British Prime Minister Wants to Recreate The Roman Empire

Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party, has always been controversial but he raised the volume last week when he suggested that the best way to unite Europe was by recreating the Roman Empire.

His vision of the Roman Empire in the 21st century is based on a partnership that included Turkey and the North African states. At the NATO summit in Madrid last month, he told replrters that this would be based on the Mare Nostrum, the Latin term for the Mediterranean Sea.

It is interesting to note that 19th-century Italian nationalist fascists used the term to describe Italy as the successor state to the Roman Empire. The term was again taken up by Benito Mussolini for use in fascist propaganda, in a similar manner to Adolf Hitler’s lebensraum system of colonialism.

Johnson’s plan was in contrast to the ‘European Political Community’ presented by France’s President Emmanuel Macron to the European Parliament on May 9. This community would allow the EU to force closer ties with non-members, such as the UK and the nations of the western Balkans.

“We live in amazing times.”

You bet.

I believe all of the following prophetic events will happen this, the 21st Century which, if I’m right, will be the most amazing century ever.

1) A worldwide awakening of the body of Christ to the return of Gospel of the Grace of Christ (Jude 3). Underway as we speak.

2) Largely as a result of 1), a final worldwide incoming of souls to Jesus before it all comes crashing down (Luke 14:23). I believe we’re on the very threshold of this right now.

3) The “great catching up” AKA “the rapture” of the saints to Jesus in the clouds (the first part of his second coming) and into Heaven (Matt. 24:36-41). I have reason to believe this will happen sometime during the second half of this century. Lot of reasons to think so, actually. In fact it’s amazing it wouldn’t come sooner, but I believe our merciful and loving God waits for this final harvest and rescue of souls from the unbelievably horrific and deadly wrath to come (James 5:7).

4) Daniel’s 70th Week AKA the seven-year tribulation, launched immediately on earth when the saints and the Holy Spirit are removed from earth to Heaven. So many, including many Christians, underestimate the horror and death during this short period. No one on earth will survive except for a relative handful of Jews hiding in the mountains of Jordan (Matt. 24:4-35; Rev Chapts. 6-19; Dan. 9:27). I believe this will happen sometime in the second half of this century immediate upon the event of the rapture.

5) After seven yeas exactly, the second part of the second coming of Christ with us - “ten thousands of his saints” - from Heaven to earth to execute Armageddon upon all those that hate God, and the setting up of Jesus Christ as the Prince of Peace worldwide ruler - King of kings and Lord of lords for 1000 years (Rev. 19:11-20:4).

Wow.

This century will end with Jesus himself as the worldwide ruler as the Prince of Peace. Truly amazing.

Couple of notes.

The “rapture” launches the greatest party ever - the seven-year Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven with, incredibly, Jesus serving us (He always does and LOVES to) (Luke 12:37). Can’t wait for that one.

Notice that Satan, the great counterfeiter, inserts himself as the horrific worldwide ruler during the tribulation to try to copy what God is about to do (Satan always tries to copy what God is about to do but counterfeits it).

One of the most important lessons to be learned from the Roman Imperium is the corrupting effect of power.

Although it seems like it would have been great to be part of the Claudio-Julian Family at the onset of the Imperium, on second thought it would be terrible. Nobody could be trusted. You couldn't even trust yourself. Everyone in your family would be thinking that he/she must seize the superb opportunities that such power gives--and everyone would have a different idea of what that might mean.

It would be so easy to commit some terrible act.

It would be so easy to eliminate someone who was in your way--or whom you disliked--or who seemed worthless--or even on a whim.

It would be so easy to start down the pathway of corruption, an increment at a time, until you had destroyed everything about yourself and everything in the world that you cherish.

Years ago, when I was establishing myself in business, a man I had enlisted for advice suggested an arrangement I could make that would make it possible for me to cheat the people I worked with out of large sums of money.

"You wouldn't have to do that," he said. "You would just reserve that option."

"I don't want to have an option like that," I replied. "I don't even want to be able to do something like that!" I envisioned some terrible possibility, such as a sick child or something that might tempt me to exercise such an evil option.

Of course I refused his suggestion.

I also refused to do business with that particular man again. I wanted nothing to do with him.

To have absolute power might seem like a great blessing, but it would be a terrible thing.

Corruption is a terrible thing.

The corruption in the US Federal Government is frightening and dangerous. Any honest, intelligent person in America should be alarmed.
