EU OPEN BORDERS TO ALL

The Bible says the Eu will devour the whole world, Rehn here says Europes borders are open to all.

DANIEL 2:40
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: for as much as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

DANIEL 7:7,23-24
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

REVELATION 13:3,7-8,16
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Rehn says EU borders are not fixed10.04.2006 - 09:55 CET By Honor Mahony

How many new member states the EU can take on is not a fixed statistic but rather a dynamic concept, according to EU enlargement commissioner Olli Rehn. In an interview with German daily Die Welt, Mr Rehn outlines what the commission means by the term "absorption capacity."A vague phrase referring to how many member states the bloc can expand to without losing its ability to function - "absorption capacity" has often been used in terms of a warning to potential EU members such as the Western Balkans and Turkey.

According to the commissioner, however, the term is "not a statistical but rather a dynamic concept". For the bloc to able to take on new member states, the union "must be able to function; the accession of a new country must be financially doable and the poltical goals of the union cannot be endangered by the accession. [Economic] growth and institutional reform are a part of this", says Mr Rehn.

The Finnish commissioner is also reluctant to say where Europe's borders lie or when membership is not an option for a country."Europe's borders are defined rather by values than by geographical guidelines. Certainly, geographical borders set out the framework, but values define the borders"
.
Mr Rehn also says that any European country can apply to join the EU so long as it fulfils certain democratic and human rights criteria."Any European country that respects values like democracy, human rights and rule of law can apply to be a member [of the EU]. That does not mean that we have to accept every country. But it would also be wrong to close the door forever by drawing a line in a map that forever sets the borders of Europe".

The commissioner, who is fighting rising enlargement fatigue among several national governments, said that the EU must stick by its commitment of 2003 to give the Western Balkans countries an EU membership perspective. "In the Balkan countries around 20 to 25 million people live altogether - that is doable for the EU with its total population of around 450 million", he argues.

Countering the argument that the EU will become simply an economic area without the political integration if it takes on too many member states, Mr Rehn said "the history of the EU shows that enlargement and [political] deepening are not opposites." The EU more than doubled the number of its members from 12 to 25 since 1989. At the same time, political and economic
integration was pushed forward, he said, pointing to the introduction of the euro and the Schengen zone, the EU's borderless area.
