A new look at the ENPI theory

I have been greatly blessed by a discussion between Eschologizer and myself. Many of you will remember him from our discussions on FP. He was so kind as to gave me permission to share the following paper with you for your interest and discussion. Please feel free to share your views.

European Neighborhood Theory

A New Look

By: Eschologizer

Herb L. Peters came up with the most viable prophecy theory in history. It relied on fulfilled prophecy, as opposed to speculation. Also, the statistical likelihood of everything pulling together like that is incredible.

But when the abomination of desolation didn’t happen in summer 2010, many of us became disillusioned and abandoned his theory. Indeed, I was incredibly discouraged by it and didn’t do prophecy stuff for two whole years.

Here is a general timeline that Herb would have agreed with:

1948 – Rebirth of Israel (Isaiah 66; Ezekiel 38:7-9)

1950 – Rebirth of the Roman Empire at the Treaty of Rome. (Fourth kingdom of Daniel 7 = Roman Empire destroyed by Messiah at Second Coming)

1967 – Jews retake East Jerusalem, and live in both parts of the city. (Zechariah 14)

1995 – WEU military organization, separate from the EU, reaches ten member states. (10 kings come from end times Roman Empire)

1999 – Javier Solana becomes secretary-general of those 10 after their initial arrival (Daniel 7:24 = after the 10, another king arises among the 10, different from the previous 10)

1999 – Solana also given powerful positions in the EU. (In 1998 Document 666 created his EU job and WEU Recommendation 666 suggests giving him more power over 10 nations).

c. 2003-2007 – Solana competes with the so called “EU 3” (also part of original 10 WEU nations) for influence, and succeeds (Daniel 7:24 = new king subdues 3 of original 10 kings)

2007 – Solana foreign policy chief while European Neighborhood and Partnership Instrument is initiated. It confirms a 7-year financial relationship to Israel and many other nations (Daniel 9:27 = end time ruler makes deal of unspecified terms with many people for 7 years).

Mid 2010 – If the 7-year deal was spoken of in Daniel 9:27, the abomination of desolation, the final sign of Christ’s return. Should have occurred. Unfortunately for us, it didn’t. And made quite a ton of discouragement for me and a lot of other people, leading us to abandon the theory.

Analysis of Herb’s Theory

Contrary to my previous beliefs of the past two years, I now hold that Herb was broadly and approximately correct.

It is very statistically improbable that both the 10-nation alliance and the 7 year deal would correspond with one another at the same time in history.

However, perhaps it doesn’t prove what I originally thought it did. It does indeed prove that at least one of them has to be prophetic. If it didn’t, that means that both of them were a complete fluke. Which is highly improbable.

Perhaps God really did give us wisdom when we prayed for it, but not in the way we expected.

My Own Theory

In light of this, I would like to present my own list of prophetic events which I deem significant. Then, I would like to propose my own theory based on them, and an analysis of current events in light of them.

1948 – Rebirth of Israel (Isaiah 66; Ezekiel 38:7-9)

1950 – Rebirth of the Roman Empire at the Treaty of Rome. (Fourth kingdom of Daniel 7 = Roman Empire destroyed by Messiah at Second Coming)

1967 – Jews retake East Jerusalem, and live in both parts of the city. (Zechariah 14)

1995 – WEU military organization, separate from the EU, reaches ten member states. (10 kings come from end times Roman Empire)

1999 – Javier Solana becomes secretary-general of those 10 after their initial arrival. Solana starts building a political position which may be very important in the end times.

1999 – Solana also given powerful positions in the EU, further enhancing his power. (In 1998 Document 666 created his EU job and WEU Recommendation 666 suggests giving him more power over 10 nations). This paved the way to creating the HR position in the Lisbon treaty, which is very powerful.

c. 2003-2007 – Solana competes with the so called “EU 3” (also part of original 10 WEU nations) for influence, and succeeds. He was instrumental in getting Europe together for a common foreign policy, paving the way to the new position in the Lisbon treaty.

2007 – Commission and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana initiate European Neighborhood and Partnership Instrument. It confirms a 7-year financial relationship to Israel and many other nations. This starts the custom of making 7 year deals with countries in the European Neighborhood, which is expected to continue.

