There are various calls for reorganization in Europe. Some hope France will leave the European Union (see French exit from the EU? How LCG and CCOG differ on FREXIT), whereas Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban wants Europe to embrace his type of ‘Christianity’ (see RI: Hungarian PM Says Only Solution to World’s Problems Is Return to Christianity (Orban); COGwriter: It is not original Christianity that Viktor Orban wants). A recent survey found that about half of those in Italy are looking for a strongman type of leader (see Reuters: Half of Italians want ‘strongman’ in power; COGwriter: Europe will end up following one).
The Bible, itself, is clear that Europe will reorganize and turn power over to a powerful dictator (Revelation 17:12-13), plus be connected to the church of the city seven hills (Revelation 17:1-9,18) for a time (Revelation 17:16-17). Some version of what Prime Minister Orban has proposed will happen–but Jesus will later have it destroyed (Revelation 17:14).
In the UK, they are having an election today (JP: Influential Corbyn-supporting Facebook page run by Hamas). If current Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s party wins enough seats, he is hoping for a British exit (Brexit) from the European Union early in 2020. His main opponent, Jeremy Corybyn has proposed a slower course.
In the USA, the impeachment process against Donald Trump is moving forward at the same time a trade deal involving Canada and Mexico is moving ahead (see Deep state and impeachment).
Over in New Zealand, a volcano erupted and several were killed (see BBC: New Zealand volcano: ‘No sign of life’ after White Island eruption). One lesson we can learn from such events is that life unexpectedly can be cut short and we always need to be prepared to meet God.
