The Lord Gave Us Signs

• In 1 Thessalonians 5 "Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they

will not escape. But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.”

Last week we talked about Daniel predicted Rome would be where the antichrist comes from. Further, the God tells us there will be ten leaders who come to power in the last days and give their power to

the antichrist….

The rise of the Antichrist or False Messiah (or ‘the Beast’)

Rev 17:12 "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings(Leaders) who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as

kings with the beast for one hour. Rev 17:13 "These have one purpose, and they give their power and

authority to the beast.

• There will be ten leaders (UN, EU, or maybe the literal geography of the ancient Roman Empire, the WEU!)

Notice the Antichrist comes to power from 10 kings who do not yet have a kingdom.

And they will only have authority for ‘one hour’. They will come to power for a short time in the last days and give their power to the antichrist.

They will also be part of the revived Rome – doing what the Roman Empire tried to do – to bring the

world under one government and to establish world peace. The Pax Romana.

There are two theories I want to explore today…

The UN Security Council has 15 members, but only 5 are permanent. All others serve for 2 years.

• January, 2011• France ,Permanent Member

• Russian Federation, Permanent Member • United Kingdom, Permanent Member• United States, Permanent Member

• China, Permanent Member

• Bosnia, Germany, Portugal, Brazil, India, South Africa, Colombia, Lebanon, Gabon, Nigeria

Those in yellow are either are part of prophecy not affiliated with Rome or play insignificant roles. Those in light blue could be the ten who bring in the false messiah –who give their power to the last world leader to make peace with Israel! Remember Babylon helps the

antichrist rise to power, but then are destroyed.

WEU framework was held in Rome on 26 and 27 October 1984. It was marked by the adoption of

the founding text of WEU’s reactivation: the "Rome Declaration".

• There were not 10 nations until 1995, when Greece was allowed to enter this alliance.

• Could the ten representatives from these nations (kings without a kingdom) be those that appoint the antichrist?

The Antichrist will come out of the Roman political system – The stage is set!

Daniel 9:26-27 “…, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the

sanctuary. …(27) "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week,

(the70th week of Daniel)

• The Romans did this in 70 AD. They are the ‘people of the prince to come – the false messiah).

• Daniel prophesied the great Roman Empire would, in the time of the end consist of ten nations (ten toes on the statue). It could be the WEU!

He will have authority for 3.5 years as the false messiah – a world leader that finally brings peace to the Middle east…

Rev 13:3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed

after the beast; Rev 13:4 they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the

beast, and who is able to wage war with him?" Rev 13:5 There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words

and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him.

• He will confirm the peace treaty that finally brings a pseudo peace in the Middle East:

• Dan 9:27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week (7 years)”

OK, we also know that the antichrist will have a number – 666.

There is such a global colapse of the economy, that this new world government institutes a ‘mark’ that…

Rev 13:16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on

their forehead, Rev 13:17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his

name. Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has

understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six

hundred and sixty-six. 666

• At no time in history has a mark ever been used as a means to buy and sell.

• Here we are given a preview of a cashless society• We are moving in that direction!

• Rev 14:9-12 Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, (10) he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. (11) "And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name." (12) Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.

Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a

man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

No one knows what this prophecy means.It could be we won’t know until he is on the scene.

However, let me give you one theory. What if the UN, the EU, or the WEU council produced a document entitled ‘666’, and, what if that document created a new position for a leader with lots of power – specifically the ability to make a peace treaty…

• That office would be referenced by the document number used to create it – 666

• Further, what if there were two documents or orders and both were numbered 666 and both gave power to that office?

General Report 1998 - Chapter V: Role of the Union in the worldSection 1: Common foreign and security policy (3/24) .

Document 666Document 666. In December the Vienna European Council expressed the opinion that the Secretary-General of the Council

and High Representative for the CFSP should be appointed as soon as possible and be a personality with a strong political profile.

That person – the first in this office, is Javier Solana.

There is another ‘666’ connection – 2 years later…

The 2nd document…

On June 5, 2000, the WEU adopted its Assembly Recommendation 666. This document recommended

keeping the 10 Brussels Treaty Powers together as the EU's new military wing and giving the EU's High Representative emergency giving the EU's High Representative emergency powerspowers. These are powers even the EU's president doesn't have.

• Source: Recommendation 666 http://www.assembly-weu.org/en/documents/sessions_ordinaires/txt/2000/jun00_txts_adopted.php#P51_3072

In June, 2011, the WEU is giving it’s power to the EU.

Part of recommendation 666 is how they will dissolve into the EU:

“Ensure that the function WEU currently fulfils as an essential element of the European Security and Defence Identity (ESDI) within the Atlantic Alliance is in

future fulfilled by the European Union's CESDP; Support efforts to set up flexible forms of closer cooperation in the framework

of the CFSP and CESDP that are not strictly limited to European Union member

states; Support proposals for the WEU Secretary-General and CFSP High Representative to preside over the PSC and civilian crisis-

management machinery and give him powers to convene the Council of the European Union in the event of an emergency; Propose to the European Union that it base its relationship with NATO on a

provision of the Treaty on European Union comparable with that of Article IV of the modified Brussels Treaty

Rev 17:12 "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet

received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.

Rev 17:13 "These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

So, the man who assumes this role from the WEU will be one of the most powerful men in the EU, and have the ability to convene the council in the event

of an emergency, and have power to confirm peace treaties!

Quote from the EU website on the Lisbon Treaty:High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy: The second new

job created under Lisbon. The powerful EU "foreign minister" will chair meetings of Foreign Affairs Ministers, oversee the multi-billion EU aid budget

and run the proposed European External Action Service - a European diplomatic corps.

One of the number one topics for this meeting of the EU in April of this year is peace in the middle east!

In June, 2011, we may see a major shift in the EU.

• The revived Roman Empire will consist of iron mixed with clay – a union but not very strong, and the 10 toes will come into power for a short time to give the false messiah the power he needs to ‘confirm a peace plan’ and rise to a diplomatic world leader.

So, in theory, let’s examine what we have:

The exact location of Rome made up of 10 nations.

They have come together and established an office for a man with enormous power (and the ability to confirm a peace treaty) in two

documents both numbered ‘666’

They were only in Power a short time and as the conclude their unique role in June, 2011, they will leave one man with the

authority in the EU to do what they have done.

• It seems exactly as the Bible predicted!

This is just another interesting theory regarding a Possible scenario for the revived Roman system, the 10 leaders, and the coming of the

antichrist.

Rome has indeed been revived…

And anytime the false messiah could confirm the treaty with Israel…

The First seal – the Antichrist

Matthew 24:3-5 As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" (4) And Jesus answered and said to them, "See to it that no one misleads you. (5) "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many.

1John 2:18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.

Revelation 6:1-2 Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, "Come." (2) I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

Dan 9:27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week” This will begin the 70th week of Daniel (the Tribulation).
