'It's all over for Greece' as euro endgame looms

Prophecy Sign:  The collapse of the global economy and the rise of the EU Super-State

Bible prophecy tells us that the final world kingdom will come out of the area that formerly was the realm of the Roman Empire. This offspring of the Roman Empire will rise up in the last days and will be a mixture of strong and weak, (partly iron and partly clay), nations.

Reading the articles below, does that prophecy not now describe the European Union? You have the strong nations such as Germanyand France, and the week nations such as Greece, Italy, Spainand Portugal. And all the talk the last couple weeks is how these week and strong nations need to come together in a far stronger financial and economic entity.

This final empire some believe will consist of 10 European nations, (the 10 Kingdoms of Daniel 7 and Revelation 17). This is the general conjecture among most bible prophecy observers. However we have a slightly different prospective. We believe this final world empire, (the EU Super-State), will ultimately spawn nine other similar economic zones around the globe. The Antichrist will lead this new economic world order along with the heads of these new economic zones. This is why bible prophecy tells us that these 10 Kingdoms will rise up at the end of days and will be given power for a very short period of time. (Revelation 17:12)

This interpretation seems to makes the most logical sense in that 10 global economic "Kingdoms" would rule over the economic affairs of the entire globe. We can't see how a regionally based Euro-Zone empire of 10 nations could possibly rule over and control the financial affairs of nations in other parts of the world. (They're having a hard enough time with the 27 nations that make up the EU already).

As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay. Daniel 2:42-43 NIV

From the articles:

However, the increasing likelihood of an official Greek default or full-blown exit from the eurozone last night raised fresh fears over the impact it would have on the rest of the continent. Mrs Merkel said yesterday that a "domino effect" would be likely if Greece was forced to leave the euro, with Italy deemed the most vulnerable to panic in the financial markets. That in turn may put fresh pressure on French banks, which have invested heavily in southern European nations, analysts warned. They said France could be forced to pump in cash to its own banking sector in the coming days, as happened in the UK in 2008. One senior investor, Mohamed El-Erian, of Pacific Investment Management, warned: "We're getting close to a full-blown banking crisis in Europe."

International alarm over Europe's debt crisis reached new heights on Tuesday, with U.S. President Barack Obama pressing the bloc's big countries to show leadership as talk of a Greek default escalated and markets heaped pressure on Italy.

Confidence in the 17-nation currency area was further dented when Italy was forced to pay the highest interest rates since joining the euro in 1999 to sell 5-year bonds."I think there is a possibility, if the wrong steps are taken, that the system goes off the rails," Sergio Marchionne, the CEO of Italian carmaker Fiat, told reporters in Frankfurt when asked if the euro's survival was at risk.

"Europe is in danger," Polish Finance Minister Jacek Rostowski, whose country currently chairs EU meetings, told the European Parliament in Strasbourg. "If the eurozone breaks up, the European Union will not be able to survive," he added. At his most dramatic, Rostowski even warned that "war" could return to Europe if the crisis fatally weakens the EU, founded amid the rubble of World War II. His underlying message was backed up by European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso, who described the crisis as "the most serious challenge of a generation." Barroso stressed: "This is a fight... for the economic and political future of Europe."
