What Herb thinks
Solana/Rice Flying High

I don't recall doing three commentaries in one day before. But, with the amazing events we're witnessing, I guess it's to be expected.

The EU's Javier Solana may have done it again. If you recall, just last month Solana was the one who put together the six-nation incentive package that was delivered to Iran. In fact, Solana was the one who delivered it. Now, it looks like Solana may have been the one who put together an acceptable idea for an international peacekeeping force to be deployed into the troubled Middle East. 

Who will provide these forces?  According to this report Read about it here , they are France, Germany and Spain. Fellow students of Bible prophecy, these are important Western European Union (WEU) nations. The others from Turkey, the Netherlands, Canada, Egypt and Saudi Arabia are only supplemental, and to give the force more legitimacy.

Why is this of interest to students of prophecy? Because, the Bible tells us, in the end-time, a 10-nation alliance will appear in a revived Roman Empire. And, from among these ten nations, a new Roman prince will rise and bring a false time of peace to Israel (Daniel 7:7-8, 9:26-27). The WEU happens to be 10 nations. And, Solana, the man who put together these forces, was made head over the WEU back in 1999.

So, will it happen? It looks like it will. According to the same report, after the conference in Rome was over, Solana joined Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on her trip to Malaysia. But, Malaysia was not what was on Solana's mind. On Solana's mind was working out the details of his next WEU mission into the Middle East.

Friends, I shouldn't have to tell you. By now you should be aware of what may be happening. The Bible provides us certain events that we are to be watchful for. Like I said in my previous commentary, these events are the rebirth of Israel and the reappearance of the great, seven-headed dragon (Revelation 12:1-6). The world has already seen the dragons first six heads. They are Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, the Greek Empire and the Roman Empire. And, what we may be seeing today is the dragon's seventh and last head.

And now, it even has 10 horns.
