Spirit which comes to dwell within us upon repentance, establishes in our lives a course and direction in our lives to pursue for His glory,
to no longer seek our own glory but the glory of God,
to no longer rally behind corruptible men, but instead behind the incorruptible God in Heaven bearing in mind that those men and women God raises up for our edification are but instruments and servants of His for that respective purpose to which He has called them,
to no longer seek to align ourselves with the things of darkness but only with the things of the light,
to no longer trust in the wisdom of the world but only on the wisdom and knowledge that comes from above, (Jas. 1:5) nor depend on corruptible earthly authorities to swiftly administer justice, but only in the power of God to deliver us from evil.
 
And it is this new inward transformation that reconciles us to our Creator (2 Cor. 5:18) from whom we had once been estranged and just as our souls are cleansed from sin and our spirits regenerated in Christ Jesus thereby liberating us from the eternal tormenting punishment that must come upon all who remain in their sins and it is this very change, if received by enough people, that potentially can bring about a change for the better in entire households in the manner of how they are run and maintained, and from there, the nature and condition of entire neighborhoods, communities, states/provinces, and entire nations, which then will have an impact and an affect upon the course of the culture and society; how education is taught, how businesses and corporations are operated, how news is reported, the quality and nature of entertainment that is produced, and finally how politics and civic governance are conducted.
 
And just as we are spiritually redeemed in Christ through the forgiveness of sins, so one day we will also experience a bodily redemption by which we will also be liberated from the death of our bodies when our present forms which were born inherently corrupt and sinful are changed into that which is incorruptible and sinless (1 Cor. 15:51-55, 1 Thess. 4:13-18) and lastly, creation itself will be liberated when Satan is cast out of this world and is given his final sentence when he and all who have followed him are cast into everlasting perdition in which there is nothing to look forward to but everlasting torment and eternal separation from God Almighty, (Rev. 20:1-3, 10-15) and from the curse that came upon it because of sin when it is made anew and when it is made anew, there will be no sin, no death, no decay, no evil, and no suffering of any sort, but it will be a place in which there will dwell only peace, joy, and happiness before the Lord God Almighty. (Rev. 21-22)
 
One kingdom builds itself upon lies and deception that are academic, intellectual, informational, political, philosophical, ideological, religious, and theological and which are subject to change as needed and to which are added more lies and in which, even if one set of lies is discredited, another set of lies takes their place.
 
And then there is another Kingdom that builds itself on truth and a truth that engages and transcends the academic, the intellectual, informational, philosophical, ideological, religious, theological and political and which never changes but remains the same.  What is true in the past is true in the present and will be true in the future even if everything else is subject to change because the God who is the way, the truth and the life (Jn. 14:6) does not change (Mal. 3:6) but remains the same (Heb. 13:8) always; yesterday, today, and forever and what He has declared good and right in the past is still so today and will continue to be so in the future and what He has declared to be evil and sinful in the past, He declares to be so today and in the future.
 
We all have a choice as to whether or not we want to be a part of a kingdom built on lies and deception or a Kingdom built upon truth and which we choose determines not only the course of our lives but even the course of our very nation as well which brings me now to another errant made by The Trumpet which claims that the prophet Ezekiel foretold the demise of America citing the passage of Ezekiel 7:14 which states “They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready, but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof” but when we read the chapter in its entirety, we know that it is not America that Ezekiel is talking about, but it is about Israel before they were taken away into captivity by the Babylonians; an even already come and gone but this I will say, and I do not wish to see the demise of America any time soon, but how long the nation that we know endures really depends upon which kingdom its people choose to serve and if we choose to serve the Kingdom of God, then the days of America will be prolonged, but if we choose to serve the kingdom of Satan, then we cannot expect God to continue blessing a nation that persists in descending into spiritual darkness and moral decay and eventually we can only expect the nation to face eventual destruction from forces and powers from both without and within but if the nation is to return to the God upon whose principles and precepts it was founded, it does not begin with a prolific writer, dynamic political figure, an eloquent preacher, an internet influencer, a brilliant academic, nor a celebrity figure.
 
It begins with you and with me.
 
And for those of you who have not done so already and wish to be a part of a Kingdom built upon truth and if you have not done so already and would like to be a part of a Kingdom that is built upon nothing more than truth, then I urge you reader today to call upon the name of Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life (Jn. 14:6) for the forgiveness of sins.  It is but a simple sincere prayer of repentance away:
 
 
 
"Lord Jesus I need you.
 
 
I realize that I am a sinner
who has fallen short of the glory of God
and that my goodness falls short
of your standard of Moral perfection.
 
Please forgive me of all of my sins.
Come into my heart and into my life
to be the Savior and Lord of my life.
Make me into the servant and follower
that you want me to be.
In your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
 
 
Amen."
 
 
Know that God is not concerned with the words that you use to call upon Him forgiveness, but with the attitude of your heart and if you have, with all sincerity, have asked Christ to forgive you of your sins, placing your trust in Him only for your salvation and in nothing else, then your sins are forgiven and your place in Heaven is certain.
