(March 25, 2009)  This recent headline may be more prophetic than the leader who said it realizes:  EU presidency: US stimulus is ‘the road to hell’  Czech Prime Minister and current President of the European Union Mirek Topolanek declared, “All of these steps, these combinations and permanency is the road to hell. We need to read the history books and the lessons of history and the biggest success of the (EU) is the refusal to go this way. Americans will need liquidity to finance all their measures and they will balance this with the sale of their bonds but this will undermine the liquidity of the global financial market.” The article states that other EU leaders tried to downplay his remarks, “It was the strongest pushback yet from a European leader as the 27-nation bloc bristles from U.S. criticism that it is not spending enough to stimulate demand. Shocked by the outburst, other European politicians went into damage control mode, with some reproaching the Czech leader for his language and others reaffirming their good diplomatic ties with the United States. The leaders of EU’s major nations — France, Britain and Germany, among others — largely ignored Topolanek and his remarks.”

One day a global economic collapse will lead to the rise of the Antichrist. In the Book of Revelation John saw a judgment come upon the earth that caused economic distress. He wrote what God showed him, “⁵And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. ⁶And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.” (Revelation 6:5-6) This passage is saying that it will take a day’s wages to buy food at the beginning of God’s final judgment of the earth. Jesus declared that some of the signs before His second coming would be, “⁷For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. ⁸All these are the beginning of sorrows.” (Matthew 24:7-8) Economic chaos can lead to famines and pestilences. As a result of the tribulation the world is thrust into an evil leader will rise on the global scene. He will seem to have all the answers to the world’s problems and Revelation ch. 13 declares that the world will “wonder” or worship and follow after him. However, his true nature will be exhibited when he is possessed by the Devil who will give him his full authority to take his wrath out on the world.  Just as Adolph Hitler came to power out of the economic crisis in Germany after WWI so too the Antichrist will arise out of a global economic crisis. Then the world will truly be on “the road to hell”. Whether or not the current global situation is the precursor to his ascendancy remains to be seen. If not, then it will be a very similar scenario sometime in the future that will lead to the fulfillment of biblical End-Times prophecy.
