Winston Churchill and a United Europe!

WINSTON CHURCHILL AND A UNITED EUROPE

by Brooks Alden

The great war leader, Winston Churchill, is seen as an icon of
statesmanship and cer tainly the courage he displayed during WW2
was remarkable. Many Christians are also deeply inspired by his
admission that he felt some guiding hand was behind the allied
victory. Yet, it is likely disheartening to many of us who have
been ardent Churchill followers to learn that he too favoured the
move toward a united Europe. Around 1938 he wrote his thesis
about "The United States of Europe" and after the war, delivered
many supportive lectures. Grant points to a December 30, 1946
Daily Telegraph article by Churchill, "One Way to Stop a New War"
in which he seemed ready to abandon the hard fought independence
of Britain and its remarkable impact on history. I suppose what
is most sad, for me anyway, was to see the tact of prevalent fear
of war and terror of living in a police state advanced by
Churchill as rationale for giving up independence. In his
article, Churchill also said, "Yet all this could be ended
at a single stroke. Two or three hundred millions of people in
Europe have only got to wake up one morning and resolve to be
happy and free by becoming one family of nations, banded together
from the Atlantic to the Black Sea for mutual aid and protection.
One spasm of resolve! One single gesture! The prison doors clang
open. Out walk, or totter, the captives into the sunshine of a
joyous world. I do not at all conceal from the reader that an act
of the Sublime is required. It is a very simple act, not even a
forward bound. just stand erect, but all together."

Among other things, Grant mused, "Does Mr. Churchill really
believe it is as simple as that." Obviously he didn't and
obviously it hasn't. Yet, Churchill probably knew that the plan
would take decades to complete, as it would certainly be
necessary that the proud British heritage had to be remoulded to
the point where complete integration would be welcome. Sadly,
Churchill's call for an "all party" organization for the
promotion of unity gives us a glimpse of what many of us will
speculate to be a less desirable side to this otherwise great
prime minister.

And even with the troubles in Europe right now, there will emerge
an end time Holy Roman Empire, the last and 7th resurrection of
this Empire, and it is to be a might trading power. It will be
rules by a "beast" man and a miracle working "false prophet."
This Roman/Babylon power will come against a united Arab union of
nations, which it will destroy, and then match on into the Holy
Land and Jerusalem. This Europe power will rule the Western
world, destroying both the USA and the British Commonwealth in so
doing. IT will try to conquer the Eastern world, and a war will
ensue that if not stopped by the coming of Jesus Christ, would
lead to the destruction of every living person on earth.

But Jesus will come, and establish the Kingdom of God on earth,
and this planet will eventually be filled with the knowledge of
God as the waters cover the sea beds.
