What Herb thinks
The Market of Markets

Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen visited President George Bush at Camp David this week. According the EUobserver, Rasmussen was meeting with Bush to sell his idea about creating the market of markets. Rasmussen's plan is to establish a free trade zone spanning both the European and North American continents Read about it here.

Prophetically speaking, this news is incredible. Before we examine the implications, let's take a look at what else is going on by way of markets.

First, we have the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership for Peace (Euro-Med) agreement that Javier Solana negotiated between the then 15 European Union member states and 12 Mediterranean states. Today, the agreement is between 25 EU states and 10 Mediterranean states -- 35 in all. Included in this plan is to have a huge free trade area in place by the year 2010 Read about it here.

Next we have the six Persian Gulf states coming together in the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf. Their free trade area is also to be in place by 2010 Read about it here.

Then we have the North American Economic and Security Community forming between Mexico, the United States and Canada. It too is to be in place by 2010 Read about it here.

Did you notice? All these free trade areas appear to be following a single plan. They all are to be in place by 2010. And, if you do a little Google searching, you will discover other trade agreements to be completed by that date too. Now, we read about Rasmussen's plan to link this all together in a grand market of markets. Friends, if I were looking for a conspiracy theory, I sure could find one here. 

But, as I've always said, I try to keep my primary focus on the Bible. And, sure enough, the Bible may have something to say about these trade agreements. The Bible tells us that the nation Israel will be reborn and the old Roman Empire will be revived. These two events will be the first great signs of end-time Bible prophecy. From out of this revived Roman Empire will rise a 10-nation alliance. Out of this alliance will emerge a new European political leader who will achieved a covenant of some kind that includes Israel. And, he will make firm, or confirm, his agreement with Israel for a period of seven years. But, in the middle of the seven years, the leader will break his promise to Israel. This brings us to our subject. After breaking his agreement, this European leader will implement a global, single economic system that will require a mark of some kind in order for people to buy or sell.

As we've been reporting here at FulfilledProphecy, some of these events may have already occurred. In 1948 Israel was reborn. Soon after, the old Roman Empire began to revive. Then in 1995 a 10 nation alliance came together, and in 1999, the first Mr. Europe appeared among these 10 nations. It turns out in 1995 this same European leader negotiated the Euro-Med free trade zone, and later brokered the European Neighborhood Policy (ENP). The purpose of his ENP is to make firm, or confirm, his 1995 Euro-Med. And, beginning on January 1, 2007, his new ENP will enter into force and continue for seven years.

So, if what we're seeing is the fulfillment of prophecy, then we can expect this Mr. Europe's seven-year agreement with Israel to be broken sometime in 2010. And, we can expect the implementation of a global, single market to follow.

So, Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen paid a visit to President George Bush with a plan. After all the smaller markets are in place in the year 2010, he wants Europe and the United States to come together and form the market of markets.

You know? Something tells me it's not his plan.
