Bitter Roots

As predicted, there were four Gentile superpowers: Babylon, the Medes and Persians, greek-Macedonian, and Rome (Dan. 2:31-45). These are the roots Europe would do well to research!

Nebuchadnezzar, the first leader of this series of human governments, had a most impressive and perplexing dream. This was not a normal dream flight of fancy or imagination - it was a prophetic message of God!

But none of the king's priests or pagan magicians could tell him what he was going on! They do not have a clue or represent God! Since "Neb" saw they were on the payroll at all, just wasting his time and taking up space, sentenced them to death! They stood exposed as worthless charlatans, left in turmoil boots! But God had saved the day and spared them all.

God spoke to Daniel, a prisoner in the palace, and used him to clarify what the nightmare meant. This jew ambassador disclaimed any extraordinary credentials, but attributed his God-given understanding of the God of Israel. He has testified before the king and his court, that the Most High God far transcends the pagan superstitions! He continued to offer the inspired explanation.

The King had seen this monstrous statue of a man, with different parts of the body, composed of different materials. Daniel interpreted the "members" as representative of successive governments. Each kingdom had its own characteristics and reflect the arrangement of their sovereign. Several men are made of different temper! Each emperor would leave his mark on history. Just as the great statue had two legs, down-time sequence of human agony of misrule, the original Roman empire was broken in two - between east and west. Power was divided between Rome and Constantinople.

After Rome fell (in 476), is the spirit was determined to become ten times, seven under the influence of the Catholic Church. The three former entities of the Germanic tribes (Ostrogoths, Vandals, and Heruli) embodies the form of Roman government, but they were Arian kings - not Catholic or Italian (Dan. 8:24). Justinian's "Imperial Restoration", in AD 554, healed wound Rome "death" inflicted by these barbarian invaders (Rev. 13:3), and Italy exorcised of its foreign occupation. Lasted, as foretold, for 1260 years.

In 800 AD, Charlemagne was crowned emperor Romanorum, an "heir" of the Western Roman Empire. He was really considered the "King Father of Europe". It 'was this Christian Caesar who firmly established the "ideal" of a single Christian empire in the heart of Europe and the mind.

In 962, Otto the Great "Holy Roman Empire of German Nation" conjured up images of the empire of Charlemagne. Germany became the new power center, the heart and soul of the Roman Empire. After all, was their king, throughout the Middle Ages, who held an iron grip on the imperial title. Were the "Protector of Europe".

In early 1500, Charles V dedicated himself to reconstruct the Gothic style of union between Church and State. He wanted to bring back (from the dead) a coalition of nations that retain their identity but share a common faith. Even if your project does not go ashore, or his dream house materialize, its grand design attracted the imagination of others.

Dr. Habsburg, his descendant, has predicted: "Our generation will find its inspiration in historical concepts last embodied in the person, mind and political views of Charles V. ... because he represents an eternal ideal, the Emperor (Charles V) ... is still alive among us - not only as our European ancestors, but as a guide towards the centuries to come. " Can not you feel his "presence" in the middle of the pope?

Napoleon considered himself Caesar's heir apparent. Initially, during a pilgrimage to the tomb of Charlemagne, he intoned: "There will be no peace in Europe until the whole continent is under a king, an emperor Whose chief officers are kings, whose generals are now sovereign."

This vision for European unity and peace is seen. Napoleon did have a preview? Later, unable to achieve its grand design, complained: "I wanted to find a European, a European code of laws, a European judiciary. There was but one people throughout Europe."

Mussolini dreamed of a modern version of the Roman Empire. To achieve that, he started his business by leveraging the Vatican. After restoring the honor of Italy defeated Ethiopia, said a "Roman triumph" and proclaimed "the reappearance of the empire on the fateful hills of Rome." His empire was almost non-existent sixth prophesied resurrection of Rome. (Rev 17:11).

In October 1936, the "Rome-Berlin Axis", marked the fate of Italy with that of Germany's Third Reich. Hitler (also in possession of a concordat with the Vatican) saw himself as destined to bring a great Empire. His mountain fortress in Obersalzberg offered him a magnificent view of Untersberg. Within this mountain, legend whispered, Charlemagne still slept - waiting for his day to resurrect and restore the glory of Germany! The Leader reminded visitors, "It is no coincidence that I have my residence opposite." The restless Roman spirit refuses to die!

The final conflict

We arrived at the end of the road: EUROPE'S FINAL AGREEMENT is taking place now! And all prompted by the pope and eager politicians! The ten toes of Nebuchadnezzar's image, referring to 10 kings, consistent with this copy of "Holy Roman Empire." It will also rich and poor countries, and consists of two elements and weaknesses, but not stay together for long (Dan. 2:43). They do not share the right chemistry!

Dream of Rome will become our nightmare! This seventh resurrection will be responsible for the nuclear fires prophesied to sear the earth (Isaiah 24:6)! And the campaign promises of peace and security will quickly be broken! EUROPE'S preparation for war! the last trumpet of Europe is near! Will attempt to fight Christ at his coming, but they are fighting for a lost cause (Rev 17:12-14)! Jesus will lead a brilliant campaign (Hab. 3.11) to break the government monopoly on Hello world!

lightning of Christ will be a smashing success! He'll take the reins of human governments and rule supreme (Rev. 11:15)! Israel will be restored as a superpower!

Gentile authorities will pay homage to our God and King, and to recognize Israel as an instrument of God At the time, will realize an evil spirit had brought them and that Rome was his capital of confusion. Will be destroyed, never to rise again! Babylon has fallen! Babylon has fallen (Rev. 18:2)!
