What does the appearing of Christ mean for Israel and Western Europe?
Israel or, more precisely, a minority in Israel (the ‘remnant’) will realise that Christ is the one they (nationally) crucified and will repent and accept Him (Zech.12:10-14; Rev. 1:7), the rest will be judged. Western Europe is described in prophecy as the revived Roman Empire (Rev. 13), as a confederation of ‘kings’ to delegate some of their power to the head of this empire (Rev.17:13). Tragically, “These shall make war with the Lamb” but “the Lamb shall overcome them.” (Rev. 17:14; cf 19:19). He will destroy the Western European armies by the breath of His mouth (Rev. 19:20).
