"10 countries for a United States of Europe" "10 countries for a United States of Europe"-- so read a headline last week in Presseurope. "Ten EU foreign ministers participating in a 'study group for the future of Europe' aim to exert pressure to transform the EU into a federation along the lines of the US. Together they have prepared what the front-page headline in Die Presse describes as a 'Plan for transformation into a European state'" (Presseurope, June 20, 2012). This plan is to be presented at the EU summit at the end of June.
Source: CIA World Factbook The "study group," formed by German foreign minister Guido Westerwelle, "proposes to put an end to the dominance of national government leaders and give greater authority to the European Commission--in particular the European Commission president, who will be elected by universal suffrage and granted the right to form a 'governmental team', making him or her the most powerful politician in Europe" (ibid) (emphasis ours). "National competencies, most notably the management of borders, defence and public spending will be transferred to the federation, 'making membership of the euro irreversible'" (ibid).
What will Europe look like as it undergoes its metamorphosis and the "experiment" takes on a new shape? Writing almost 2,000 years ago, the Apostle John was given a vision of an end-time European Beast power. This power will consist of ten kings or kingdoms (possibly nations) that "have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast." They will be of "one mind," and "will give their power and authority to the beast" (Revelation 17:7-13). These ten are the same as the ten toes spoken of by the prophet Daniel (Daniel 2:33, 41-43).
It is not surprising that these ancient prophecies are coming alive today before our eyes. When Daniel explained the dream that God gave to Nebuchadnezzar, he said "The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure" (v. 45)!

In the recent Egyptian election, Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Mursi emerged the victor (Agence France-Presse, June 25, 2012). During the vote count, Egypt's Supreme Council of Armed Forces issued a declaration claiming for itself legislative power and control of the budget and the drafting of a new constitution in a move that some have characterized as a "complete coup" (BBC June 18, 2012; Telegraph, June 14, 2012).
However, the Muslim Brotherhood is now the largest party in the Egyptian parliament and apparently growing in influence (The Week , May 4, 2012). Several weeks ago, at a presidential rally, a popular Muslim cleric commented about what would happen if Mohammed Mursi were elected president: "Our capital shall not be Cairo, Mecca or Medina. It shall be Jerusalem with God's will. Our chants shall be: 'millions of martyrs will march towards Jerusalem'... The United States of the Arabs will be restored on the hands of that man [Mursi] and his supporters. The capital of the [Muslim] Caliphate will be Jerusalem with God's will... Yes, we will either pray in Jerusalem or we will be martyred there'" (emphasis ours). A video of this event aired on Egypt's religious Annas TV and went "viral" when it hit YouTube (Al Arabiya News , June 7, 2012). Mursi has since suggested that the longstanding peace agreement with Egypt and Israel be reconsidered in order to "build ties with Iran to 'create a strategic balance' in the Middle East" (Agence France-Presse , June 25, 2012).
These sobering comments may seem far-fetched, but they fit well with end-time Bible prophecy. The prophet Daniel foretold of a coming King of the South (apparently a combination of Arab states) that will attack a coming European Beast power (King of the North) which will ultimately overrun the King of the South. Egypt figures prominently in this prophecy and could be a catalyst that helps bring together this King of the South (Daniel 11:40-43).
The events we are witnessing in Egypt and across North Africa and the Middle East could bring about the fulfillment of these long-pondered prophecies. For more on this intriguing topic, please review our free booklet, The Middle East in Prophecy.
