A Brussels announcement stated the “EU is to be given similar rights and powers to a fully fledged nation state in the United Nations general assembly” (The Daily Telegraph, July 15, 2010).  This will mean that “Europe’s desk will be moved from the margins, where it sits with organizations such as NATO’s parliamentary body, near to the centre of the UN’s assembly chamber” (ibid). 

The British Foreign Secretary, William Hague, has expressed concerns that the EU could use its more prominent position and expanding foreign policy powers “to undermine Britain’s role on the UN Security Council.”  Another observer states, “This is the thin end of the wedge.  How long before David Cameron concedes our seat at the UN Security Council?” (ibid). 

Long ago, God foretold the demise of His chosen people and their loss of influence at the end of the age due to their rejection of His ways, “The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower…he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail” (Deuteronomy 28:43-44).  We are watching this take place right in front of our eyes today!
