The Union of the Beast

If you are worried about the end of the world and the part the European Union is going to play in it, you are probably Ian Paisley. The right reverend honorary doctor tells us that the 1999 Parliament of Europe is fulfilling Revelations, by showing a harlot riding a beast on its currency and promoting the Tower of Babel. But most strikingly, the seat bearing the number of the beast has been left unoccupied: "The Antichrist's seat will be occupied. The world awaits his full and final development. The Lord will destroy him by the spirit of His mouth (the Word of God) and by the brightness of His coming (2 Thes. 2:8). The coming of the Lord draweth nigh." I couldn't have put it better myself.
