Some have said I am wrong because the MU idea was recently not well received by certain nations. However, that is changing, it looks like Sorkozy&#8217;s MU idea will take root after all.<\/p>\n<p>The Mediterranean Union as the revived Roman Empire makes more sense to me than the present EU for a lot of prophetic reasons. First of all, let me be clear, I am not saying the EU is going to die, it will probably just morph into the borders of the MU and move its headquarters to Rome. Whether or not the EU changes its name to the MU or even something else is really not important.<\/p>\n<p>I still think the major change from the present EU to the borders of the proposed MU will take place during and after a world war with radical Islam that will include the Arab and Israeli war of Psalm 83. There has to be a war in the Middle East. How else can Israel rid the area of over 40,000 rockets that threatens all of Israel today? The Arabs are never going to peacefully give up their weapons and they are not going to recognize Israel&#8217;s right to exist in the Middle East as a Jewish state. A major war is certain.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the Eastern nations in the EU are just not going to fit in with the West and will eventually form their own union probably dominated by Russia. Look at a ancient map of the land extent of the old Roman Empire. This will probably be about the same extent of the revised Roman Empire. <strong>The EU today simply does not fit.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The EU has its headquarters in Brussels Belgium which prophetically means absolutely nothing. The MU would much more likely have its headquarters located in Rome which prophetically means absolutely everything.<\/p>\n<p>Israel will be in the MU as will the defeated states of Psalm 83 and others already predetermined to be part of the MU. This makes the prophetic statement about the Antichrist figure <strong>confirming a covenant<\/strong> with the &#8220;many&#8221; for seven year much more plausible. The only way Israel can live in peace and security with hostile neighbors is if it is enforced by a force larger than any of the nations involved. Being part of the MU is a rational reason why Israel would be living in peace and security prior to the Ezekiel 38 and 39 war.<\/p>\n<p>Israel is to become part of this revived Roman Empire also known as the MU. The peace and security in Israel is prophetically absolutely required before the war of Ezekiel 38 and 39. The covenant or treaty the Antichrist confirms with all these nations is the conditions lain down by Israel and the Western powers after the war of Psalm 83, the war against radical Islam, and probably the Ezekiel war.\u00a0 At the end of the Ezekiel war, the God of Israel will reveal Himself to Israel and the whole world by His supernatural intervention which destroys the army of the northern invaders.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;many&#8221; that this later Antichrist figure from the MU confirms the agreement with could be ten regional zone leaders within the MU. A much expanded Israel\u00a0 could be one of the ten zones. Then 3 1\/2 years after confirming this agreement, this world leader breaks the pact with Israel after Israel&#8217;s two prophets are killed. Then he attempts to appease and deceive all the world nations that hate Israel and the Israeli God and he eliminates three leaders and three MU zones in order to make room for his new Babylonian province that God identifies as Babylon the Great.<\/p>\n<p>This article by Chris Perver will give you the latest on the revived Mediterranean Union. It is good to see that he also thinks this Mediterranean Union fulfills the prophecy of a Revived Roman Empire.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20240810230816\/https:\/\/www.bibleprophecyblog.com\/2009\/06\/eu-to-revive-mediterranean-union.html\">EU to Revive Mediterranean Union ~ Bible Prophecy Today<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The French Foreign Ministry has announced that the Union for the Mediterranean, a project aimed at boosting ties between the European Union and Mediterranean states, is to be formally revived at the end of this month. The announcement follows a meeting of French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit, who jointly hold the presidency of the new bloc.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20240810230816\/https:\/\/www.bibleprophecyblog.com\/2009\/06\/eu-to-revive-mediterranean-union.html\"><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As we saw at its inception, far from being a political project aimed at merely increasing peace and prosperity in the Mediterranean region, Sarkozy&#8217;s vision of the Union for the Mediterranean is <strong>nothing less than a revival of the old Roman Empire itself.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The French President claimed in February 2007, &#8220;within every man and woman who lives on the shores of the Mediterranean sleeps the memory, nostalgia, for the unity lost 15 centuries ago&#8221;. He added that he wanted to be &#8220;the president of a France that will set the Mediterranean on the path of its reunification, after 12 centuries of division&#8221;. That vision, of a <strong>revival of the order of the old Roman Empire<\/strong>, is also shared by other politicians involved in the European Union project. Last year European Commission President Manuel Barroso, when questioned on exactly what the European project hoped to achieve, claimed that the EU was the world&#8217;s first &#8220;non-imperial empire&#8221;. Belgian politician Paul-Henri Spaak, who famously called for a man, &#8220;be he god or devil&#8221;, to lift the nations out of the economic morass into which they were sinking, was a signatory to the Treaty of Rome which established the institutions of the European Union. When asked how he felt when signing the treaty, he said, &#8220;we felt like Romans on that day&#8230; We were consciously recreating the Roman Empire once more&#8221;.<br \/>\n(bold emphasis mine)<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20240810230816\/https:\/\/www.bibleprophecyblog.com\/2009\/06\/eu-to-revive-mediterranean-union.html\" target=\"_blank\">Full article<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Revised edition) I have been saying that the Mediterranean Union (MU) will be the actual revived Roman Empire and not the EU alignment that we see today because many of the nations in the EU do not belong in the land area of\u00a0 the old Roman Empire and others that belong in it are missing [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,334,15,26],"tags":[72,53,321,60,167,13,6,75,117,71,347],"class_list":["post-2258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-roman-empire","category-israel-jerusalam","category-russiagog","category-world-war-iii","tag-antichrist","tag-bible-prophecy","tag-eu","tag-ezekiel","tag-food-for-thought","tag-islam","tag-israel","tag-peace","tag-russia","tag-security","tag-world-war-iii"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pawsE-Aq","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thepropheticyears.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thepropheticyears.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thepropheticyears.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepropheticyears.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepropheticyears.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2258"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepropheticyears.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2258\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6807,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepropheticyears.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2258\/revisions\/6807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thepropheticyears.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepropheticyears.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepropheticyears.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
