Revelation 13:7 (NLT) “And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation.”
Editor's Notes: Globalization is not just a trend, it's a soon-coming reality and a clear sign of the Last Days and the rise of the antichrist. The antichrist will institute a universal government, monetary system, and religion. The Book of Revelation tells us that one day, a single man will rule all the people and nations on the earth: “And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation.” Revelation 13:7 (NLT) With each passing day more and more nations are surrendering their sovereignty to larger global institutions such as the European Union, the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Court.
Despite reservations by a European Commission report regarding corruption and organized crime in Croatia, the EC has given permission to the nation to join the EU on July 1st.
Croatia would become the EU’s 28th member state and the first to join since Bulgaria and Romania in 2007. Croatia has been trying to negotiate membership in the EU for a decade.
EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele said the membership was just an bigger incentive for Croatia to crack down on corruption within the government.
“EU membership is an additional incentive to carry on with reforms. Croatia is expected to continue developing its track record in the field of the rule of law, notably in the fight against corruption,” he said.
The report did not state how Croatia’s entry would impact on the EU’s economic situation but the current bailout of Cyprus is adding to the strain on the Union.
