Does secular evidence confirm that the modern European community is the revived Roman Empire?
Yes, a secular writer observed that European nations, despite mutual hatred, can unite into a United States of Europe because they were once together in the Roman Empire. That secular observation sees the modern European community as the very outline of the old Roman Empire, just as Scripture said it would be.
Les explains that a secular writer described Western Europe's hatreds, problems, and potential, and ended her article by saying it may seem odd for these nations to come together as a United States of Europe. But she reminded readers that every one of these nations had been in an empire together once before—the Roman Empire. Les concludes that even a secular writer can see that what is coming out of Europe now is the very outline of that same old Roman Empire, just exactly as Scripture said it was. He then connects this to Revelation and Daniel, the ten horns, the bestial government, and the residue of the ancient Roman Empire with a seeming democracy but an absolute ruler.
