It may seem an odd image to you, this one, but it is nothing new. You see, the imagery is thousands of years old. The lady on the bull is a representation of an ancient Greek mythological image, Europa riding the Bull. The legend says that the daughter of a Phoenician king, a beautiful maiden named Europa, was out with her ladies in waiting by the shore enjoying the water, when along came a beautiful white bull. The ladies were so fascinated with him that Europa worked up the courage to ride him. When she climbed on, he took off and swam away with her! Or so the legend of the Greek historian, Morschus, goes. In fact, the bull was none other than Zeus, the king of all Greek gods. He took Europa away to the distant island of Crete, and supposedly raped her and thereby fathered several half-god, half-human children with her. Sort of like Hercules. She was later worshipped as a goddess, too.

But these pictures are recent, and are, from left to right, from a well-known German magazine, Der Spiegel, from Time Magazine , and the right hand photo of the statue was taken in Strasbourg, France, outside a headquarters building for the European Union. **This woman riding the beast is their symbol of a united Europe. It is common in their sphere to see this image. It is even on a gigantic mural in the EU's Parliament Building, recently built in Brussels, Belgium. The woman carries a blue flag with 12 stars. There are now 12 Member States, none of whom is represented by a national leader, or "king". But little by little they are exerting tremendous power across Europe in every area, as they are lead by their president. 

in a place that is about as far removed from the European Union as one can get. 

1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 

2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 

3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 

5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 

6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. 

7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 

8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong [is] the Lord God who judgeth her. 

9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. 

12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 

13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 

14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 

15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 

16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 

17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 

18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like unto this great city! 

19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. 

20 Rejoice over her, [thou] heaven, and [ye] holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. 

21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon 

be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. 

22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of 

whatsoever craft [he be], shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 

23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 

24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Several things are vital to understanding this text, so read it carefully, won't you? You see, the Almighty God knew long, long ago that in the last days Europe would re-unite. In fact, the EU is a re-united part of the Roman Empire, of which ROME is the capitol. But notice who the harlot is: a city on seven hills, one which religiously has gone apostate away from simple worship of the Lord and unto traditions, errors, and heresy. At the very heart of Rome is the RCO. Constantine compromised the Roman Catholic Organization when he mixed Christian faith with the heathen teachings of the Babylonian cult. These were the guys who got together under a leader named Nimrod, forsook the true worship of God, and decided to build a tower "to reach heaven". They wished to be gods themselves and called their tower Babel. Today's RCO is not perfect, although it has some devout people. 

Apparently, the EU is going to use the RCO as its pawn, a religious masthead for awhile, then throw her away, devours her, kill her people.. That becomes her "judgement" predicted in Revelation 18, verse 1. 

When God gave John the Revelator his prophecy in the book of Revelation, the "goddess" became a "whore", a highly political religion which becomes world wide, apostate, and sinful. In the later days of the EU, the leader will get so proud he will commit what God calls "The abomination that makes desolate" when he declares that HE IS GOD! When he does that, he and his group of leaders will "devour" the RCO, overthrow her and her dear people "in one hour", and declare the worship of "the beast" to be the true religion. That beast spoken of is none other than the President of the EU! At that time, there will be only 10 Member states total for a short time. 

Here are some pictures of Mr. Romano Prodi, from the Official EU website, EUROPA.NET 

He looks like a nice guy, doesn't he? He is said to be. Now, honestly, I doubt that Mr. Prodi is the one called "the beast". The beast will have thousands murdered because they serve the Lord God and will not take HIS MARK on their hand or forehead. Mr. Prodi is more likely to be that man's predecessor, since the Bible book of Daniel says that in the very last part of his reign, the one called "the beast" will overthrow several other leaders and have the throne for a short while. 

But how weird it is to know that God gave us an accurate description of that last days kingdom, one represented by a woman riding a beast, one predicted thousands of years ago. It is a kingdom whose worship becomes false worship centering in Rome, a city who is saddling a terrible man, whom the Bible calls just that "The man of Sin". That symbol is even on the EU money, the new EURO that was issued to all the Member States of the EU in January of 2002. Notice that on these Euro coins from Greece, the woman on the beast is shown.
