Brian, it's going to be a different world following Gog/Magog. So I think we have consider.... (I think I will start a new thread so everyone can put in their two bits).Now the theory that the EU would take over also assumed that they would rise in economic power and military power while the US declined. In reality all the nations of the earth including the EU with Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Spain are already facing economic collapse.
1. the period before Gog/Magog - where we are now. What could materialize.
2. the period after Gog/Magog - when the world thinks it has entered the messianic age.
3. the period when the Day of the Lord begins - by the Antichrist revealing himself to be the man of sin.
In the days of the ten kings (implied in by the ten toes in Daniel 2 being the same ten kings in Daniel 7 of the fourth kingdom) the Kingdom of God will be established here on earth.
That fourth kingdom in Daniel 2, in its last stages, is made up of iron and clay (nations, it would appear). As you point out Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Spain are weak facing financial collapse. I would include Italy in that group.
So the EU is entering a crisis period, imo, and some catalyst event is going to move them to the next and final stage of the ten leader form of government.
