EUROP IN PROPHECY

THE IRON AND THE CLAY NATIONS

0n May 29, THE French-in a legally binding referendum-rejected the proposed European Union constitution. Three days later, a Dutch referendum submitted an even more dogmatic rejection of the charter. These two events are fulfilling a major prophecy about end-time Europe that few understand.

The all-important key to under- standing Bible prophecy-and, by extension, world events-is identifying Israel in those prophecies.

Herbert W. Armstrong's book The United States and Britain in Prophecy explains, in thorough, riveting detail, how the Americanand British peoples largely fulfill this prophetic role. 

When you understand that the U.S. and Britain are the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, upon whom the birthright of Israel was conferred millennia ago (see Genesis 48:16-20), world events leap into focus. Ephraim and Manasseh were sons of Joseph, who was one of the patriarch Israel's 12 sons. The descendants of another of Israel's sons, Judah, now inhabit the small nation in the Middle East called Israel.

Identifying Israel's descendants is not only vital to understanding the Anglicized world and the Middle East in global affairs, it is also crucial to understanding European events, because Israel's other 10 Sons inhabit mainland Europe today.

The united Europe we see today is currently composed of Israelite nations as well as non-1sraelite (or Gentile) nations. That awkward mixture is at the heart of Europe's woes. Believe it or not, this was prophesied in your Bible! 

Daniel 2 contains a prophecy of four major world-ruling kingdoms that would exist from the reign of Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon down to our day. This prophecy is described through a visual aid-a great image of a statue with head of gold (the Babylonian empire), breast and arms of silver (the Medo-Persian empire), belly and waist of brass (the Greco-Macedonian empire) and two legs of iron (the Roman Empire). 

The feet and the toes of this image, however, show the iron mixing with "miry clay" (Daniel 2:43). 

God tells Israel, in Jeremiah 18:6, that He is the potter and it is the clay.

Notice how this clay will affect the final resurrection of the Roman Empire, which we see rising in Europe today currently under the name of "European Union": And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of tne iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay" (Daniel 2:41). 

Yes, this final resurrection of the Roman Empire will have the strength of the previous empire, but there's more. Verse 42: "And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken [or brittle]".

How brittle is the European Union today? What is the cause of this divisiveness? Well, just take a look at the nations creating the fuss over the EU constitution as a characteristic example.

There has never been more turmoil over Europe's constitution-even the Union's very existence than in the months leading up to the French referendum on whether the nation should ratify the document. Poll after poll showed that the French would reject the treaty, even if narrowly. This sent Europe into a panic. Eurocrats scrabbled up all sorts of ideas--from helping the French leadership campaign for the treaty to devising a plan B should the French reject it. One plan was to let the rest of Europe ratify it and then take it back to the French a second time (Denmark needed a repeat referendum over the 1992 Maastricht Treaty; Ireland likewise for the 2002 Nice Treaty). Germany did all it could to help the effort; it completed its own parliamentary ratification process just two days earlier, hoping that would help boost French support.

France (modern-day Reuben) couldn't reject it, or so many insisted, for France was a founding member-and a core one at thatof a European federation. Adding insult to injury, three days after the French rejected the constitution, Holland (Zebulun's descendants), another founding member of the united-Europe idea, gave an even more resounding "nee in its referendum. This too was disheartening to European policymakers.

Notice too which other nations have provoked fear among Europhile politicians, who so desperately want their charter to be implemented. Far-right parties in Belgium (Asher) campaigned hard against the constitution, which is one of the reasons Belgium decided not to have a referendum. Britain and Denmark (modern-day Dan) actually suspended their plans to havea referendum on the constitution. 

In fact, as far as taking the matter to the people, of the 10 European nations that originally planned to do this, six are Israelite nationscountries more rooted in the Judeo-Christian way of thinking. And the countries that had already ratified the treaty by the week of the French and Dutch referenda were all non-Israelite. 

Bible prophecy stands revealed in Europe! Israel certainly is the clay" in this union of nations. It is mixing with the strength of iron and making the resulting union brittle.

Where Are They Now?

The 12 biblical tribes of Israel and what nations they primarily make up today.

Reuben = France 

Simeon = Scattered

Levi = Scattered 

Judah = Israel

Zebulun = The Netherlands 

Issachar = Finland 

Dan = Denmark, Ireland 

Gad = Switzerland 

Asher = Belgium, Luxembourg

Naphtali = Sweden 

Joseph = United States/G. Britain 

Benjamin = Norway 

This final resurrection of the Roman Empire, though strong as iron, will be short-lived because of its unnatural composition. As Daniel 2:43 states, "But they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay." Letting the Bible interpret itself in identifying the "clay' we can know that some Israelite nations will be involved in a united Europeat least for a period of time. We can be sure Britain will not be, however, as the Bible prophesies it will be one of the major victims of the European conglomerate. The point here is that what presently WEAKENS the iron -nature of this empire are the nations that are "clay'as we can see is the case today. 

But before its collapse, a united, iron-strong Europe will dominate this world-and it will directly impact your life. Though it will be for only a short time, these nations of iron and clay will unite under one strong political leader.

3 Modes Of Leadership That You Must Know

PARENTHOOD IS LIFELONG

Parenting is on important aspect of leadership. Inability of some parents to execute the role of leadership appropriately has contributed to the social menace we're experiencing today. Please read the attached story below:

"Every month, Martín's parents took a trip to visit Grandma and returned on the same train the next day. One day, Martín asked, "I'm grown up now. Can I go to Grandma's alone?"

After a short discussion, his parents agreed. They stood with him as he waited for the train to depart, offering final pieces of advice through the window. Martín, feeling confident, reassured them, "I know, I’ve heard this a thousand times."

