Dangerously Deadly Irony: EU Wins Nobel Peace Prize

The European Union was awarded the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. In gesture towards EU solidarity, Thorbjørn Jagland, the head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee said that “This is, in a way, a message to Europe to secure everything we have achieved and move forward.”

Commenting on the prize, EU Commission President José Manuel Barroso said the “award today by the Nobel Committee shows that, even in this difficult time, the European Union remains an inspiration for countries and people all over the world, and that the international community needs a strong European Union.”

It sends “a very important message to Europe, that the European Union is something very precious, and we should cherish it, for the good of Europeans, and indeed for the good of all the world,” he said.

Sadly, hardly anything could be further from the truth.

The EU grew out of the tremendous devastation of World War ii and was fueled by the conviction that ever-closer economic ties would bring peace to the world.

However, a unified Europe will not bring peace. In reality it will lead to World War iii. This is something we have been warning about since 1945—at a time Germany was in ruins and few people could imagine an superpower ever rising in Europe.

“The world is about to be bludgeoned into this reality,” wrote Gerald Flurry in 2010. “The Holy Roman Empire has risen six times in Europe. Each time, it has soaked the continent in blood. The seventh head is going to shed blood around the world. Its past strongly indicates what it will do in the future. Its history alone should make people tremble with fear today!”

Bible prophesy indicates a German-led European union will start the next global war. Gerald Flurry explains in his new Key of David television program titled: “Crown of the Holy Roman Empire.” In it he explains exactly where we are in Bible prophecy and where European unification is leading.
