Antichrist moves West to the 'New' World
The British Empire:

    Britannia rules the Seas:

 

“And he shall stand in the glorious land...” Dan. 11:16

Then … shall he stumble and fall, and not be found.Dan. 11:19

 

            The British Empire as a sign of the times is among the strongest evidence that the book of Daniel was not supposed be understood until the very end of days when travel, communication and knowledge would be increased to unfathomable proportions as it has been increasing over the last 200 years or so, and has reached mach speeds in the last two or three decades. Wherever lists of the signs of the times are being presented the sing of the British Empire’s rise and collapse invariably goes unnoticed in all, but the most astute lists. But Britain’s role as a scepter holder of the antichrist evolution of Imperial Rome has not always gone unnoticed by historians who have recognized that their colonization and imperial rule of the New World was Empire building in the Roman Way and Spirit, to the inth degree. She can lay hold to the boast that she was the first nation to truly have a Global Imperial Empire that stiffened off financial riches and held command or sway in just about every court or kingdom or government around the world. Surely, believers and objective observers of end-times prophecy will recognize the British Empire as the prophetic object of Daniel’s prophecy in chapter 11 verses 15-19. This truth, does not mean that anyone could understand this until these very last hours before Christ’s return. Believers were given fare warning by God’s Word that Daniel’s wisdom and understanding would not come clear until the very end.

            It is a sorry thing that so many teachers of prophecy still go along with the thread-bear interpretations of centuries past that, by their ridiculous insistence and trust in conventional tradition, stymie the understanding of Daniel as it is incrementally revealed, just as god said it would be.

            It has been assumed throughout the Church Age, without taking heed to Daniels’ last declaration that his words would not be understood until the end, that Daniel forecast the history of the world up to Rome and that by the time of the advent of Christ it was all history, and of no other prophetic nature until the last moments of this Age when the Antichrist himself would appear on the scene to do his final dastardly work. This is unfortunate dogma which still holds captive the ‘company line’ interpretation of Daniel in today’s Evangelical world. God is clear; He says in the book of Amos, “Surely, I will do nothing, except I first tell it to my servants the prophets.” Amos 3:6 How significant is this? A declaration of this magnitude pertains to things small, but especially to things as important to his plan of salvation as the history of the nations and the history of the Church, both of which could not be told except by prophetic means. Consider that the last book of the Bible was written two thousand years prior to all the things God would do for these past two thousand years. That means if he is to make good on his promise to keep us informed of all that he would do then He could only tell us about them by his prophecies in the Bible. (And He tells us that no prophecy is of private interpretation but is meant for all’ All gifts of prophecy must be in full conformance with what the word of prophecy says or it is to be tested and found wanting. This is one method of sifting out the Mary Baker Eddy’s, the Mother Ann’s of the Shakers, Jim Jones of Jonestown, and all of the false Christ’s, Messiahs and prophets which Christ said would be an on-going sing of the times throughout the Age of Grace.) Daniel is a prime place in which God has told us about the evolution of the Antichrist Empire and the crooked, circuitous course that the Church would take. It only makes sense that God has been exceedingly more thorough in divulging the course of world Empire and path of the Church than lazy teachers of prophecy have figured on. It is a mistake to not search and scrutinize by prayer the Scriptures, and to take the renderings of things that came forth from a time which God declared would be supernaturally devoid of understanding and therefore in need of great revision. If the reader can receive this prophecy of Daniel about the British Empire it will aid belief in the prophecy concerning the United States and especially, the prophecies of the Evil One who is fast approaching.

 

Father Britain

(As knowledge advances so technology advances, as technology advances so communication can advance which advances community which requires economy to grow which requires that all forms of economy: industry, money commerce, labor and consumption, also advance.)

           

            Hegel had rightly counted the British and her North American colonists as Germanic peoples. (11) The British (in which we now include the Scottish and Irish, who were Picts or Celts, and not strictly German stock, but were essentially Romanized by religion) were predominantly, Angles, Saxons, Scandinavian or Normans. All of these Teutonic Brits had been ‘Romanized’ by consent of and respect for Roman culture and law and by the same Roman Catholicism that had worked on their Germanic cousins on the continent. Probably 11th note on Hegel’s misguidance here) The primary motifs embedded in the necessary urban environment combined with the intrepid German spirit vaulted Britain into world supremacy. They had developed a sense of economy that was modern and invigorated by their community possibilities afforded by dominance of the seas and technology and industry.

