GOD LEFT OUT OF EU CONSTITUTION: FRANCE SAYS ‘NO’
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
"’This is the first time I am enthusiastic about a French revolution,’ Andre Rouwvoet, of the Protestant ChristenUnie, said. ‘This constitution has no soul. ... They did not want to put a reference to the European Judeo-Christian tradition in. ... This is a rewriting of history of sorts.’"
Lorne Cook of the Agence France-Press reports more detail regarding French voters saying NO to the new European Union constitution. It’s expected that the Netherlands will follow the French negative.
There was much clamor about the EU constitution leaving God out of the document. Pope John Paul II particularly appealed to the writers to be true to European history and include in it a reference to God. However, attempting to be totally secular, the EU writers purposefully deleted any naming of the divine.
Bible scholars who research scriptural prophecy in particular have watched specifically the development of the EU and its potential members’ reaction to its formation. There are those who believe that the present European geography will be the ruling base for the future AntiChrist, biblical detail given symbolically in Revelation 13. A completely secular EU constitution would thereby blend in perfectly with a demonic leader.
A similar attempt as secularization has been made in the United States; however, the response of biblical Christians has been particularly vocal. In fact, many interpreted the Red States win with George W. Bush returning to the Oval Office as the moral base turning back the secular tide. There is a concerted effort by Christian believers to keep intact the Judeo-Christian heritage of America while secularists continue to fight for the country’s rewrite of the past.
"The European Union scrambled yesterday to pick up the pieces after a devastating French ‘no’ to the new EU constitution -- and braced for a Dutch vote that could deal a killer blow to its long-cherished integration blueprint.
"EU leaders called for a ‘pause for reflection’ as opinion polls showed that Dutch voters will probably follow those in France, who voted by some 55 percent to 45 percent Sunday to reject the proposed European constitution.
"A snap poll yesterday showed the Dutch ‘no’ camp had been strengthened by the French outcome, with 59 percent now planning to reject the constitution."
