Image what would happen if Sen. John F. Kerry decided he wanted another shot at the White House. But, knowing that he didn't stand a chance without making some changes, he decided to do something daring. He decided to change his name to Sen. John F. Kennedy. Do you think it would work?

Friends, some EU leaders are so desperate for their new Foreign Minister that that's exactly what they may be thinking. In order to get their beloved Constitution of Rome ratified, they're thinking about changing its name and trying it again. This article says:

Diplomats say they hope at least a timetable for reviving the constitution can be agreed. But officials caution the treaty will have to be revamped and that the name "constitution" will have to be dropped in order get approval of France and the Netherlands Read about it here.

Today there is another news report that -- prophetically speaking -- may be more significant. But, when I read the report about Romano Prodi and certain unnamed EU officials wanting to renaming the EU's constitution, I couldn't resist. You see, if you have read my book, you may recall something humorous that Prodi once said regarding the EU's new army. And, I believe it may say volumes regarding these proposals to rename the EU's constitution. On page 87 of Recommendation 666 we read: 

Yet no matter what they called it [the EU's new military capabilities], everybody knew the EU was creating a European army. In fact, when Romano Prodi, the president of the European Commission, was jumped for using the "A-word," he snapped back: “When I was talking about the European army, I wasn't joking. If you don't want to call it a European army, don't call it a European army. You can call it ‘Margaret’, you can call it ‘Mary Ann’, you can call it any name.”

Let's move on to our next piece of news -- the more important news. There now is reason to believe both Israel and the U.S. are being forced into finding solutions to bring about the so-called "two-state" solution to the Israeli/Palestinian dispute very soon. Evidently, as the U.S. begins to consider possible shifts in its forces in Iraq, important changes concerning Israel's security will necessarily follow. The report says:

Talk of concessions to the Palestinians and moves to bolster Palestinian moderates precede nearly every visit by an Israeli prime minister to Washington. But there are signs that this time, the carrot-and-stick policy may be working.

The new American initiative coincides with talk about pulling U.S. forces out of Iraq. As they develop an exit strategy, the Americans seem to be showing greater urgency on other regional issues, like the Israeli-Palestinian question Read about it here.

So, no matter what they choose to call it, Bible prophecy just keeps coming true. In our time, it started when Israel was reborn as a nation. Now, no matter how hard they try, they can't make it go away. They can fight it, they can even cuss it and can call it a Mary Ann. 

You see Romano Prodi, God wasn't joking either.
