Returning to Europe (in Bible prophecy) - and not before time

Instalment #1

The errors of my ways having at last caught up with me, I'll aim to fulfil my pledge to my bloggership of June 22nd last...before too much time has elapsed, and hopefully a year on (at the latest). Suffice it for now, that I do intend dealing with the matter of where Europe 'stands' (both today and in times past) in Bible prophecy. Though indeed the subject may prove to have all manner of ramifications thus far unanticipated, let me at this point simply 'posit' a variety of Scriptural texts which I will soon enough endeavour to link/connect with the continent of Europe (at least as it stood 2,000 years ago, as well as at both the commencement and the end of the Cold War.) But for now - or rather today on - I will simply give a necessarily scattered sampling of them in a bullet-point list, alongside the briefest of explanations (some necessarily repeated from that earlier blogpost of 2016):

*'Then one of the seven angels who
had the seven bowls came and
talked with me, saying to me, "Come, I
will show you the judgment of the great
harlot who sits on many waters,
with whom the kings of the earth
committed fornication, and the inhab-
itants of the earth were made drunk
with the wine of her fornication."
So he carried me away in the Spirit
into the wilderness. And I saw a woman
sitting on a scarlet beast which was full
of names of blasphemy, having seven
heads and ten horns.
The woman was arrayed in purple
and scarlet, and adorned with gold and
precious stones and pearls, having in
her hand a golden cup full of abomina-
tions and the filthiness of her fornica-
tion.
And on her forehead a name was
written:
                 MYSTERY,
      BABYLON THE GREAT,
 THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS
             OF THE EARTH.
I saw the woman, drunk with the
blood of the saints and with the blood
of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw
her, I marveled with great amazement.
But the angel said to me, "Why did
you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of
the woman and of the beast that carries
her, which has the seven heads and the
ten horns....
Here is the mind which has wis-
dom: The seven heads are seven moun-
tains on which the woman sits.... 
The ten horns which you saw are
ten kings who have received no king-
dom as yet, but they receive authority
for one hour as kings with the beast.
These are of one mind, and they
will give their power and authority to
the beast."...
Then he said to me, "The waters 
which you saw, where the harlot sits, 
are peoples, multitudes, nations, and 
tongues. 
And the ten horns which you saw
on the beast, these will hate the harlot,
make her desolate and naked, eat her
flesh and burn her with fire.
For God has put it into their hearts
to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind,
and to give their kingdom to the beast,
until the words of God are fulfilled.
And the woman whom you saw is 
that great city which reigns over the 
kings of the earth.'
