POLITICAL TURMOIL IN EUROPE AND AMERICA - CALL FOR THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST SOON? SIGNS OF THE TIMES
NEWS UPDATE - 11th June 2024
Everything is in turmoil right now. Whether you look at society in general, the
economy, the political world, nature, it is all in turmoil. And news of the so called 'far-right' gaining significant grounds in recent European elections has
brought the political scene in Europe into turmoil:
"Far-right gains in EU elections have sent the bloc into turmoil and triggered a political earthquake in France, with President Emmanuel Macron calling snap legislative polls in a high-risk move. Although centrist mainstream parties kept an overall majority in the European Parliament, preliminary results of the vote sent Europe's stock markets and the euro sliding." (source)
On top of this we have the turmoil of the elections in America this year, with Donald Trump being convicted in his recent (scam?) trial, which is going to cause more turmoil as this year proceeds. More and more people are getting so fed up of the way governments are run these days, which has an interesting connection with the prophecy of Revelation 13 regarding the image of the beast. Look at what it says:
Revelation 13:14 ...'saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.'
The first beast is Papal Rome and the second beast is America. Notice verse 14 tells us that the people of the earth are told to make an image of the first beast (Papal Rome). That image being a church-state union with the church directing the affairs of the state. So the image of the beast will be a demand of the populace, led by America. Now many people around the world are so fed up of the way things are going currently that they will be crying out for change! Many are already decrying the moral degeneracy of society, and are calling for a return to morals and a return to 'Christian values.' And so just as the populace in numerous countries are swinging to the 'right,' Revelation 13:14 will be fulfilled and the call to direct the state with 'Christian values' will be raised.
Just the other day, at a protest in London, UK, people were saying the only solution to the current problems is to return to Christianity ruling the nations! That is the prophesied image of the beast!
'Christian values' of most people in this world are in line with the Papal Church of Rome, not the Bible, like Sunday observance. And you only need to look at history to see what so called 'Christian' Papal rule led to. UN-Christian laws and persecution. But as Revelation 13 confirms, the image to the Papal beast (church ruling the state) will be formed and laws will be enacted which will ultimately serve the Roman Catholic Church (the first beast), not God. False signs and wonders will be displayed to make the world think this is of Jehovah, and sadly, most will fall for the lie, because they had not a love for the truth, which would have saved them (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10).
THE FINAL TEST IS COMING - WHOSE AUTHORITY WILL YOU SUBMIT TO?
