We watch Europe closely because the Bible tells us that in the future a European –centered "beast" power is the final resurrection of the Roman Empire, one of the four great gentile empires of Daniels' vision (Daniel 7)—it will be the final manifestation of the empire that fights Christ as His return (Revelation 17:12-14).
This European-centered "beast" power, as the Bible defines it, is the final resurrection of the Roman Empire, one of the four great gentile empires of Daniel's vision (Daniel 7) that have largely dominated civilization through the centuries—and will again rise just before Christ's return.
Revelation 17 gives us more details about this coming superpower: "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour [a prophetic reference to a short time] as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. These will make war with the Lamb [Jesus], and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings . . ." (verses 12-14).
