GERMAN FOREIGN MINISTER FAVORS EU ARMY!!!!

Germany's foreign minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, has
indicated he would like to see a EUROPEAN ARMY established.
Speaking at a Social Democrat security policy conference in
Berlin on Monday (5 May), Mr.Steinmeier said he favoured the
setting up of a "European armed force" and that he would like to
see moves in this direction speeded up.
German daily Tagespiegel reported Mr.Steinmeier as referring
to the fact that the EU's new treaty, currently undergoing
ratification across the European Union, allows for the
possibility of a group of member states to "move ahead" in
defence policy.
He noted that from Berlin's point of view, France is the key
partner for this. Mr.Steinmeier said he had already spoken with
his French counterpart, Bernard Kouchner, on concrete steps to
improve common areas in the military field.
These include the areas of transport, helicopter capacity
and procurement.
The end result of a consolidation of military capacities
must be a European army, said Mr.Steinmeier, according to German
news agency DPA.
At the same conference, other leading politicians from the
Social Democratic party - which currently forms part of the
governing coalition with the Christian Democrats in Germany -
also spoke out in favour of the idea.
Former defence minister and head of the SPD group Peter
Struck said: "There will still be opposition to the idea of a
European army as there once was against the single currency, the
euro. "But single states are no longer able to handle the threats
of today," he continued.
The German politicians' comments appear to be in line with
the views of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has in the
past made several statements on the need for common European
defence.
The French president has more recently not been so vocal on
the issue. This is being seen as a deliberate ploy not to upset
the EU treaty ratification process, particularly in neutral
Ireland - the only country to have a referendum on the charter
and where military issues are highly sensitive with the
electorate.
An email from a Dublin-based UK official after a briefing by
an official in the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs that was
leaked to the press last month suggested that one of the reasons
for having the treaty referendum before summer rather than in
autumn was due to a fear of "unhelpful developments during the
French presidency - particularly related to EU defence."
In addition Britain, as the other serious military power in
the EU along with France, has also reacted coolly to Mr.Sarkozy's
push for more integration in EU defence. London has also yet to
ratify the EU treaty.
But Mr.Sarkozy is expected to return to the issue in the
second half of this year, during his stint at the EU helm.
The EU treaty, which has to be ratified by all 27 countries to
come into force, allows for a group of member states who are
politically willing to go forward to structured cooperation in
defence.

NOTE:
It is prophesied in the Bible that there will be an end-time
RESURRECTION of the Holy Roman Empire, the 7th and last
resurrection. Chapter 18 of Revelation it is called "Babylon" -
it will be a mighty ECONOMICAL trading power. It will have a
MIGHTY religious power as part of its formation. The religious
power will have a FALSE prophet at its head, who will be able to
do deceptive MIRACLES.
This end time BEAST power of Revelation will be a GREAT AND
MIGHTY MILITARY POWER!!
Where are we at present (in 2008) in Bible prophecy? We are
AWAITING this sleeping but to be resurrected HOLY ROMAN BABYLON
POWER. Not UNTIL she has a terrifying ARMY in place, that can
rival ANY OTHER military power in the world, will we see the
final last 42 months, 1260 days, time and times and half a time,
mentioned in the book of Revelation, to CLOSE this age of man,
and the COMING AGAIN to earth of Jesus Christ.
How long all of that will be given to be fulfilled by the Most
Holy One in heaven is strictly up to Him. It could possibly come
together in the NEXT decade, BUT then again the Almighty may
decide to let a number of decades yet come to pass, before this
age comes crashing down, and He sends Christ Jesus back to
establish the Kingdom of God upon earth.
I can tell you with certainty, that Jesus will NOT return UNTIL
AFTER a somewhat united Europe HAS A MIGHTY MILITARY ARMED
FORCE!!
At the present this is all just TALK! But talk will need to come
first before the physical reality is in place.
The "fundamental" Christian "prophets" who dabble in Bible
prophecy, can (and they do) write books on prophecy, they can
(and some do) set dates or this or that year for the start of the
end-time Great Tribulation,(one such prophet has written a whole
book and is telling you that 2008 will start the Great
Tribulation) BUT THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND BIBLE PROPHECY!! They are
FALSE prophets. They say God has sent them BUT HE HAS NOT!!
I tell you ASSUREDLY before the Great Tribulation of the end time
can come, EUROPE must have a MIGHTY MILITARY ARMY!! Until that
happens the END of this age is NOT in sight.
You need to WATCH as Jesus told His disciples to do. WATCH
EUROPE!! Most in North America are asleep when it comes to
KNOWING WHAT IS HAPPENING IN EUROPE!!
BE NOT AS THOSE WHO SLEEP, BUT BE YOU WATCHFUL!
