The European Union faces a crisis this weekend, with a referendum in Italy and Austria re-running its presidential election. \u00a0But is the entire EU project doomed? \u00a0Is the heart of God against the EU just as he was against the antichrist Roman Empire? \u00a0If so, have\u00a0the Eurocrats been hiding their true intentions in plain sight?<\/p>\n

ITALIAN REFERENDUM<\/strong><\/p>\n

A vote against\u00a0the reforms proposed by Matteo Renzi, the Italian prime minister, could dent confidence in Italy’s banking system and spell disaster for the Euro<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0At the very least, it could sweep the Five Star Movement’s anti-EU leader\u00a0Beppe Grillo into power.<\/p>\n

\"Matteo<\/a>

Signor Renzi wants more power for whoever forms the ruling party, and Italians fear he, or someone in the future, could act like Il Duce of old.<\/p>\n

Commentators say there is also more than a whiff of the same anti-establishment feeling in the air<\/a><\/strong> which resulted in the Leave vote in Brexit and the election of Donald Trump (and, although he hates to admit it, the election as Labour leader of Jeremy Corbyn).<\/p>\n

AUSTRIAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a triumph for\u00a0Nobert Hofer, of the Freedom Party, could result in a referendum on Austria’s membership of the European Union.<\/p>\n

\"Norbert<\/a>
Norbert Hofer; the slogan roughly translates as ‘Austria, again and again.’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hofer is described by the BBC as ‘far-right’<\/a><\/strong>, although his opponent, the Green Party’s Alexander Van der Bellen, may be equally far-left. \u00a0If Herr Hofer wins, there would surely be demands for reform of the EU super-state.<\/p>\n

But does the EU need mere reform, as Mr Cameron famously proposed (although I was never sure whether he thought he had already achieved reforms or whether he thought he was going to secure reforms after a Remain vote in the Brexit referendum), or is the purpose of God for it to be broken up?<\/p>\n

EUROPA ON THE BULL<\/strong><\/p>\n

This spring,\u00a0I went to Brussels to look for a mythological woman who has become a symbol of Europe. \u00a0I found her outside the Justus Lipsius Building, which houses the EU council of Ministers (above). \u00a0She is also the subject of a statue in\u00a0Strasbourg (below) and her image is just about everywhere in the EU. \u00a0By placing Europa on the Bull all over the European Union, were the Eurocrats secretly telling us something about the destination and purpose of the EU, but doing so right out in the open? \u00a0And if I am right about what they propose for the people of Europe, wasn’t the result of the UK’s Brexit referendum a real token of the grace of God?<\/p>\n

\"Europa<\/a>

In the Greek myth, their top god Zeus became infatuated by Europa, a Phoenician princess. \u00a0He changed himself into a bull and enticed her onto his back. \u00a0Once she had sat upon him, he made off to Crete with her. \u00a0In Crete he changed back into his human form, flung the bull into the heavens, where it became the Taurus constellation, and raped her. Like Europa, are the people of Europe being lied to about the purpose of the trip and the eventual destination?<\/p>\n

EUROPA WRITING THE EU CONSTITUTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

The disturbing tale of the rape of Europa is all over the EU, not just in the statues outside the EU Parliament in Strasbourg and the Council of Ministers Building in Brussels.<\/p>\n

\"Europa<\/a>

Europa on the Bull has been on an Greek and an\u00a0Italian 2-Euro coin. \u00a0On the latter, she was writing\u00a0the EU’s failed constitution – how scary is that? \u00a0 Europa herself is on the ‘Europa’ series of banknotes and the Bull, with a bit of astrology thrown in, is on every EU residence permit.<\/p>\n

Going deeper, is there a parallel between Europa on the Bull and the Woman on the Beast of Revelation chapter 17? The woman, the whore, sits on the beast just as Europa sits on the bull. \u00a0She goes where the beast, or the bull, wants to go.<\/p>\n

The woman in Revelation 17 appears to be an earthly power (she personifies the Roman Empire of the time) and the beast seems to be a demonic spirit empowering her. \u00a0In the same way, Europa seems to personify Europe and its peoples, and the bull she is riding is the demonic spirit of Zeus, whose altar is referred to in Revelation 2:13 as Satan’s seat.<\/p>\n

I could go on, but it’s all in this short video (less than 4 minutes). \u00a0Click and see for yourself:<\/strong><\/p>\n
