The European Union (hereafter, “the EU”) began in 1992. It started as an attempt at “fair trade.” This is an economical issue of which I am not familiar. Basically, the more “united” countries are in trade agreements, then the less things cost. That is partly due to the reduction in exportation costs. If the US and Canada agreed to not tax each other for goods crossing the border, then automatically the costs shift downward. Well, the EU moved past this economic agreement into political territory. They adopted a single currency—The Euro. They also adopted a single flag. Technically, this is the flag of the Council of Europe, but it was appropriated by the EU. Arsène Heitz designed the flag with certain symbolism in mind. The flag is composed of 12 stars. Why 12? There are more than 12 members of the EU. It was chosen as a symbol of completion, perfection, and order. The stars are aligned in a perfect circle to display unity (called the “circle of stars”). For a differing view on the "circle of stars" try this link. (The original 13 colonies of the US had a similar alignment of stars on their flag.) Heitz chose 12, also due to its symbolism. This was either the symbolism of a painting of the Virgin Mary with 12 stars above her head as a halo or it was taken from the book of Revelation. Rev 12:1-2, 5 “A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth...She gave birth to a son a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron rod scepter. And her child was snatched up to God, and to his throne” (NIV). Why does this matter? Well, I’ve heard it said that the “Europa” riding the beast is actually the “Virgin Mary.”
Europe itself is named after the Greek mythological figure "Europa." Legend says that she rode the bull form of Zeus into the ocean at which time he raped her. Sounds like what I want my continent named after! Well, a woman riding a bull...hmm where else have I heard that? Oh yeah, Revelation. In Revelation, the "harlot" rides the "beast" and this is connected with the evil Babylonian Empire. The EU even has a statue of this woman riding a beast at their parliament building in Brussels. Okay, so let's go into this "Babylon" connection. The EU built one of their parliamentary buildings in Strasbourg, France. The building was designed after the Tower of Babel of Genesis 11. There is a famous painting of the Tower of Babel, and it is this painting which allowed the EU to create a similar building. The point by the EU is that they see the Tower of Babel as a perfect symbol of unity. The Tower of Babel was built at a time when there was a single language and people were all working together. Sounds great! The problem was that the people believed they didn’t need God. They also thought that if they could build the tower high enough, they could reach heaven, and therefore reach God. It is secular humanism at its highest. It was an attempt to throw of God and become Gods ourselves. Check out the pictures below to see what I’m discussing. You’ll see a poster put out by the European Council which reads: “Europe: many tongues, one voice.” Notice on the Strasbourg building how they left the building unfinished just like the painting. They even used protrusions from the building to make it appear as if the building has scaffolding around it.

Deal with this information however you want. Believe it’s just a wacko conspiracy or just harmless if you want to, but I really believe the EU is power hungry. I believe that is why the US is trying to catch up with the NAU. The EU, is way ahead of us on this path to globalism. They even tried to pass an EU constitution. 2 countries rejected it, but once this passes, that will be the end of national sovereignty in Europe. Google any of this stuff to fact check me or try these links 1 and 2.