            The British had a way of putting the nicest face on oppression and imperialism. They had well taken the lessons of diplomacy from their Roman ancestors preaching to the world that theirs was a mission of salvation and health for a colonial world to which it offered its firm protective hand, polite dignity and good grammar. Even if, as its American subjects were to find out, they were capable of barbaric and harsh methods to enforce their rule when need be.

            Britannia began its rise to world power by destroying the Spanish Armada in 1588 and finally took the helm of the West when Lord Nelson defeated Napoleon’s navy at Trafalgar 1805. Once the seas were entirely under her control the British Empire ruled the world’s economy and became lord of the West, until 1913 when the United States seized control of the Empire by an economic coupe which will be discussed in the next chapter. The British rolled back their empire in 1948 when it gave India its independence which heralded the end of its three hundred year colonial empire.

 

Father and predecessor of the Raiser of Taxes: ENGLAND - GREAT BRITAIN EMPIRE NOTES:

 

Herman Merivale in 1871 had called Britain “almost an empire, all but in name. ... By actual possession here and there; by quasi-territorial dominion, under treaties, in other places by great superiority of general commerce and the carrying trade everywhere, we have acquired an immense political influence in all that division of the world that lies between India and Japan” (The way the American Empire was established.) In the spirit of Roman diplomacy.

And England's’s Feudalism lasted into the twentieth century with its landed gentry and was the way it ran its colonies and expected its great commonwealth of nations to continue. Whenever there was a war it was a given that the vassal states of Australia, Canada, South Africa, India and the rest would come to the rescue. In times of peace they were to be ‘contributors’ to the father’s wealth and well-being by freely sharing its wealth with mother and fatherland.

But Britain was in no case content to settle for direct fiefdom it developed its great mercantile system and royal navy to enforce its tax and tariff plans and  a banking system which included the new and exciting invention of the ‘national’ debt, or borrowing and creating money that does not actually yet exist, in order to expand its wealth and buying power. The people were put into a new form of bondage although it gave the appearance of freedom, just as serfdom gave an impression of freedom from having to take care of one’s own needs or the responsibility to protect and insure one’s own safety and future.  

 

Handed Down from:

The World-Spirit (Hegel), Western Civilization Imperialism (History) or The Beast (Daniel).

 

By the time England took the reins of the Imperial West the fundamental motifs of imperialism were well established. The Greeks, Romans (remember that the Renaissance of the Italians was a rebirth of the classical age) and Germans (this includes the Franks [French]), had struggled through the Dark Ages into the enlightenment with the motifs of the West remaining in tack, and even progressing and evolving by a slow advance of technology in all fields of communal, civilized life. The advances are too many to mention, even during Medieval times when it was at one time believed that invention and progressed where almost wholly stifled by the black Plague and unenlightened monarchs and literacy confined to narrow minded clergy. The facts are that the important motifs were enhanced. Religion, western style, was emancipated as canon law became equivalent to the law of nations fashioned as it was after Roman law and the reforms of Justinian. Its temporal authority went unrivaled until after the thirty years war and then took some time to die wherever the Roman Pontiff held sway over the minds of a nation’s monarch. It was still the duty of Government to provide protection and to make goods ascertainable to the people and provide them with a promise of a better world in the future. The system of electorates in Germany and the Magna Charta in England had made it clear that Kings ruled not by divine right, but by the rule of an oligarchy, just as the governmental motif under Greek philosophy and politics, and Roman Law 18th Century. Though the political game between those seeking power was just as fierce as it was in the days when Xerxes was assassinated by his kids in his bed, the church, nobles and kings, and eventually the people all jockeyed for power. Knowledge and expansion with colonization for profit and the other motifs were about to be given the boost needed. The Italians had broken the ice and the French philosophs, men like Voltaire, Lavoise and Diderot unleashed the first installments of the enlightenment which in turn were picked up by the German philosophers and the analytical Scots like David Hume and Adam Smith.

