Will Western Europe become the world empire in the last days?

Les teaches that we should watch Western Europe because it is coming up, up, up, and that European companies are buying up American companies while we lose our clout and they gain. He affirms that the day will come when Western Europe will be the empire of the world. As this whole Gentile system prepares for its demise at the Second Coming of Christ, the iron and clay starting with the feet picture that a roller smashes from the feet upward, not from the head. Christ will destroy first the empire contemporary with that day, which is the revived Roman Empire. In that revived Roman Empire are all the remains of the previous empires. History shows banking and business began with Babylon, then came the Medes and Persians, and Rome integrated Greek culture rather than destroying it.
