The People Of The Prince To Come…Are Calling For Him

“...and the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.”

Daniel 9:26b

What if the stagnant economies and frustration over the ongoing Ukrainian war with Russia forced Europe to consider drastic measures? What if behind the scenes was a mechanism built into the EU constitution that allowed an all-powerful leader to rise up with dictatorial powers and usurp all the sovereignty of the individual EU nations? What if that leader was granted total power over the economies of all of Europe and was made the final authority over a newly created EU military? And what if all this was made possible by a little-known instrument built into the EU founding documents known as “Recommendation 666”?

Author's note: The hyperlinked website copies the verbiage, but there are no more credible (or accessible) links for the actual WEU document. Also, can't validate anything else on the site.

Well… this isn’t a hypothetical possibility or an imaginary “what if” scenario. It is a real situation that may be unfolding in the area of the old western Roman Empire and it may be the beginning of the Rise of the Antichrist! 

PERSIA  539 BC…

The Prophet Daniel is getting more revelation from the Angel Gabriel than he bargained for. Daniel knows the 70 years of captivity that his people have been sentenced to by the God of Heaven should be about over. After Babylon Ransacked the Southern Israeli Kingdom and took them into exile, Jeremiah’s prophesy was fulfilled and the countdown to National restoration was ticking. Daniel knew it was about time for the exile to end so he began praying for the Lord’s forgiveness and for the return of his people to their Promised land. 

But Gabriel showed him something far further down the road that proved shocking and bewildering to Daniel. 

Gabriel tells Daniel that there will be a proclamation by a king to let the people return and rebuild the city of Jerusalem which is exactly what Daniel has been longing to hear …But Gabriel doesn’t stop there. He continues to explain that the moment the proclamation is issued … a divine hourglass will begin a 483-year countdown that will be consummated when the Messiah is revealed and then abruptly killed. Then at some point beyond that time, there will be a ruler who will utterly destroy Jerusalem and the Temple and scatter the people abroad once again. The people who belong to this ruler will be the same ones who will ultimately fulfill the final part of this prophecy. 

Gabriel continues by telling Daniel that further along in time, a prince will come from the same people who are destined to destroy the Temple and Jerusalem and he will establish a covenant of death for seven final years with the Israeli people. Only the Lord will be able to save the children of Abraham when that day comes. 

Daniel is troubled by this news but not able to fully grasp its meaning. 

THE TEMPLE MOUNT April 14, 70 AD

The Roman troops are in the process of completely dismantling Harold’s fabulous temple, stone by stone. Thirty-seven years earlier the Messiah, Jesus of Nazereth, had been revealed as the rightful heir to the Jewish throne but had been rejected and killed exactly 483 years after Artaxerxes proclamation to rebuild the city of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 2). The prophecy Gabriel had given to Daniel had been fulfilled to the letter but at that exact moment, God had halted His prophetic stopwatch until some time in the future when the final seven years of the prophecy would be completed. 

As the troops continue to level the city and temple, the words of Jesus are literally fulfilled before the horrified eyes of many of the Jews who heard him proclaim them :

 “Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” Matthew 24:1-2

The great city and nation of God’s people will lay in ruins for the next two millennia and the sons of Abraham will be scattered across the Middle East, across Europe, and across the globe until their bones come back together as a nation in 1948 fulfilling in part, Ezekiel 37. But on this tragic day at the Temple Mount, the echo of Gabriel’s words about that final seven years surely is ringing in the ears of a few onlookers. They now know one thing for sure and it is this: That great prince who will arise and confirm a Covenant of Death with the Jewish people somewhere in the future will come from these same people who are destroying Jerusalem today. The Prince will

come from Rome!

The Isle of Patmos 90 AD…

The Apostle John is receiving a Revelation that sounds familiar. In his prophetic vision he is witnessing the rise of the Antichrist and the language used to describe the final global dictator sounds very similar to words he remembers Daniel using six centuries earlier to describe the same Man of Sin in a dream:

“The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.  It was given the power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation.  All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world” Rev 13:5-8 

Daniel’s description of this satanic ascension to Global power sounded almost the same:

“After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.” 

“While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully.” Dan 7:7-8

Both visions make two things quite evident. The Antichrist will be a single sovereign voice of global rule who will hate God and elevate himself to God-like status. And He will have an all-powerful army that no one will be able you make war against and he will use it to enforce his wicked agenda!

EUROPE CALLING 

In mid-February, an interview with Volodymyr Zelensky (leader of Ukraine) revealed an attitude that may be growing in popularity throughout Europe. Zelensky put out a call for Europe to finally unite behind one voice and establish its own unified EU army. 

“Many, many leaders have talked about a Europe that needs its own military and army. An army of Europe. And I really believe the time has come, the armed forces of Europe must be created."

He said a European army — which would include Ukraine — was necessary so that the continent's "future depends only on Europeans — and decisions about Europeans are made in Europe."

He continued: "Does America need Europe as a market? Yes. But as an ally? I don’t know. For the answer to be yes, Europe needs a single voice, not a dozen different ones." -Newsmax

Hmmm…. What may be we be witnessing here?

Back in 1961, the late J Dwight Pentecost who was a theologian and teacher of eschatology said this in his understanding of the role of the EU in bringing the Antichrist onto the world stage: 

“The time will come when the nations of Europe will say to one man,

‘You take authority over us’”

Is that time upon us now ? 

RECENT HISTORY OF EU UNIFICATION 

The Treaty of Amsterdam was an agreement signed in 1999 that changed the European Union (EU) in preparation for new member countries. The treaty also made the EU's decision-making process more transparent. But the most important thing the treaty did was create the position of “EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy.”