            But Smith did his work well into the reign of England over the World-Spirit and it was to the Empire of Great Britain that it was given the development of the motif in its early stage to the United States for an economy fit for the emerging modern fast-paced hi-tech world.

     As deposer of Spanish, deposer of Napoleon and conqueror of the German Holy Roman power, Britain stood next in line ready to fill the shoes of the slumbering Roman Empire. The feet and toes of the Beast still remained clay and iron, partly weak and partly strong, and British supremacy as the Antichrist leader would be constantly challenged, until the bitter fruit of division finally burst forth in unprecedented fury with two World Wars during Britain's waning years. But that was as it was supposed to be; Britain's prophetic mission, though profound in many respects, was not to unite the Empire.

    Britain's prophetic mission was threefold. Ruling the Empire during a time of great change and upheaval, the accomplishment of its three major prophetic tasks set the stage for the new order of the End Times. First, Britain was used to tear down the old order of the Ottoman Empire in the South to make way for revival of the ancient empires of Egypt, Persia, Syria, Ethiopia, Libya, Saudi Arabia - and most importantly, Israel. Second, as the most remote part of the ancient Roman Empire the United Kingdom was used to baptize every remote corner of the globe with the spirit of Rome. Britain educated the masses of every continent in the hopes and humanism of "modern Rome", thus laying the groundwork for world government. And third - and most profound of all - Britain was used by God to reestablish a sovereign Jewish state in Israel after twenty-five hundred years.

 

 

 

            By the time of Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo, the British Empire already met the qualification of the bible for Antichrist leadership in the neo-Roman Empire by ruling the islands of the earth and holding sway over large holdings and alliances in all parts of the globe and on every habitable continent.

 

The Bible records the rise of the British Empire in this succinct prophecy in the book of Daniel:

 

            He [Britain as holder of the antichrist scepter] shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women [betray the Jews to the Arabs], corrupting her, but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.

            After this shall he turn his face toward the isles, and shall take many…

 

 

 As the entity of Antichrist and deposer of Napoleon and his conspiracy to take over the kingdom, unite it under his power and subject the world to his authority; Britain stood next in line ready to fill the shoes of the slumbering Roman Empire. The feet and toes of the Beast still remained clay and iron, partly weak and partly strong, and British supremacy as the Antichrist leader would be constantly challenged, until the bitter fruit of division finally burst forth in unprecedented fury with two World Wars during Britain's waning years. But that was as it was supposed to be; Britain's prophetic mission, though profound in many respects, was not to unite the Empire.

    Britain's prophetic mission was threefold. Ruling the Empire during a time of great change and upheaval, the accomplishment of its three major prophetic tasks set the stage for the new order of the End Times. First, Britain was used to tear down the old order of the Ottoman Empire in the South to make way for revival of the ancient empires of Egypt, Persia, Syria, Ethiopia, Libya, Saudi Arabia - and most importantly, Israel. Second, as the most remote part of the ancient Roman Empire the United Kingdom was used to baptize every remote corner of the globe with the spirit of Rome. Britain educated the masses of every continent in the hopes and humanism of "modern Rome", thus laying the groundwork for world government. And third - and most profound of all - Britain was used by God to reestablish a sovereign Jewish state in Israel after twenty-five hundred years.

    Daniel 11 records the history of the British Empire like this:

 

            So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.

            But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.

            He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her, but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.

            After this [then he will cut this off (because it failed)] shall he turn his face toward the isles, and shall take many [or, adhere or try to glue his kingdom back together]: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease In India]; without his own reproach he shall cause it turn upon him [the face saving withdrawal of Britain from India}.

            Then shall he turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found. (Dan. 11.15-19)

 

    By 1914, at the outbreak of World War I, the "Sick Man of Europe" was nothing more than a hollow shell waiting to be crushed like a rotten egg under the iron foot of the able and willing North. Britain and its allies descended on the Ottomans and as Daniel had promised, there was not "any strength to withstand". The six-hundred year old order of Ottoman rule was vanquished and by war's end the British and their allies had partitioned the empire according to ancient boundaries dividing them among themselves as the spoils of war. Syria, Iraq (Babylon), Iran (Persia), and Jordan were made into British and French protectorates, all trade routes and strategic waterways were placed under British control, and most critical of all, Palestine (Israel) was seized by Britain.

