I don't trust the EU.
They have been wishy washy for a long time. Consider the fact that individually they cannot compete with us economically, but together they can. You think they don't know that? These people view the world as their own piggy bank. It's pretty much all about money and power and who controls it. Always has been probably.
Beware the EU. Read the bible, it pretty much spells it out. The last beast.

Indeed. That also means he's waiting in the shadows right now.
Basically three major players. The beast, the anti-Christ and the false prophet.
The beast seems to represent a government, in this case, an amalgamation of the countries that were part of the old Roman Empire, we see that happening now. It's not like the other beasts in that it seems to be more of an economic empire, rather than a purely political one like in ancient times, when they just rolled in their armies and took over.
The anti-Christ has a couple possible meanings or interpretations. Against Christ is one. In place of, is another. So, one possibility could possibly involve Israel because to be honest, they are probably the most anti-Christ of anyone else in the world. The other possibility is the, in place of, definition, which I would suspect is the papacy. Or, it could be a combination of both, who knows.
I've recently considered that the false prophet could be Islam in general, think about it, who was Mohammad?
Now, view the prophetic scripts with this info in mind and see if it makes any sense. What is the anti-Christ going to pull off? Somehow, at least by most interpretations, he will allow the Jews to rebuild the temple, that means he is going to have to get the Moslems to go along with it. Who might have the ability to do that? You realize the Moslems are waiting for their Mahdi right? What if he is the false prophet? I suspect the papacy and Mahdi are going to work together with the anti-Christ and, "bring world peace," but it won't last long.
Then, all hell will literally break loose. At some point, Israel will be invaded and God Himself will step in and save them, but not because they have been such good little boys and girls, but because He made a promise and His name is on the deal, and God honors His promises.

I don't hate Jews or Muslims, but I believe what is written in the bible. I didn't write it. The pope is probably involved somehow, but I suspect it is the control center of the current beast, but I also suspect that at some point, they are going to strip her.
I'm not a Jesuit. I find it interesting that you only make unfounded accusations with nothing to back it up. Did I hit too close to home? I'm sure I don't have it exactly right, but I also don't think I'm far from the mark.
Cry some moar.
Israel is Babylon in a sense, or, at least, they are until they finally wake up to who the Messiah really was. Israel picked up some really bad habits while in Babylonian captivity. Of course, they already had some bad habits, which is why they went into captivity in the first place, but they will eventually see the light.
I think the reason satan still goes after Israel even though the Messiah has already come, is because he knows that Christ isn't going to return until they acknowledge Him, which they will eventually do, so satan is still trying to wipe them out to prevent that. Not going to happen. They WILL eventually figure it out, but they are going to pay a heavy price before they do.
They are being refined by God. Only the gold will be left, the dross will be smelted out.

LOL. Weak. You didn't even summarize it right. Well, believe what you want, but please, in the future, at least try to have your shit together before you ply your useless wares.
Yes and no. Do you get eternal life for serving Baal? Ishtar? Semmiramis and Tammuz? etc?

Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Mat 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Mat 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Just clarifying, because some people have different ideas on who, "God," is.
Bingo.
Hmmm.
