Germany, Spain and France to work 'hand-in-hand' for Europe

Zapatero gives a thumbs-up to the Constitution (Photo: PSOE)

The months of wrangling between Spain and the Franco-German alliance over the Constitution seemed a distant memory yesterday (29 April) as the French President and Spanish premier stressed complete agreement on Europe's future.

After talks between France and Spain, French leader Jacques Chirac said, "In Berlin, as well as in Paris, there is a very strong desire to walk down the European road hand-in-hand with Spain", according to AFP.

Spanish premier Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero replied, in slightly less flowery style, "France and Spain must work together to build an active, dynamic and strong Europe".

All change

What a difference 5 months make.

In December, Madrid - albeit with a different government - was fighting tooth and nail to preserve their voting rights gained in the Treaty of Nice.

France and Germany were equally stubborn on the issue and it seemed the deadlock would never be broken.

But the terrorist attacks in March and the subsequent change of government in Spain has changed the political landscape in Europe and has enabled progress to be made.

And now Mr Zapatero says that "Spain will spare no effort to reach an agreement in this present term". The Constitution is expected to be signed in mid-June.

Arguments over money

But as in any close relationship, not everything runs completely smoothly and often the root of the problem is money. This is the case with this new menage-a-trois.

Berlin and Paris want to see a lower maximum limit placed on the EU budget for the period 2007-2013 but Madrid believes that the ceiling should be much higher.

It didn't take Spain's new Socialist Regime to hook up with the bad apples of France & Germany. Another possibility of three horns to be subdued.

Europe celebrates historic day

At midnight on 30 April, the European Union grew from 15 to 25 countries. Eight new member states from central and eastern Europe plus the two the Meditteranean islands of Malta and Cyprus have joined the club in the biggest enlargement of the EU ever.

Today, to mark the historic occasion, Europe's papers take a look at the implications, good and bad, for the EU.

El Pais, Spain

Fourteen long years after the fall of the Berlin wall, Dublin today marks a landmark of hope for Europe, with the integration of ten new members in the EU, eight of which remained behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War.

It does not fit to talk about the reunification of the continent, because save some attempts marked by the jackboot not by free will of citizens, this Europe has never been united.

Diario de Noticias, Portugal

For the Portuguese it is easy to understand what the people of the new European partners are feeling

Who's At The Wheel?

The following months should be particularly interesting. As you know, as of May 1 the European Union enlarged itself into a 25 nation monster. But the problem is, according to reports, no decision has been made as to who will be in charge (Read about it here)>>>> http://www.euobserver.com/index.phtml?sid=9&aid=15426

As I said on May 1, I find this hard to believe. It's not like the founding EU member states have all suddenly gone fishing. In fact, the enlargement process began in their mind some time ago.

Looking forward to today's enlargement, the EU Commission presented its Agenda 2000. The idea was, by the end of 2000, the EU was to be ready for the new member states May 2004.

The interesting thing about Agenda 2000 to me is, my book, Recommendation 666, records the events and actions taken by the EU in 2000 to prepare for today's enlargement.

The final act of these EU heads in December 2000 was the signing of the Nice Treaty. This agreement assured the 10 Western European Union nations the majority vote, even after the 10 new members arrived in 2004.

In June we're told the EU heads will decide how the EU will vote at 25. In other words, this coming June we'll see if those 10 core nations find a way to maintain control.

And in the mean time, we're told 25 nations have piled into the EU for a ride, and nobody knows who will be at the wheel in June.

Does this sound like something you'd let your daughter do?

Stay tuned!

EU's labour restrictions a Communist idea, says former Polish President

EUOBSERVER / STRASBOURG - Former Polish President Lech Walesa today accused the "old" EU countries of "Communism" over their plans to restrict access to their labour markets for citizens from central and eastern Europe.

"This is Communism, ladies and gentlemen", he told journalists in Strasbourg.

"How can you come up with such an idea. This is Communism".

Mr Walesa, who is a guest of honour at a ceremony to mark EU enlargement in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, also said that the EU needs different economic and democratic systems to be able to cope in the 21st century.

He said that after the collapse of Communism, Poland

Solana's War Game

I've been wondering what the EU's High Representative Javier Solana has been up to. This morning I found out.

It seems Solana, NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer and former United States Senator Sam Nunn have been busy at NATO headquarters.

What were they doing? They were presenting a closed-door war game to demonstrate to over 50 European officials what would happen if al-Qaeda exploded a nuclear device near NATO's headquarters in Brussels Read about it here.

The computerized simulation they presented revealed over 40,000 would be killed immediately -- spreading panic across Europe, and the world's economy would go into turmoil.

And according to the report, Senator Nunn said:

We are in a race between cooperation and catastrophe. To win this race, we have to achieve cooperation on a scale we've never seen or attempted before.

One more thing: Solana's Mr. Terror was there too, Gijs de Vries.

Yes in deed, Solana is taking his mandate to fight a global war against terror seriously. In order to fight this war, he would have to mobilize his people -- to make them see the threat.

And, that's what he's been up to.

Black Dawn

People in the know are scared. And well they should be. Last night I saw United States Senator Joseph Biden on C-span speaking to the European press -- he was pleading for Europe's help. Biden said things like:

Folks, this is a crisis.

There is a need urgently to change the environment. And, we can't do it alone.

It's time for the President to call a meeting of the major powers now.

Recently I mentioned Javier Solana's war game conducted at NATO headquarters. It was a computer simulation of what would happen if al Qaeda exploded a nuclear device in Brussels. They called the war game Black Dawn (Read about it here)>>>> http://www.guardian.co.uk/eu/story/0,7369,1209550,00.html

The name says it all. The Western world stands on the brink of chaos. And it's my opinion our leaders aren't as much trying to prevent another 9/11 as they are trying to prepare for its aftermath.

You see, it's becoming a matter of survival. That's why we're seeing things like the Patriot Act in America and war games in Brussels named Black Dawn. And this being the case with our world leaders, we as God's people might consider what this means to us.

I believe Jesus already gave our answer to this question. You see, when I think of the coming Black Dawn, I'm reminded of something Jesus said. He said:

We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world (John 9: 4-5 New American Standard Bible).

This is our answer. As Jesus long ago predicted, people in the know today are scared (Luke 21: 25-26). But, we're people in the know too. And we know how this will all end.

You see, we've been given Bible prophecy for a reason. We are to use it to prove the Bible is God's Word and Jesus is God's way of salvation.

We are to show how in the ancient Scripture God picked a people and a land and said with these He was going to prove Himself to the world.

And we also are to remind this fearful world it's not only time for the foretold Black Dawn, it's also time for His Glorious Return!

Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written,

"KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

(Revelation 19: 10-16)

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