   

Britain Sails Rome Around the World

            In this last‑hour revival of the ancient countries we must remember to keep our eyes on Israel, who God has set among the nations as a beacon for all believers. Israel's revival shines as an unmistakable supernatural light signaling the end of the Time of the Gentiles.  The crooked circumstances of the British annexation of Israel and her double dealings with her shot forth the first gleaming rays of end times light. As the end of the First World War drew near, British armies under General George Allenby, meeting no resistance, entered the gates of Jerusalem on the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the last month of 1917 and hoisted the British flag over God's Holy  City. It was a banner day in prophecy not just because it signaled the beginning of the end but because it was the fulfillment of Daniel's words some 2,400 years earlier. According to Daniel's prophecy, the North had taken the strongholds of the South and had finally entered the "glorious land" with none standing before him. After centuries of frustration -through the Crusades, the attempts of the Russian Czars and Prussian Kaisers, through Hapsburg and Papal intrigues, and Napoleon's bold excursion to Egypt and the Middle East - the North had finally returned to claim the "Jewel of the Earth" for its own.

 

            So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there by any strength to withstand.

            But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed. (Dan. 11.15‑16)

 

    The very hour that British dragoons began marching through the ancient streets of Jerusalem Great Britain was at the zenith of its power. She would never be more powerful, this was her ultimate moment; and yet it also heralded the beginning of the end for her and the Gentile world which she represented. The spirit of Rome, imbued in the British Empire, had now infested every part of the world. The Far East was being colonized, indoctrinated, and exploited from China to India. In Africa, colonies flourished in the south and west, and the entire three thousand miles of the fertile Nile River, from Egypt in the north to Uganda in the south, belonged solely to the Empire. In the New World, Britain owned nearly every island and had a colony in Central and South America. Elsewhere in the New World, Canada remained a loyal member of the British Commonwealth as did her sister, Australia, in the Southern Hemisphere. Its former colony, the United States, remained a loyal member of the family, fighting and squabbling with her, but ready to defend the family pride against all outsiders. The Empire held every strategic base in the Mediterranean Sea and Persian Gulf with island fortresses that extended into the Indian Ocean, around to the China Sea, out into all parts of the Pacific Ocean, surrounding the South American continent, on up into the Atlantic Ocean and back home. What islands it did not control, and there were very, very few, its offspring did.

   

By 1922 Britain Had Completed Her Mission

            Map 10 provides a panorama of the Empire's magnitude better than words can describe. Here is the first truly global empire with tentacles that reach into the tinniest thread of every fabric of every culture and society everywhere. By 1922 Britain had all but accomplished its prophetic mission. It had destroyed the old Ottoman Empire and its order, making the way clear for the revival of the ancient nations; it had literally sailed the Roman Spirit into all the world; and as the acting King of the North it had taken possession of the Promised Land. After 1922 all that remained for Britain was to play out its role in the inevitable return of the Jews to the Promised Land.

    Immediately after the annexation of Palestine, God went to work setting in motion the wheels that would effect the return of the Jewish people to the Promised Land. Within months of the start of WW I, even before owning Palestine, the Empire began promising Zionist Jews that a Jewish state would be carved out somewhere in Palestine. Many powerful British politicians, including Prime Minister Lloyd George, claimed to be in favor of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The Balfour Declaration, proclaiming Britain's commitment to Zionist desires in Palestine, was signed and sealed by the British government three years before Palestine even fell into the North's hands. However Britain's commitment to a Jewish homeland in Palestine, loudly proclaimed in the Balfour Declaration, for all its righteous sounding words and promises, was nothing more than a cruel hoax. Thirty-one years later, and after Hitler's attempted genocide of the Jew, the British government was still hedging on its promise. Even after the wholesale slaughter of Jews during World War II, Jews who attempted to migrate from Europe to the Promised Land, Jews who had nowhere else to go, were denied entrance into the "British Protectorate". Instead of allowing immigration of these desperate fugitives, displaced by war and hatred, the British provincial government shipped them to internment camps on the island of Cyprus, camps that resembled in many ways the Nazi camps from which they had just been freed by allied troops.

