Quoted:
NATO was formed at the end of WWII to keep another European beast from rearing its head with Germany at the reigns.  Now the latest EU meeting in Brussels (though it failed) signals that it's gonna happen again.  Germany has had it's eye on leading the EU since its beginnings and has been vying for power.  France will bow to Germany once again and so will most other Europen countries. Read some pre-WWI and WWII history and you will recognize what is currently setting the stage for Germany to head the EU.
The EU has somewhat come together economically and is in the last phase of coming together politically. Coming together militarily will be its final phase.

I believe that WWIII or the next SHTF will be a result of the EU's military power enforcing their politics against us concerning our involvement with Israel and the Middle East in general. Oil will probably be the big subject including the religious issues that we align with (Isreal).

BIBLE SPOILERS: The Beast powers described in the Bible were always in the continent of Europe; [I]Babylon, Medo-Persian Empire, Graeco-Macedonian Empire, Rome, [/I]then the final one which I believe will be the EU (they follow suit).
The European unions latest meeting that failed miserably easily represents the feet of iron and clay:  their composition can barely mix and is unstable, but they will be strong like iron when it comes to warring.  Think about it…what union would be the hardest to bring together?  Europe!  It’s comprised of countries that are entirely different in language, culture, heritage, history and each one has it’s own politics and money!  They will come together eventually, but they won’t last long, and during that time they'll bring the world to war again.
Except this time everyone has nukes and horrible chem./bio weapons.

 Well you do remember what was said when Germany re-united in the early 90`s?

If anyone has any objections to this union speak now, or forever hold your piece in the ready postion with the safety off!!

Quoted:


You’re thinking of Europe’s boundaries in today’s world.  Each of those world-ruling empires was built upon the latter.  If you look at the progression of those empires you see a migration that just about encompasses Europe.  The Roman Empire stretched its boarders all the way into Scotland, though they couldn’t defeat the inhabitants, and it was about the time the Empire fell.

It makes sense that the next beast power will comprise all of Europe.  It will ultimately consist of 10 major players (kings-governments) for a little while.  There are more than 10 nations in Europe at the moment, but look at how many major Gov's could fall in line with Germany at the head.

Won't be a problem.

Unlike the last time, the Poles will wipe 'em out if they even think of it [;D]

This is exactly why there should be a strict separation of politics and wacko superstitions.

Quoted:


This time the Poles will definately "Get Some"!!!
My 2 cousins are still in Germany.
Both are useless welfare sucking SOS's.
They are not exactly typical I suppose but from most accounts the work ethic in the lower and middle class is not what it used to be.
I doubt socialist Germany will have stomach for the hardships of war.

I don’t remember that quote but it doesn't surprise me.  Hitler came to power on the coattails of the Treaty of Versailles.  I think they'll do it again on the coattails of their unification.  
Too many people are dismissing this repeat of history. I dont know why.

Quoted:
The whole world will unite; europe along with Russia, Middle East, and China.  America (the eagle referred to in the Bible) will be the last ally of Israel, before we are destroyed.  The 300 million man army mentioned in the Bible will undoubtedly come from China.

Quoted:
That clause is supposed to keep government from making law that ENFORCES a NATIONAL state endorsed religion.  Even while the 10 commandments were in front of that courthouse...NO ONE was pushing or trying to make law that Christianity was the official US religion.

just tell me what the green party and the SPD are!

Quoted:
What horrifies me is how nutjobs read the bible and say, oh look here, that spot that looks like fly shit? That's God's command to go and smite Denmark! Let's go nuke the Tivoli! This goes for the koran as well, obviously. Fucking religious crackpot doomsayers. TS will HTF soon enough, there's absolutely no need to actually wish for and promote TEOTWAKI.

On a similar note, [b]liberty86[/b], do you even 'see' the United States in Revelation?

I don't.

Which leads me to believe that the United States is at the time, either insignificant enough to ignore, or just plain not there.
