WHILE WE WERE OUT ENJOYING OUR TEA...
It may seem an odd image to you, this one, but it is nothing new. You see, the imagery is thousands of years old. The lady on the bull is a representation of an ancient Greek mythological image, Europa riding the Bull. The legend says that the daughter of a Phoenician king, a beautiful maiden named Europa, was out with her ladies in waiting by the shore enjoying the water, when along came a beautiful white bull. The ladies were so fascinated with him that Europa worked up the courage to ride him. When she climbed on, he took off and swam away with her! Or so the legend of the Greek historian, Morschus, goes. In fact, the bull was none other than Zeus, the king of all Greek gods. He took Europa away to the distant island of Crete, and supposedly raped her and thereby fathered several half-god, half-human children with her. Sort of like Hercules. She was later worshipped as a goddess, too.
But these pictures are recent, and are, from left to right, from a well-known German magazine, Der Spiegel, from Time Magazine , and the right hand photo of the statue was taken in Strasbourg, France, outside a headquarters building for the European Union. This woman riding the beast is their symbol of a united Europe. It is common in their sphere to see this image. It is even on a gigantic mural in the EU's Parliament Building, recently built in Brussels, Belgium. The woman carries a blue flag with 12 stars. There are now 12 Member States, none of whom is represented by a national leader, or "king". But little by little they are exerting tremendous power across Europe in every area, as they are lead by their president. On their website, we read:
In fact, this same image is also mentioned elsewhere, in a place that is about as far removed from the European Union as one can get. It is described in The Holy Bible like this, in the book of the Revelation, chapter 18:
1: And there came one of the seven angels
which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew
unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the
earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3: So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a
scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4: And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and
precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and
filthiness of her fornication:
5: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF
HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6: And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the
martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7: And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery
of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten
horns.
8: The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit,
and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not
written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast
that was, and is not, and yet is.
9: And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which
the woman sitteth.
10: And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come;
and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11: And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and
goeth into perdition.
12: And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as
yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13: These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14: These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord
of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and
faithful.
15: And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are
peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16: And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and
shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17: For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their
kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18: And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of
the earth.
Several things are vital to understanding this text, so read it carefully, won't you? You see, the Almighty God knew long, long ago that in the last days Europe would re-unite. In fact, the EU is a re-united part of the Roman Empire, of which Rome is the capitol. But notice who the harlot is: a city on seven hills, one which religiously has gone apostate away from simple worship of the Lord and unto traditions, errors, and heresy. At the very heart of Rome is the RCO. Constantine compromised the Roman Catholic Organization when he mixed Christian faith with the heathen teachings of the Babylonian cult. These were the guys who got together under a leader named Nimrod, forsook the true worship of God, and decided to build a tower "to reach heaven". They wished to be gods themselves and called their tower Babel. Today's RCO is not perfect, although it has some devout people. Apparently, the EU is going to use the RCO as its pawn, a religious masthead for awhile, then throw her away, devours her, kill her people.. That becomes her "judgement" predicted in Revelation 18, verse 1.
When God gave John the Revelator his prophecy in the book of Revelation, the "goddess" became a "whore", a highly political religion which becomes world wide, apostate, and sinful. In the later days of the EU, the leader will get so proud he will commit what God calls "The abomination that makes desolate" when he declares that HE IS GOD! When he does that, he and his group of leaders will "devour" the RCO, overthrow her and her dear people "in one hour", and declare the worship of "the beast" to be the true religion. That beast spoken of is none other than the President of the EU! At that time, there will be only 10 Member states total for a short time.
Right now, his name is Romano Prodi. Here are some pictures of Mr. Romano Prodi, from the Official EU website,
EUROPA.NET
He looks like a nice guy, doesn't he? He is said to be. Now, honestly, I doubt that Mr. Prodi is the one called "the beast". The beast will have thousands murdered because they serve the Lord God and will not take HIS MARK on their hand or forehead. Mr. Prodi is more likely to be that man's predecessor, since the Bible book of Daniel says that in the very last part of his reign, the one called "the beast" will overthrow several other leaders and have the throne for a short while.
But how weird it is to know that God gave us an accurate description of that last days kingdom, one represented by a woman riding a beast, one predicted thousands of years ago. It is a kingdom whose worship becomes false worship centering in Rome, a city who is saddling a terrible man, whom the Bible calls just that "The man of Sin". That symbol is even on the EU money, the new EURO that was issued to all the Member States of the EU in January of 2002. Notice that on these Euro coins from Greece, the woman on the beast is shown.
For sure, time is short, for JESUS IS COMING! Be ready, won't you? Call on Him today and pray this prayer,
"Lord Jesus, come into my heart. I am a sinner, Lord, so come in and forgive me and make me a new creation as you said in the Bible. I give you my life, Lord, and will serve none other from this time on. Thank you, God, for hearing my prayer.
In the name of Christ our Lord, Amen."
GOD BLESS AMERICA, THE HOME OF THE BRAVE AND THE FREE!