     Britain cleverly twisted the ambiguous words of the Balfour Declaration consistently attempting to discourage God's people from making their way back to the Promised Land. Excusing their lies and betrayals in the name of peace, Britain maintained that they were a peace keeping force necessary for the "good" of all Palestine. But the broken promises only provoked an already desperate Jewish people. Though the British never honored the Balfour Declaration, the declaration did have a wonderful effect because it gave Jews with dreams of Israel reason to hope where there had never been hope before. When war and civil unrest finally broke out in Palestine the British stubbornly persisted in disregarding its promise to God's people and ignored the desperation of the homeless and hated Jews of Europe, but by then God's Spirit had ignited the Jewish people to look with a single eye toward Israel. As was written,

 

            He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do; and he shall give him the daughter of women [Israel], corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.

   

    The Empire had tried to corrupt the chosen daughter (Israel) by blocking her return home, or by giving the Jews of Palestine into the hands of the Arabs, or by persuading Jews to give up the idea all together. All the attempts to corrupt this great fulfillment of prophecy were nevertheless supernaturally thwarted by God, as God gave the Jews the boldness to defy the Empire and the world, and not "stand on his [Britain's] side".

 

Palestine Becomes Israel Again

            God's hand was on the Jews to persevere because the time had come. Finally, after wanderings and slavery, after living in ghettos and weathering the genocide of Hitler's Germany, finally, after thirty-one years of the broken promises of the Balfour Declaration, after World War I and World War II, a sovereign Jewish state was reestablished in the Promised Land in 1948. Miraculously, against all odds, the Jews prevailed. The British withdrew after the Zionist military campaign of bombing, harassment, and guerrilla warfare had cost them more than they could afford. Whole Arab populations, entire Palestinian towns, panicked and fled, leaving their homes and belongings behind just for the taking. As fireworks blazing in a night sky the end of the time of the Gentiles was exploding onto the prophetic scene. The British Empire's greatest historical purpose was to be used to open the way for the return of the Jews to Israel. To be sure it was against all Antichrist wishes and the Empire tried everything possible to avert its happening, but it was Providential. And, as all Antichrist empires before, Britain was used by God for his specific purpose and then judged. As Daniel had said.

    

            After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.

            Then shall he turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.'' (Dan. 11.18-19)

    

    After 1948 the British Empire went into an amazingly rapid decline. Within fifty years of the Balfour Declaration and Britain's hypocritical treatment of the Jew, the largest Empire ever known was cut by ninety per cent. The reproach of the Empire was stopped first by its withdrawal from Palestine and then like a house of cards with its key card pulled out from the bottom the whole Empire came tumbling down. In less than two decades an empire that had been built over three centuries just petered out.

   

For Nation Shall Rise Against Nation: The World Wars

 

            Take heed that no man deceive you.

            For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

            And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

            For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

 

            All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matt. 24.4‑8)

    

    Britain's reign as King of the North built to a climax with the two massive world wars of this century. In the time scheme of chapter 11 of Daniel, Britain's rule was to be followed closely by the actual Antichrist person and his Final Empire. Jesus himself told us the world wars would be "the beginning of sorrows". It is reasonable to believe that the reign of Britain and the rising of "nation against nation" are two prophetic signs of the end. Further, the First World War allowed Britain to accomplish its prophetic mission and the Second World War was used by God to drive the desperate Jewish people, many who would have otherwise stayed put, back to the Promised Land. In the end God used the world wars not only to fulfill prophecy, but to foil Satan's conspiracy to unite the Empire prematurely before the return of the Jews. God refused to allow any nation to dominate the empire and returned Europe to its prophetically necessary divided state with graphic clarity.

