French and Germans Explore Idea of Smaller Euro Zone


On Thursday, September 22, 2011, I posted the following message, which was entitled, “Member Countries of the European Union (EU).”
The EU currently has 27 member countries, which have transferred some of their sovereignty, or lawmaking authority, to the EU. I believe that very shortly we will have something far less than 27 EU members.  The number that I have in mind is "10."  Which ten will eventually make up the EU? 
Well now, Reuters report, "German and French officials have discussed plans for a radical overhaul of the European Union that would involve establishing a more integrated and potentially smaller euro zone.  French President Nicolas Sarkozy gave some insight to his thinking during an address to students in the eastern French city of Strasbourg on Tuesday, when he said a two-speed Europe -- the euro zone moving ahead more rapidly than all 27 countries in the EU -- was the only model for the future.  Also, the discussions among senior policymakers in Paris, Berlin and Brussels go further, raising the possibility of one or more countries leaving the euro zone, while the remaining core pushes on towards deeper economic integration, including on tax and fiscal policy."
Now, where did I come up with my “10 nations?”   I arrived at it from Biblical prophecy.  Look up and read for yourself in Daniel 7: 19-27 and Revelation 17: 12-13.
