THE European Union's heads of government last night signed Europe's first constitution, marking the start of a continent-wide, uphill battle to secure it popular acceptance among the 25 member states.
The constitutional treaty was signed in the Campidoglio, Rome's spectacular Michelangelo-designed town hall where the Treaty of Rome, which first set the EU in motion, was signed in 1957.
The centre of Rome was closed for security reasons for the first time in modern history and one of the city's airports was also closed to the public to cope with the incoming flood of dignitaries. But after the theatricals were over, the heads of government faced returning home to get the constitution ratified by June 2006 at the latest.
Some will simply put it to a vote in their parliaments, but up to 19 countries will hold a referendum. Belgium, Denmark, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Britain are certain to do so.
It will be the biggest popular consultation in the continent that gave the world democracy, probably involving more than half the EU's citizens and more than half of its countries. Previously, few European governments have dared put new EU treaties to their people.
"This is a seismic shift in EU politics. The EU is on the cusp of a direct democracy revolution," wrote Daniel Keohane of the left-leaning, pro-EU Centre for European Reform.
The outcome is far from clear. With Euroscepticism at record levels in many countries, opinion polls suggest at least four countries -- Britain, Poland, the Czech Republic and Denmark -- could reject it, while in France and Ireland, opinion is sharply divided.
It would only take one country to say "no" to throw the whole project in doubt. If several countries, or a founding country such as France, said "no", it would plunge the EU into its worst crisis. The trouble is that while countries vote enthusiastically to join the EU, they then have a habit of rejecting new treaties.
The Danes voted against the Maastricht Treaty, the Irish against the Nice Treaty and Europhile France passed the Maastricht treaty by only 51 per cent.
The EU's biggest project, the euro, was adopted by 12 nations without any of them having approved it with a referendum.
Italy has announced it wants to be first to ratify the treaty.

Ultimate trilogy of satanic cerimonies, extending over a time period of exactly one month.
This is the second cerimony, at the very same city where the trilogy started.
Note also that it was signed under a sculpture of Pope Innocent X, while at the same time the word "God" and "Christian" is erased from the constitution of any EU european countries that still had it in their constitution.

This to me has bad energy all around it. If I were in a European country I would not be in favor of it. It's kind of like the UN of Europe. I halfway expect it not to make it but I didn't think it would make it this far. Socialism is alive and well. I could see them trying to force us into the Kyoto treaty with economic threats.

Any pointing to the EU being a part of the end times is sheer bunk.
Revelation has been interpreted and reinterpreted millions of times without any of it in the form of "future prophesy" aligning with what has happened in the past.
I can't believe my "ghost" is able to write these words, as Jack Van Impe said the end times started on Jan 1st, 2000.
Christians who seek to predict the arrival of Christ are playing God.
The Bible says no one will know that time.
Follow Christ with all your heart and mind. This is the one way we have true assurance.
Once that is followed, there can be no fear or concern of an "end time".

Christians who seek to predict the arrival of Christ are playing God. First of all, I'm not seeking to predict the arrival of Christ.

First of all : the fact that what started in 313 with Constantine and the Roman Empire, growing over the centuries, has been officially destroyed with this seal in a few minutes - for you that's sheer bunk, right ?

Yup.
Christ can come back at any time.
Our interpretations of what a "seal" actually constituted is irrelevant.
To: ScottM1968
Christ can come back at any time.
Again, this is not what I'm discussing. I'm discussing humans accepting to carry the mark of the beast.

The "Mark of the Beast" is also an optional thing (if it has not already come and gone) should Christ come back tonight.
When Paul had to instruct the early church against their giving away of possessions dur to the thought that Christ was coming back that week, you must be able to see the problem we have with ever believing we know better than they that all the signs in Revelation and elsewhere are fulfilled.
And they didn't have Social Security numbers.
To: ScottM1968
And they didn't have Social Security numbers.
Again this has nothing to do with what I wrote. I appreciate replies but I will ignore unrelated ones.

All other "prophesies" are irrelevant if not from the Bible.
To: ScottM1968
Can you give me an example, from your point of view, of a prophecy of the Bible that has turn reality in your time ?