   

 

God Keeps Rome Divided After WW II

            In the post World War II world we have been schooled to view the conflict among nations as ideological and economic; the free world against totalitarian authority; communism and socialism against democracy and capitalism; but strong as the delusion is, this view of history will prove to be nothing more than the invention of Man's minuscule vision. God's assessments and judgments, unveiled in prophecy, expose the real truth and reveal the true reasons for history's sometimes strange twists. It is vital as we move into the study of present prophecy to keep in mind that God's word is the only true anchor for understanding the destiny of Man. His word reveals the cutting edge of the conflict of the Redemption Play, the true motivations behind governments and the actual goals of the combatants involved in the age old battle for rule of the world. Only God's word can expose the manipulation of spiritual powers and principalities and melt the great delusions that have been showered upon us.

    Post World War II Europe is an example of how history is best interpreted in the light of prophecy instead of the dim light of Man's imagination. God long ago declared in Daniel that until the end, when the cup of judgment is ready, the Roman Empire would remain divided, partly strong and partly weak. So for one extreme and final time God dramatically partitioned the Empire to show that prophecy, and not men's ideologies or gospels, rule the politics of the world.

           

Germany Literally Divided in Two

            World War II was a replay of the Napoleonic Wars. As with Napoleon, Satan was trying to rush the unification of the Roman Empire so he could prematurely set up the throne of the Antichrist, but this time God, in a dramatic show of prophecy's power, not only kept the Empire divided he partitioned the guilty nation (Germany) right down the middle, into two distinct parts: east and west. Hitler had been anointed by Satan in hopes of uniting the Empire before the Jews could return home. The Devil had seen the handwriting on the wall; the Zionist movement was gaining strength and he knew their return home was only a few short years away, so the Old Serpent used Hitler hoping to exterminate the Jews altogether that the promise of their return and their inheritance could never be fulfilled. 

     Using Germany, with its tradition as leader of the Holy Roman Empire, Satan and Hitler arrogantly set about to create their version of the prophesied millennial reign of Christ by setting up and proclaiming the "Thousand Year Reich" (the perfect rule of the perfect race for a thousand years). Typically, God used the up and coming successor to the throne of the North, the United States, and the ancient arm of judgment on the Roman Empire, Russia, to stop Satan's sinister plot. Just as God had used Persia to judge Babylon, and Greece to judge Persia, and Britain to judge Napoleon, so God used the United States to judge Hitler. And as God had used Russia in times past, in originally splitting the Roman Empire, in defeating Napoleon, and in contending against British mastery in Europe and Asia; so he used Russia again to defeat the unification plot. And to the victors went the spoils.

    The result of both World Wars was just the opposite of Satan's intentions. They had become the events that directly led to the return of the Jews to the Promised Land; they had confirmed the words of the true Christ. Hitler's end also prophesied of the Antichrist and his fate (Hitler shot himself in the head, the mortal wound associated with the Antichrist, and was then burned, the fate awaiting the Antichrist in the lake of fire) and the Empire was divided right down the middle; divided in such a way as to serve as a sure sign to all who seek to understand the world today in the light of prophecy, that prophecy is the ruling force of history. It is not economics, great men, ideologies, or fate, but prophecy.

    For forty years, after the end of World War II, the Empire remained in the throws of a "cold war", split into east and west. The offending nation Germany divided in two; its Capital city Berlin divided by an impassable wall of concrete and barbed wire which ran menacingly through its heart. World politics were the politics of power waged between the two "super powers", one from the East, one from the West. The division so distinct and strong that it was divided by an "Iron Curtain" of mistrust and belligerency.

 

Is Tearing Down of Berlin Wall Sign of the End?

            But now the wall in Berlin, after forty years, has dissolved like a mirage, miraculously torn down without rebellion or war. Is this a sign that the ancient prophecy of Daniel concerning the unity of the Beast at the very end is upon us? Simultaneously, Europe in a great, great miracle is uniting into the European Community of Nations beginning in 1992. Billing itself as 12 democracies working for a united Europe these Western European powers will share common borders, common currency and have a common government. Is this another sign that the Beast is coming together for the end time according to Daniel's prophecies? Prophetically the truth seems to be crystallizing. The Roman Empire has come full circle from the first time the Empire was divided into two parts, East and West, in A.D. 300 to a point where unity is at the doorstep. Surely, the end is drawing near. All that is needed to complete the full circle is Rome's unification by the unholy alliance of the Ten Kings and the appearance of the Antichrist so the Seventieth Week of Daniel can begin.
