Sunday marked the 10th anniversary of the Lisbon Treaty which essentially made the EU what it is today (see 10th Anniversary of the Lisbon Treaty). While many see a lot of good in that, others have concerns. Eventually, the Bible shows that Europe will reorganize (Revelation 17:12-13) and its military successes (cf. Daniel 11:39-43) will amaze the world (cf. Revelation 13:3-4).
The government of the UK has acknowledged that the European Union will prevent it from accessing certain military-related aspects of the EU’s Galileo satellite system (see UK denied access to military features of Galileo). Galileo is a communications’ system that the EU hopes to have live in 2020. The USA did not want the EU to develop it because of reasons of national defense, but the project continues to move forward. Technology will likely be how the future European Beast power will be able to conquer the USA (Daniel 11:39) and UK (cf. Isaiah 17:3) and cause the world to marvel (cf. Revelation 13:1-4).
US President Donald Trump announced tariffs on steel from Argentina and Brazil (see Donald Trump announces tariffs against Argentina and Brazil: Does he not realize that he is pressuring them to better align with Europe?), plus he threatened more against France. Europe, itself, is concerned about Donald Trump (see Europe concerned about Donald Trump). One of the unintended consequences of Donald Trump’s polices will be to drive many of the Latin American nations closer to Europe for trade, and ultimately to fulfill what is prophesied in Ezekiel 27.
