“...Be He God Or The Devil”
By Dr. David Reagan
European leaders, gathered in Lisbon,
Portugal, signed “The Treaty of Lisbon,”
which represents an attempt to further
strengthen the European Union,
increasing its powers as a super-state
while diminishing the national sovereignty
of its 27 member states.
Unlike the previously proposed constitution
which required public approval,
this treaty will bypass the public since
it must be approved only by the parliament
of each member state. The pact
aims to create a more effective, centralized
foreign policy, stronger central
leadership, and more democratic
decision-making.
A new post of foreign minister—in all
but name only—is being created to
give the EU a unified voice in foreign
policy. He will speak for the EU at
international conferences and at world
organizations like the United Nations.
The European Parliament, which until
now has been primarily a debating
society, is being given greater power to
modify or reject legislation proposed
by the EU Commission. The most
important change from a biblical
viewpoint is the creation of a supreme
leadership post. In the past the EU has
been ruled by a committee called the
“European Council” which is made up
of the heads of government of the
member nations. The chairmanship
of this committee rotates every six
months. The new treaty creates a full time
president of this Council who will
be elected by the heads of government
for a two-and-one-half year term,
renewable once. What the EU has lacked
is a strong, centralized executive. The
new treaty takes the first step in creating
this official by providing for an
elected president of the Council.
I have anticipated this development
for a long time. I believe this is paving
the way for the rise of the antichrist,
whom I believe will take over the EU and
serve as its president. I am reminded
of a statement made 60 years ago by
Paul Henri-Spaak (1899-1972), the
former Prime Minister of Belgium, the
first Chairman of the General Assembly
of the United Nations (1945), and one
of the key founders of the movement
toward European unity. He said: “We
do not want another committee. We
have too many already. What we want
is a man of sufficient stature to hold
the allegiance of all people, and to lift
us out of the economic morass in which
we are sinking. Send us such a man and,
be he God or the devil, we will receive
him.” Such a man is on the horizon.
We are witnessing the resurrection of
the Roman Empire, an End Time event
prophesied over 2,500 years ago by the
prophet Daniel (2:31-45).
