What
follows is what British Free Masonry has been working toward for
centuries—nothing short of the one world government prophesied as the fourth
and final kingdom in Daniel’s vision of chapter 2. Though I am not for it,
this is indeed what will transpire, but it will not last because iron and
clay do not adhere for long; it is Satan’s plan, and God says it will fail—Rev.
17. The ten toes on the feet of the image symbolize the same powers as the
ten-horned beast of Rev. 17. 31Thou, O king, sawest,
and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent,
stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. 32This
image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly
and his thighs of brass, 33His
legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. 34Thou
sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands,
which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake
them to pieces. 35Then
was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces
together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors;
and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the
stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole
earth. Daniel 2:31-35. 40And
the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in
pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that
breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. 41And
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. 42And
as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom
shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 43And
whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they
shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one
to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. 44And
in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which
shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people,
but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall
stand for ever. 45Forasmuch
as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the
mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the
clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what
shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the
interpretation thereof sure. Daniel 2:40-45. —rwb HOW
THE CURRENT CRISIS IN EUROPE WILL BE RESOLVED Europe is rapidly approaching its D-Day – unless there
are major changes of the economic and political structures that currently
exist in the Eurozone the dream of a united Europe
will unravel, and once again the European States breaking up into separate
entities scrabbling amongst themselves. The financial problems of Greece, Italy, Spain, Italy,
Portugal, Belgium and Ireland are a result of a flawed economic model, trying
to solve their short-term financial problems with borrowed money. It
was a mistake to believe that nations could have independent fiscal policies
if they belong to a single currency. As they no longer have the ability
to create credit to finance their deficits, they must adjust to live within
their incomes, or borrow money. When they no longer do either they are in
trouble. What we have in the Eurozone now is
not a sustainable economic model, which only will survive if changes are made
quickly. Lending money to debt-ridden countries such as Greece is not
going to solve this problem. The only long-term solution for resolving the current
crisis is having the members of the Eurozone follow
fiscal policies which are controlled by a single Federal Government, similar
to the USA. This EU Federal Government which would take over the
national debts of the member states of the Eurozone,
who would in turn give up many of the sovereign rights that they currently
enjoy. Defence, foreign affairs, national security, and finance will
take over the responsibility of administration by the Federated
Government. This new Federated Government would have the authority to
collect taxes directly, issue bonds and allocate resources as necessary. Those nations that will not accept the terms required
to become a part of the Federated United Europe will be forced out of the Eurozone. They would remain in the EU but no longer
have the financial support of the Federal Government, creating a two-tier EU.
They would not be a part of the new EU Federal Government unless they
submitted to the authority of the Government. It is expected that some of the
countries in the Eurozone will not join the new
Federal Government as they will fail to gain the domestic political support
to make the constitutional changes. Creating a single political Federal Government will
strengthen the Euro, having it replace the weakening US dollar as the world’s
reserve currency. It will create the largest single economic power in
the world. What Europe is lacking at present is a leader – it is
facing a crisis in leadership. Europeans look at the United States and
see how having a single President who can project the authority and power of
the USA is lacking in Europe at present. While the EU has 2 Presidents
(which in itself leads to confusion), it is the heads of individual member
states of the EU who make the decisions and public announcements, not the
figurehead EU Presidents. The new European Federal Government will have
a single President who will have the authority to speak on behalf of the
Federal Government and make major decisions – similar to the USA today. Germany as the most dominant economic power in Europe
is in a position to force upon the rest of the member Eurozone
countries the terms and conditions required for them to be a part in this new
political union. While in Germany there is considerable political
opposition to bailing out the insolvent members of the Eurozone,
this political opposition would be muted if those nations requiring a
bail-out would agree to come under the authority of a single German-backed
Federal Government. The recent failure of NATO in bringing to a swift end
to the rule of Gaddafi in Libya has shown how weak and ineffective the EU is
having an effective defence force. Not having a single united defence
policy supported by a Federal budget has been an embarrassment shown up by
their inability to over-throw a third-rate leader such as Gaddafi. If
it was not for the US military support of NATO they would have already failed
in this fiasco. The new Federal Government would have the revenue to be
able to finance a single military to be used in future conflicts. Having a political union would create a period of
economic growth and prosperity for the Eurozone
nations. The issuing of credit by the European Central Bank in the form
of EU Bonds to replace national debt will relieve the debt burden of member
states and herald a period of prosperity. The bonds would partly be
financed from taxation collected by the Federal Government and partly by
increasing the money supply. By controlling revenue they will be able
to impose political decisions and fiscal discipline on member governments who
have been unable to do so because of domestic political factors. Failure to put in place a single Federal European
Government to save the Euro will result in a series of defaults by EU
members, setting off a global depression. National governments must
give their authority to this new Federal Government for their economic
survival. They have little choice but to agree. All that is
needed is a leader who can gain the trust of the people and provide the
leadership for Europe to prevent this crisis unfolding. The European
leaders have little choice but to act quickly now and implement the political
changes, transferring their national sovereignty to this new Federal
Government. Unless they act now, the world faces a global depression. This new Federal Europe will have the authority backed
by its economic muscle to impose conditions on the global economy regulating
trade and imposing environmental protection standards to stimulate
sustainable growth. The faltering US economy, the shaky banking system
of the Chinese and debt-ridden Japanese Government will result in Asian manufacturers
increasing looking to Europe instead of North America as being the
market to purchase their goods. Europe will again be the centre of
world culture and economic prosperity. Over the coming weeks we will see the emergence of this
new global super-power, replacing the declining Anglo-American alliance which
has dominated the political and economic landscape of the world for the last
200 years. The speed of the creation and power of this new European
Federal Government will surprise many changing the political landscape of the
world. What we are seeing unfold now is of truly significant historic
event. Bruce Porteous 25 June, 2011 |
