Revelation 13:7 (NLT) “And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation.”
Editor's Notes: Globalization is not just a trend, it's a soon-coming reality and a clear sign of the Last Days and the rise of the antichrist. The antichrist will institute a universal government, monetary system, and religion. The Book of Revelation tells us that one day, a single man will rule all the people and nations on the earth: “And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation.” Revelation 13:7 (NLT) With each passing day more and more nations are surrendering their sovereignty to larger global institutions such as the European Union, the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Court.
President Manuel Barroso, head of the European Commission, has issued a call for members of the EU to transform into “nation-states” as part of his annual address to the EU parliament.
If the group turned into a “federation of nation-states” then the group would be able to better withstand the economic crisis that is raging through the continent. He also laid out plans for a single supervisory entity for the banking system in all member nations.
“[The entity] is a quantum leap,” Barroso said in his speech. “The stepping stone to the banking union.”
The European Central Bank would gain supervisory control on over 6,000 banks in Europe.
After the speech, Barroso said he was not calling for a “superstate” but rather a “democratic federation of nation states that can tackle our common problems, through the sharing of sovereignty.”
Barroso said that the inability of governments to respond to economic issues in an effective way was “fueling extremism.”
