GREECE WILL BRING FORTH THE BEAST OF REVELATIONS
Christians are getting excited t the current situation in Greece.
It is the precursor to the EU becoming the famous Beast in Revelations
with 7 heads and 10 horns and 10 crowns on top of the horns.
when the EU was established in Rome in 1957 with 7 countries
the Christians waited until they increased to 10 so prophecy can be fulfilled.
typically the prophecy failed, just in the same way as the failed second coming , and the number of states in the EU increased to 28.
but Christians knew the prophecy will eventually be fulfilled, just as the second coming will eventually happen.
the current situation in Greece could be IT!!
This is the precursor they have been waiting for.
Greece will begin the unravelling and the EU will fall apart.
The present 28 countries will revert to just 10.
Thus becoming the infamous 10 horns with 10 crowns.
Go Greece!!!!! vote NO!!!! OXI!!

1)Greece doesn't want to get out of the Eurozone, their leaders said it clearly.
2)the Eurozone isn't the EU: for example, UK is only member of the second.
3)other countries are waiting to join the EU and the Eurozone. their end is not in sight, even without the Greeks.
4)even if the EU will be reduced to 10 countries, the prophecy won't be fulfilled, just like all the other times you think it will. better start work on the new excuse.
..."the Christians waited until they increased to 10 so prophecy can be fulfilled."
This is how prophecies are fulfilled. Wait until the conditions are right, then act out the words of the prophecy as they were written, and claim that the prophecy was a true miracle because it happened as foretold!

Um, sorry to spoil your numerological fun, but it was six countries.

That was in 1981, with the admission of... Greece.
Heard on the news yesterday that Greeks are accepting Pounds instead of, or in spite of, Euros. Especially as the banks there are running out of the latter.
Britain isn't in the Euro.
So British tourists - and my country is one of the largest sources of tourist revenue for that part of the world - could help to prevent it's collapse.
The Pound is very strong right now.
A secret deal between the Bank of England and the Greek government? Who knows? Even if Greece splits away from the Euro, the Drachma supported by such a strong currency? Who knows.
Nothing's impossible.
Except 'Armageddon', of course. >:D
ironically, leaving the Eurozone --- even if no other part of the EU --- could legitimately help Greece's economical situation, by allowing them to controllably inflate away their debt.
yes, i'm one of those pesky modern monetary theory people who think the euro is a half-baked experiment that needs to shit or get off the pot. Germany is not being helpful in this, at all, either.
"The present 28 countries will revert to just 10. "
Unless Turkey gets in and the present 28 countries becomes 29. They you will look like a moron.
Not that you don't already.
You do know that Revelation says that one of the heads of that beast had a mortal wound that was healed up, don't you? So it's referring to an actual monster, not a bunch of nations.
Of course, it was written by someone tripping balls on mushrooms anyway, so there's no reason to take it seriously.

Kind of like how they made Israel a country again in 1947, partially because the bible said it would be restored at some point. Then all the fundies use that as evidence of biblical prophecy come true.

That could still apply to Greece...
Greece has a GDP of about $240 billion and 11 million people. So the population is about the size of Ohio's and the economy is about the size of Louisiana's.
Their national debt is about $380 billion. We could add them as the 51st state and hardly notice the increase.
This is not as big a deal as some people are making it out to be. The EU isn't going to unravel.
The problem is the Euro. If Greece still had the drachma, it could devalue its currency and greatly alleviate the situation. A devalued drachma would make Greece highly attractive for all those German vacation dollars. Spain could do the same thing if it still had the peseta.
Monetary experts warned that a common European currency wasn't a good idea. Looks like they were right.
"Christians are getting excited [about] the current situation in Greece. "
Why? Because it's a sign to them that the world is coming to a end. A time when billions will be slaughtered and the rivers will run red with blood. Except for their god's extra special fans who will get to watch the devastation from his VIP box.
But remember, it's not a death cult!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
