PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JANUARY 27, 1984
How amazing.
Some experts are talking about the future possibility of a
closely confederated Europe of two parts, East and West. If the Soviets buy
this idea, they and their East bloc members are already on record as
advocating a nuclear-free zone for Eastern Europe. The Soviets wouldn't
permit Western missiles there, but could conceivably permit a united
defense force in the five-fingered Western hand of a confederated European
third force to have nuclear weapons. How interesting in the light of the
image described in Daniel 2.
In a rather surprise inclusion in his speech in Stockholm, Secretary of
State Shultz said: "Let me be very clear.
The United States does not
recognize the legitimacy of the artificially imposed division of Europe.
This division is the essence of Europe's security and human rights
problems, and we all know it."
The United States is unwittingly encouraging the biblically prophesied end­
time fusion of Europe.
It will come about, and it is already in its
formulating stage. When it does suddenly take shape, the world wi11 be
stunned (Rev. 17:8).
A British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reporter, being interviewed in
Stockholm by a Swedish television newswoman, replied to a question about
whether the division of Europe could ever be overcome. He replied, "Unless
there is a major political earthquake, it [a divided Europe] is a fact we
will have to live with."
But not forever, according to your Bible.