Just before the train left, his father leaned in and whispered, "Son, if you feel bad or insecure, this is for you," slipping something into his pocket.

Now, Martín was on his own for the first time, sitting on the train just as he had wanted. At first, he admired the passing landscape, but soon he became uneasy. Strangers bustled in and out, creating noise, and one person even looked at him with sympathy.

The conductor made comments about him being alone, and gradually, fear crept in. He felt trapped, unsure of himself.

With tears in his eyes, Martín remembered the item his dad had placed in his pocket. Trembling, he pulled out the piece of paper and unfolded it. It simply read, "Son, I'm in the last train car."

This is how life works. At so useful point we must allow our children to explore new experiences and face challenges on their own. But, as parents, we always remain close, in the background, ready to support them if they are afraid or encounter obstacles. We stay near them for as long as we live, watching over them, quietly ready to help."

Ladies and gentlemen, our heavenly FATHER have all the three and demonstrating it- from the beginning of creation till present and has passed the trait to all that he created.

Musical Legend: Majek Fashek

INTRODUCTION

Majekodunmi Fasheke, widely known as Majek Fashek (March 1963 – June 1, 2020), was a Nigerian singer-songwriter and guitarist. His 1988 album, Prisoner of Conscience, featured the hit single "Send Down the Rain," which earned six PMAN Music Awards. Also referred to as The Rainmaker, he collaborated with numerous artists globally, including Tracy Chapman, Jimmy Cliff, Michael Jackson, Snoop Dogg, and Beyoncé.


EARLY LIFE

Fashek was born in Benin City in 1963 to an Edo mother and an Ijesa father, although he primarily identified with his Benin heritage. Various interpretations of his name, Fasheke (Ifá à ṣe èké), include "powers of miracles" and "divination does not lie." It is associated with the orisha (deity) Ifa, the deity of divination in the Yoruba religion, and translates to "Ifa does not lie or deceive." Following his parents' separation, Fashek stayed in Benin City with his mother and later joined the choir at his local Aladura church, where he learned to play the trumpet and guitar while composing songs for the choir.

MUSICAL CAREER: EARLY 1980s: JAH STILL

In the early 1980s, Fashek, then performing under the stage name Rajesh Kanal, joined the group Jah Stix alongside musicians Amos McRoy Gregg and Black Rice. The trio quickly gained fame as the in-house band for the NTA Benin show Music Panorama and toured with fellow reggae group The Mandators, led by Victor Essiet. Jah Stix also served as session musicians for emerging reggae artist Edi Rasta, later known as Evi-Edna Ogholi.


1987–1990: PRISONER OF CONSCIENCE AND I&I EXPERIENCE
 
After Jah Stix disbanded in 1987, Fashek, now known as Majek Fashek, signed with Tabansi Records and embarked on a solo career, releasing the album Prisoner of Conscience. He quickly rose to prominence as Nigeria's leading reggae artist after "Send Down The Rain" became the year's most popular song. In 1989, he won six PMAN awards, including "Song of the Year," "Album of the Year," and "Reggae Artist of the Year." His subsequent album, I&I Experience, was released in late 1989 under the Tabansi label and featured the anti-apartheid anthem "Free Africa, Free Mandela," which sampled Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye."

IN 1991:

The song 'So Long' and American Invasion
After departing from Tabansi Records, Fashek signed with CBS Nigeria in the early 1990s and released So Long Too Long, which was included in Putumayo World Music's debut album. In 1990, he signed with Interscope Records and released the critically acclaimed album Spirit Of Love, produced by "Little Steven" Van Zandt. In 1992, he appeared on Late Night with David Letterman, performing "So Long Too Long" for the television audience. Flame Tree released The Best of Majek Fashek in 1994. He was later dropped by Interscope but moved to Mango, a division of Island Records, known for marketing reggae internationally. His first album for Mango included a cover of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song," and he recorded several albums for various labels thereafter, including Rainmaker for Tuff Gong (1997) and Little Patience for Coral (2004).


MUSICAL STYLE

Fashek's musical influences included Bob Marley, whom he vocally resembled, Jimi Hendrix, and Fela Kuti. He was among the original Nigerian artists attracted to Caribbean music, particularly reggae, rather than indigenous genres like fuji and jùjú. He was known for blending these styles to create his unique genre, termed kpangolo, and the song "My Guitar," an homage to his favorite instrument, was heavily influenced by rock.

OTHER WORKS

Fashek had a supporting role in the 1999 Nollywood film Mark of the Beast and appeared in a commercial for the non-alcoholic beverage Diamalt. In 2016, he performed for an audience of over 10,000 at a comedy show hosted by Ayo Makun at Eko Hotel Hall in Lagos.

In November 2016, Fashek contributed the song "We Are Not Afraid" to a video directed by former 10CC member Kevin Godley, featuring over 200 celebrities, including 53 members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, to raise funds for the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and Human Rights Watch (HRW).

PERSONAL LIFE

Fashek was married to Rita Fashek, who inspired the song "Without You." The couple had four children but later divorced. In 2015, it was revealed that Fashek was bankrupt and battling drug addiction. After admitting he needed help, he entered a drug rehabilitation center in Abuja, where he recovered and returned to music.


DEATH 

In addition to his struggle with drug addiction, Fashek faced other health issues that necessitated hospitalization on several occasions. Rumors of his death circulated in September 2019, but his manager confirmed that he had been critically ill, hospitalized at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in London, and in urgent need of financial assistance. Billionaire businessman and philanthropist Femi Otedola pledged to cover all of the singer's medical expenses.

Fashek passed away in his sleep on June 1, 2020, in New York City. He was 57 years old and was battling esophageal cancer.