2009 – Lisbon Treaty goes into effect, a very great leap in imperializing Europe. It also merges all of Javier Solana’s original posts into one very powerful foreign policy post.

2010 – Ten nation WEU accomplishes its purpose and hands its power over to the EU beast because of the Lisbon treaty.

2010-2012 – European sovereign debt crisis becomes a serious issue. Just like the Bible says, the EU struggles with unity and cannot hold itself together.

2014 – European Neighborhood Instrument (ENI) set to go in effect for 7 years. It encompasses many nations and Israel, except it is more streamlined and has more funding (16 Billion EUR). This could be the real “covenant with many,” but I’m not sure.

Analysis of My Own Theory

If I want to rely on some elements of Herb’s theory, I have some explaining to do.

What is my reasoning?

Israel became a nation back in 1948 and regained the whole city in 1967. These are clear fulfillments of prophetic expectation in the Bible. It would make sense that we should see a revival of the Roman Empire concurrent with this as well. There are many reasons to believe the EU as a unit is the revived Roman Empire:

● The EU is the only game in town since the rebirth of Israel.
● The EU steadily increases its grip over time through various treaties.
● The EU has a single currency, just like an empire.
● The EU has difficulty being united and holding itself together, just like the Bible says.
● The EU makes laws for its member states.
● The EU regulates immigration.
● The EU has the ability to represent its member states when making treaties.
● The EU previously cooperated with a group of ten nations who were their own treaty system. However, this group of ten nations dissolved, in favor of the powerful EU-beast.
● The EU now makes deals with neighboring countries, including Israel, on 7 year cycles.

If the EU isn’t the revived Roman Empire, then I’m a poached egg. So it only makes sense for the above bullets to be prophetically significant, and there is no reason to wait for another empire, or another ten nation alliance, or another 7 year treaty mechanism. It’s all in place.

Who is Javier Solana?

Short answer: I don’t know. Long answer: He built the position which may have incredible power in the future.

Who is the Western European Union?

The dissolution of the Western European Union in favor of the stronger and larger EU is consistent with prophecy, because the ten kings eventually give their power and authority over to the beast.

What is the relevance of the European Neighborhood and Partnership Instrument?

The ENPI was the first 7-year deal the EU made with neighboring countries. We thought it was prophetically significant. But perhaps its significance is that the Antichrist now has a mechanism by which to make a 7-year deal in the future.

What is the relationship of my theory to what is happening today?

Right now, with the sovereign debt crisis, Europe has three options:

1. Collapse completely
2. Continue to stagnate and do damage control forever
3. Forcefully unite

No one really wants #1 because it would cause a recession. No one is going to tolerate #2, because Germany, lenders, and investors will get really impatient. Leading economists are saying the EU has a very short time to get its act together.

#3 is a real possibility. It’s not just prophecy buffs who are worried about it. The UK’s EU parliament representative, Nigel Farage, fears dictatorship as well.

My Theory in A Nutshell

1. Israel is back in the land, and we have our EU-beast. There is no good reason to look for another beast.
2. Ten nations already dissolved their organization in favor of the EU-beast. There is no good reason to look for another ten-nation alliance.
3. The EU already has a mechanism by which it makes cyclical 7-year deals with Israel and other nations. There is no good reason to look for another mechanism.

In 2014, we will have had a ten nation alliance that gave up its power in favor of the EU beast. In 2014, we will have a very powerful position that Javier Solana created already in place. In 2014, we will have yet another 7-year deal with Israel.

Europe is having a debt crisis and can’t hold together. What a great time for a strong person to come and take the reigns, subdue three nations, and make a seven year deal with Israel.

I really am unsure but it is possible that this one could be it.

I think this general “European Neighborhood Theory” is a great way to get the word out about the generalities of this prophecy theory, but while being diverse in specific interpretations of events. Whether it be ENPI, ENI, or something else, we all feel the EU is it, the WEU is it, the high rep is it, and that the budgetary cycle of 7 years is significant.

Disclaimer:

I have been away from prophecy stuff for nearly two years. Perhaps many of these ideas people have already proposed. I know that others have been wondering about the next 7 year deal. But my apologies if I have stolen ideas without crediting.
