The Joy of the European Union.

You never know how a marriage will work out until the years begin to pass and the clauses of "for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse" begin to take effect.
Yesterday a solution to the migrant crisis of the European Union was voiced in a meeting of leaders in Dublin, Ireland.
For those member states reluctant to accept their "fair" share of refugees a fine will be levied to help change their mind.
It has been set at $250,000.00 for every person refused entry into that respective country.
Do the math. If 20,000 refugees applied to enter Poland and were refused, the Polish government would be fined five hundred million dollars.
This is not what the member states envisaged on their happy wedding day with the common market ten, fifteen or twenty years ago when the champagne corks were popping and everybody was on the dance floor together.
But now adopted children are arriving by the million and the European House is proving to small to hold them all.
In the 7th Chapter of Daniel there is a stark vision of a union of nations, depicted as a beast with ten horns.
Out from the ten horns arises a single horn with hypnotic eyes and a big mouth telling the rest of the horns the WAY THINGS ARE GOING TO BE!
Sounds like the big conference in Dublin yesterday.
All of this is foretold in chapter 7 v 8.
Bad news.
But read the next verses. It all about Jesus coming back and taking the real refugees back to Heaven with Him..... free of charge.

Now that is GOOD NEWS indeed.
Jubilate.
