Is Brexit Mentioned in Bible Prophecy?

In a June 23rd referendum, the people of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union (EU). The media labeled this British exit from the EU “Brexit.” The vote surprised some who study Bible prophecy. After all, many pointed to the EU as the revived Roman Empire of the end times. Now, after the UK’s vote, some have started to doubt that. But should they? Is Brexit a step backward for bible prophecy? Does it mean the EU isn’t the alliance foretold for the end times?

No. If it happens, the exit of such a large and powerful nation will weaken the EU. But it hasn't happened yet. And while some say Brexit signals the end of the EU as the revived Roman Empire, I don’t think so. To me, it’s yet another reason to believe some form of the EU will become that empire...

The word Brexit doesn’t appear in the Bible. However, the Bible does mention a revived Roman Empire in the last days. It will be an empire made up of weak and strong nations. It will be divided against itself, and the effort of these nations to come together and strengthen themselves will be volatile and unstable.

Does this sound familiar? It should. Sounds a lot like the EU, doesn’t it? It's the story of an empire born from a decades-long process marked by division, volatility, and instability. The UK vote to exit from the EU is just the latest event in a process that signals the rise of a global empire. It’s yet another sign Jesus is coming!
