(popup required): World Net Daily, June 3, 2010 - Author: European Antichrist looking more and more unlikely
Joel Richardson, author of a best-selling book on Bible prophecy, says atheists will have a field day mocking Christians for the incorrect interpretations about the last days. "Nearly twenty years ago, I intently watched as a very popular Christian television prophecy teacher declared, 'the present formation of the European Union is literally the fulfillment of Bible prophecy right before our eyes!'" he writes in a commentary today in WND. "According to this teacher, the creation of the European Union represented a biblically prophesied revived Roman Empire. Because the last-days empire of the Antichrist as described in the Books of Daniel and Revelation is portrayed as a 10-nation alliance, this teacher confidently declared that when the number of EU member states reached ten, this would signal the imminent return of Jesus Christ. And soon, the number of EU member states reached the magic number 10 just as this teacher had predicted. Then the number reached eleven, and then twelve. Soon there were twenty. Today there are 27 member states. The teacher's very confident predictions failed." His book makes the case that the biblical Antichrist is one and the same as the Quran's Muslim Mahdi.
TSTL: Again, the vast majority of Christians debate and strike out against our statement of reading Daniel 2:41. None should be disillusioned! "And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay." There is to be no unification of the European countries. Period. How many times must we debunk popular Christianity on this? Daniel saw it so plainly that there will be attempt after attempt to unify but "they shall not cleave one to another" (Daniel 2:43). That little unification verse in Revelation cannot contradict these verses therefore the popular understanding of Revelation 17:13 as a unified state is wrong. Much study would be necessary to properly understand this one, but for now, we declare another popular misgiving in prophecy. Everyone is looking for a military antichrist. Look up antichrist in the Bible with all 4 being in the epistles of John. All deal with doctrines. While many fight off atheism, evolution, and militant Muslims, antichrist is sneaking false doctrines and conquering the world, just as predicted.

Many have unsubdued, unhumbled hearts, and think more of their own little grievances and trials than of the souls of sinners. If they had the glory of God in view, they would feel for perishing souls around them; and as they realized their perilous situation, would take hold with energy, exercising faith in God, and hold up the hands of His servants, that they might boldly, yet in love, declare the truth and warn souls to lay hold upon it before the sweet voice of mercy should die away. Said the angel, "Those who profess His name are not ready." I saw that the seven last plagues were coming upon the shelterless heads of the wicked; and then those who have stood in their way will hear the bitter reproaches of sinners, and their hearts will faint within them. {Early Writings, page 120}
