Spain's Prime Minister (PM) says his country will sponsor a new Middle East peace initiative along with France and Italy stressing that the international community cannot remain idle as violence rages between Israel and the Palestinians.
Stating that world leaders cannot remain impassive in the face of the horror that continues to unfold, the Spanish PM said that peace between Israel and the Palestinians means to a large extent, peace on the international scene. Europeans are looking for a greater voice in world affairs particularly after midterm US elections and what they view as voters punishing President Bush.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
As European leaders vie for a greater voice in world affairs and offer a new peace initiative for the Middle East, they move closer to the scenario that is found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days.
The European Union (EU) has made great headway in its efforts to have a greater voice in world affairs, and in particular in the Middle East when the United Nations (UN) gave the leadership role for the peace keeping forces in Southern Lebanon to the EU. Now there is talk among member states of the EU to lead a peace keeping force in the Gaza Strip. Couple these realities with the new Middle East peace initiative put forward by Spain, France, and Italy and one can see the EU asserting its influence in the Middle East, which they say will have international repercussions.
This report brings into focus a scenario that is found in Bible prophecy that foretold the European impact on world events during the End Times. Daniel, the prophet and John the apostle both ancient Jewish prophets reveal this scenario for the Last Days. Daniel 7 is the unfolding of the Gentile world powers from the Babylonian Empire to the period of the revived Roman Empire, the major player in the Last Days.
John, the writer of Revelation, in chapter 13 unfolds this same scenario for the revived Roman Empire, most likely the EU today, a scenario where the revived Roman Empire will work for peace in the Middle East as Spain, France, and Italy envision.