The treaty was signed in Amsterdam on October 2, 1999.  It entered into force on May 1, 1999, after being ratified by all member states. 

The power behind the EU unification process was a group known as the WEU which was made up of ten Western European nations that just happened to reside in the mainland of the old Roman Empire. The nations of Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom made up this block and although the Western European Union (WEU) has been defunct as a body since 2011, its influence can still be felt in the procedural dynamics of how the EU works today. 

Herb Peters chronicled a lot of this in his highly interesting online book “Recommendation 666” back in the early 2000s. He gave his book that name after the Ten Western European Union powers known as the Brussels Treaty Powers brought forth a document in 1999 filed as # A/1689.3 which was titled Recommendation 666. 

Within the document, the WEU made a recommendation to consolidate the powers of the highest offices in the new EU into one man and give him dictatorial powers in the case of emergencies. 

It also endorsed the Position of “High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy” which could possibly usurp and merge with the powers of other offices in emergency situations to give total European sovereign control to one man. 

It is very possible that this document may still be enforceable within the EU’s guiding documents and that the ten WEU nations still maintain some underlying power today in a European crisis situation. Included in that possibility is the likelihood that Recommendation 666 could be used to make Zelensky’s dream of “One Voice” speaking for all of Europe …a reality.  

SO TO SUMMARIZE …

According to the divine timeline that Gabriel gave Daniel, there is one seven-year period left to finish human government history and those seven years are what prophecy watchers know as the Tribulation period. It will commence with a covenant between Israel and “The Many” (Dan 9:27) orchestrated by a coming “Prince” or global ruler. This man will be from the same people who destroyed Israel in 70 AD and we know those people were legions from the Roman Empire. Therefore, a logical conclusion based on a straightforward reading of the passage indicates this final ruler must rise from Europe.  

We know from Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 that the Antichrist will arise as a “single voice” with the authority to govern a unified people and the power to enforce his decisions on anyone who would dare resist him. He will be blasphemous and haughty and will consider himself the god of the people. His might and military power will be unmatched so that no one on earth will be able to successfully make war against him. He will ultimately trample the earth with his mighty war machine. 

Now, after thousands of years of European nations warring to conquer and control each other, we have a unified Europe that has merged with a common currency under the banner of The European Union. They have a hidden mechanism in their founding documents to supercharge their “ EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy” position into an all-powerful governmental head position with dictatorial sovereign powers to command all of Europe in an emergency situation. And the document they used to grant those powers is buried in the archives of a now defunct “Western European Union” group who still have huge sway in the “behind closed doors” inner workings of the European Union. 

And … to make things quite intriguing, to say the least …. we now have a European leader whose country has been mired in war for four years, Volodymyr Zelensky, calling for Europe to elevate “One Voice” to the top of the EU command chain and give that “one voice” control of a new EU military. What was it J. Dwight Pentecost said? “The time will Come when the nations of Europe will say to one man, ‘You take authority over us’”

It’s looking like that time may well be at hand! 

CONCLUSION 

God’s timing is always fine-tuned to perfection. What humanity likes to call “coincidence” or “irony” is just the divine act of providence playing out the predetermined ends according to God’s plan. But isn’t it amazing that at this exact moment in history when we are in the midst of a “Last Trump” presidential term and we have Israel as perhaps the most watched nation in the world over the last 18 months, we also have a call to create an EU military and to elevate one man to an-powerful position over the affairs of the Old Roman Empire? 

As if there aren’t already enough dominos lining up for the Biblical Tribulation period to seem right on the horizon with AI /Mark of the Beast technology in the daily headlines and “Peace in the Middle East” talk on everyone’s tongues, now a potential “Prince of Europe” may be about to be unveiled as well. The prophetic signs just seem to keep coming at breakneck speed. 

God is giving us every blinking sign we could imagine announcing the soon return of His Son and He is doing it by unlocking His prophecies one by one to show us the time is near. No, they won’t all come together like a completed jigsaw puzzle until after the Rapture takes place but the picture looks to be almost complete even now, and there are only a few stray pieces yet to collect and put in place before the final masterpiece is completely revealed. 

The Tribulation period kicks off with the signing of a Covenent for Israel that will be confirmed in some way by the Antichrist himself. We already see the world clamoring for peace in the Middle East region and President Trump is deeply interested in helping negotiate a deal to finally end the non-stop killing and chaos in that area of the world. If interest is growing so high to find a solution this side of the Rapture,  we know the Son of Perdition can’t be far from appearing on the scene once the Church is removed. 

Europe is growing weary from Ukraine’s four year war with Russia and their unhealthy energy dependence supplied by nations in unstable areas of the globe. Their economic woes and their little brother-like dependence on American leadership are teetering in many ways and they seem restless to break free of their vulnerable defenseless status. What they need is true unity and not just a common currency. They need one powerful man to take charge like Donald Trump is doing across the pond.

They need a unified military that can allow them to be feared in the world and not just a few token peacekeepers to send abroad in a crisis. What they need is exactly what Zelensky is calling for…an all-powerful single voice!

It appears Europe is about ready to make the call and bring their home-grown savior onto the scene. Two thousand years ago it was the Romans who officially nailed the Son of God to a Cross. Two millennia later, they are about to summon the son of Satan …to their throne! 

 “We do not need another committee. We have too many already. What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all people, and to lift us out of the economic morass into which we are sinking. Send us such a man and be he god or devil, we will receive him.”

-Paul Henri Spaak (Former Belgium PM )
